Burn!

During. Before the house burned down.

Well, GMG, you too buddy!

I belonged to The Delta Lodge in the early 90's. Does that count?

Who you calling crazy?

My guess is they were probably just messing with you, if of course, it even happened. Darn it, 90, me too.

During games it is probably best that we communicate our feelings in the chatroom. That way it is not etched in stone.

I'm glad the title to this thread was changed. That was the embarrassing part. I apologize for the implied expletives last night.

I don't think you have a motive, you just seem to do it a lot.

Lifer, please consider your source.

I wonder if it will be available to watch on MG premium. The sight shows a link, but goes to an advertisement for it now. I've got my fingers crossed.

Lifer, I don't care what I say, you're a good man!

No, but being a former journalist myself, I know that when you make statements like "top half of the draft" in a feature story, you are expanding the importance in order to enhance the value of your story. It makes for a much better read. Believe me, if he was slated to be taken in the first 5 rounds, the writer would have said that. Don't worry, Lifer, math really hasn't changed that much since you were using the abacus at your first accounting job. I was just reading between the lines. I could be wrong. Maybe, they did offer a gob of money, but the article just says that he passed up on money. Most Rookie league and A baseball players don't make very much money at all. My wife's family lives in Burlington, Iowa, home of the single A Burlington Bees. People from the community give up rooms in their homes to the Bees players for the summer, because their pay is so low.

Don't know why you got a -1 for that. Fixed it for ya.

I think you have read too much into this. The article said that the Rays wanted to select him in the top half of the draft. The MLB draft is 50 rounds. So, basically he would have been picked in the 20-25 round. Guys picked that late don't get the type of money you're talking about.

And beer money

That's true and further illustrates my point that wacky things happening can lead to wins or losses. One thing I think we should remember is that the Creighton game could very well be the most important game since basketball was invented.

This is just confirmation that I'm getting old.

I agree with this whole heartedly. From the look of it we should be very good, but we may not be great. Time will only tell. There are a lot of things that need to happen right, besides talent to be a good basketball team. Witness the USA basketball teams struggling in world competition (Until, this last Olympics). As I posted in another thread, Chris, J-Will, and Tony played in 10 games together last year. They went 7-3 in those games. Three of the wins were against Grambling, Jackson, and UNO. So, against comparable talent they were 4-3. I know we have filled in a lot of key positions and beefed up our depth, but we don't know how it is going to play out. Heck, apparently we are already down one guard before the opening tip.

Well, drop that one.

Gotcha. Oops, that was the minus.

They played together in 10 games. 7-3 record. With wins against UNO, Jackson, and Grambling. Two belt losses and LSU.

Move along..Nothing to see here.
