jonny karate Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Anyone knows what goes on during the open practice? Probably will be getting there around 430. Do the ladies go on first? Do they announce the player. Dont know much about this. I do know I will be eating a lot of popcorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear golf shoes and a titlist hat and wait for phil Mickelson to ask me take a shot. It's never happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a character Nesbitt plays on the court, a la Kevin Garnett. -as long as his teammates, coaches, the refs and the folks in Newport News understand then I guess he'll get by with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hopefully, Nesbitt’s not a Gordon type scenario. If so, just have someone use Gordon’s journey as an example of what happens where you’re likely to end up when you go on the dreaded ego trip. For right now, let’s just chalk up the attitude to youthful enthusiasm. With guidance from his teammates and staff hopefully this too shall pass. From the videos it appears he has the tools to be very successful here, but so did Cart’are in the early going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago one member of the Tip-Off-Club got to sit on the bench. I sat there once and hated it. I was afraid I would yell at the refs and get a T. You just tried to stay out of the way.

slubillikens43 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Got randomly selected to attempt a half court shot a few years ago. It wasn't pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenbooster Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I once got the ‘game ball’ at the pre game ceremony from Debbie Yow. After the pictures with her and the Billiken, I turned and dribbled downcourt to take a shot. Those balls are not full of air and i totally embarrassed myself trying to dribble it! I then ran to the basket and had to take two shots to make a layup. Box and Won likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that.........I was impressed enough by the chutzpa that I didn't even notice the shooting form Who was it that won the shot for some sort of burger "for life?" I remember he had to drive the the marketing company in Creve Coeur to pick up coupons from time to time...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenbooster Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Thanks for the kind thought. I had it all planned out. Told my son in advance. While Im out there with Yow, she says, ’Someday someone is going to take this ball and take a shot.’ Little did she know it was me right then.

willie Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 My claim to fame was a time out contest. Got to shoot free throws against another gentleman. We both bricked about 5 then they said shoot a layup. I made mine and got the opportunity to shoot a 3. If I made the 3 you won 2 tickets from TWA to anywhere in the continental US. Somehow I made it. Took a trip to South Florida and saw Larry Hughes play South Florida in the sundome. Billiken Roy needs to tell us about his baseball bat spin. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone to a couple of these and honestly I don't think you learn much about the team for the season play. It is a nice PR thing for the school/team.
