MBB: Northwest Conference

[nwhoops1903]

Haha, oh man that is pretty funny. What else is there to get besides the win? Might as well say "good job guys we finished that game in second place." NWHOOPS where did you get that quote? Was it a comment to newspaper or something?...

Is CalTech on their schedule this year? If so, someone needs to give them the warning to keep their heads down and covered to protect themselves from flying wedding rings. Even if they win.

Huh? Bridgeland will take off his wedding ring and throw it at a player if he does something wrong? Or are you hinting at something else? I've never heard of a coach throwing his wedding ring at a player before.

If it's true, it doesn't sound like a maneuver that would go over real well with his wife.

Pios beat Evergreen State tonight 73 to 61. Papenfuss had another solid game with 19 points and Hollins the freshman continues to impress, putting up 16. Berggren only 1-7 from behind the arc. Overall the Pios shot 25% from behind the arc. Evergreen State shot only 13% from behind the arc so it didn't matter but those numbers need to change or the Pios will end up being very inconsistent like last season.

Apparently it happened during the postgame talk after a 40+ point win. I don't think it hit any players. If I remember what one of the guys told me, it either bounced off the wall or a locker or something and one of the assistant coaches ended up with it.

haha thats sounds like a one way ticket to the dog house to me

i found this web site adn thought i would have some fun and poke a round a little.  it seems to me that you both are bitter. i am not sure at what.  i asked why the current team was strugling and why we had to depend on freshman when we were picked number 1 by the coaches.  all i got in return was bridg bashing. 

i will leave you with this-he was and is always good to me. all the players i treated seemed to really like him and playing for him. he was intnse,but you to seem to be out to ruin his name and all he did for ups.

good luck with that.  i wish ups well. i get the feeling that if coach lunt keeps strugling,it will be the players fault or bridgs fault or at leest you will make up a story to clame such. i thought your story bout him throwing his wedding ring went to far.

push on, 'logger' fans.

peace.

Mtnman, where's the holiday cheer?

You are more then titled to your opinion, and I know you like to stir the pot.  But if you read my last post, I dont think I ever engaged in any "Bridge Bashing". 

I am not overly concerned with spelling, but have you ever seen someone spell their name Tailor?  Come'on thats someone who makes suits.

I don't think I have ever claimed to be "close" with the program.  I have watched lots of games over the years, and occasionally talk with some of the players, and other people around school.  So sometimes I think I might have a bit of a feel for what's going on.   Yes they do have 3 very good players in Foster, Willams, and Krauel.  And Boice is a solid player...but what to they have after that?  I bunch of untested/unproven players that are getting their feet wet right now.  So that could be part of it.  But even still they shouldn't struggle against Santa Cruz.  I can't put my finger on why they have struggled this year so far.  Maybe they have put in a new philosophy and are adjusting.  Why do our 2 preseason all-americans still turn the ball over too much.  We have all sorts of size, but can't rebound.  Or how bout a guy that can consistantly hit an outside shot.  I am not down on my team...or even concerned at this point.  It is very early in the season, and they still have lots of time to gel and come together.  Conference play is the most important, but they still have more then a month to keep getting better.

I am sure some will question the coach...but how much responsibility should he carry?  If they work on rebounding all week, yet don't rebound in the game, what gives?  Players are the ones out there.  What is the difference between the current team and the ones with McVey, Curtiss, and Walker or when Shelton and Glynn played?

You had posed a question about why UPS was underachieving I weighed in with my opinion.  I feel like I had put the majority of the onus on the players...and always have.  So I am not sure, why you were taking that angle. 

No need to question my fanhood, I am definately not bitter, and will always support the Logs to the end.  Sure I have been a bit disappointed that they haven't been in the national tournament, but they have had two successful years...just not quite up to the high standards that UPS has set.

Yes, they have struggled out of the gate, but they are still 3-0...with a month to gel and get better before the real "season" starts.  I have every reason to believe that Lunt and the Loggers will be ready to roll at the beginning of conference.

You mentioned the players you treated...were you an athletic trainer?

On a side note...Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

1st of all, have some fun on this website, no one is holding you back, that's what you said you came to do, so do it.
2nd I like to think that I have a little bit of knowledge about the game of basketball and can be critical of teams, especially UPS, but bitter certainly not. This is the 2nd time you've made such an accusation towards me. I'm going to need some evidence of this. I love coming on here and talking hoops. Isn't that what this is here for? Although I find the attention to be quite flattering, I'd say 90% of the time you are too busy "logshock bashing" too talk hoops    brings a tear to my eye.  Another 9% is spent talking about your god AKA Bridgeland and how everybody is hating on him. And the last 1% of your posts ask why the loggers are struggling? 3-0, getting to know where and how your teammates are going to play, and improving everyday doesn't sound like a team that is struggling at this point in the season. 

I have to say that I'm a big fan of having a good debate, but you are really taking Greg Sager's personal quote to heart "Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
     -- Homer J. Simpson"

especially when it comes to your boy bridgeland. I kinda feel like I'm debating against a little kid whose only argument is "no, no, uh uh, that's not true" Give me some evidence.
It's not possible for me to take away the 3 straight NWC crowns, nor would I want to. UPS is my team that wouldn't make sense.

I do agree with you on one thing, throwing your wedding ring is going to far, throw a pen or maybe a gum wrapper something not of value. Maybe its just me, but when I get mad and throw something it always seems to break or magically disappear. But if you don't take my word on the story, ask one of the former players. So far I've seen, McVey, Marsh, RJ Barsh, Jon Bond, James Melton, both Walkers, Shelton, and Delong. Or as a last resort, if none of those guys are there, ask Lunt or Robles since one of them ended up with it. But make sure there is a witness there, because history has shown that you like to deny deny deny. happy holidays
