poser

My alma mater, Army, has been included in the "Bottom Ten" for the better part of two years in both Football and Basketball. I'm not even sure why Army dropped off after going 0-for this past week? I guess I should be happy... A-Bomb-you're a hard man to find...nice win by Auburn.

What's up kid? How's "train'n" going? I hoped I would see you on the board. I couldn't have imagined a worse sports year in my entire life. Mizzou football/basketball, Cowboys, and Army all suck. I'm holding out for Army/Navy...but it's not looking good. Hope all is well. b

Gary I'm sure has the same opinion about the Iraqi pictures as the Boone County scandal...disgusted. The article is pretty funny. But to be honest, I don't know who to believe. The media made all sorts of allegations, when in reality there were only relatively minor infractions. Seemed like alot of hot air from the media, a crack-head ex player, and a bunch of crazy wives.....we'll never know. However, all of the minor violations do add up and point to a clear lack of "institutional control"--nobody seemed to have a firm grip of the situation from the AD down. I'm not sure how the NCAA didn't gig us for that. Hey! All I know is that the only West Pointer on the MU staff still has a job---so I'm sure he had nothing to do with anything ) Holla!

http://sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/7324768 A-bomb-you out there? Haven't been over here/heard from you in awhile. A guy came asking questions about you yesterday....I had nothing but good things to say )

I doubt I'd show up to tomorrow's class.....just a hunch. Right or wrong-that's the fact.

So there you go. By the way, Oklahoma sports rule.

St.Joe earned my respect tonight as well as the A-10 in general. Xavier sent Texas packing and has a great shot against Duke tomorrow. Let's just hope Reddick doesn't get hot. Big XII proved their worth once again in the tournament. I think they'll end up with two teams in the Final Four...again. The BigXII receiving 4 bids was a complete joke. So far BigXII teams are 10-2 in the tourney. Bottom line, Colorado deserved a bid with a 10-6 record and 4th place in the conference. Go Pokes!

which just seemed to escalate during the end of his coaching tenure at Iowa State. He resigned because of it and got help immediately after. From all public accounts (I think I remember an SI article) he's well on the way to recovery. I think the man deserves a second chance in coaching. And by the way, from what I've seen, he's a DAMN good coach. If he didn't have so much baggage I wish he'd go to Mizzou (we can't handle anymore). He's got more BigXII championships than any active BigXII coach and was one rigged game against (i believe duke) from the Final 4. Hampton's happen--many wish they were a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney....

with some ghetto-ass bracket initially leaving off their opponent. WOW! The Tigers have hit a whole new low. It's been a long season for me. I need a drink. Go Air Force!!

Maybe Army can land Robert Whaley and Randy Pulley for next year??? ) By the way, I would make a terrible coach. I'd spend too much time with the cheerleaders....

As a USMA grad I feel compelled to respond: The academic requirements usually doom USMA from fielding any competitive major sport teams. However, that excuse runs thin when I see Air Force playing hoops so well this year--not to mention their outstanding football program. I wish we'd just give up the facade of competing in Big Name college conferences (Conf USA etc.) and join the Ivy....with all the other nerds. Oh well. Go Army-Beat Navy!

Sure, Memphis is an extremely athletic team-but so was Arizona. SLU needs to slow the pace of the game down, play good perimeter defense, and try to establish some post play on offense. If they do that, they'll be close throughout and have a strong chance of winning. Whatever you do, don't try to run with them on offense or play sloppy defense...as clearly demonstrated today by the "fighting" missouri tigers,

It physically pains me to watch this team play. I've never seen such a disorganized bunch of individual players. I hope Quin has his annual February/March turnaround...because at this point Mizzou is not a tourney team. I'm beginning to think that NCAA probation and a new coach wouldn't be the end of the world ) By the way, I think SLU is going to kill Memphis. Calipari is just as terrible of a bench coach as Quin is. Good luck!

but I'm going to use all the excuses I can get ) Bottomline-great game today...Zags a very strong team. Do you post on the Tigerboard. Its hard to talk any Mizzou basketball anywhere with the "scandal" going on now.

this year with a few tough away games.

My biased opinion: MU was screwed bad by the refs. They called at least 4 fouls on us during that .30sec 7 point swing to end the game. And then 3 MU players fouled out, but somehow Gonzaga's star player Turiaf played with his 4th foul for 10 minutes. Hmmmm? I guess you have to expect that playing in Seattle. I'm looking forward to a rematch in k.c. or stl with BigXII refs! Otherwise, I'm very proud of the way MU played in the midst of "Crackergate". Quin had them focused and playing great ball. Reminded me alot of the Marquette game in the tourney. Major props to the Zags'-very deep and talented club. A rare loss that I actually enjoyed watching ) ~

If I could be just a little bit critical of SLU: What's up with attendance at the Savis Center against the #8 team in the nation? Alot of my UofTulsa friends (and fellow private schoolers like you) were really surprised at the bad attendance. They would give their left kidney for a home and home Arizona series and GUARANTEED that it would be a sellout in Tulsa. I tend to believe them Just a question.... Yes, I do realize I'm the ultimate poser--especially with my "Real" Army team getting their butts handed to them by Navy today. I spent last week with the Ray. Now I'm in Houston and spent the day pretty much sauced with the fam and friends watching the SLU&Mizzou comebacks and Army&OU defeats. hope all is well. see you in the hood mid-month...I'll give you a call when I swoop in. b

I just wanted to congratulate SLU fans on the performance on your team today. As a Mizzou fan I rarely see Missouri play to their potential and its refreshing to see a basketball team like SLU OUTPLAY a more talented team with hussle, outstanding coaching, and mental toughness. Regardless of the outcome today, SLU has an outstanding team that has more athletic ability than I've ever seen at st.louis in recent memory. That's a credit to the recruiting ability of the coaching staff you have assembled. You should be proud of the way your team played in front of a national audience. I wish I could say the same about Mizzou vs. Indiana today.... Again, congrats- and I hope my Tigers don't meet your Bilikens in the NCAA tournament come March... best of luck~
