Rockin A

HJ won 7-0. Regan Padgett crushed it with four goals.

WOS will win by 3 TDs.  They're just that good.

Stangs are just dang good this year, and I look forward to seeing how far they go this year.

WOS continues dominance of 20-4A!

I looked up and saw their fans scattering as pepper spray and punches were flying.  Simply put, it was unbelievable behavior from folks who are supposed to be adults.

I like to watch a team ,that is matched up even and play good def. and a good half court off. Small School.. But I understand that some like to watch a Team run up and down with dunks and alleys with very little def. 4 and 5a.... [/quote]I like any team with skillful and quick guards who can score against those big guys. Which is why I have always admired guys like Isaiah Thomas, Allen Iverson, Nate Archibald, and Ernie DiGregorio. They defied the odds. [/quote] Don't forget Steve Nash, Tony Parker, Joe Dumars & John Stockman.

Doug Prewitt comes from a family of classy people.  I've know him and his family for over 12 yrs, and I'd expect nothing less than a class act from Doug.  What an example for others to emulate.  I, too, was a little shocked to hear he was trying to walk-on initially, but then it all made sense.  Here's a smaller than average D1 football player who's overachieving.  He's always been that way.  Lamar's coaching staff was lucky to have been around somebody of Doug's caliber, and the team will benefit from him continuing to stay in the program in a different capacity.  Ever notice who mops up the sweat at LU's basketball games?...Doug.  And he does it with a smile.  What a great young man!  He'll do anything for the benefit of the team, his university, or those around him.  I wish him continued success, and I expect we'll hear even greater things from his achievements. 

Huh?  Ya, 1989...actually 23 yrs ago.  Your point?

I'm confident that in 1989, the 3A state champs, who I think went 36-0, could have whooped up on more than a few 5A teams.  They had a center named Shaquille O'Neal.  I think they went 35-1 his junior year when they were still in 2A.  Either way, when he played, there was basically one play...throw it high into the middle and let the big guy do this thing.  Seemed to work.   

Lazeek, I'd hate to get on your bad side.

The article suggested the possibility of changing sites for the UIL basketball championships after the 2013 season.  I sure hope that doesn't happen.  Going to Austin the few times that I have gone was always a treat.  I guess money talks, so if they change sites, then they will go where they can get the most money.  Alamo Dome perhaps?

Question #1:  If a FORMER assistant knows everything there is to know about basketball, then would one infer that CURRENT assistants know more or less about basketball? Question #2:  Since Jerry West is the NBA logo, yet other players actually deserved to be the logo more than West, how many conspiracy theories does that make in someone's world?

I agree.  The anticipation is already intensifying.  Go Big Red !!

To the former assistant coach:  As stated earlier, I'd take Bird over Magic because he was a quiet, consistent leader.  I prefer a quiet, business-as-usual leader, not the flashy type that Magic was.  Magic's made-up name indicates what he thought of himself.  I appreciated what Magic brought to the court, but I preferred Bird's offerings more.  That's my opinion.  Why you discount so many opinions on here is beyond me.  I don't remember anybody doing that to you.  Suggesting race has anything to do with this discussion is simply silly, yet clearly representative of your motives. Sheesh

DV, I must apologize.  I thought there was nobody more hard-headed than you. 

somebody, please make this poster stop

some things just aren't right, and I'm not referring to TABC All-State team.

Bird, all day long !!

Majic or Magic? Magic & Bird are about as equal as two stars can be.  I'll admit I'm biased, and as such, Bird would be the focus of my team.  I'd take a quiet leader over a flashy one any day.  P.S.  Who is this "Majic" the former assistant coach keeps referring to?

Since the former assistant coach said it, Nash, I guess it must be true. 

I'm over it now.  I'm thrilled that LU basketball is back on the right track!

No doubt, Vermont played a better game.  Well-disciplined and solid team play, like the Princeton teams of old.  UNC will have their hands full.  Anybody can be beat on any given night.

I hope planning a reunion w/Roc was worth it.  I'm still mad about all of the self-induced distractions.

"Another fact:  LU players interviewed on Sunday said they're [b]confident[/b] about beating Vermont and are 'ready to face North Carolina'.  I know these are unchartered waters for LU's players, but I hope they're not [b]overly confident[/b] to the point of not even showing up Wednesday night." I'm not happy, but it was pretty obvious everybody overlooked lil bitty Vermont.

Crusty 'ol man does have feelings after all.  You don't have to agree with his ways, but he's definitely passionate about basketball.  Nice moment.  Way to go, Coaches Bobby & Pat Knight!
