I went to the scrimmage and enjoyed it a lot. In fact, I even have Travis Fords roster sheet and notes he left on the scorers table!

I was wondering what the deal with Tiki Mayben is. Is he not even practicing with the team? I guess I missed something

He can't. He is an academic redshirt, so he can't practice with the team at all.

At least that is what I think. I could be wrong, and if so, please correct me.

That's correct. He's not part of the team this year.

I'm not one of the two Salovski critics you mention and, therefore, do NOT want to argue, but to make this statement is just wrong, IMHO. And, to let it pass without a response, would have been wrong too.

Our new coaching staff are all short guys, and the team looks like they are being coached by a bunch of short guys: tough defense, excellent guard play, and big guys who are trying to play like short guys.

Sir, I have stood next to you and I can say unequivocally that you should not be mentioning 'short guys.'

You may think he's vertically challenged, but I wouldn't put coach Middleton in that category.

Swampy, you don't think Deli has a better shooting touch than Bonner?

And how tall is Coach Middleton?

And just so everyone one the board knows, I'm only short in basketball terms. In the real world, I'm strictly average.
