Man

Hopson, when he hits, has a beautiful stroke.

Go Vols!

by Joel on Jan 10, 2009 12:37 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

No, that was tipped

Wasn’t it? What’s the rule? If tipped by a defender, then merely touched by an offensive guy, and the o-guy gets it in the backcourt — violation?

I really like Negedu

He speaks four languages, you know.

I do too.

He hasn’t had his “Fredo” moment yet.

by wvvol on Jan 10, 2009 12:39 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes.

He hasn’t played enough to break our heart. From what I’ve seen him play, I can’t understand why he doesn’t play more.

by wvvol on Jan 10, 2009 12:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

But everyone will break your heart eventually, you know.

Oh, I know.

Hence the “yet.”

I like him as well

I don’t speak French, but I do kiss that way…

Hmm, probably shouldn’t have said that

by lawvol98 on Jan 10, 2009 12:40 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

And I my toast

And Negedu doesn’t speak French, by the way.

And sneak peak for all you comment-threaders: I have a Nigerian friend working on translating Rocky Top into one of the languages Negedu speaks. So that should be fun. Maybe.

I also speak redneck, but not often

Can you translate Rocky Top into redneck?

Looked to me like a great hustle play by Bobby Maze.

He ran down the court and at least challenged the guy.

by wvvol on Jan 10, 2009 12:48 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Agree

He does have a nasty habit of putting his non-challenging hand on the guy’s back, though.

And saw Bobby Maze hit a three on the first half highlights. Almost passed out.

Hey, Will

1st half full of surprises. Actually, though, the biggest surprise is that we’re only up by four. Seemed like we were dominating more than that.

He’s using software?

I use Adobe Creative Suite 3

which includes Photoshop among other programs. It is crazy expensive, but there are much less expensive programs out there. If you want to know more, just shoot me an email and I’ll give you some info.

But just to be clear, all of these were done long ago (some not even by me). I’m not doing them as the game is going on.
