So did you make it to the Kerry appearance?

Don't forget Steve "Snapper" Jones. Marvin did do time after his career had ended. Major drug problems. One funny story about Marvin was the time when he was upset about his contract, and walked out on the team for several days. Management finally found him in Dayton at a pool tournament.

And they had Moses Malone as well! We still have a "Beat the Nets" clicker that was given out at one of the games to distract the Nets when they shot free throws. Very annoying. If Marvin were in college today, he would be a perfect fit at UC. The guy beat one of his teammates at Providence with a tire iron, for pete's sake.

My dad was the team controller for the Spirits, and as a result, there is a substantial amount of Marvin paraphenalia at my parents' house. It's too bad that he wasn't able to keep his act together; he could have been one of the all-time greats.

Frank also predicted that Grimes would pick SLU. I sure hope he's right this time.

Yeah, I can't believe that my ramblings on this forum would lead anyone to confuse me with the Awesome One.

My uncle lives in St. Thomas. I might have to pay him a visit...

I think next year will be a great one for Reggie. He's already demonstrated great leadership and ability as a junior, and next year I think he'll have a Marque Perry-like senior year, carrying his teammates through the tough times when they need him most.

But did not pick Nevada over Michigan State!

I'm not exactly sure what that post means, but I am sure that it illustrates why expectant mothers should abstain from drinking and crack smoking during their pregnancy. I can't believe that Steve hasn't booted this clown yet.

I think Pepper's would be a good place, if it carries the game and is convenient for everyone. At Pepper's, we wouldn't have to compete with other games/fans.

Maybe with years of intense psychotherapy, you might be able to get over this loss. And if you're lucky, you might finally embrace your repressed homosexuality.

Compared to this kid, you're a regular Billiken Roy.

Wake AND Syracuse better win!

Now let's figure out where we're going to watch it!

I bet it did. This really sucks. Does Charter or anyone else plan to televise the game?

What's up, A? Glad to hear you could make it to town. I'm going to be at the pub crawl tomorrow (Friday) night, and I'm going to try to make it to the event on Saturday afternoon. Can't make it to the banquet though. I'm not sure what time we're going to be playing on Saturday, or even where for that matter, but Billiken b-ball will take precedence over any other activities. Are you going to be there on Friday? If so, I'll see you then!

the new arena is not going to be built either? Lame. Very lame.

I'm totally pulling for UAB in the tourney. Good luck!

I think you're right about DC playing out of position at PG in his senior year of high school. Without having compared attendance figures from this year and last year, I'd say attendance was about the same. It seemed like we had around 9,000 fans for most games. It also seemed like whenever we started to build a little momentum, we would have to take off on a three game road trip. The Marquette game might have been the highlight of the year in terms of attendance and energy. Arizona was great as well - perhaps if we had won that game, attendance would have been a little better. Maybe if we can make some noise in the NIT, we can have a strong start next season, attendance-wise.

You're definitely not the only fan in that predicament. There's no way I could make it out to sprawl-ville by 6. Thanks a lot, ESPN.

I can't stand Bush as well, but believe it or not, the new guy is much worse.

Someone on the Billiken forum on STLToday claims that Curtis Muse scored a 20 on the ACT. If he has qualified, is there a place for him on our team?
