You could see this brewing for several days ahead of the game based on his comments to the Media about a sellout and standing room only. Many Tech fans were turned away at the gate trying to purchase tickets. Pics inside the stadium showed what a liar and scoundrel the guy really was. It wasn't even 2/3 full.Quote:

I was inside. 2/3 is generous.Quote:

NLU is a joke attending games between us.
TCU 74 NSU Demons 68
Mike M.'s team played well tonight, really well, against a 4-0 TCU. Our 14-point win looks a little better.
As for the NLU Chicken Hawks...the more things change, the more they remain that sorry-azz juco!
Thought I would just drop this right here....

Junior's stats look great until you see that he went 0-6 on FT
1-43? What was the 1 win? Give that coach a raise, baby!Quote:

Volleyball (1-22). Coach is some young guy named Charlie Olson, in his second year. He is currently considering a career change to selling used cars.Quote:

I agree agree and agree. I kind of forget about Crawford at times. I think he is still kind of managing his return from injury (even though he had a big game against NWST). His minutes vary a bit. He reminds me of former Laker James Worthy. He is somewhat a quiet and behind the scene kind of player but he makes an impact and is good in all facets. Put a beard on him and let’s see how Worthy he actually looks. He has the Worthy posture and movement down.Quote:

We can add Cobe Williams to the list too as long as he can get a handle on his turnovers. He had few nightmare moments last season against tougher competition, but he has been really good this year. I hope his assist numbers start to trend upward.
A lot to be excited about with Bulldog basketball.
Seemed like it took several games last season before Crawford completely adapted to live action. I don't think it's really a physical thing. The entire game seemed to "slow down" for him at some point and he figured out how to impose his will. He's a cerebral guy who sees more than what's in front him. I think the same thing about Christon but he was never able to get over the psychological threshold to where he could relax and play with confidence.
Imo for this early in the season we haven't looked as solid at this stage since Mike White's 3rd & 4th seasons. I think we have more depth than those teams. The style of play is different.
This team will not go undefeated. So when we lose a game, everybody doesn't need to lose their minds, call for Konkol's head or whatever.
But it sure would be sweet to NOT pick up the first loss of the season this weekend. Would love to tack a tiger skin on the wall!
Need to beat LSU. No excuses.
yes indeedQuote:

I get what you are saying about Crawford being quiet, but he does EVERYTHING well. The only weakness in his game may b the continued recuperation from injury. As far as Junior goes, I am trying not to get overly excited; it is rare for a big to translate his game to D1 quickly. However, he appears to b special. It looks like our staff just money-balled into a gem.
