Old guy

Again, no. George Washington, the president, lived at Mt. Vernon, VA. Mt. Vernon is south of DC. George Mason lived in Northern Virginia, around the current Fairfax area. At the time they both lived it would have taken more than a day or two to go from one house to the other.

They are not neighbors. GW is in downtown DC, George Mason is in Fairfax Virginia.

We almost lost this one but we turned the tables and manage to win it in a grand finale. Wow!

Wow, we won! Whenever Jimerson is neutralized by the other team or is not scoring well, we tend to lose. I was afraid this was going to be the case. Then, out of nowhere we managed to turn the game in our favor and win it! Amazing win, Wow! Now, onto the next one/

Right you are that it would be better to keep SLU NILs in private hands. However, May is still the head of the SLU athletic department. As long as he remains in that position the financial affairs of the SLU Athletic Department will be in trouble. He already showed his poor financial ability with the large contract he gave Ford expecting to make lots of money when Ford got recruited to go coach at a power conference. This was a true genius level financial move. Just remember that a University makes money out of tuition payments, contracts to do specific work for clients, and investment gains in its endowment. These are the primary streams of income the University can count upon. Donors are a nice and significant extra that is added on top of all the other streams of income. However, it depends upon the donors to decide to donate their money or not. Given our present economy, it is better to leave NILs money in the donors hands and not make them an additional University obligation.

No one ever saw him, that is right. His main interest in coming to SLU was to have the surgery he needed, the post op and PT he needed, and the post season practice. When he decided he was ready his just walked out and went somewhere else. He was something like a basketball sports gold-digger, once he got what he wanted he left.

Guess again we lost 62 to 78. If my math is correct that means we lost by 16. A loss is a loss, now onto the next game.

Team Rankings has SLU losing by 10 points against VCU tonight. Looking at the stats for both teams posted by Team Rankings, it will be a major upset on VCU if we manage to win this game. Go Bills, do it!

No, I am saying it is not up to me or to anyone else in this board to say what is best for Larry Hughes II and his family, it is up to them. I can and do wish him all the best, but that is it.

I neither have the faintest idea of what is best for Larry Hughes II and his family, nor will I waste any time trying to figure it out. What I am pretty sure of is that Larry Hughes II and his family thought this was the best for him. They may be right or they may be wrong, I really do not care. What is done is done.

Goodwin had, the way I remember it, surprising runs of good plays combined with poor play and poor passes in his freshman year, but he HAD to play the team was short of good players due to situation. He was much improved by the end of the season.

Larry Hughes II did what was best for Larry Hughes II and his family supported his decision. He and his family will find somewhere else to go to.

I think this is something that is up to him to decide. However, playing 15 minutes or so per game will not work at professional level sports, so he will have to prepare to make a living doing something else. It is not up to us to decide.

Agree with A_Bomb. If the man cannot play sports because they demand a level of physical exertion that he cannot tolerate, then he has to find a way to make a living in an occupation that requires less physical exertion. He does not have to do taxes, he can work in just about any regular occupation but must avoid work that do require large amounts of physical exertion. Check the amount of minutes he has been able to play (15 against Jackson St., 15 against SF, 23 against Chicago ST, 10 against IL State, after this game he did not play for the next 3 games Wooford, Grand Canyon, and William woods resting forr about 2 weeks, then he played 10 against Fordham, 11 against St. Joseph, and 13 against St. Bona). I think it is pretty well established that he cannot tolerate game level muscle exertion for more than around 10 to maybe 15 minutes, even after a 2 week resting with no play. Kindly tell me what professional team either in the US or elsewhere will take a man that can only play 10 to 15 minutes per game? He needs to figure what he wants to do for a living after college, and the job chosen by him will require little physical exertionn.

@The Wiz As far as Thames is concerned, I do not think they have a valid diagnosis or treatment for his cramps, not yet. I think they will be forced to play Thames, as good as he is and as well as he plays, for a limited amount of time per game for the rest of the season, and possibly for the rest of his college education. I believe Thames is likely to have a build up of lactic acid in his muscles which brings him down with cramps after a certain amount of exercise (maximum playing time is yet to be determined). I believe he will need a deep muscle biopsy to make a firm diagnosis, something that will need significant amount of healing time and cannot be done during the active playing season. There may or may not be a curative treatment available for whatever causes this problem, which is similar in physical manifestations to the mitochondrial myositis Thatch was diagnosed with. If this turns out to be the case for Thames, a career as a professional basketball player will be over for him. He will need to change plans and probably his academic major as well into a sedentary occupation that will allow him to make a living working in an office without overexertion to his muscles. His ultimate outcome after college appears likely to be similar to Welmer's and Thatch's.
