i have the same feeling, but i know exactly why: seth greenberg.

10/20/2010 4:53:34 PM

I'd be pretty ecstatic if we finished in the top 4. I just hope we can finish in the top half and have a .500+ conference record to give us a chance at an NCAA birth.

I went to the U of Miami exhibition game tonight. UM looked mediocre, but still beat "Barry" 102-33. Pretty boring game but Miami has a few good players.

11/4/2010 4:29:01 AM

bump for being able to request student tickets to the first game!!


Tennessee Tech is going dowwnnnn!

11/4/2010 12:06:10 PM

There were some interesting notes/observations from our practices on PP such as Harrow has put on 20lbs since he got to campus, Painter has developed a consistent jump hook, Gonzalez has significantly improved his shooting, and Brown has already caught the eye of NBA scouts.

11/4/2010 1:14:44 PM

sounds like made up stuff to me.

not to be a downer about it.

i find that on packpride if you don't know if it's true, chances are it's at the very least greatly exaggerated.

don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to shit on the basketball team, but you're telling me that harrow's gained 20 pounds in two months and that brown is impressing nba scouts a week into practice.

I can actually buy all of that except for Harrow putting on 20 pounds. Painter looked like a different player at the Red Rally, Javi's shot has improved each year, and Brown was probably getting scouting in HS.

he had a really good sophomore season, dropped off as a junior (although still an excellent percentage from three).

11/5/2010 4:32:26 PM

this will open up a whole new recruiting gateway

11/5/2010 4:36:12 PM

He had the talent to play somewhere overseas. I guess felonies are more lucrative these days.

i think he was better last year. he only shot from 3 earlier in his career when he was WIDE THE FUCK OPEN because no one took him seriously and he attempted a lot more last season

Anyone else not get a ticket to the game on Friday? I've got 5 points and no ticket!

11/6/2010 12:37:32 AM

me too!

man fuck this. 5 points out the gate and no dice for a damn Tenn Tech game. Good grief. come acc time, this will be clusterfuck, thanks to all the people who wanna go to games now that we have potential.

11/6/2010 12:40:41 AM

I don't know what is wrong with the ticketing system, but something is screwed up. I went to all of the games throughout Christmas break last year and racked up a bunch of points and was able to get tickets to games like the Duke and UNC games. This year I've had tons of trouble getting tickets to FB games (which I can half-way understand), but there is no way in hell that I and everyone else that didn't get a ticket shouldn't get a ticket to the Tennessee Tech game. I'm confident I'll get one in the On-Demand phase, but it's still absolutely ridiculous.
