MBB: Northwest Conference

[logshock101]

On to this year, Koach is one tough SOB but to call him the toughest since bridgeland was around is overlooking some guys id take on my team any day. id take any recruiting newletter, write up, etc with a grain of salt, because everybody knows that no coach is gonna say, so and so is a lightning quick guard who averaged 15 points a game shooting 15 % outside of 15ft and scored the majority of his points on lay ups. since he has a horrible shot he used his impressive athletic ability to take adavantage of the put it up and go get it technique. player accolades arent exactly a reliable factor to rely on either unless there are an all american or somethin cause truth is some leagues are pretty terrible and teams idea of playing defense is parting the red sea when the offense drives to the hole.

i dont really have to many predictions for this season, but i think heyman is going to make some noise next year, and be on the lookout for a UPS guard Edrick (don't know how to spell his last name) that kid is tough, him and koach are gonna be lockdown defenders. depending on how the league finishes up id say the road for POY might run through tacoma again. Austin boyce is going to be in the running for it if, and this is a huge if, Boyce hasn't been a lazy ass all summer, which is certainly a possibility.

Looking forward to the season for sure

Slider: Goose, you're such a d!ckhead. Whose butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.

I can't stop laughing, this is great stuff

[TryMeTeam]

Stop it, NWCer.  You're just stirring the pot!

Us OR fans would never jump on each other like that!

[NWCer]

I must have been in the dark ages, I had never seen that youtube clip. 

TMT I just wish there was a 2nd Boxer backer out there for me to even possibly dispute with...

Zeddy's last post was funny.

Long time reader, first time poster. Obviously a Logger fan!!!! Looking forward to the season for sure. Certainly more balance across the conference than previous years, but I still look for my Loggers to come out on top!!!!

[LOGGER4LIFE]

Thanks for the welcome Zeddy. I hate for my first real post to carry on this negatively charged convo, but I got to say a few things that came to mind reading the last few pages of this blog. Even an outsider can see that logshock101/3peatchamp10 is taking the comments made by UPSZeddy so personally, one can't help but conclude that logschock/3peatchamp is actually Jeff Walker. My man, you can't give yourself away so easily!!!

More importantly, I have to come to Zeddy's back here. I don't mean to pile on, but I completely agree with Zeddy's comments. I have been a fan of the UPS program for quite a long time--even before Bridgeland was there, so I know a lot about Logger basketball. And from that knowledge, I can honestly say that Logshock's posts have been rediculous and bordering on complete insanity. With all the success that the Logger program has had over the past decade, there has only been really one question that I ever had about strategy and rotation--and that was this whole Jeff Walker situation.

There is absolutely no way ANYONE can convince me (or anyone on this board) that Walker deserved to play over Krauel, Brown, or even a young Koach. There skill sets trump Walkers eleven times out of ten, to say the least. It confused me--and even offended me--that the Loggers would put games on the line or risk poor/slow starts by starting Walker. I won't go any further with this part of my comments--Zeddy's earlier posts provide the statistical evidence.

But I think what bothers me the most about Logshock/3peatchamp's comments are his posts about leadership and his concept of team. As I have said before, I have been around the UPS team for a while and I have always thought that one of their best strengths was their sense of team and togetherness. Jeff claimed to be a leader on the teams he was on, but his comments on leadership do not merit this role. Everyone on the team has a role in how successful a team proves to be--I would think that someone who had a limited (and at the same time, bloated) playing role throughout his five years would understand that. I think Zeddy's post, again, said it best. I was surprised at how much Walker/Logshock/3peatchamp seemed to take for granted the privelage playing college basketball is--especially playing for such a great team and program. Walker--playing for UPS isn't something that's given to you. And even when it was, you didn't deserve it or act humble enough to prevent the firestorm that you are experiencing now. When it comes down to it, and especially after reading your comments on this board, I would take Polis or Douglas or anyone who may not have played as much, over you simply BASED ON YOUR ATTITUDE. Unbelievable. Take responsibility!


Now, like I said before, I hate that my first post on here is negatively charged. But I was influenced to comment, and even join this board, but these last few pages of posts. I'm not trying to take anything away from your career. Any athlete that made it through four/five years of athletics, as well as graduating from a prestigious university like Puget Sound has something to be very proud of. But, like I said, take responsbility, think about your comments, and, as you put it, sack up.

That being said, I think that there's a real bright season ahead for the Logs. I look forward to posting in the future about my thoughts and predictions.

Here's a taste  : Edric Egberuare will be an all conference player this season after playing very limited minutes in '08-'09. Looking for the young guys to step up!!!!

Over and out. Peace.

Interesting prediction for a player that only played in 9 league games (was he hurt?) and averaged less the 2 points and average less than 6 minutes a game, less than 3 in league games.  What do you know?!!!!!

You will get serious props from me if he pulls all-conference off.  Your last post was so well written and then you seem to lose creditability with that last one.  Pretty wild prediction!

I am a bit disappointed with all the internal bashing that is going on with UPS alumni and former players.  I think that both sides are being a bit over the top.  Zeddy/Robert Kraul, why would you can out a role player like?  Lunt picked the best person for the job.  And Logshock/Jeff, no need to say they choked, they were sophmores with a lot of responsiblity and a lot to learn.  I'm just gland they eventually figured it all out. 
The real point of this post is...you are both Loggers and were teammates, for crying out loud.  And I'm even guessing friends.  I didn't think that was what being a logger was all about...I thought they looked out for each other.  I can't remember/don't know the last time former players got on here and were all interested in talking about the past.  People reading and commenting on the boards aren't interested in talking about the past.  Lets move on and talk about this year.

[LogShow]

Well I'm off my soap box now...

I'm excited for the upcoming bball year!  It feels like its been forever since last season and the bitter taste that St. Thomas left. 

I am also really interested to see what Lunt can do this year. A player like Jason Foster only comes around about once every 10 years...so that will be a huge hole to fill.  I'm wondering what if any presence UPS will have down low this year.

Also, when can we start calling it Title-town insted of T-town for Tacoma?  Lol.


NWCer, ready for another year!?

[UPS Zeddy]

LogShow- I was just a little perturbed by the continuance of negativity towards alumni and coaches on here by one of our own supporters..but as I said before, all that's important now is 2009-2010 Logger Hoops. And "TitleTown" has a nice ring to it if you ask me. 

[NWCer]

Logshow,

With all the Logger peeps goin' back and forth I've been waiting for you to jump on here!

I'm ready, hope my Boxers (most notably the Bartletts) are healthy and that they're ready too!
