  1. Please don't tell me that you would actually compare Wally Szerbiak to Dirk! Dirk has been mentioned as an MVP candidate, can play inside and out, and is widely considered one of the best players in the NBA by NBA personel. Wally is never mentioned in the same breath as Nowitzki. As UNT96 mentions, Dallas, as well as everyone else in the NBA, is looking for that inside presence to counter Shaq. That person isn't out there and isn't coming in the near future. IMHO, Dallas needs a Ben Wallace type to patrol the middle as a defensive presence and an animal on the boards.
  2. I wouldn't leave the team in Van Exel's hands. He runs too hot and cold, plus the Mav's don't need another outside shooter. We need to find a strong inside presence that is good defensively, rebounds, and is a good passer. This team has plenty of scorers. Now, if Minnesota wanted to give up Wally for Van Exel, I would take that offer. I just don't really see that happening though.
  3. Where has he proven he can play point guard, much less against NBA competition? Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to find a method to your madness. Again, Catholic high schools aren't known for prepping NBA players. Also, point guard is probably the most difficult position to play in the NBA. Look at Travis Best, Earl Washington, Phil Ford, Kenny Anderson, etc.. These were all excellent college point guards in power conferences, yet have just been or were servicable point guards. Back to James. Do you really forsee him as a point guard in the NBA? I thought he would be more of a small forward.
  4. I'd take Anthony based on the fact that he has proven himself against tougher competition. LeBron will have a greater learning curve ahead of him.
  5. #1 Pick?: I'd have to go with Anthony. As Michael Jordan said about James, "He's looked great against a bunch of Ohio Catholic high schoolers" or something like that. Anthony has proven himself against a much better class of competition. As for McNamara, he had to be my favorite player on the court last night. Shooting lights out, being a pest on defense, and great hustle. If these guys stay together for a couple of years at Syracuse, they could be awesome. Besides Anthony and McNamara being freshmen, the low post player that made the block at the end, can't recall his name, is only a sophomore. He has unbelievable footwork in the paint!
  6. In my car at this time: Stevie Ray Vaughn Frank Sinatra Earth, Wind and Fire George Strait James Taylor Toby Mac Dave Koz
  7. I hope these quotes aren't too exagerated. The leaping ability is a possibility, but 23 points in 3 minutes!? I hope it is true, but it sounds to good to be.
  8. We got screwed: Villi for Erskin (I know Trilli recruited Erskin, but I just had to make comment)
  9. Never thought I'd see these two mentioned in the same sentence.
  10. I don't believe anyone called you a name, we just choose to disagree. The problem is that the war tends to become an emotional subject.
  11. Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, Fred, Sally Field, Dom Deluise(sp?), Jackie Gleason! Uh, who was in Fast and the Furious? Vin Diesel, whatever Smokey and the Bandit rules this contest.
  12. Nope. Soundman, That is a great tribute to your Uncle. Many thanks to your family that has chosen to serve our country. My prayers are with them for safety in the war and a safe trip home.
  13. Well, I happen to agree with Zeke on this one. Here's something to ponder tonight: Has anyone had the opportunity to visit the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C.? It is an awesome depiction of how Hitler came into power and then abused this power by committing unbelievable crimes against different classes of people. What he did was horrendous, and this museum would not be here if not for these acts. It should serve as a reminder of what an out of control ruler can do to innocent people. Well, if we let Hussein continue to rule Iraqi there would be another museum built in the decades ahead to remind us of the terrible deeds he ruled over. Check you history books folks. Everyone wanted to turn the other cheek on Hitler and look what happened. Hopefully, we are stopping history from repeating itself. May God bless our troops, their families, the innocent Iraqi citizens, and America. Thank you Mr. President for making the tough choice and being a leader when others were afraid to.
  14. Thank you Brian. I was getting heated at some of AFLAC's statements, and didn't want to be held responsible for the words I might have typed. BTW, treat him just like the duck in the commercials gets treated, and he will get frustrated and walk away.
  15. related to Steven? No seriously, could you give us a rundown of the recruits you have signed, their position, incoming class, strengths, current team, stats, etc...? Also, who do you see as the "diamond" of this class and who is the sleeper?
  16. Great news Coach, and we all look forward to supporting our newest women's sport. BTW, does anyone, besides me, see the irony in playing our games at DENIA park?
  17. Erskin has been battling injuries for most of the year. ut was hopeful he would come on in the post season, but it doesn't look promising for him.
  18. And to think, I was just getting used to being referred to as a child molestor by the folks at the Helmet Project! These are awesome.
  19. OR, Notre Dame will find out how good they are!
  20. Thank goodness we already have the Super Pit and aren't waiting on the Denia HO's to approve this building. Seriously, the Super Pit is the best college venue in the Metroplex and should be a drawing card for us. Now we just need to fill it up on a consistent basis.
  21. It looks to me, strictly just an outsider's view, that UTA is headed for the crapper.
  22. My point is that Denton, the businesses and citizens, have not supported UNT throughout the years. My family came to Denton and UNT (then NTSU) in 1965. My mom tells the story of them getting being excited about their first football game at NTSU and arriving 2 hours early to guarantee a seat. Well, lo and behold, when they arrived not one other person was in the stands! It has been that way for years. With almost 100,000 citizens, 30,000 students and over 100,000 alumni, filling Fouts should be easy.
  23. Too bad it took her 2 years and roughly 60 games to figure out "what turns her on."
