Roy didn't play in the exhibition game against the Mohawk College (Ontario), either.  I have no idea why.

I'm astonished by Mark Carson's stats thus far, even against inferior competition (39 points, 21 rebounds in 2 games).  He's 5-11 from the free throw line this season!  That kind of improvement doesn't come without some hard work. 

It does look like RIT's freshman guards are going to be decent.

Speaking of frosh guards, I think if they allow Cornett to play some good minutes & get comfortable, he will be very solid for Fisher off the bench.

Hey , not all folks who are on a team will be able to have an impact coming off the bench - I merely pointed out that he will actually be able to if they allow him to get used to the college game early on.

lol......took awhile to think of that post huh?? Very creative....YOUR THE MAN!!

Cornett played 24 min, 3rd most on the Fisher team, what do you mean allow him to get the minutes? looks like he IS getting the minutes to get comfortable. lets he gets comfortable soon so we can get more than 4 pts and 4 fouls out of him.

Agree totally......He did not look good at all. After last night i hope the McKeever kid is not the new Adrian Fenyn. He should see more minutes than Cornett. Just because a kid was player of the year in highschool does not necessarily mean he is going to be a great college player. Big, big difference.....I hope Kornacker is more loyal to his seniors than he has been in the past because from what i have seen in the first few scrimmages and last night's game the freshman have a lot of work to do.....

Excellent point - if he played last night that automatically means he'll continue getting the minutes going forward.

Well, can't really argue with your basketball IQ there - I agree, everyone should be judged on how their first college game turns out.

Can we get some gents in here that can talk some basketball without needing these:


Max, Jose, Caz, Pep, Boobs... where art thou? I suppose I'll have to stick to football until you guys meander over.

Oh oh, I want in on the Fisher pissing contest.

1) Eh hem. I think I'm one of the voices of reason in here. I try to keep things on an even plane. Give teams their due when the deserve it, try to keep the over-exuberant Utica fans in check, try to control the Bill Walton of the E8 board (FisherDynasty) where I can.

2) Good to see the RIT fans emerging. TF2, hope you had a nice honeymoon.  Can I contract your brother to perform that Soulja Boy dance at my wedding, too? Bamm, tremendous performance by the fiance at TF2's wedding.

3) Way to rail on the coach who has taken the program to heights never seen before. You sound like...well, Fisher football fans after they lose one game.

4) If you're going to start questioning a man's loyalty, can you at least spell his name correctly on a consistent basis? Just makes you seem like you know little about the program. Well, that's not true, your posts make you seem like you know little about the program. But spelling the head coach's name incorrectly doesn't help your cause.

How about instead of trashing Fisher's rotation, you give some credit to the freshman point guard from Hobart.  He dominated that game.  Fisher made it's runs when he was on the bench and the backup pg (who dribbled the ball one time in his left hand) tried to give him a breather.

Fisher would have won if they hit their free throws....bottom line.  Coach can't put the ball in for them.

They'll be fine after a few games and they get their rotation down.....wouldn't worry too much.

That statement made a lot of sense....Thanks Dad for the correction...I'll try harder next time....Doesn't matter how you spell his name, he has zero loyalty....

Good to see you're going to be this year's "that guy" on the board, whatman. We're glad to have you here. You make us all feel a lot smarter. I stand by my statement that it doesn't seem like you know a lot about the Fisher program. You're acting like one of those guys who came on at the end of last season that were complaining about Kornaker's alleged disparate treatment of Fenyn. Are you one of his buddies? You sure act like one. I'll tell you who Kornaker is loyal to: the players who've helped him win several consecutive E8 Tourneys and regular season titles.

But that's enough divisiveness for today. I hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day. The month between Thanksgiving and Christmas should be a lot more interesting this year now that league play is starting early this season.

wow bill walton? come on he is the worst i cant stand the guy.  I think everything i say is concrete. If you disagree please post a rediculous comment that I have made. 

anyways on too the kornacker bashing, I have to disagree with the loyalty thing.  I am against loyalty to seniors and all of that nonsense. the best players regardless of year should be in the game, senior or fresh.  I agree to get fresh more minutes in the beginning of the year to get them better and more experienced for the end of the year, even if it means sacrificing a little bit.  Fisher will indeed need cornett and ozell to have a good year.  Its my view and probably kornackers that they will need more help at the 2-4 spots than the pg come conference time, therefore, cornett needs the minutes now more than mckeever. Also if you havnt watched fisher since kornacker has been coaching, the rotation and minutes played will vary tremendously every game until a few games into the 2nd semester. Dont get me wrong, Mckeever is going to be very important to Fishers success as well especially him being a senior and having the experience.

It's not anything personal. You're just a big Fisher cheerleader. Nothing wrong with that. As they say in Almost Famous, "what do you expect, he's just a fan!" I don't think anything you say is necessarily "wrong," but sometimes you do go a little overboard with the statements (see loss of Smalt is "devastating").
