That's almost too much math for me. Can someone confirm their record? I've got 1-15. This may be the game where Newton plays more than 4 minutes. :pray

Who knew you had math skills as well? 1-15 is correct.

Is it wrong to think this could be 100-50?

WOW - This might be the worst team we have ever played.... Do they just cherry pick 3 guys and not even try to play defense? Though I believe we will win - these are games that can make you look bad at the same time. They throw up a lot of shots and if they are hitting and we are not - watch out - becomes a close game and then get team doubting themselves. I still think we win 115-47. :)

I do hope Newton gets to play half this game.

There defense is obviously horrible, but overall, they´re bad, but not quite THAT bad. The Taccoa Falls team we played last year makes these guys look like the Golden State Warriors. They have obviously been playing a schedule designed to fund the program. Record is horrible, but staying within 21 against Georgetown tells me they may be a little better than 1-15 would indicate.

It was. I may revise my evaluation, but I will believe they are as bad as Taccoa Falls when I see it.

Yes. Former Flames football coach Tom Dowling was also an alum.

Their defense reminds me of "another defense",

if you know what I mean.

Ballcoach, now that Coach Freeze is on board, I don't think you will ever see That Defense again. :nono

Scottie not in the starting lineup. I suspect he may have volunteered to sit this one like Kemrite did last year against Taccoa Falls. I certainly haven´t heard anything about an injury.

Correction. Contrary to the pre-game live stats, it is Cabbell sitting out, with Homesly starting.

Every year I come to a game. Every year McKracken is at the game. Every year I am reminded why I quit coming to games the rest of the season.

Do as I do at softball games to block out music,

Wear head phones. People think I'm listening to game on headset radios.

In addition to Cabbell sitting out in street clothes, we have not used Newton tonight. Showing mercy.

Newton should be getting more minutes, most every game.

Well, when Brendan finally got in in the second half, he stuffed the stat sheet. 8 points, 6 boards, an assist, a steal and a block in just 9 minutes. He also took (and missed) a 3!

I certainly love his passion but I completely agree. Even watching games on tv is a task when he is around.

I thought he graduated!

Graduated a few years ago and probably working on master's degree. I know at one point he was in the aviation program. He lives for this. At EVERY home and away game, men's and women's. Wouldn't surprise me to hear him in th background when we play UCLA. Someone needs to get him a woman Play Basketball
