Olimpija is in three leagues this season: the Slovenian League, the Adriatic League, and Euroleague. The top 3 Slovenian teams qualify for the Adriatic League. The league has 14 teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. The teams play home and home, so 26 games and the top 8 teams make the playoffs. Olimpija's Adriatic League schedule starts Oct. 4 at Buduænost of Montenegro. www.union.olimpija.com/52/161/?UnionOlimpija=8kohcenk70dec1b67jar5b7la4As Slovenian champs, Olimpija qualified for the Euroleague. They are in Group C with DKV Joventut and Tau Ceramica of Spain, Virtus Roma, Alba Berlin, and Fenerbahce Ulker of Istanbul. They play home and home and then the top 4 move on to the next round. Olimpija's Euroleague schedule starts Oct. 23 at Joventut (Badalona, Spain). www.union.olimpija.com/52/160/The Slovenian League does not start play until 2009. There are only 8 teams, so with home and home, there are 14 regular season games and then the top 4 make the playoffs. |

College is over! Don't fall into the Ra Ra trap. Get your grad degree...and let GU give you a first class shot at life.
Really...WHO CARES about European basketball.
Ten years from now you can't put it on a resume....get with it boys.

College is over! Don't fall into the Ra Ra trap. Get your grad degree...and let GU give you a first class shot at life. Really...WHO CARES about European basketball. Ten years from now you can't put it on a resume....get with it boys. Obviously they do, let em chase their dream and stop hatin. Grad school will always be there; basketball may not. They are young men so let them be just that and respect their decision. GU will ALWAYS be on their resume upon their return. As we discussed in the LAST thread on Wallace, any employer worth its salt will LOVE that you spent a year or two abroad living on your own (or, in this case, with a friend from college) and getting paid for it. Wallace and Crawford will be based in a rapidly growing East European country and will, at a minimum, travel to Spain, Italy, Germany, Turkey, and Montenegro. They will get to see how people in those countries live and will keep on learning that life is very different from small-town Virginia and Alabama. No, they won't be getting taxed mentally and using their Georgetown education to the fullest - but that very rarely happens right out of college. If you lack any degree of experience, your primary goals at your first job will be to make copies, make coffee, and call people who don't want to talk to you. You'll drop the first job out of college from the resume after a few years, anyway, unless it's related to your currrent job (there's a 50-50 chance of that) or if you did very well. And college in and of itself is a lousy incubator for grad school and law school. Every single MBA program recommends that you work first. People right out of college in most grad programs describe how they would solve problem X according to Barton's Theory of Knowledge, only to have the grizzled veteran explain how that can't actually happen because Logistics takes more than a month to process anything. People who go straight to law school may do well but suffer in their development as lawyers due to their continual presence in a cocoon. This is not someone playing for the tenth straight year who can't give up on the dream of the League. This is an amazing opportunity that almost anyone would jump at. |

Agree with exorcist. This may not last forever, but it will be a helluva good experience for Jon and Tyler and WILL be a resume booster no matter what field they enter afterward.
[Question. Anyone know how to get one of their jerseys from the new team?]

Ten years from now you can't put it on a resume....get with it boys. Wow, for someone named "hoyaheaven" you sure hate the Hoyas and their players. From your last five posts: [After McD's game]BUT this is the 3rd game I've seen with Greg Monroe and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. TO's, slow afoot, non aggressive rebounding, can't shoot worth a damn--plus, for adders, totally disinterested and lethargic. No mojo here. None. Nada. Net, net: Very, very over rated. Another project...all those schools that lost out on the bidding war are certainly breathing a sigh of relief. Status: Pray for a miraculous conversion...hope I'm wrong and will gladly EAT MY WORDS. One thing for sure, for the third straight game, this is not a McD All-American. [After Davidson]Embarrassed to say the least. Our coaching staff is probably a bit overrated...but let's hope they realize that blowing a 17 point lead to a number 10 seed is a reliable sign that they need to get their act together. Next year will be a long one... The coaching staff will have to live with the "choke" moniker...one thing to get beat, another to take the google. [After BET Final]Anybody else think we were out-coached by a mile tonite?? |

If u can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Do you know what is mean by an ad hominem argument? Probably not. Look it up.

Most people do not get paid to do what they love. Jon and Tyler are getting that chance, and they would be absolutely crazy not to take it.

Plus, I imagine the pay is pretty good. You get to live abroad for a few years, play some basketball... not sure why going to law school and joining the legion is any better.

I found an actual newspaper article and a better online translation tool and it seems that Tyler is there on a trial basis. The team is looking for a "high" (perimeter?) defender after losing Ronell Taylor (UAB) and failing to sign Bryce Taylor (Oregon). (article: www.ekipa.org/index.php?p=nd&i=1942)(translator: presis.amebis.si/prevajanje/index.asp)On trial in Tivoli Wallace’s schoolfellow From Sunday at Union Olimpija on trial in a hurry high defender Tyler Crawford, that studied on university Georgetown, where he was playing Jonathan Wallace plays together with organizer (playmaker?), that he already signed contract with dragons before days. First priority of Union Olimpija is purchase of a high defender in these days because already two Taylors ran away from her for this position: her former member Ronell decided to leave for Cyprus, nesojeni future player Bryce to Italy. Candidate for reinforcement of dragons became 204 centimeters high 22-annual basketball player Tyler Crawford, that he came to trial yesterday, after he played basketball four years and was rubbing benches on the same university off (Georgetown), as new organizer of play of dragons Jonathan Wallace. Crawford can’t otherwise praise with right glittering statistics, because he was playing of benches in university basketball of many more saddles (in last season is from 34 contests opportunity got on 27 and he achieved point on contest in average), however he will try to prove that he is excellent defence player and very grateful for team, some sources claim corner. |

Good find bmartin.
I'm happy for Tyler ... its great that he has a chance to compete in Europe. I always thought that if Tyler had more of a chance to play... he'd make some nice contributuions. Perhaps this is his chance. In fact, were I JT3 for a day, I probably would have given him a few more minutes and taken a few away from Rivers. It always impressed me how Tyler could come off the bench.. stone cold, and knock down a 3. You got to love the confidence he showed and the effort he putforth every time he took the court.
