MBB: USA South Conference

[CNU85]

I just busted out laughing....very good Narch!!!

[notamensa]

sorry to lead you on a wild goose chase - i can't put my finger on just what it was that i was picking up

i can do some sleuthing now. this da vinci coded post sure does help. the only goose i see anywhere on the usasac board is our own resident mongoose, and this captj fellow is listed as a guest. is that who you think i am? when i get home this weekend ill dig deeper, until we meet again, theres a biohazard song you guys need to look into. its called "mistaken identity".

[CNU85]

or could it be a case of Pink Floyd's "Momentary Lapse of Reason"?

[notamensa]

do you and narch know each other?

'85 and i are just looking for the prodigal son(s)...i have this feeling one is in our midst, but i can't pinpoint exactly where...i've got a vibe, though

the web-footed one probably won't return by edict of his grand poobah, but i have a feeling the other is already among us...could be wrong, though

ok, i have some time this am so ill begin my quest. i love a mystery as much as any history major. from this post i see that youre looking for 2 persons. another post made me think they are goose and captj. you say above that "the web-footed one probably won't return" (goose?), but that the other is already among us (captj?). this is not what i originally thought, which was that goose is rikki tikki tavi and that he was the one you suspected was already among us. that means that you think that i am captj. how am i doing so far? ill go back and read about this captj person and see what i can find. im guessing that there was some animosity since cnu85 and narch seem to have smote me for no apparent reason a few days ago. perhaps at about the time you began to suspect i was this missing captj person. ill be back later with my findings.

I'll add to your mystery.....I didn't "smote" you....and Captj and I are cool with each other and chat at the games during halftime.

ok, ive seen enough. i started at the beginning, skipped to the end, and what i read there makes me sure that i dont want to go any farther. i irritated someone influential on this board a few weeks ago, so im not on the best of standing here, and i would like to continue to be a welcome member of this board. you guys can think what you want, but im not who you think i am. ill continue to dig a little deeper into this issue so that i have a better understanding of the dynamics of usasac posters, but this is the last time ill be posting about your prodigal son.

... from the GSAC board
OK ... I'm tired of talking about what a surprise both LC and MC are. Probably everyone else (with the obvious exception of Coach Haynes  ) is too.

So let's discuss our candidates for all-GSAC. I suggest we break it down by position ... assuming they pick a 1st and 2nd teams, that would be ...

2 - Point Guards
4 - Wing/Combo Guards
4 - Big Guys

At this point, the first 8 are obvious ... seems to me, there is going to be quite a battle for the last two spots. If someone told me to pick my guys, that we had to go play the USA conference in a NBA-like, 7 game series, I'd start with these 8.  And if I were a betting man, I'd feel pretty comfortable putting a few bucks on our guys. 
Ist Team:
PG - Green
Wing - Lawrence
Wing - Maddox
BG - Baldwin
BG - Render

2nd Team:
PG - ? ... Baize maybe?
Wing - Mason
Wing - ? ... at least 4 or 5 guys in the running for this spot
BG - Golden
BG - Hairston

I know ... no MC guys in my first five. Admittedly, that doesn't look right. In my mind, Bobby, then Bo, are strong 6th and 7th choices ... and in a hypothetical 7 game series, they (and Hairston) would certainly get major minutes. But I can't honestly say I'd pick either of them over any of the top 5. Those top 5 are all off to great starts in a wide variety of categories ... certainly in all the categories that are considered important for their respective positions ... and then some! Do you think that 1st 5 could get out and push the pace? Man, they could run some people into the ground!

Perhaps this will start a lively discussion ...   8)

Narch, I thought you might want some of this ...

this is funny.....don't worry about it....just post good stuff about hoops. also don't worry about karma....in fact, I like messing with people's karma......just for fun....but i haven't touched yours - good or bad.....so i must not be one of the influential guys you were talking about...

so you are a welcomed member of this board!

Hey Narch - it may not be captj....but dang if the attitude isn't the same!!  I've been married 21 years and I do undertsand the language of "bitchy"  (did i put enuff smiley faces to indicate a JOKE?)

[PrideFan1986]

hello all, long time no talk!  anyway like narch said the pride are off to a great start this season.  i have only seen them once against guilford, which was a great game by the way.  if a shot had not rimmed out at the buzzer GC would be undefeated right now, but coulda, woulda, shoulda.  anyway, good start for GC so far and i can't wait for the conference season to start.  GC doesn't play a home game until Dec. 21st, does anyone else have to wait that long?  just curious.

GO PRIDE!

I know exactly what you mean. I dont think that there is a team that waits that long for a home game and then the home game is while all of the students are on Christmas break. I know that i am hanging around for that event its going to be interesting to see how things work out for the pride and the Captains

[CNU85]

Dang...by Dec 21st CNU will have played their 6th home game of the season!!!

Hi, this is sludge.  I'm just lurking, but I'll be lurking to a gym near you soon enough.
USA South looks pretty strong.

Wow. And you go to CNU?? Man that's some good edumaction you are gettin thar boy!!

[sludge]

Don't you USASAC people believe in conference games?
Why don't you quit beating up on the poor ODAC and start whomping each other!

mensa - i can assure you that i've never given you negative karma, and that nothing you've said has rubbed me the wrong way...in fact some of the points you've made and the style with which you write reminded me of captj, who is sorely missed for his particular brand of insight - coming from '85 and myself, you should take it as a compliment that we thought you might be captj (and i'm not 100% sure you aren't, although if you are, you're carrying the rouse out pretty thoroughly )

now im totally confused, but lets talk bball. i looked at the cnu schedule over the holidays this year and compared it to last year and i dont see an obvious game at which to introduce mid-season additions. last year we had a game on 12/21, and then saw new players on 1/3. thats about a 2 week period between those games. this year we have games pretty much all through the holidat period with games on 12/16, 20, 21, 29, 30, and 1/6, 10. i guess the likely time would be the 1 week break before games on 12/30 and 1/6. but, obviously, new players can play before classes actually begin, since claxton played on 1/3 last year. if the new players are able to play before they attend classes, might we see them almost immediately? i dont know when new students can register, but ive been registered for some time now, so if registration is the event that makes them eligible, maybe well see them soon.
