Goodwin earned a cool $53,093 for the Suns finish in the NBA cup. -

Goodwin is solidly in the rotation now and while Colin Gillespie is getting most of the headlines, Goodwin has become the lead defender on the team. With Allen up and down play and now Booker is out for a few more days the minutes will continue to pile up for Goodwin. No stopping this OKC team. Best team since the Bulls heyday. -
Also there are bad seat in Chaifetz. My father has to have handicapped seating. They won't let me or my kids sit in that row with him, so I bought seat across the aisle, last row of the bottom section in the bend. The handicapped section blocks the view from those seats to one basket.

Doing my best Old Guy impersonation as food is my business. Kraft and Velveeta are the same company. Kraft Heinz is set to split into two companies. They have pushed their timetable up due to lost market share. Kraft, Velveeta, and the Heinz family of sauces will be split off while their perishable brands like Lunchables will be under a separate entity. Kraft Mac & Cheese has in fact lost a great deal of their market share this decade. They are pretty desperate. Also their prices have crept up, as most food has, actual cost of production has remained low. Margins are extremely high on this product so they can afford to give it away. These products are now selling in the 1.05-1.29 range while cost to make them has remained at a steady .16-.18. In 15 I would regularly sell these for 2/$1. In that time costs have gone down while prices have more than doubled. Keep that in mind as a consumer. While overall price is important, as companies continue to market cheaper and less nutritional foods, as Kraft has, the most important piece to look at is calories/dollar vs actual cost. A product called Goodles will be entering the STL market soon. It blows away Kraft in taste, quality and nutrition for about the same cost. That and the reemergence of private label competitors have pushed these old brands like Kraft Mac & Cheese off to the wayside.

These low major ADs & Commissioners take these "volunteer" positions to raise their profile nationally and get better jobs, either at Major schools or at jobs that are supported by the large schools.

We haven't beaten them since 03. Best we did was a tie at home. They have been a dominant program but I feel our series has been more lopsided than it should be.

I believe Harry was added to the team after complaints were made. I never saw him play either. My Father says he's the greatest Billiken he ever saw (been going to games since 1956). All time Billikens only Easy Ed and AB are in the conversation with Harry. Rogers was a 3 time State Champion at Sumner. His Sr season he was the star on the best basketball team ever from St. Louis. Rogers led the freshman team in scoring with over 21 ppg. Going season by season Rogers statistically had the best sophomore season of any Billiken ever, the best Jr season of any Billiken ever, and the best Sr season. He would leave the program as the leading all time scorer by a wide margin. Rogers could do it all. Unlimited range, great ballhandling skills, excellent post player and usually the best rebounder on the squad. The only knock on him is he never made the tournament. His teams were always near the top of the MVC and under todays tournament qualifications Harry's teams would have made the NCAAs every year as a single digit seed. I did an extensive thread on him on twitter a few years ago. Here is a link

Tillet will most likely get another year because of her contract. The freshman have shown promise but in the end I don't think she can recruit at this level, and I don't think she has identified the type of players she needs at this level either.

The Suns have played surprisingly well. Goodwin is getting a lot of great pub around the league. Goodwin and Gillespie are on track to get paid this summer. The Suns may not be able to keep either of them with their payroll restraints. The Suns are horribly run but should be shopping Goodwin actively to get more value and maybe some picks. -
Anybody know how to sign up for toddler powerwheels race that they did the last game?

From the Austin Peay website. They may not have game by game records that far back.

Austin Peay is leading NC Greensboro at the half looking to go 3-1. Zyree Collins is leading the Governors in scoring with over 14 a game. He is the first Austin Peay freshman to ever score in double figures in the first 3 games of his career.
