Exactly! ;) ;D ;D [/quote] If I was in the room with LeBron, Kobe, MJ, Bird, Magic, Auberbach, Jackson, Krzyzewski, I wouldnt have to ask who it is.  Pretty sure you are not yet in that crowd.

Dicky V and Da Dove are both troubled by the prospect of Nederland getting possibly one player but they find it totally acceptable for Yates and Triple A to get 7 or 8.

I dont know who Mr. Toon is but I would be willing to bet that he is coming to Nederland on his own volition.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1388712" timestamp="1364242356"] Just when you think Nederland is about to go under for the final count, the rumors start to swirl about new player (s) coming to resuscitate their dying program and probably give Central a "run for their money" next season.  ;D [/quote] Could you be more specific Dove or did you just decide to establish a rumor of your own this afternoon? Do you think they will have 40 transfer applicants like they did at Yates?  If so, why are you not troubled about Yates but are troubled about Nederland?

He doesnt think its fair.  He knows the real story.  But its too late for him to back up now and change course. 

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1387516" timestamp="1363895764"] C'mon guys! Keep trying-  I love it!!!! Again, my main point is this: I don't see any major differences between Mumford and AAA. So, I guess the "Old Coach" knew what he was talking about. [i]The kettle calling the pot black.[/i] [/quote] Mumford didnt have an AAU coach as its "athletic director" before "firing" the head coach so as to allow the AAU coach/athletic director back to the head coaching job while retaining the "fired" head coach as an assistant.  The "pot" is about as corrupt as can be regardless of color.  The only thing more sad Dove, is that you fully understand what has happened and are still trying to make it appear legit.  The "uninformed" crowd pretty knowledgable.  Let me know when somebody besides Dicky thinks your contentions have even a whiff of credibility.
