Did anyone hear about the Bates alumni bball game this past weekend? I've received word through the grapevine that those alumni really gave bates a run for their money. a real nail biter i heard. a barn-burner, if you will. another thing i heard about the game was that there was a whole lot of straight hair flowing about. anyone else notice that?

 

First of all, Red, you took the words right out of my mouth. Second of all, anyone who denies coach murphy's work ethic is a fool...last year he won nescac coach of the year in both soccer and basketball, he must be doing something right. and stephanie may be a hard working coach, ill give you that, but she does still wear a sweater with a polar bear on it.

"Murph better be careful, he may have bitten off more than he can chew...unless he thinks he has a contender, as well."


Well, obviously he thinks he has a contender, why wouldn't he? As with any great coach, he always believes his teams are contenders, and this year he has as much reason to believe as ever. And as far as biting off more than he can chew, the tough schedule will do nothing but good for bates in the long run, and i believe they will handle it superbly in the short run anyways. duck soup, chicken dinner.

let's go people. nov. 1 is just around the corner. who's ready to start it up?
