I'm still pissed at a kid named Terrence who pitched for St. Mary Magdalen in the '80s. He was like six feet tall in fifth grade and threw really hard but had absolutely no control. Dude drilled me with and my teammates with so many pitches. I only know his name was Terrence because one of the parents would yell, "Rock and fire, Terrence!" before every pitch. Every time we'd play against St. Mary Magdalen, I'd be like, "Goddamnit, don't they have anyone else who can pitch besides Terrence?" I recall yelling at him once from first base that his parents should've named him Terrible instead of Terrence. People laughed and laughed and laughed. F-ing Terrence. This is a long way of saying I totally get where you're coming from.

Kelly Thames was 6-7 coming out of Jennings, and by the time he finished his college days, he was a legitimate 6-8. (He's taller than French, Conklin, etc. He definitely was nowhere near Dobbs in height.)

Ohhhh, I’ll one up you there young timer. His great grand pappy and me played hopscotch down at the watering hole back in the day. He was a hell of a hop scotch player. Seriously, this post is the first time ‘grandpa’ and ‘AAU’ were used in the same sentence.

This doesn't exactly fit in this thread, but Frank said on his show today that Tate is being promoted to Associate Head Coach.

From the Oregon Ducks message board: Re: Okoro transferring 1/2 disappointed but 1/2 not surprised. I hope the best for him, great kid who had some struggles on the court but no doubt stuff he can overcome. Hopefully he finds a team with a good big man coach, something I think Oregon is lacking. I won't forget his Fr year though when Altman credited him for the late season surge to the Sweet Sixteen! Hard to find a player with a better attitude than him.
