What about Germany...............

Very cool.

But having never taken German, I can't figure out how to pronounce 'SpVgg'

How would you feel if you were the guy behind #5 in the team photo??
Can they not take more than one photo, seriously...

Also, do you think the photographer said, "Everyone hands behind your back, except you #12.  You fold your hands across your chest and wear weird shorts"

Scrubby flakes-I'm your GD elder, so some respect would be appreciated. Keep hiding behind mommy's skirt and daddy's check book. David Jr makes the team better-it's about time you admitted that.

Kill them with kindness.

All that was needed to be said about the Conference Championship game has been said. Could we move on to the NCAA Tournament now ??

You mean the NCAA tournament Lawrence has been to 5 of the last 6 years and Grinnell has been to none of the last 6 years 

Sorry...I couldn't resist.

Its gonna be a tough game for LU.  Is it possible, yes, but they are going to have to play amazingly both offensively and defensively.  Applegren and Kaddison are going to have to guard Wallis tight, and Page and Dekker are going to have to stay out of foul trouble and guard Thompson and Nading like glue. 

If LU gets in foul trouble, they are cooked.  Their second line of big men can;t stay with Thompson and Nading, but I think Page and Dekker can at least get them a little off their game.

Also LU has to shoot minimum 85% from the stripe.  Any less and they will lose.

Kroeger needs to play like the MWC POY...if he doesn't...they lose.

Like I said it will be tough, but it can be done.

Certainly!  First of all, how the hell can you have a state and a city named Washington and I hear the freakin' school isn't in either one of those places!  Losers!  Name your school after some other dead president! ("Reagan University" recently became an option.) Second, have the Bares have any recent success?  I'm sure they're no match for the rich basketball tradition of LU.  Really, the only queston is how badly LU will beat them down.  I say that Jojo puts in the 3rd string at halftime to keep the margin under 50.

As always, you are right and all knowing.......I should let the comments go, but cannot.

Nothing But Net is a homer know-nothing.  I have seen 10-12 LU/Grinnell games over the years.  I have nothing against the system at all.  I find it enjoyable for about 5 minutes and then kind of a drag.  However, D3 ball is about participation and the experience and that drags me back to being intrigued about the system.  If you go the GC and are on the team, you get to play.

I have been solid Grotberg and Long fans.  I hold nothing against little A, but am not sure how much value he really brought.  The whole thing about stiving for stats a year or two ago was twisted in my feeble mind.  It made me lose some respect for what the Coach was trying to do at GC.

Back to "Nothing but Net".    You are a homer and out of your mind.  GC gets away with hell and usually does at home.  Their hacking defense gets less of a pass on the road.  I watched the whole game Saturday and you are delusional if you think arms were getting hit on 3 point shots.  That is the easiest call a ref can make.   The issue with the system is that tend to be as good as you are able to shot percentage wise.  Remember a few years ago, the year before Grotberg and Long got there?  Grinnell was thr ugliest team in sports and they put them on ESPN based on reputation and they stunk up D3's reputation.  That was a bad shooting team shooting a lot of 3s.  Very , very ugly to watch.  Again, when Grinnell is playing good Defense and hitting their 3s, they are fun to watch.  

The other key to Grinnell is having a tall guy back to defend on the lay-ups that occur.  LIttle Nordland did it some years ago and then Chamberlin.  They had some guys this year............page got a lot of shots put back, but their shooting just was not there because of solid LU perimeter defense.  To call out the refs is crazy.

Since Aaron Thompson is a guard, not a forward, I'm guessing that LU's first line of big men can't stay with him, either.

Wash U's starting lineup:

G	Sean Wallis	6'2, 185	Sr
G	Aaron Thompson	6'4, 190	Jr
F	Cameron Smith	6'5, 185	Jr
F	Tyler Nading	6'7, 200	Sr
C	Zach Kelly	6'7, 235	Jr

On Friday night Kelly and Wallis will be facing their former Glenbrook North teammate, LU reserve Tyler Cullitan.

Mea Culpa all knowling master.  I just saw high scorer and 6'4 and assumed he was a 3.  Oy...It will be even harder then I thought...

Yep. That size of theirs is a problem for most teams at this level.

To Scrub and Nothing But:  Welcome to the board.  However, somebody should have filled  you in on the ground rules before you put you made an Arse-oh-no of yourself.  Generally speaking, you are not allowed to spout off until you have at least 25 posts.  Until that point, the only thing you are allowed to say is something like, "You're right, Scottie" or "Absolutely, The Roop" etc., etc.  Consider it an orientation of sorts....

Sincerely,
