Hey, dawg breath, who you calling a cracker? Them boys is proud o' that battle flag their great grand diddies died defending. Y'awl better not cross over into the Palmetto state anytime soon, we'll sick the paddyrollers on ya' sorry ass.

Unreal....hear that loud flushing noise? That's your cred going down the toilet. Now you've labeled him a malcontent gay shirker. What's next...he was riding with Mel Gibson and believes the holocaust didn't happen?

Give the guy a break, FGWL, before you cast him as a malcontent and a shirker. Cripes,I hope UB has banned this board to the team.

Damn, I thought this was a hoops ranking....I started quivering ...Soccer....who cares????? The French?

How can you expect much from a kid who hasn't played any competitive bball in over two years? A D1 game is a hell of a lot more intense than pickups at WP or practice scrimmages. That said, I hope he calls on the force, even if it's the darkside, and averages a double double for the season.

1.) I think Luke Meyer will surprise at the 3 2.) The PF from Minnesota 3.) UNC, I think Charlotte's our rival. Old CUSA days. 4.) Anthony Bonner...we'd at least make elite 8. Of course how do you leave out the legend. 5.) I hate tennis...Charleze Theron rules.

Amen...

I'm not getting that PM.

looks like a five horse race. You read the CHP preview and two powerhouses are ranked in the hundred+ category, St. Joes and Temple. Got to figure some teams didn't make the top 144, Duquense and St. B's come to mind...possibly Fordham. So does that leave it up to X, Dayton, UMass, SLU, Charlotte (not necessarily in that order) to slug it out? GWU is somewhat depleted and shouldn't be the force they have been. With our out of conference schedule upgraded, say we go 8-6 ooc and 12-4 in A-10 play...is 20-10 good enough for an invite? A couple of wins in the tourney we're looking at 22-11. Or do we absolutely need to beat one of the ranked teams, SIU, TXAM, UNC? Barring a critical injury to any of the big 3, IV/TL/KL, this record is very doable. If no invite, then the A-10 is not the conference we all thought it was.

So this means he has qualified and is now practicing with the team?

He was supposed to call me here in Charleston for a golf game...but it's been so hot, I hope he doesn't.

Make her an assistant on the men's squad....sounds like she can recruit some talent against the biggies.

First, NIT stands for "not in tournament". It's hard to get too excited about it, but at least we might get a chance to see St. Louis on TV nationwide....a chance...no guarantee. But let's hope this team is NCAA bound. If not, then go NIT. If we don't make at least this, whether it be 8, 16, 32 or 40 teams....UB must go....

He would be the next Vashon player destined for All American status.

I think I understand what you're saying...but I'd bet the farm we ain't making the top 40 on anyone's preview. By the way...ESPN has started their conference previews. I think A-10 is soon to be out.

Who knows? Pdiddy says yes, hard to doubt him, and V says no but if we did he'd jump at the offer??????

We're not listed in the top 40 (they have made those choices). so we will fall somewhere between 101 and 41. My guess is in the 70's. X is the only A-10 team listed in top 40 (23). SIU is 22. This means we will play at least 3 top 20s in out of conference sched.

If we don't this guy should be burned at the stake...so far so good though...let's hope we make it at least into the top 50-60....

Bonwich, our sympathies are with you....

Hopefully, 3-4 signed recruits will be there. What is projected opening season....2008-09? If so, TL and KL will at least get one year in there.

Didn't Grunk set up a game with Miami of Ohio this year?

The 4 is wide open...think it's impossible right now for anyone to call a starter. Would imagine it'll be a game by game decision unless someone puts together a string of consistent games. But if any of the 4's can play, meaning LM doesn't need to play it, I see Luke as the starter at the 3 with DB off the bench. UB wants LM out there for his knowledge of the system, his defense, and his desire. Not saying DB doesn't posess all these qualities but until he demonstrates it on a consistent basis, LM's the starter at the 3.

Have we even offered Powell???? Flyphan, who else offered these two gems?

There are no Moral Victories...they don't put (MV)after L do they? I want us to beat SIU, but the choice was which do you prefer? A 3-0 start and a win against a top 15 is my first choice...should be a hell of a confidence booster...then ride that wave to a win over UNC for some national exposure, hey Santa Clara beat their championship team why can't we beat a younger version? If SIU goes our way, great, but if both the above happen I'm not slitting my wrists over a loss to the Salukis.

Not, "Maine, eh?" It's "Maine, ayuh, wicked good lobstah up theah." It's all that seafood we ate that made us Maniacs so smart...
