Blue & Gold

I work in Marlington & there are 3 D-1 players on this years' team - 2 seniors, 1 junior. One senior is going to Michigan State, 1 is going to Tennessee and the junior has already committed to Michigan. Word on the street was none of them liked Fickell & Co. very much. Thought they were too pushy to get commitments and downright arrogant/mean-spirited when the kids were looking @ other schools. Just a rumor, but I'm sure there's some fire here.

You should be at the JAR when a ref makes a questionable call. Lunatic fringe. I referee co-ed, elementary school-aged children's church-league basketball and that's rough enough! I wouldn't want to touch high school, let alone D-1 college refereeing with the proverbial 10-foot pole. But a 38-7 free throw shooting discrepancy should definitely cause a few raised eyebrows. However (I didn't check the stats, but I doubt it was as lopsided as Valpo), we dropped a game to the Dukes last night & we can't blame the refs for that one.

During the postgame interview KD mentioned that AA was banged up & couldn't play much in the 2nd half. He also mentioned Walsh was banged up & had to sit out the 2nd half of the Valpo game. I'm still surprised he burned Deji's redshirt. But, I guess w/ both our starting & backup PG's a little banged up right now...?

Nice!

Hey i'll agree that "The future is bright" but i wont agree that "he can't be anymore excited". maybe he should be wearing shades? I know some of you guys say RI is arrogant. Well, I've never met him, but he's never impressed me that way. I feel so sorry for the guy. To me he seems like a really nice guy, who is just in woefully over his head. Watching this video is so depressing on a few different levels. [edit]: I've just got to keep reminding myself that the UA has made him a millionaire. There are lots of other people I should probably feel much more sorry for.

December 10th, 2009; a day that will go down in infamy. I wonder what ever happened to ITZ? InTheZone 75% OnTheMoney.

Congrats on tying the shot-block record, Mama Zeke! Keep Zeke's head up! This is still going to be a big year for us!

I wish LO was our coach right now. His teams were entertaining as all get out.

I don't like that shot either. Nik played guard for Serbia's Jr. National Team? I find that hard to believe.

+1. That early season BCS victory was completely unprecedented in our program's history & now it doesn't really matter so much. We're back to slow resume building w/o any shout-outs from the national media.

Romeo, actually. Zeke just tied Rome's record for blocked shots! (Dru was only 6' tall! ) Zeke's going to obliterate that record!

Whoopsie. Q dribbles the ball of his foot. (I'm good at that one.)

dang I was pretty close! Not so fast, my friend! Walsh w/ a big THR3333333!!!

Yeah. I know these guys are on full-ride scholarships, but I can't help but feel sorry for the guys on the team. I'd probably fake an injury so I could just take this final week off & soak in the hot tub.

Hmm, there we go not guarding the arc again.

Big Tree definitely has to work on his FTs.

This guy's no Frenchie; tonight it's more difficult to envision the action than when the masterful Frenchie is behind the mic. But I don't think he sucks.

+1 Wow, I can't believe you dug this up! Oh, how depressing.

They've regained their composure. They're going to be just fine. I thought the team would get off to a somewhat slow start this year, simply due to all the new pieces-parts. But that MSU win sure was convincing. However, the way they've played against Valpo & now this evening is kinda what I had expected. We'll see. There's just too much athleticism/individual talent on this team for them not to be good come, at least, mid-season.

Whoa. Deji Ibitayo is in the game! Hmm.

Not me.

I like this guys voice. I think he just said his name is Bob Baker. He sounds like a big-time announcer. Idk if he'll be any good or not, but it sounds very professional.

Ahh. The ol' bait-n-switch.

And it will be! WMU is goooood!
