Yes...and no. Moore is a dynamic player who can put up big numbers...but he can also go ice cold and take a team out of it's rythem by forcing bad shots, playing too fast and creating turnovers. Brandon Patterson is a capable bus driver at the point...Mouzy could probably run it as well, but if you're Steve Sheilds you want him off the ball as a catch and shoot guy. Neither junior Lionel Foster or freshman Curtis Jackson have done much...though it looks like Foster may see an expanded role based on his expanded minutes against us Saturday. Scarily enough, this may be addition by subtraction. Moore was probably going to lose his starting spot next season to USF transfer Soloman Bozeman anyway...and if these kinda actions were common place, my bet is that most of the team wanted him gone anyway.

The stat line I've found for him...not sure how up to date it is as this is just through 11 games...has him at 14.1ppg, 4.9rpg, 6.2apg, 47% FG, 22% 3PT (but he doesn't shoot many...4-18), 24 steals...but also 4.1 turnovers per game. He's a risk...but I think he'd be the kinda addition that would make this team better. Josh and Collin's numbers are down this year b/c Ben isn't getting them the ball in rythem and ideal shooting situations.

He's still showing just two offers on rivals...us and Georgia State. Cooley's seen him play...and he dropped a Michael Sturns comparisson...not Sturns game, Brister is an actual point guard...just that he loves the showy pass...he'll put up nice assist numbers, but the turnovers may add up as well

Marcus Brister at 6'3" 210 would help.

Sure...then we'd have three pint sized combos...awesome. Willis is a talented kid...but he wouldn't fix the problem.

Brilliant Disturbing

In reading Vito's blog...it sounds a lot like JJ is content moving forward with Dom as the point guard next season. I really hope this isn't the case...Dom as your starting 1 isn't good for the team and it isn't best for Dom...he's ideal for a sixth man role as a combo guard...bring him in, let him gun, if he's on extend his minutes...if not sit him down and let a real point guard run the team.

Tell me this was made poster sized

Denver up 18 AT Arkansas State...knocking on the door of their first regular season road win since, by my count, Feb. 11th 2006 at Middle Tennessee...they also beat MTSU on March 5th at MTSU in the first round of the SBC tourney.

MG Premium feed has BYU / OSU baseball

Stupid women

x5...for Adam.

Wright Waters would probably be hoping for the play in game...more ESPN coverage

Umm...this might be something to pay attention to...we'll find out if its a fluke, but FIU is getting health and they now have wins, both at home albeit, over the top 2 teams in the conference. Soto, Galindo, Hicks and Aspirilla all played last night, I believe for the first time together this season. Hicks and Aspirilla are both probably the closest thing to true centers this conference has...the combined for 26 and 12 last night. I won't issue a Jub-esque "woo-hoo" but its noteworthy and a team to watch the rest of the way, especially b/c the play MTSU next Thursday in Miami Stop hurting the program with your negativity

Well...they do have 2 losses to Western Kentucky now

Who do you want fired first...Kermit Davis or Wright Waters?

Now...I haven't been to the Fuzzy's in Denton...but the Fuzzy's by TCU is really solid...its no La Superior in Brooklyn...hands down the greatest tacos ever served in an actual building...but Fuzzy knows tacos.

Surely the New York Daily News...with their long standing history of responsible journalism...wouldn't have purposely chosen to do a story on a possible foreclosure on a guy who makes 80K and present him as the norm, rather than a single mother who makes 30K to push an agenda and get a certain segment of society to look at them and say "gee...look at this douche...this guy is like all the other people who are struggling to make their inflated payments or who have already had their homes foreclosed upon...and Obama wants to help this douche? What a socialist!" I've expanded the "simpleton or savant" pole on the VVIP board to include every poster on here...if you have access please go vote and join in the conversation.

