Vernon

The air movement generated from Vernon Macklin running powers windmills to generate electricity for DC Metro.

There is a rumor circulating on campus (I believe it is entirely credible) that during this off-season Vernon by himself will finish both the MSFand the boat house and get approval and funding for a 6,000-person on-campus arena.

Vernon Macklin ended the cold war.

That's it? I thought he was going to work hard this offseason? I mean, if he were trying, he'd get a 10K seat on campus arena.

Dude, you went too far.

[nathanhm]

How is that going too far, would it really be bad if suddenly Vernon was better than Roy.

That would give us a better frontline than most Eastern Conference teams

Nobody gets in the way of Roy's Kenner League Four-Peat.

Nobody.

;D

Vernon Macklin is a 7'10, 500 pound, s.o.b. Once the Vern and I drove into an open field. He said "let's have a drink". I said "Vern, there's no bar here". He said "Wait". Six months later a bar was built around the car. Vern got out ordered a scotch, drank it, and set the place on fire. As I ran out of the blazing bar I could hear the Vern cackling and yelling "Always finish what you started."

It just takes some time,
Macklin in the middle, it's The Vern's time
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right

I'm smelling a new musical hit!

I think the new starting Lineup looks like:

C Roy
PF Ewing Jr.
SF Summers
SG Sapp
PG Wallace

Not too much change, because it seems like you have to keep the starting backcourt and summers after their performances last year and in the tournament, however I think freeman may get like 10-15 of sapp's minutes at the 2, and 5-10 minutes of summers' time at the 3, and then Chris Wright will spell Wallace.

For our top players, this would be it. But perhaps having Ewing off the bench will be better because we'll need someone like that leading the back-up squad, and he's great off the bench. That said, if you start Vern and Roy, then you don't have a strong Roy replacement, so maybe Vern off the bench to replace Roy makes more sense, and he can also spell Dajuan or PEJ at the 4.

The biggest thing esp with Jeff gone is get the ball to Roy. He shoots 70% and you can't beat that.

The miracle of birth is a beautiful thing that should be celebrated. So said a video I watched in 8th grade in Episcopal School.

Ingrid and Eric's miracle to be exact. Well, in public school at least.

Stop worrying about Vernon. Remember Roy as a rising sophmore.

[HoyaLingus]

Something I'm curious about -- I always thought Vernon was a power forward in high school -- not a center?

[Bay99]

Vernon was once in a 4g inverted dive with a MiG28. He has a great Polaroid of it.
