Man

Hopson, when he hits, has a beautiful stroke.

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 to parent up reply reply actions 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.

Agreed

But everyone will break your heart eventually, you know.

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.

Can you translate Rocky Top into redneck?

Oh, wait.

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

Agree

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

Love it when the play is EXACTLY OPPOSITE of what the announcer says is going to happen.

Much more aggressive

on both sides of the ball today. That is good. Very good.

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.

by Joel on Jan 10, 2009 2:07 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.
