There it is!  Thanks.  No drain bamage after all, just poor eyesight. 

Maybe I have drain bamage but I don't see a way to open my inbox for PMs.

Congrats to the Captains.

Wouldn't that photo of Trey Barber on the front page of D3Hoops make a good Fathead!

Way ahead of you, Ralph.  It's been my desktop background since an hour or so after it went up.  Great photo.  Well done Steve Frommell!

Anderson likely has one year left, if he wants it.  The other three, I believe, have done five.

I read on the CNU site that Anderson, Parrish and Latta have indicated they will return next year.  We'll see if they actually do.  Job and life opportunities could change that intention.  Losing Brodie and Graves will be tough. 

Congratulations to the Captains!  National Champions!  OMG, what a game.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack.  What an amazing team this has been.  Coach K has put together a team for the ages.  Even though I've been inactive on this board for a decade and haven't been to the Freeman Center in even longer than that, there is no way I was going to miss the opportunity to congratulate this amazing team.  I've been watching from (literally) the other side of the world and have seen just about every game online, and I couldn't be prouder.  Talent and selflessness are an amazing combination, and this team has that.  The future looks very bright for them.  They lose a couple of MAJOR contributors but some very bright stars will be back, and young players who started the season searching for their sea legs have developed into solid contributors and are more than capable of filling the void.  I can't wait to see what they do when Coach K turns them loose next year.  Speaking of Coach K, I will close with a very, very heartfelt plea to the coach.  COME BACK!  There is still more to do here.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

CNU just announced the C. J. Woollum died today.

I have been OOC for a long time now.  Maybe it is because I've moved away from the 757, maybe it is because CNU is not the power on the national level that it was when CJ Woollum was bringing national level talent (and providing national level coaching) to Newport News.  I called for his retirement a few years ago.  Maybe I was right, maybe not.  But one thing I know for certain is that CNU basketball and CNU athletics owes an immeasurable debt to CJ Woollum.  Man, it breaks my heart that we have lost Coach Woollum. I've been lurking on this site and my greatest wish is that the current team recognizes the contribution that a coach that they might never have known made the CNU athletic program what it is today.  Even if they never met him, their place at CNU was made possible because of Coach Woollum.   Recognize the significance, Captains!  Let the legacy of Coach Woollum inspire you to play at the level that he would have drawn from you if you had been priveleged to play for him.  Go Captains!!

Greetings and salutations USA South fans...guess who's back!?! LOL Nice to see some of the old familiar faces along with some new ones. Hope all is doing well and had a great holiday. I look forward to reading and hearing about how everyone (oh and their respective squads) has been doing.

This board ain't what it used to be, Goose.  Welcome back, anyway.

Yeah I know CaptJ...Ive checked in as a watcher and read some posts over the past couple years. Maybe we can add that flare the board once had back into it!

Not gonna happen unless a LOT of the old guys come back.  SU97, Gullet, hoopshops, obnoxioussufan, Britney, eyesoar, cnufan, sushotblocker, ballgame, Swish3, pride1fan, Leroy, notamensa, PSBBGuy, Rikki Tikki Tavy, averetthoops, kickerdad, cnufella, showstopper, and VaSlim22 have all disappeared.  I would add Monarch96 to this list but I think he was actually an alter ego of narch.  roundball too, who I think was actually CNU85's alter ego.  All CNU85 does these days is post news releases about CNU without offering any original thoughts.  I think he is too distracted by his personal trainer.  Narch has totally lost interest now that his team SUCKS, but I'm sure he will say that he's too busy with grad school.  Hell, even that CaptJ guy is posting like he's living on an island in SE Asia.  Even Pat won't post on our board any more.  I asked him 2 times earlier this year if Taylor was nominated to the TOW and he wouldn't answer.  Maybe he no longer watches our board like a hawk like he used to.  Too boring, I guess. 

OK... there's MY flare at the board.

If Conley Taylor doesn't make Team of the Week there should be an investigation.  In 2 games he scored 72 points on 61.3% shooting and cleared 12 rebounds.  He scored most of his points in the second half of each game when CNU was coming back from a huge deficit each time.  He pulled it off in the Lynchburg game as the Captains came from 12 points down with a little over 4 minutes to play to win by 5 in ovettime.  He would have also done the same in the Frostburg game but the Bobcats were just too tough down the stretch (hitting their last 15 free throws of the game without a miss).  CNU was down by 21 early in the second half and cut the margin to 2 points, mostly on Taylor's back.  A great pair of performances by Conley Taylor.

Who is this Paul Meredith?

He might be the heir apparent at PG, although both he and Hector started tonight.  Seems to have game.  Maybe he was injured to start the year.

Someone explain this to me.  Coach K went with a small lineup most of the game so it is understandable we would be out-rebounded.  But how is it that Mike Green and Brian Herrmann (both 6'-5") combine for 3 total rebounds and Tra Benefield (6-2) gets 9, Conley Taylor (6-2) gets 8, and Paul Meredith (5-10) gets 8?  Long bounces off the rim? 

Taylor was a beast again:  8-14 fg,  12-13 ft,  8 reb, 28 tp

Well, I listened to the entire game by webcast, right up to the last few minutes in OT when the broadcast simply STOPPED!  At the time CNU was down by 2 but I guess I missed a great finish by the Captains to pull out the road win.  I suspect that FT got so excited that he kicked out a plug somewhere.  Talk about frustrating!

GREAT WIN, CAPTAINS!!

Hoops2010; you seem a bit sympathetic to the plight of the big guys on the roster.   Who are you?  Are you on the team? 

Hmmmm.... maybe I was right.  We haven't heard from him since Nov. 25.  Geez, I'm sorry I scared him off.  He made some really insightful posts.  Actually, I think that he is NOT someone on the team THIS year.  Come back, Mark!

GO CAPTAINS!

USASouth new tournament format thoughts?

The USASAC continues to slip into obscurity and insignificance.  They have basically thrown out the idea of having a structured tournament and have made it a playoff.  It shouldn't even be called a tournament anymore.  What is the next step, to do away with any post season games at all and just declare a regular season winner?  I guess that would be cheaper and a lot less effort. 

I think it sucks.
