Wh...Nah you are not gonna get me that easy man! Seriously though you and BT need to get down here. We are gonna have a blast. Also I heard shooby was coming (inside joke).

[stoppinby]

Good to see u on ur toes, DOnt count me out yet, Im am still going to try to make it happen. I would love to make it, Just trying to work it out on this end. I may be visiting Fatleg on the 14th. . Its still up in the air with BT. HE is a fruitcake!! If I do make it down I would like the minutes I play in the game to be added to the record book which would double my Minutes Played Stat.

[TIMSCAR20]

We can count your points in the layup line too Hopefully if you get down to see Fat Leg in Lexington, that you can drag him over to Lynchburg on Friday night as well. I am gonna put BT down as a maybe along with you and Leg.

[stoppinby]

anything to pad my stats Ill take it, I saw fatleg yesterday and he showed me some pictures of his newborn son. This kid can dribble and from what I hear he can "light it up". Just like his father!!!

I wanted to make this a little easier to read. I will def have to make some changes smoothie if I see it is lop sided. Hard to tell who will be in "game shape". BTW Smoothie, Sly wants documentation of this game so I couldn't think of a better person to use my digital camera than you since you usually have an all access pass in the Vines (LOL). I know Jamie Hall will probably be taking pix too.

[TIMSCAR20]

I forgot I added Juice at the last minute. Before I knew he was coming the teams seemed more even. I will have to re-think this. Like I said, I will be open to trades during registration.

[LU'sbestmanager]

your team is stacked scar!

[TIMSCAR20]

How would you know Manger? You were in diapers when most of these guys played. I will change the rosters on Friday. I wrote this out without even thinking about 2 weeks ago. I will stack one team against Julius because he will be unstoppable. Maybe let 2 guys pick teams where the 2nd guy gets the next 4 picks after the 1st guy picks Juice. It would be fun to see all of us in our prime but that ain't happen'n. I have not done my part that is for sure! I may play 5-10 minutes. That is about all I have left in the tank. Can't decide if I want to wear white or red. Can't wait til the weekend though.

What? No Rashad Robinson?

[WinthropEagleFan]

I keep waiting to see CJ Cowgill's name on the list...

[TIMSCAR20]

WEF, We tried to get guys that at least played 2 years at LU so Rashad didn't qualify. This group that is showing up is notably short of Mel Hankinson's years due to the fact that he shut me out of the program during his tenure so I don't really know most of those guys personally. I know Caldwell, Sneed, Ward and a couple of others but not many. To be truthful this game is gonna be filled with folks that I personally have kept up with. Our athletic and alumni depts are trying to play catchup as far as getting in contact with folks but I am pleased with the response we got from the guys that I was able to keep up with. The Internet helps too with trying to catch up with people. I have 4 days to get in shape. I need to do 2 a days for the rest of the week

[TDDance234]

heh, total sarcasim on the Rashad comment.

Unless of course you needed someone to brick layups.

[LU'sbestmanager]

How would you know Manger? You were in diapers when most of these guys played. .

i love me some LU football and bball.. if it's LU, i know. some of the guys call me stat man because of the way i can remember everyones stats. lol.

[TIMSCAR20]

Yes WEF I somehow knew you weren't really wanting to see Robinson

[tshirtman]

I think this is a great thing. I believe the matchup of teams is not to bad. The only problem is Julius has no real matchup call D HAll or Jason Dixon. JC is the only one who could post him up but they are on the same team. Put NAZ on the other team. Trade JC for Ed gomes
See you this weekend your jerseys are in. What size did you want also what # on the football jersey.
Starting Fives

White team
Will win by 25

[TIMSCAR20]

Man the White team starters would get murdered in the post. I don't think you remember how strong Juice really is. It is gonna take Louvon and Kenneth Annabonam to guard him and he will still get 30 or more if he wants to. I am gonna mix it up for sure. I will think about it today and tomorrow and come up with final rosters soon....For my football Jersey I will take #20. That is of course my hoops number. XXL or even XXXL if you have it. I like a big jersey. I will stop in on Friday to pick it up.

[Sly Fox]

There is no way you can't at least start Bailey. Simply out of respect, you have to give him the honor.

[TDDance234]

This may have been covered in one of the seven previous pages but why wasn't Leo Lightbourne invited?

[tshirtman]

I don't think you remember how strong Juice really is

Are you for real I was the one hitting him with the pads in practice. I think the rooster need changing.

[TIMSCAR20]

No you should remember how strong he is. I think Kenneth Annabonam can handle him along with Sneed....As far as Leo is concerned, I would love for him to come back and play but I think he is over seas hoopin. I know GMart and others are out of the country. I am trying to talk Woodson into coming since he is not leaving until next week.
