Jackson St. (12/18/11)

Tony Mitchell Day arrives.

Everything I read describes him as a player that is very gifted athletically for his size. I will be happy if he can score a bit around the hoop. This is bound to open up things outside for the other players. I hope he can scrape off the rust rather quickly.

I made my wife 2 different list this afternoon: 1 for Christmas & 1 for Tony Mitchell Day

Hopefully you score big on Tony Mitchell Day!!!!

if you have to make a list for your wife in order to score, you won't score...

Hopefully his grades clear and everything's good by Sunday. I'll be interested to see how many students show up because it'll be after the semester is over. The buzz around campus about this kid is insane. He would draw crowds for his intramural games. Can't wait for Sunday.

Figured I'd try another method , I'm running out of chloroform

Depends on what your wife looks like

We have the week off while JSU has 3 games in between. We might run into a team with tired legs

They might run into a team that has Tony Mitchell...

A couple of games ago, there was talk that Patton might be able to return as well. Is this still a possibility?

He was at last nights game I believe... he was rebounding for the team during the shoot around and sat on the bench by Forrest and Trey.... (I believe it was him). I rather have him come in next year with Odah to replace zo and ked. (And keep Mitchel!)

Let's all try to remember the real reason for Tony Mitchell Day... to celebrate the birth of 8 lb 6 oz Baby Tony.

Pregame show just started. I'm gonna try to head home here in the next couple of minutes to catch the opening tip.

They have a 7'2 giant... Thankfully, feet look slow and moves appear generic/predictable

Holmen, Alzee, Jones, Hogans & Stojoko start

Mitchell with a board and dime in a few minutes of action. Chris still pacing us with 11.

NT 22

JSU 14

7:26 to go

Game sorta slowed down as both teams have turned it over and taken questionable shots. Tony got hit first bucket on a dunk.

Putbacks are finally a sure thing....

JSU 20

Mitchell playing well in the interior. Not sure how many boards he has, but it seems about every half minute Hank and George are talking about him getting one.

Chris has 14.

NT 36

JSU 24

Halftime

Tony was having a one man dunk contest the last few minutes.

That no-call on Jones' dunk attempt was silly.

The one thing that I noticed is that Mitchell's moves, especially the dunks, are lightning fast.
