So many jokes with SuperLongwood. We have an RA on the board though.

last year maurice sumter gave us problems. hopefully smitty could lock him up like he did at the home game last year.

[grm]

O.K. Here is the fine line, with no insult meant to anyone, and certainly, the only insult possible would be to the rednecks. Someone on the Board (I'm not going to take the time to review the posts) made the joke about "color" on the court, and I feel confident in interpreting this as a racial reference.
Back in the old days of the NBA when race was still an issue (I believe that the Celtics were the first team to start five Black players) there was a cliche used in reference to how many Black players you could/should have on the floor at once time. It was, "One at home, two on the road, and three if you're behind." It was a statement on two things, not in any particular order: 1) racism within the ticket buying public & 2) The obvious ability of the Black players.

I just read some of the history of this, and yes, I do go back that far.

Just thought you guys would find this halftime score interesting:

Longwood 31
High Point 28

[SuperJon]

High Point wears purple though.

And they don't have me.

[LU'sbestmanager]

you can watch the game live if you go to highpoints site. it is a very boring game

[bigsmooth]

grm...what was the point of your post???

[grm]

No particular point. I was just chipping in on the banter that the other guys brought up regarding the color of the floor, and where the thread evolved from there. If you're looking for something deep, it isn't there. Just a comment on the subject from an old guy reporting on how it used to be once upon a time. Things are better now -- by far.

High Point pulls out a come-from-behind 2-point win.

saturday's game is gonna be close IMO. the lancers always give us fits.

High Point 59, Longwood 57
December 6, 2006

HIGH POINT, N.C. (AP) -- Arizona Reid scored the go-ahead basket with just five seconds remaining as High Point rallied for a 59-57 victory over Longwood on Wednesday night.

High Point (6-3) trailed for most of the second half and overcame a double-digit deficit in the final eight minutes of play. The Panthers' defense held Longwood to a single point for more than seven minutes.

Reid finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Panthers. Mike Jefferson had 16 points and four assists, including the game-winning assist to Reid. Jerald Minnis added 10 points.

Maurice Sumter led the Lancers (3-7) with 18 points and Kirk Williams had 12 points.

Longwood led 31-28 at halftime and went up 41-30 at 14:54 as High Point connected on just one of its first nine shots of the second half.

The Panthers got within three points before the Lancers took a 10-point lead at 56-46 with 7:10 remaining.

High Point's defense took over from that point, limiting Longwood to just one free throw for the remainder of the game.

I think this thread is a good example of not having to much to say that far before the game...8 pages and all I took away from it is we need 3 on the floor at all times, if not we'll be in trouble

[Fumblerooskies]

I can only imagine what the threads are going to look like during exam week.

[whmatthews]

This guy from Longwood's name is Husein.

[SuperJon]

He's starting his own underwear line.

[whmatthews]

He puts his own underwear on after he takes a Ba'ath.

Haha, get it? Ba'ath? Get it?

[A.G.]

Good one, bird brain--but would it be a Turkish Ba'ath?

[grm]

Must give the props - That Was Very Good !

[PAmedic]

please don't encourage them.

its like feeding the bears- seems like a good idea but really only makes things worse.

[A.G.]

You're right, Medic. Sometimes we do tend to "Babble on" with these threads.

[grm]

Gimme back those props! My friends won't let me feed you animals.

[Fumblerooskies]

Husein, coming into the Furnace, may find himself between Iraq and a hard place.
(the best I could come up with at 5:30 in the morning)
