    I'm bowing out for now

    I'm appreciative of those who like me and my contributions to the board. But I have reached the point where I am not 'fighting'. I'm a single man with no dependents no bucket list and I am not a man of faith. What I would really like to do is to fall asleep and not wake up. It would be a release...

    Yes, DR. Madhura at Upstate, said to be very good.

    I'm bowing out for now

    I'm getting weaker. (If anyone knows a good local agency to send in a helper, I'd appreciate it.) I have this large tumor in my liver. They think both lungs may be cancerous and no they are checking for bone cancer. And the games and the coaches show are all the same.

    My Questions for tonight's Adrian Autry Show

    Q2 - "Eddie has always been an important player on our team. He does things that don't show up in the statistics. He can move the ball and pass the ball. He's always been important to us."

    My Questions for tonight's Adrian Autry Show

    It's taking a lot out of me. I spend a lot of the day lying down or sleeping and sometimes I just don't have the energy to do things. I have an appointment at Upstate with Dr. Madura Monday. He'll plan a course of treatment. Maybe it will include stimulates.

    My Questions for tonight's Adrian Autry Show

    Q1: AA: They play in spurts. It's consistency. The offense is topping 70 points per game so that's not the problem. We have one of the best rebounding teams we've have. It's consistency. We show ability at times and then we don't." Matt: "Is it execution or the physical aspect where we are...

    The Upside - Miami

    - Box Scores are about offensive numbers and it’s easier to look like a superstar in an 87-91 game. Even considering that, Eddie Lampkin’s numbers are amazing. 22 points 13 rebounds (9 defensive), 6 assists. He was 8 for 12 from the field and – get this – 6 for 6 from the foul line. He had 35...

    The Downside - Miami

    (Sorry for the delay - fatigue has been an issue.) - Their star, Matthew Cleveland is very talented but he had a free hand the whole game. While JJ was 8 for 21, Matthew was 10 for 12 from the field. We put him on the line 12 times and he made 10. That means we were trying to defend him and...

    The Downside - Boston College 2

    The Upside - Boston College

    The Upside - My definition of a great game is a game in which both teams had their back to the wall an got back in it. That was this one, except is was a game between two bed teams that kept putting themselves against the wall. - We won the turnover battle, 13-16, had 10 steals to 6, won the...

    I just got back from the hospital. I found out the size of my tumor is 6 inches by 7.5 inched and it’s 10 inches deep.

    The Upside - Duke

    - Why was Nahem McCloud hardly used until his last two games? I recall in the ESPN pregame show, much was made of Duke being the tallest team in the country. I thought, “Let’s roll Naheem out and tell ‘em to get a load of this.” Naheem played 22 minutes, more than doubling his season total and...

    The Downside- Duke

    - Listening to the Twitch post games show, it was amazing how many people appeared shocked and made all the usual H0T Takes as if they’d just come to those conclusions. I thought we were all in agreement that the results of this game we very likely to be bad and that the real issue was what will...

    The Downside - California

    - JJ Starling was 9 for 34 in the two games and 2 for 10 from the arc. - We blew up against the press in the late going, watching an 18 point lead become 6. Fortunately, we were able to make the plays necessary to win the game. The good news is that Duke probably won’t be pressing us. But BC...

    The Upside - California

    - We won and split the west coast tour. This was huge because Duke comes next in the schedule and we’d be going into that game with a 5 game losing streak. It could have been the beginning of a disastrous free fall. Last night we put the breaks on it and have a shot at turning things around...

    Mike Hopkins opportunity?

    In the days of the Sack Mac Pack, (football, when we were 0-4 in 1986), a lot of people wanted Floyd Little to come back and coach the team. The same points were made: he'd never been a coach an teenager recruits wouldn't know who he was. Fans think that if a player is one of our heroes...

    The Upside - Stanford (basketball)

    - Let’s give the team credit for making a game of this, starting with a 20-4 run after the 2-25 start. Stanford then rallied to take 14 point lead. We got it back to 6 and with 7 with 1:46 left. We came up short as we have so many ties this year but it was a credit to the players and the...

Wake Forest only 0-4 but then 2-17, (we lost by 10), Notre Dame in the Dome 0-11 (we won) and this game, 0-17 and 2-25 and we lost by 9. So we won half of the 6 games, (but two were...
