hoyaboy: Direct loading pictures and youtube videos takes up bandwidth and slows loading of the site considerably. Is this unique to the forum software? Every other forum I ever go to allows pictures and occasional videos and never loads slowly. This rule made sense 8 years ago but seems silly now. It may well be unique, but I'm not the tech guy here - the admin could tell you that for sure so you may want to PM him.

hoyaboy: jokes are fine. 'Comedy routines' was a poor choice of words. Lighten up on the freedom of speech straw man. Who mentioned freedom of speech? And I didn't use a strawman, either - I responded directly to your post. I'd still like an answer about posting pictures, though. I asked in another thread and never got a response.

While the comedy routines are nice, keep the discussion here on the upcoming basketball game please. Thanks for all of your cooperation. Why can't we make jokes? The rivalry is part of the basketball game. Enough with the over-moderation. And let us post insulting pictures, too.

Do they intentionally pick people who have never played basketball/have muscular diseases for the shooting contest? I'm embarrassed to be an alum every time one of those spazmatic ninnies bricks the layup, airballs the FT, and is 10 feet short on the three.

Sims, Freeman, and Summers combine for 4-5 missed layups off of Monroe passes. Should have been a triple double today.

where are we with the irony button thingy? (Sorry admins. I know that's against the rules, but I couldn't resist. You can delete my post, but I hope you can understand I had to do it.) Why can't we post pics, by the way? Can the servers not handle it? I'm pretty sure nobody here is using dial up anymore so page loading shouldn't be a problem . . .

Austin wasn't hitting 3s over the summer either. I never thought we'd have to worry about his shot.

Losing at ND is OK - they aren't a great team but they are still tough to be at home. What isn't OK is playing like total crap and losing to ND when they aren't playing well. Gotta take advantage of situations like that.

If Sapp hasn't been productive, what has Omar been? Look, I'm pleasantly surprised that he is even getting on the floor, but right now he is a shooter that can't shoot. He had one good game (Tenn) and outside of that is 4/24 from three. He doesn't contribute nearly enough otherwise to deserve minutes if he isn't making 3s. We don't have much of a choice but whenever possible I'd rather see Clark getting his time - or Sapp.

I'm not sure why Clark isn't getting more minutes - he is the only guy off the bench who has shown himself to be ready for the BE at this point. Wattad was atrocious against Pitt (terrible pass out of bounds, airball 3, blown by on D), Vaughn simply doesn't contribute when he is out there, and Sims has talent but doesn't seem ready at this point.
Clark actually contributes something, while with the other three we are just hoping to get by for a few minutes.

Good post. Also notable is the terrible 3 point shooting outside of Summers, and Wright being the only player with an A/TO ratio greater than 1.

Actually Freeman was OK on the boards today, and Macklin was a pathetic defensive rebounder. But yea, we suck at rebounding.

Henry's 3s rarely even fall in warmups, and he barely took any in Kenner. I guess he's making them in practice because I don't really get it.
He isn't strong enough to bang inside yet, but that doesn't mean he should be shooting threes.

Did the hick looking dude at the bottom right just get slapped by the disembodied hand?

If I recall correctly the American team beat Clydes in Kenner, so this is a revenge game

I mean that literally - I'd like for someone from the athletic department to exchange ideas with real people instead of having the whole AD operating behind a curtain, emerging only to make occasional pronouncements (and usually disappointing ones) Good one

Seems as though the Riley decision only became "mutual" after he said he didn't want to come.

You could do something along the lines of "all possessions ending in less than x seconds" are fast breaks, although that would end up including TOs in the backcourt and off of inbounds plays too.

far. We're looking for solid 7th men. Guys at 8-10 don't stick it out because, let's face it, they won't play and maybe that's OK. This is at least partly because we have rarely had more than 7 guys worth playing.

Also please stop with that FG defense % and not being able to rebound correlation. Rebounding is about heart and desire. And height, arm length, strength, athleticism, technique, and defensive scheme.
