Great game yesterday. Good to see Cooney out there getting some minutes. Still looked pretty spastic, but I like the effort he brings on defense. Still not much offense down low, and I think that will absolutely kill us come tournement time. I really liked the Keita - Fair - Southerland - Triche - MCW line-up.
BTW....did anyone else notice Southy clowning around....trying to get the Providence players to slap his hands after he made free throws? At first I thought he made a mistake, but he did it another time and started laughing. He's quite a character.

couple of things i thing rhodes is a pettine cb not milner, love the bama te in the 5th the duke qb is a big time sleeper imo he gets drafted 4-6 rounds
I have thought a lot about this. Milliner played a lot of cover 2 in college, and it remains to be seen how he handles more man-to-man responsibility. He has the size and physicality, but does he have the technique? Rhodes on the other hand has proven to excell in man coverage...shutting down ND's Michael Floyd in 2011, and fairing pretty well against Clemson's arsenal of WR's this year.
FWIW...many draft prospects have Desmond Trufant as the #2 CB. Given the option between the three, picking at #8, I would take Milliner without hesitation. I still would prefer, however, taking either the best offensive lineman or the best pass rusher available with our 1st round pick.

Ryan Swope could be one of the steals in this draft. Not the most athletic or physically gifted receiver in the bunch, but the guy always seemed to make plays whenever I saw him.

"gank" and "skunk weed"....never heard those before. Classic
haha....you dang whipper-snappers and you new fangled whoosi-whatsits!!!! I need some ginger snaps and warm milk and then a nap.

I totally agree with you Hammer. It was a totally inappropriate interview on Grey's part. Not the time and place for those questions at all. I can see maybe asking the first question about it, but after that response Grey got from Rose subject should've been dropped. If I remember correctly that kind of hijacked the whole evening for me as well as a lot of other baseball fanatic friends of mine.
As for Rose though, dude is a total slime ball. To blatantly deny those allegations for years, and to finally admit to them in a "tell all" autobiography is disgusting to me.
That scenario, followed with the strike, then the steroid era pretty much killed baseball for me. I can't even stomach watching it anymore.
Can't say that I disagree with anything here....

I put 65% of his success on his QB.
I'd say more like 43.9% He didn't score a lot of touchdowns, but he had a pretty good season in 2006 with Joey Harrington throwing him the ball. The guy can play.
-
Which one? The one asking the obvious tough question, and being way too pushy about it? Or the one blatantly lying his butt off?
I think the problem with that interview, and the reason Jim Gray is now working for Westwood One Radio and Showtime instead of ESPN, is that he asked those "tough questions" at an inappropriate time. It would have been one thing if Rose agreed to do an exclusive interview with ESPN or CBS Sports, but Gray took it upon himself to rake Pete Rose over the coals after the All Century Team ceremony. Very poor timing, and his persistence (when Pete clearly wasn't ready to admit anything) was deplorable and classless.
I am not a Pete Rose defender, but there is a time and a place for everything. Am I stating the obvious here?
Sorry Sage...I didn't mean to hijack the thread...carry on

Was it the our father that got to 'em?
haha....prey not pray.
I doubt that a good ol' Act of Contrition or a Hail Mary would seal the deal

Not sure why you all are turning your nose up at Charles Woodson. Yes, the guy clearly is on the wrong side of 30, but at the right price/contract terms, he still is light years better than George Wilson IMHO.
In any event...this is a moot point. Both Woodson and his agent have made it very clear that he wants to go to an immediate contender

Worst interview in the history of interviews?

When I was in my 20's and single (not proud of this) I used to prey on married/engaged women in night clubs. My "pick up line" was to innocently buy them a drink, ask to take a closer look at their engagement diamond, and proceed to tell them that I owned a jewelry store and that their "diamond" was clearly a cubic zirconia
Most often they would just laugh, but a few would actually get pissed off...thinking they had been duped by their cheap fiance/husband. I can't even count the number of married women who visited the back seat of my Chevy Blazer in the parking lot of some dingy night club
I probably should have been beaten to death with a baseball bat long ago.

