emmitt01

Give me Carolina by at least 7, somehting like 24-17 or 28-20.

Will be making the wise decision this year not to guard Emmitt.

5'11", 195, sub 4.7 speed, great hands, great arm, modest I'm in

Here's your sign ideas Erin. 1)WELL FIU TOO THEN! 2)DID YOU KNOW PANTHERS AND PANTIES HAVE ONLY TWO LETTERS DIFFERENCE? 3)WELCOME TO DENTON....NOW GO HOME! 4)DON'T TAKE THE ASS-WHOOPIN PERSONAL

And don't forget Erin's sign "The only pioneers we know are women." is now in the hall of fame. On a side note, I'm told that when Sho Jo dunked on that guy he told him "You can't hold me n****!" Classic.

1)Get permission from RV to do some decorating in the pit, provided you take it down at the end. Signs along the railing on the upper deck are always visible from the court and the other side. 2)Butcher paper and paint aren't THAT expensive. I can't ever forget the fun of making signs such as "Welcome Denver fans...both of you" and "Put in the white boys...it's over." That latter sign started a big firestorm and got Talons in a bit of hot water but the crowd AND THE TEAM loved it. 3)Get crazy with our attire. Funny hats, face paint, body paint, etc. Hell, find out who "super fan" is and have her make appearances at the pit as well. 4)Let's do some research on these opposing teams. Every team has a player with a funny name. Sanchez...nuff said. And I remember a few years ago a player named Chris Jackson for NMSU came to the pit after barely getting into school because of his test scores. The chants of "S-A-T, S-A-T" were classic and you could see it got to him. 5)I''ll make more games as I can. True heckling WILL come back to the pit. 6)Talk to RHA and the Union. Put up signs for tailgating and the games in dorms and in the union. Nobody can go to a game that they don't know about. Likewise, pressure the Daily to run a story on Sho Jo and the team before EVERY game. If you don't see a story the day of a game...let the hate emails commence!!!!! Why not suggest a running tally of his blocks, his rebounds, or the number of times he dunks in someone's face?

Oh that Mike, he's a character.

1)Good game...why our team decided to show their dominance only in the last few minutes is beyond me, but a win is a win is a win 2)Why did UT-Pan Am steal the university of Miami's uniforms? 3)Sanchez....nuff said. 4)If JJ ever wants to recruit a guy to do nothing but inbound the ball their #10 would be a good place to start looking 5)For those who are in love with Eaglechick...kudos on your taste 6)I met a real life Aggie...and he did a "whoop!" That is officially one of the funniest things ever....authentic college station backwoodsmenship 7)To Justin, yes the change of venue was a plus...

I know we lost to Indiana....but would anyone have believed at this time last year that at this time this year we'd drop a game to the Hoosiers by nine? And ULL last night lost to Arizona BY 3!! Conference ball is gonna be fun.

I should hope so but our fans have been notoriously bad about supporting the b-ball team.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. As has been said before, players do read this board. What must Drew have thought early in the year if he read this board? How could you not have an adverse reaction to comments like "Drew is a good athlete but Scott is the true leader of this team" or "Drew didn't prove anything last year. It was all the running game and defense." Not saying this definitely has something to do with it, but it couldn't help.

Men's team off to a good start.

Funny thing about some of those rogue alumni....they put you in the position you so haughtily condemn them from. And as far as cheers that demean the other team...cheering period from some of the actives would be a vast improvement. Talons has lost something recently...motivation for starters. What's in the pipeline as far as improving attendance for the Arkansas State game? How many have made it to the away games? What revolutionary ideas have been brainstormed to wake the sleeping giant that is the UNT student body? Anything? I would never knock the organization itself...it's the best organization that the campus has ever known....but a little fire in the bellies of the current crop couldn't hurt.

I'm kinda 50/50 on this one. if Drew didn't know the guy was standing in the back of his truck then he did what I and most anyone would have done....hear gunshots = get your ass out of there. But, once you see the lights and sirens PULL OVER. And, in what may be the bonehead move of the year for our players, when an officer WITH WEAPON IN HAND tells you to exit the vehicle you exit the vehicle. I don't care if you're Pope John Paul get out of the damn vehicle. Had it been me there would have been one request to come out of the truck....then he's coming through the driver's side window. And grade problems? Are you kidding? We had a little saying amongst those I ran with in college "What are you taking that they don't offer next semester?" Not that we intentionally screwed up in classes but college has a myriad of distractions and even moreso for an athlete...I hope he gets in under control but some slack is due here. I also won't knock him on being where there was alcohol....tailgating on Saturday took my "high and mighty" priveleges away.

Here's the real question. When was that last time you went to a hotel, called for assistance with the tv, and got into bed with the woman who showed up...all within the span of an hour?

"she has sex with a star and then cries rape. I hate the Lakers but this isn't basketball, this is basic human emotion and they are dealing with this guy's life here." Stebo, I'm gonna hope you're right on this one...because I absolutely HATE it when we are so quick to condemn the victim because we don't want to believe our celebrities are fallable. From the moment this news broke the consensus has been "Kobe would never do something like that, he seems so nice" or "A guy like Kobe would never have to rape a woman." What about the flip side? What about the fact that celebrities have an overgrown sense of entitlement? What about the fact that we coddle our athletes and other celebs because we're so star struck? Again, I hope the man is innocent...but I can't stand to see us play judge, jury and executioner...against the victim!

I can tell you pretty much what the Mavs are thinking and that they are wrong in thinking this. They're thinking "hey, we have scoring so let's get some guys who aren't afraid to bang a little and play a bit of defense." Neither Marshall nor Fizer are amazing rebounders or defenders really. Either is pretty much Eduardo Najera with a little more scoring and a little less hustle. What they need is a b ig man, a real honest to goodness, no three pointer shooting, big man. This doesn't do that.

I"ll take Syracuse. Too much athleticism and, forgive the tactlessness, they play a "black" style of ball as opposed to the Kansas boys. Fundamentals will only win you games if the guy you're guarding doesn't have the ability to jump out of the gym or break your ankles.

Carmelo Anthony showed that for all the hype TJ Ford gets, the player who is more ready for the league wears the non-burnt type of orange.

Happy B-day! I"m short of birthday gifts but I hope the football suffices. If it doesn't shoot me an email and we'll work something out.

I don''t know if I'm just suggesting something that is already happening but has the tournament ever been pitched as an "event" and not just several teams in a tournament? What I mean is, realizing that Dentonites would only really care about NT (and that's a stretch given past attendance numbers) has anyone ever put together a package deal for all of the games so that basketball afficionados (sp?) could watch it all from start to finish and follow the progression of all of the teams? I know that I could care less about La-La unless they're playing NT but I might pay one lump sum to watch all of the tournament games and become interested by virtue of seeing it all play out.

Perhaps coach Slinker is thinking along the lines of "shooters can go cold, but inside scoring is high percentage and you're bound to get fouled." Just the same, I used to love how players like NIcole Thomas, Heather Trout and even Rosalyn Reades to a degree could just blow a game open from the arc.

Sorry, should have been on the football board.
