Oh, so here's a guy who dogs Femi John, but when I dog Brett Thompson, you bring out the wood and the nails. Way to go, moy.

I always liked Patterson. Nice guy and one of the better mids SLU has had in a while.

So you don't get banned when you call other posters names? That's great.

It's also called setting up an account during a 3-hour layover at Harstfield in Atlanta. Beat the system.metz

Peter, Ian Voyoukas had a great touch around the basket and was a pretty solid defender. True, I wasn't sold on him until later in his career, but he did have to come in right away because of Tom Frerick's inability to stay healthy. He was thrown into the fire and came out as one of the better Billiken big men. Alliteration aside, we will not see the same out of Thompson. Conklin and Reed have surpassed him as far as mental and physical strength are concerned. Thompson will be frustrated at a lack of playing time, will pout and probably seek a transfer. That's what I see. I am not a big BT fan. When three freshman PF/C types come in and two of them excel leaps and bounds over the third, you will see some poor body language and attitude from the lesser player. That is what Thompson is, in my humble opinion. By the way, good seeing you at Bar Louie on Saturday. Wish we could have talked more. Love you too.

Well the definition of dumb isn't defined on this Web site, so until I get some satisfaction as to what a "dumb opinion" is, you'll get my opinion when asked. This poster asked what Thompson's development will be like and I responded that it will be slow and agonizingly painful. That is from watching a guy like Willie Reed, who didn't even play as a senior in high school, have an incredible freshman year. The comparisons between him and Voyoukas are incredibly inaccurate.

I'd rather root for Memphis than Marquette. Dwayne Wade is the only reason that school is in the Big East. Makes me physically ill to watch them play Notre Dame, UConn, Syracuse and Providence every year. Physically ill. Muck Farquette.

I'd much rather root for the Tigers than MU. Which team have we played more in our history? What school's fan base treats ours like crap when we are a much better school and have a nicer campus? The answer would be Marquette.

Oden was 35, Thompson is 18/19. I'm not making a cheap shot or swipe, just an observation. People are entitled to opinions, even in the Obama era.

Should be interesting...looks like a summer weight program could really help!! Our S&C guys need to pound Willie, Brett and Jeff...they don't need to look like Lou Ferigno, but I had arms like Reid's when I was in jr. high.

Youtube "Gus Johnson Fort Minor Remix." It's worth it.

But the fact that it's a Marquette guy has to be great for us SLU people. I have a hard time talking to my aunt because she is a Marquette grad.

Who will be the next Adam Morrison? Honestly, do we need another Adam Morrison? I can't stand the Kevin Youkilis-wanna-be on Gonzaga's present squad. There's always one.

Has Ball U reached the "Summit" of the basketball world?

Chris Webber's stats before the timeout: Chris Webber 11-18 from the field 23 points Does anyone remember that? No. Heyward will go down in Marquette "lore" for his gaffe tonight. There's nothing we can do about it.
