Never cared for Fuline when he was at Rootstown, of course when he was kicking Mogadore's butt everytime we met it got old. Then I liked him even less when he up and went to Jackson, and Rootstown stole our coach to replace him.

Now that his is a good guy, I guess I can forget about all that. Even more so if he brings some Jackson kids to Mount and jump starts whats left of Men's BB at Mount

Fuline??!! REALLY??!! WOW!! while this has to be an upgrade from what we had....this smells of Kehresism!! This was our best applicant?

I guess I'll have to get over my shock and get on the Fuline wagon. This will be interesting. Go Purple Raiders!!

The "talk" is there were some outstanding candidates who applied. I have heard lots of "talk" about what you are referring to.

Please send all the leftovers and alsorans to Westerville. Just because their coach owns the team and the gym and the college, he still has trouble remembering who he should play from one to the next and where his golf cart is supposed to be parked. FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME and the players who deserve someone who can give their all, not someone that keeps hanging onto 2002.

IN HIS OWN WORDS. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?

Do you only know the words to this one song, ste24vie? It's getting a little tiring hearing you sing it over and over again.

For anyone who thought that Lee Hood actually retired...he applied for the Massillon HS job this week.

And for the record, I like the Fuline hire. He's a good coach and he's young. And most importantly, he's driven. I'll take that any day given our current state of affairs.

well I guess I will put this out there since it doesn't seem too be news as of yet. Marietta will have a very interesting ooc game in December. They travel to Athens to play Ohio. This is a real game. Since I am a fan of the Bobcats I have seen it on their site. Guess this is the economics of basketball with schools needing to schedule more home games or games closer to home to cut down costs. I guess the MAC also has a new rule dealing with playing so many home ooc games every year in order to share certain MAC money. Whatever the case good for Marietta. Ohio shouldn't take them lightly as many Ohio fans are.Ohio has a lot of rough spots to iron out and Marietta just could surprise a lot of people. They certainly will play better then expected.

Etta picked 1st, JCU 2nd in the preseason poll. No surprise there. Ott was slotted 3rd. Is that surprising Ott guys?

Mount was 9th. That feels about right. They don't return a ton from a not-so-good team last year. Maybe that's a good thing. Hopefully Fuline got some solid freshmen and can start building something. Also, when the heck does the roster come out? The first game is in less than 2 weeks.

Marietta-Denison game was certainly interesting. Marietta looked rattled and they were on the ropes late. Someone may have been taking the game lightly and looking ahead to a game with a d1 school next month. Marietta is going to have to play better then they did last night.

Surprised me too. See my recap on the NCAC page. Kenyon should probably have won more easily; they fell apart and Musky got red hot at the same moment, as Musky made up a 13-point deficit in the final 3+ minutes to force OT. Muskingum did not look good at all.

Coach Fuline just got his first win with the Purple Raiders - 71-64 over Grove City in overtime.

Dr. Acula · November 28, 2011, 03:34:08 PM

Mount is 3-2 early under Fuline. Their backcourt is not shooting the ball well at all (31% combined for Gillespie and Jacubec). I'm not overly concerned. They're young and I don't think even the staunchest Raider fan is expecting much this year. The only thing that irks me is a freshman guard (Jacubec) has the most FG attempts on the team. I know it's new for everyone under Fuline, but Jimmy Wood is a senior All-OAC player that shoots 50% from the floor. He only has 1 less attempt, but he should have plenty more than anyone else as the only proven college scorer on the team.
