MBB: St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[allamericanredhead]

2002 8-2 at break.  Three new starters come in who all played with only three practices under their belt the first game back in January. That pissed off a lot of kids who did not come back the next year and started a long slide at FC. And that Dennis, is fact. There are some who will disagree with me and have no problem with that type of mercenary approach. I just don't think it belongs in D III basketball. Come on Dennis, Lee did that every year, bring in fresh recruits at semester break. And maybe that is ok. I will admit you always showed a great deal of loyalty. Did you ever coach somewhere that Lee was not the head coach? I admire that because I am sure you had many offers but chose to stay loyal.

Christmas comes early to the SLIAC!!!

Webster over Trinity Baptist (Trinity with 3 techs??!!)

MacMurray beats host Rhodes  --Brent Long 8 for 10 from the field, 10 for 10 from the line....They'll play Maryville Tenn. tomorrow... a quick jaunt down to Memphis for hopefan?

Blackburn beats Rose-Hulman... 4 in double figures... BC goes 20 for 24 from the line to win it.....

The Mac and BC wins vs D3 opponents could help lift the SLIAC out of 44th (last) place in terms of how conferences fare against other D3 non-conference teams.

Sorry Sir. '01-'02 that was during the King, Fisher, Tillit, Thomas, Grasle, Nagel... Were all Juniors who had played together the year before. And, all those named played their Sr years and all graduated. That covers '01-'02 and '02- '03.

So that is not a fact. Actually it's a flat Lie.

That's the best you got, Bud?

[allamericanredhead]

Maybe 02-03? It was the year after King graduated. It was the Roberts kid's JR year, I believe. Denny just quit with all the defensiveness. I quit posting on here for a long time because no one can say anything even close to a difference of opinion of yours that you don't fly off the handle and swear you are never posting on here again. Then in a few months you are back. A lot of people didn't agree with a lot of things that went on at FC. The mid term transfers happened year after year. The Christmas trips that you swore never cost the kids a dime is a complete lie. The last one was to Hawaii and I know it costs the kids $2200 each and that last year three starters didn't even go. Then when they got over there they didn't even have a game, scrimmaged a Marine intermural team. That was the end of the trips. Maybe the trips were a good deal, but to say "no kid ever paid a dime" like you have is a complete lie. Maybe you never paid a dime. Just tell the truth but really at this point does it really matter?

[Denny McKinney]

Let's see. Year after King was '03-'04. Started the year 7-4. Not 8-2. Yes, Kevin Roberts (SEMO) and Josh Helbig ( Cal- Fullerton) team went 16-9. Kevin was a Sr. Went back to SEMO as a Grad asst. Josh was a Jr. came back Sr. Did not play but did graduate. And, I can't figure who that was starting that

The next year starts the Fogerty, McCoy, Storandt and Fournie four year run.

[y_jack_lok]

Denny and AAR, I really wish you guys would take your argument private.

hopefan, go see the Civil Rights Museum while you are in Memphis. There's a great BBQ place right across the street.

[Denny McKinney]

You got it Yjak. I'm done with it. My Bad!

[allamericanredhead]

Dennis there was not game with Chamanade. If you back and read on this board you give a long explanation of how it was all Chamande's fault

I am not dancing on anyone's grave. You take offense with anyone who does not fall into lockstep with your view. You puffed up this week when someone before me mentioned a Christmas trip. So I threw you the bait an as always you swallowed hook line and sinker.

I am done with this and am going to in the future read the good insights that are on here, maybe post every once in a while  and do what everyone else in the St. Louis basketball circle's do, ignore you.

[Denny McKinney]

No Worries, Red. I have nothing to offer StL basketball circles. Happy Holidays, Sir.
