My frustration is what is the name of the parasite and where and how did he get it.

Of course, the newspaper reporter either didn't ask or HIPAA prohibitions prevented it.
It must be the MD in you

A couple of the games on the MC schedule i posted earlier were wrong. Go to www.gochoctaws.com to get the correct one.

UMHB hosting Cru Holiday Classic Dec. 29/30. UMHB, HSU, Ripon and defending D3 Champs Virginia Wesleyan will participate. Great to see ASC teams playing highly rated competition.

The Choctaws should have the best team they have ever had this year. With Collins, Eugene, Broomfield, Jones, Winford, and Hudson returning they have the leadership and players they need to win. But like always they bring in alot of players. There is like 7 juco transfers coming in. Also 1 from Miss Valley and West Alabama, and a 6'4 guard from Oak Hill Academy. This might be their year....

McM finally has their schedule posted on their website. Looks like they're taking on Div I Sam Houston State this year. 8)

This chat room sure has been quiet lately. How is everybody looking? Teams should be in full swing of preseason by now. Who is gonna win the west? Is there gonna be any surprises in the east?

I see that Travis Tennison has landed on the roster at Incarnate Word.

I have no substantiation of his scholarship status, but I do know that he was welcome at McMurry anytime that he wanted to resume his education.

I hope he parlayed McMurry's interest into a good economic package!

Good luck, Travis. My prayers are with you and your family, always!

Hopefully the ASC will start posting press releases on our site again. That would've been good to have a week ago.

Has anybody heard anything about UTD this year? I'm pretty sure they have a bunch of new guys.

Charge taker, you asked the same question in fall of 2005 and then did not contribute anything else for the rest of the season. $:-\$

UT-D has a good web page, but because their games are not broadcasted, we sometimes have delays in getting good info.

I encourage you to post this season: facts, game reports, eyewitness accounts and anything else that you know this board likes to read, both here and on the women's board.

Have a good season and we look forward to your future reports on the Comets and their opponents!

I was playing for UTD last year and then I got hurt and kind of lost contact with Coach Butterfield. I transfered schools this semester and I havent seen the guys play. I only know for sure that Travis Carruthers, Martin Salinas, and Ernest Lowery are back. I would think Tyrone Hurt will be back and hopefully Chris Riley who didn't play last year because of a shoulder injury will suit up for the comets. The most talented player for UTD is Mike Mckey he didn't get much PT last year, but he could be a major player in the conference if Coach lets him do what he is capable of.

Ralph, you have an amazing memory. The Choctaws should be better in the half court game this year (have to be to get past sweet 16) with Coach Jones back. His teams from the past were really good in thier half court offense and half court defense. Could they possibly improve on 29-2?

Kid, part of my compaints about Miss Coll in the post-season is that they rarely give anyone any trouble!

I thought that they did not play as aggressively as they should have. I thought that the Chocs #8-#12 players were more athletic than Transylvania's and the Transy players did not even crack a sweat. There was not back court pressure on Transy!

Do you remember the MC-McM battles in the early part of the decade? Those teams left it all on the court. From the video feed that I saw from the Sweet 16, MC did not challenge Transy's game, style or endurance. IMHO, the Chocs played right into the Transy style of play.

Again, IMHO, I think that the best chance for an ASC team is to play like the 2000 and 2001 McMurry teams and the 2004 Sul Ross team. We just don't match up well with half-court play!

If Coach Jones can get to the Elite 8 playing the slowdown half court style then I will be the first to acknowledge his success, and probably the first to announce that he has done it on this message board.