Just got back from a week trip to Seattle. Have to say that Seattle is now in the top 5 of my favorite cities. Absolutely amazing...even though my wife and I got chased by a sobbing, drooling crack head (begging for $) for 2 blocks before we eventually ducked into a Target store to escape
Visited the Chiluly Garden and Glass exhibit....truly amazing stuff

triche did play very well....seton hall stayed in the game with a bunch of 3's. CJ was lights out again. MCW was fairly solid, in fact the entire team only had 4 total turnovers. It is a shame that Grant is not being used more. Southerland really needs to learn that he's allowed to take shots other than 3's...he is so effective when he goes inside. It was a nice game, the tv made it apparent that it was a big Orange crowd. Nothing earth shattering from the game, just a game that was pretty much in hand for most of the game and the team seemed to be a bit on cruise control, which is nice to be able to do every now and again
Thanks Pooj....definitely agree about Southerland. After all, the guy is a pretty good 3 point shooter, but he's no Preston Shumpert for Chrissakes. Needs to diversify his game a little with some mid-range jumpers. I wonder, in a game like this, why JB didn't get Cooney off the bench. I know his play hasn't exactly earned him minutes, but he is inevitibaly going to be relied upon down the stretch to give the team 5-10 minutes per game. Seems like this would have been another good opportunity to get him some burn.

She kinda looks like Shelley Duvall from The Shining....

didn't see it either (can only watch national games). Looking at the comments on syracuse.com, seemed like a lot of complaints about grant not getting minutes. Looks like cooney didn't play a second.
JB trying to hide Grant from those NBA scouts

I'm more amazed her ass can fit in an airplane seat.
C'mon folks....they're celebrities...they're better than us regular folk.

Definitely, but I'd much rather have LaRon Landry

Wasn't able to watch the game tonight. Anybody able to re-cap? I looked at the boxscore and saw that BT stepped up in a big way. Defininitely a lot closer than it should have been, but a win in the big east (especially on the road) is a win. Disappointed to see that Jerami Grant did not have a point.

BUMP!!

29% from the floor total....8% from behind the arc (2/23). I hate to say it, but IMO this team is going to live and die by Brandon Triche....very scary proposition. When he is on, and MCW is allowed to focus on distributing, this team is a contender. Without a significant contribution from Triche, however, this team is VERY mediocre. Trying to keep the faith.
BTW....I can't believe Southy wasn't yanked for good after that ridiculous 30 foot jumper with about 25 seconds left on the shot clock. What a joke.
Props to Kevin Ollie for coaching a really good game. Great game plan, and his boys were really prepared for this match-up.

As I was saying....
Bravo bills44...you were right on the money. Glad you were right!!

jboyst....that dog with the birthday hat looks really, really stoned!! Good stuff!

If I recall correctly, Quinn Early had some seriously "fickle fingers."

Totally agree. And I don't know if it's related to Southerland being back, but MCW looked much better this game than he has in the last 3. He let his game flow and take what was there instead of trying to make things happen.
What the heck happened to Christmas though? He seemed to really be coming along but today he was a non-factor, borderline terrible.
MCW definitely plays better when he plays with a "pass first" mentality. Looked like a NBA lottery pick out there today. Christmas has been so Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde all season long. My read is that he makes a stupid play, gets an ear-full from JB (or gets benched), and he completely loses his composure. The kid really needs to mature emotionally. He has some moments on the court where he does something awesome offensively, and I'm thinking....wow this kid is going to be amazing!! Most of the time I'm wondering why he was a McDonalds All-American. Good thing Keita has been putting in some quality minutes.
Big game vs UCONN on Wednesday.

Buddy never specified that McKelvin would be the starting corner opposite Gilmore. I think he means that he views him as the starting nickle corner. Nothing ground breaking here IMO.
