I am guessing that Santas comment meant that, because Brooks and Collins had been to Austin recently (before Sigler came back) that they would like to experience said trip again.

Congrats Bullets.  Would you say that your success is attributable to  your talent or basketball acumen?

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1179394" timestamp="1329412872"] You can have all the IQ , but don't mean anything if you too scared to use it. It's Nederland, I will grant this exception. ;D [/quote] On the other side of the equation, you can have a lot of talent and if not applied properly, the results are not particularly gratifying.  Of course, if you are scared or intimidated, then the basketball IQ is maybe not what it could/should be

Looks like pretty decent criteria to me.
