The Pelican

I don't remember quoting you when I made my statement in regards to canceling the Duke game. But I will quote your first statement and address it since you brought it up. Actually you are not saying cancel the game in its entirety but just play it with a different team in lieu of SLU. I think that is canceling the game on our part but not on the part of CBS or Duke. We made a commitment with a binding contract to play Duke at Duke on CBS on said date and time. Barring unusual circumstances like a blizzard, collapse of the Cameron Indoor Stadium facility, or other so-called acts of God, the game is required to go on. You are saying don't cancel the game in the first above post but move it to a different time or don't air it. That would be like Harris-Stowe coming to us and saying, "hey, can you tell Rich Gould and Scott Highmark not to show up because our two best players got into some trouble and we won't be able to make this competitive." CW11 and SLU say, "Tough ###### and you are not ever welcome back. Oh and by the way, we will make sure you don't get a game with all the schools we affiliate with and have relationships with. Oh and by the way, now we have to tell all the donors coming in for this game to not show up or change their plans because of two student's inability to behave - I don't think so. Be there or payup and suffer much more dire consequences!" Your above underlined statements I am in agreement with you.

I understand where you are coming from; however, in a very unselfish way think about what this game meant to our players, with or without KM/WR. This was an opportunity of a lifetime for them - to play the #1 team and past NCAA champs at the most awesome place to play a game of college basketball in the country. It was a nice reward and experience for them and I could see that while I was there.

So what does you statement have to do with canceling a previously scheduled game?

I misread the quoted post. It was redacted. Sorry.

That is correct.

There was no possibility of this happening for so many reasons. This is not a CYO league. They don't even do this in high school. I can think of about 1000 reasons more why you would want this game than not. Our tune would be different if we were more competitive and this conversation would not even exist. Playing the #1 team in the country will put Temple, et al in perspective for this very young team. How much buzz would UM Baltimore County at home created vs. playing Duke at Cameron on National TV? Think about how dumb SLU would look if they canceled the Duke game? You would never get an opportunity to play a BCS team ever again. You would get 1000x more bad press from this than taking a beating at Duke. The more time I waste explaining myself the dumber I realize the notion of canceling is and I am going to stop typing.

He didn't practice yesterday at all.

Ankle is bothering him and may reserve him since we have 5 games in ten days coming up. Not good.

I thought that was pretty cool.

Assume that you are being serious here I would have to say that you have shown some humility in a few of you posts in the last few days that deserves some honest recognition. This post is not at all meant to be condescending but a recognition. You are getting wise in your younger age. Good for you and please take this as a compliment. FREE WILLIE! P.S. - Did you start the Free Willie and Kwamain Facebook page?

I can tell you that RM could hurt any pro prospect as much as help them. We all know you hate RM and Rob Loe. Just a little jab at RM here with no basis.

You are right; I noticed that too and the group I was with was talking about that on the way out. There were a few slips with regards to KM. The tense in which we spoke of both of them gave a few clues away. It sounds like he is definitely coming back. A little more sticky with WR.

That was good.

RM said he expects Matt Dickey to transfer in the spring.

10:30 at Card gym. See you there.

He also said he is coaching as if they will never come back. He did say he would talk KM into RSing.

Be is a verb therefore you did not end your sentence with a preposition. Life is about perception which is our reality. So it seems.

This is true.

This is correct. First stop - ATL.

It is called humor as I can see from you above post (which is funny) you are able to understand. I see the obtuse version is the latter and the acute personality is the former by your separate and distinct statements highlighted accordingly. So it seems.

Kshoe called this one right. Neither TreyT3 nor BERNY use an apostrophe and have a propensity to bash WR. Writing styles are the same. Looking back it is very obvious. Good call Kshoe!

Are you a SLU fan? Yes or No He is your chance to answer. I will assume that a non-response in the next two hours is a No.

By the number registered on the birth certificate.

See you there! I will be the one wearing the pelican costume and a #2 jersey, limited edition. We fly in on Friday and fly out on Sunday.

Lumbergh!
