Did you play in the Alumni game???  How many did you have?? I envision something like 44pts, 11boards, & 7dimes.  Maybe you didn't play.  The Alumni did lose.  I will be at the game on Friday PM.  I hope that the atmosphere has improved from my expensive tenure at the University.

Like you I would guess, I haven't seen all of them play, and since this is the NWC board and I am clearly a Logger fan I see no surprise in my pulling for McVey.

I don't think it is fair to give any award based on your favorite team...otherwise Isaiah Stanback would win the Heisman and Manase Hopoi would win the Outland Trophy.  I also like Sonny Shackelford to win the Biletnikoff and Ty Willingham to win the Coach of the Year. 

There are many good players in DIII hoops...but a preseason award is not as valuable as any post-season honor.  Preseason polls mean nothing.  Look at Penn State in the Big 10.  Receiving a preseason award means that someone expects you to be good...but let's save the complaining for the end of the year...after the season.  It is nice to receive recognition; however, expectations tend to lead to disappointment.  I know Zack Mcvey is a dominant post player; but, I think an equal complaint could could be made for overlooking Chase Curtiss.  He is a phenominal competitor and a fantastic leader.  He plays under control yet with an intense fire.  The Loggers succeed because he is an amazing person on the court and in the locker room.  They are both fun to watch...and Zack has put in some serious time in the weight room.  Let those two play...and they will receive the awards based on their performance and not their hype.  All players should.

does anyone know why McVey didn't play?

I was told that he hadn't been feeling well last week.

Just wanted to give you all the link.

Big Dave??? The legend ???Wow.  Is that you??

I am surprised that I get such excellent billing.  Whatever you want to call me...I am cool.  I was curious what the word is with Cross?  My football team (that I am coaching) is 6-2 and making a run at the league title.  We'll see what we can do.  I am running the defense...and we are really starting to play well.  Just wanted to say hello...and find out the outlook on the Loggers.

I was curious if you knew where Jeremy Cross was?  He isn't on their roster...and I thought he was one of their best players.
