Sure feels good to get some wins and move up in the standings. Also, I, for one, am appreciative of the character of some of those FlameFans who are not drinkers, giving credit where credit may be due.

Thank you.

I really enjoy the streaming, and SCAR.

Can anyone tell why the h Brew is not starting. It can't be some lame chemistry excuse. There is no way that Hubbard should start over Brew. Look at Brew's shooting %. Take the ball out of Blair's hand and put it in Brew's. Yeah Larry is going to give you 15-20 every night, but at the expense of 15-20 shots.

The CSU game is great for me.......Although being a full-time student, I work 40 hours a week for the school and a waiter on Friday and Saturday nights.......I will finally get to see another home game :D

Brew takes high % shots, true. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find anybody else who wants to see Larry less.

Glad you got a chance to watch Rev...It is surreal to get instant feedback from a live telecast but SJ and TBGBG were teasing me about one of my one liners the second the game was over. Also Anthony Smith's mom told me thanks for the shout out! Nice to know folks are actually listening and watching....Can't wait for HPU on Sat night!

Chemistry is not a lame reason. Brew, LB and Smitty all kind of do the same thing. Do you want 5 point guards or 5 posts out there? No. Also Brew tends to turn the ball over (second on the team despite missing 9 games) and works well operating away from the ball. 3rd, having a player like Brew come off the bench is a great luxury. You get instant offense and energy. 4th, starting is way over rated. It's nice to have your name called but that is about it. As long as I got my 25-30 minutes I didn't care if I started or not really. Brew has done a great job coming off the bench and is shooting close to 60% from the field which is outstanding for anyone but amazing from the guard position.

Second, after watching the Winthrop game and the HPU game, along with some people who were at the CSU game, I seriously, 100% thought that Coach had lost this team. Since then, I've gotten some reports from practice that show he was bringing the reigns back in, and it shows. The past two games the team has played hard, they've actually looked like they were paying attention to what Coach has said, and we've won by double digits. I give Coach a ton of credit for being able to set it straight.
WELL :shock:

Did anybody see the girl at halftime last night? I heard she almost won a car.

She was pretty dang close. At least she made it to the halfcourt shot. I haven't seen anyone else come that close, yet. She wasn't real far off from the half court heave, either.

Her halfcourt attempt was one of those behind the ear baseball tosses, which are seldom accurate; if she had the upper body strength, she should have tried one of those hoster shots from the hip.

The girl was so tired from celebrating about making the three that she was out of breath for the half court shot

I told you, I give credit where it's due. I may be critical but unlike some people, I give credit where it is deserved.

that you do...I am so sick of these people on here that just hate Dunton and no matter if we are winning or not it all comes back to the topic of getting rid of him...I have said all along we need to wait til the end of the season..I was frustrated, but we do have to wait til the season is over before we decide the fate of our coach..I don't know if we have turned the corner or not yet, but it looks as if Coach D is getting through to these guys again, and that is important...

The halftime girl did make the layup, the foul shot, and the 3...and the half-court wasn't very far off.

I think she made the right decision to go with the overhand heave...she wasn't very big, she couldn't have gotten it then by shooting from the hip.

Talking about contests...when they had the free throw contest during the VMI game...there was one guy that went 11 for 11 from the line.

He's not even a student here. He's friends with TBGBG and is coming in the fall.

Haha...that was my sister!! I wanted to see if what she was telling me was actually true. Needless to say, I'm a proud big brother. She said she was the only one so far to even make the 3 pointer. When she told me she came up about 6 inches short (At least that's what she says...haha), I couldn't believe that she'd thrown it that far.

I was there...everybody saw her and didn't give her much chance of making the free throw...but she did, so things stirred some...then she made the three pointer, and the folks were really getting into it because it looked like they might give away a car, and you could hear the groaning when that halfcourt shot just missed. I'm wondering what will happen at the High Point game on Saturday.
