05- We thought you were a real fan. Where are your priorities/

Cut Class.

For what it's worth at the last Billiken Club meeting I spoke with May about the A-10. I told him I thought it was far superior to the MVC and would help us when and if a new confrence was formed. He said he agreed with me and said we were going nowhere. That said he needs to tell Majereus to keep his coments private, Rick can and will believe anything he wants but it doesn't do anybody good for him to blast the A-10.

I'd be very happy to be on prime TV as much as the Zag's or Butler.

I thought the rational of charter flights was to keep kids in class. Fly out late,fly back after the game. If I understood Porter correctly they were staying east flying to Charlette this afternoon. That doesn't sould like a ideal charter situation.

All of a sudden our depth has become unbelievable for a Billiken team and will be even stronger next year. I know Anderson at Missouri plays 12 with his hectic style,but can RM keep everybody happy with our more deliberate style? This is a good problem as long as the coaches can keep egos in check. Porter went out of his way on the post game show to praise Brian for his cheerleading as his time has been cut. Something to watch.

I was there and I thought Rick was very good with the kids. They seemed very engaged to what he was saying. All I saw was smiles and laughs. As far as CE was concerned, I felt he was trying to take pressure off him to become the great savior.

Rick said a lot of good things about John Smith last night. He said John has worked very hard to develop his shot. He said John had a large upside if he continues to work hard.

I said this once before and got blasted but I don't think we will ever see Jeff Reid play again for the Billikens.

When I goy my bill it didn't include my bar bill. I pointed that out and my server said they were having trouble but not to worry about it. What a deal.

As I said in another post "Christmas is tough on kids."

I think this is a legitimate concern. Christmas break is always hard on players.

So you are telling me I'd make a pretty good gambler. No takers yet.

Hey Roy I didn'y know Justin Johnson still played for us. He must be on the 8 year plan,

I can't tell you where but I have $20 that says we will win at least 2 confrence road games.

Sarcasm.

I don't know anything about this kid but Welston's academics are bad. I would be very surprized if this kid could qualify for any D1 school. I think you are looking JC at best. If kids from Vashon have trouble qualifying I don't think a kid from Welston has much of a chance.

From my angle it looked like a terrible call. No way did I feel the defender was set.

At the end of the game when he was doing his shake and bake Rick got a big smile on. I thought he might say shoot, but he didn't.

So does anyone know if he has been totally cleared. Not that he would but could he play in the Bowling Green Game?

I have always been a Coach Knight hater. I thought he was a bully who treated his players like ###### and coached through intimidation. That said I really like him on ESPN. His basketball knowledge is unsurpassed,but he keeps it simple enough to follow and doesn't use terms like their running a UCLA cut.I really liked him the last couple of weeks when he threw Callipari and Kentucky under the bus. I thought he might get in trouble with ESPN for getting on the establishment, but he and Musberger had a long conversation during one of the games they were doing. Besides Callipari he got on the NCAA for their 1 and done policy. Good stuff.

On the Sporting News basketball website they have been running a blog called moment of the decade. Today's item is dedecated to Justin Love for breaking Kenyon Martin's leg in the CUSA tournament. Actually it's about a Cinnci kid lamenting the loss of Martin.

I think you are probably right.

I hope he comes.
