Since I am the resident Pointer fan here, I guess I'm morally obligated to check up on this:

I started with the 2003-2004 season since both were in the Final Four that year.

03-04' Week 3 Point men #2; Point women #4
03-04' Week 4 Point men #2; Point women #4
03-04' Week 5 Point men #2; Point women #3
03-04' Week 6 Point women #1; Point men #2

04-05' Preseason Point men #1; Point women #4

Wow, I really thought I saw a headline about that, but I guess they only made it to #1 and #2.

You rent, I own. lol.

OK, I'm the resident Pointer fan who didn't play for the team...is that better?

Yeah, I agree. You can't be "fan" and "former player." Usually fandom comes with being a former player. Former Player is higher on the ranking than "fan" anyway. It's like a vice-admiral saying "I'm also a lieutenant commander."

Bill Walton isn't just a UCLA fan, he's a former player.

Does anyone else have the urge to call Point Special "Vice Admiral Point Special" now?

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · March 27, 2006, 12:27:05 PM

I think Lieutenant Commander Special has a nice ring to it, but to each his (or her) own. Seeing as how he is metaphorically both, I assume either would be acceptable.

Is a Vice Admiral one who is in charge of dealing with vice? Or would he be a person, much like our Vice President, who specializes in committing such acts?

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · March 27, 2006, 04:14:59 PM

Well, now we have the real title:

Point Special, Admiral of Vice

Knightstalker · March 27, 2006, 10:44:25 PM

For the last year I have been the Deputy Vice Commander of my VFW post. This year I get to become the Vice Commander. I think I will stay there and never move from that position.

True ... but last night Old School stayed in a Holiday Inn.

It's gonna be a long summer, isn't it?

Yes, but it should be interesting, so long as the Admiral sticks around.

I don't get it... the only thing Holiday Inn reminds me of is "Blast from the Past" ("Dangerous, Poisonous Gas!!!)

John Gleich · March 28, 2006, 05:35:41 PM

I guess I'd be Vice Admiral Special (Ret). Would that make Coach Bennett former President Bennett, and Coach Semling the current president?

The thought that comes to my mind with all of this "rank" talk is the scene in Top Gun where they introduce "Charlie", the civilian contractor... I guess that's what you guys all are, huh?

Ha ha, I don't have to salute you!
