As a current Auburn grad student, I was excited to see this game. Then I realized it was in Florida.

i understand people may want to watch the team play, but after watching that shit against GA St., i dont think ill be exactly perturbed when they dont make it to tv this year

11/15/2009 11:13:52 PM

we might not qualify for choppy online streams this year

11/15/2009 11:19:23 PM

i think we should win this one but auburn ight be wearin the colors prodly cause the sec has alot of conf pride. maybe 2nd place to aub?

11/15/2009 11:41:59 PM

Austin Peay usually has a decent small-conference team. Akron not so much. Auburn is still not great but getting better under UNC alumnus Jeff Lebo. They went 24-12 last year.

11/15/2009 11:47:58 PM

At least we have an excuse if we lose the first game

Call Sammy's and ask them if they're gonna do it. They're the only ones I can think of that would bother.

The Governors will channel the spirit of James "Fly" Williams (even though hes not dead yet) and make it a close one!

Quote :

"Born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York City, he attended Madison High School, where he initially was interested in playing baseball. He was a pitcher, but was advised that he had become too tall to remain competitive in that sport. His initial introduction to basketball did not go well, but he eventually made the adjustment to the new game. His ability to play basketball came from his frequent participation in street basketball games. He played with some of New York’s finest street players such as World B. Free and Earl "the Goat" Manigault. When the games eventually ended, he would go out in search of more opportunities to play basketball. Williams dominated the sport of basketball at Madison High School in the early 1970s. By his freshman year, he was 6’ 5”, with outstanding moves, a fantastic shot, a terrific knowledge of the back board action, and could play the crowds. Williams got the nickname “Fly” from his flamboyant wardrobe and playing style. However, due to his poor attendance at Madison High, Williams completed high school at a prep school, Glen Springs Academy, in Lakemont, New York. The book "Heaven is a Playground," discusses, among other things, the education of “Fly” Williams. After Williams completed high school, he was recruited by an assistant basketball coach, Leonard Hamilton, to attend Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee. Williams arrived on campus in 1972. He was greeted by a reception which included a sky-writing demonstration which spelled out his name. His freshman year, playing as a guard, his scoring record was especially noteworthy. Williams averaged 29.4 points per game in 1973, fifth best in the nation. The Austin Peay State University basketball team, the Governors, won a bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament. Williams was true to form; scoring 26 points in a first-round win over Jacksonville University. In the second round of the tournament, Williams managed another 26 points, but the Austin Peay Governors lost to University of Kentucky, coached by Joe B. Hall, in overtime. His popularity soared. One fan described Williams' days at Austin Peay on the website http://www.angelfire.com/tn/rog/fly.html as follows: “Fans use to line up five hours before game time to get a seat in "The Little Red Barn" (Austin Peay’s red-brick gymnasium) to see the unique style of basketball that was "Fly". Williams was an original; once he didn't like the coaches strategy, so he walked off the court and sat in the stands with the fans. Other times he did things like dribble off the court during the game to stop at a water fountain. But another time when each Austin Peay player was given a fruitcake, where Austin Peay was playing in the "Fruitcake Classic", Fly collected all the players fruitcakes and delivered them to a poor section of town.” Williams scored 51 points twice in his freshman year. In his sophomore season, Williams averaged 27.5 points per game, earning a third-place scoring record in the NCAA. Once again the Governors basketball team won the bid for the NCAA tournament. Once again Williams scored 26 points, but Austin Peay was crushed by Notre Dame, 108-66, in the first round. The record established by Williams in his two years at Austin Peay, was impressive. Williams scored 1,541 points with a 28.5 point per game average; he left college due to hardship and pursued a professional career. Austin Peay responded to Williams' two year record, in 1975, by building the Dunn Center, a larger gymnasium, to accommodate the increase in attendance at basketball games. Fly's career was eventually ended due to a robbery attempt. A bullet wound left him with decreased lung capacity, and scar on his back. Williams is now retired and works with disadvantaged youth. James “Fly” Williams is listed as the number three athlete on the “50 Greatest Streetballers of All Time” by Street Basketball Association (SBA). While playing at Austin Peay, the fans constructed a clever on-court chant that went: "Fly is open, let's go Peay!" Fans still chant "Let's Go Peay" at all basketball games. James "Fly" Williams' number 35 jersey will be retired by Austin Peay State University on February 5, 2009. "

thank god.

^^^ We went there last Thursday for the NFL game. The wings were great and they had the State game streaming as well. They got rid of that damned raised platform that took up so much room and replaced it with bar tables as well. 10x better now

^^ where is that from?

11/19/2009 12:25:46 AM

wph, but don't laugh. it's their recap of the sidney lowe radio show. i trust they can summarize what he says without embellishing.

11/19/2009 6:21:23 AM

Yeah, i heard Sidney say it on his show. Paraphrasing, he said that Howell "immediately made his presence known" once he got out there. Sounds promising, and we could definitely use him.

11/19/2009 9:49:17 AM

really we just need one other person who rebounds well with tracy


Howell sounds exactly what this team needs

QFT&A

11/19/2009 10:19:52 AM

was just looking up our stats so far on espn.com and everything looked fine until I got to Javi...


is he really averaging 8 pts, 8 rebs, and 8 assists? i know we have only had one game but that is a pretty good statline from him.

11/19/2009 7:21:03 PM

Those were his stats in the one game, yeah

11/19/2009 7:28:15 PM

^that is pretty impressive even against lesser competition

if he could somehow have a breakout year i think we could win a few more games than people think. unfortunately we don't really have any other talent (besides Smith).

11/19/2009 7:48:20 PM

Oh, we have plenty of talent, they're just all freshmen except for Smith.

11/19/2009 7:53:17 PM

^if they are that talented then they would be playing. i would call our freshman class more of a potential type class. this is college bball not football...if the player is really good coming out of high school then he plays right away

we have some exciting young players but they are not at this point "talented"

11/19/2009 7:55:51 PM

^what? Our freshman class has plenty of talent, no doubt. They have played in our first couple games, and they're going to continue to play. They're going to have to, they're half of the team.

11/19/2009 8:10:04 PM

^painter played 9 minutes in a 20 pt. blowout. davis 10. vandenberg 10.

Look, I didn't want to turn this into a recruiting thread. my only point was that impact freshmen play right away and play a lot. these guys are talented and do have potential but my point was that they are not ready to play a ton of minutes at this point. i wouldn't be surprised to see a pretty small rotation if none of the freshmen improve a ton (at least for the first half of the ACC season).