Perhaps we ought to chalk that up to semantics...I'm pretty sure "Americans" was meant to imply "Taxpaying Americans." And I think you know that. We must have differing views of "poor means." Both of Obama's parents were college graduates, so was his step-father and grandmother who helped raise him...we may not be talking trust funds, but we're also not talking Marcy Projects. This certainly isn't to denegrate Obama in any way...his story is still quite exceptional...but it is not a fair parallel to equate the upbringing of Obama with the upbringing of many inner-city youths. Hard work can rally only get certain people so far...and often that is not far enough to sustain such a life where you can look to the next generation and truly expect them to be better off than their parents. Well...I'll go ahead and say that the vast majority of people who are poor are not so because they are lazy. Most work very hard and strive for something better than their current status...but their exist so many mitigating factors that prevent those on the bottom rung of society from achieving. I really hope the Cessna statement is tongue in cheek...b/c it really cracked me up and I want not to believe that you support $50 million of taxpayer money going to prop up the struggling luxury personal airplane industry. I agree that there needs to be an end to the bailouts and we rebuild these companies by improving their customers circumstances (bad bank)...but please don't offer the shrug shoulder defense for these banks. We agree that stabilizing the economy should've been managed differently...but to this point it hasn't and to not hold these banks accountable for their massive loans is ridiculous.

We've been implimenting "socialist" policies for the past 100+ years...its a product of the fact that pure, 100%, un-adulterated capitalism doesn't work. If you allow compitition to go completely unbridaled and unchecked you eventually end up with a winner...and once you have a winner you end up with the same end result as pure, 100% un-adulterated socialism...a lack of choice. Its why you cant impliment one system without some aspects of the other. "When you start giving tax cuts to people who don't pay taxes..." - can you explain this statement...how do you cut zero? "When you start taking from those who produce and start giving to those who can't or won't produce, you're engaged in socialism." - To me, this statement only works if you assume equal available resources...that the person "producing" had the same advantages/disadvantages of those not "producing." That just doesn't exist. Our current welfare and unemployment programs are amazingly flawed and need desperate overhaul...but they are vital. Also, if you're equating wealth with production...I'd love to invite you up to New Haven and I'll introduce you to a couple of my Yale acquaintances. "When the government takes over large chunks of the economy, you're watching socialism in action." - The economy (corporations) are begging the government to save them from themselves...when Citi puts up $400 million to pay for CitiField (new Shea), then asks the government for assistance, then buys a $50 million Cessna...I think a bit of oversight is in order. When the banks won't or can't say where their bailout money went...I think a bit of oversight is in order. I certainly don't agree with just printing more money and throwing it into the economy...I'd like the few dollars I still have to actually be worth something. I like the bad bank idea...that way you're actually rebuilding your economy from the ground up...the way it should be done.

So do you also base you treatment of blacks and women on a 231 year old precident? I love how the bible is used to defend bigotry...I always thought Jesus had a keen sense of irony.

Wow...the comments section makes this board seem almost intelligent. I skew considerably further left than most...but the idea that "the probability is definently gaining" on this nation becoming Socialist is inane. Conversly, the idea that Obama is a Socialist because is he is interested in implimenting social programs and has an egalitarian ideal is just as ridiculous. Anybody with any sense of history should realize that our nation is incredibly centrist...and anybody who legitimatly believes that we have anything close to extreme leadership, right or left, is truly just showing their ignorance. Everybody should read Marx. The USSR did a remarkable job of butchering Marxist philosphy...especially since even Marx didn't believe that his principles could work on a large scale because human greed is inherent. This ties into the tired thought that Socialism is the philosophy of the lazy...cooperation does not mean lazy. Marx believed that the majority of people had the ability to work for each other...to measure their success not on the size of their wallets, but the happiness and vitality of their neighbors and community as a whole. He also identified, accuratly, that there were those who couldn't work for such goals...and that for the betterment of society they should be removed; on a small scale, that works, people are removed from the commune and asked to live and thrive elsewhere...on a large scale, you get Stalin. The worst thing you can ever do to a philosopher is to actually impliment his philosophies.

Hmmm...didn't think of that one...my other thought was that you were inviting me over to Ft. Worth to share in such things as described in the previous post.

I see your logic...and I don't really disagree with it, especially with JJ's teams who tend to play to their level of compitition...a good thing when we're on the floor with an OSU. But lets say our bounce-back game after that Houston ass-whipping was Baylor instead of Sam Houston...then New Mexico State...then maybe Texas Tech instead of Houston Baptist...that has the potential to be a pretty big losing streak coming into a conference opening weekend in Louisiana (ULL and UNO)...do you really think that the team feels more prepared and confident heading into those games? Again...this isn't full-frontal blown disagreement. And if the crux of your arguement is that people need to maybe tap the breaks on luading these past 20 win seasons as something that merits at large consideration, I couldn't agree with you more...but this is not a bad schedule...I'd hope for 2, maybe 3 improvements next season...I'd just caution against trying to play nothing but Top 25 teams in the OOC.
