Sorry we’re late. Here’s your placeholder for tonight’s big game, during which someone will go off tangent about the spotted owl or misery index or Watergate. /shrugs. This game is a .. say it with us .. “must win” … as is every SoCon game here out. Two other league games tonight.
I’ll be sticking with the topic on this thread. Invite all to join me. Looks like we’re off to our typical slow start, but doing a little better now.
BTW Appfan, you encouraged the rants on climate change.
Comment by appnaysayer 02.08.10 @ 7:34 pmIt looks like the Day Late and a Dollar Short Gang is back in business. UNC-Gay up 25-20 in 1st half.
Comment by Flashman 02.08.10 @ 7:34 pmGood guys by 4, after a 9-0 run.
Comment by appnaysayer 02.08.10 @ 7:37 pmIn other news, the women are playing like they should have stayed on the road. Trail UCLA by 6 with four minutes and change left in the first half.

Comment by mtd Security 02.08.10 @ 8:27 pmI’d say it’s about time for one of those now famous Buzz Peterson “adjustments.”

Comment by Jared 02.08.10 @ 8:35 pmNow for some good news. The Lady Apps lead UCLA by 14 with six minutes and change remaining. I think I’m falling in love with Darcy Vincent.
Elon holding on. Leads UCLA by 5. Apps by 5 with 2:01 left.

Comment by mtd Security 02.08.10 @ 9:05 pmGood game for Butts and Hunter. Still too shaky on the free throws at the end, but Sims is money.
Comment by appnaysayer 02.08.10 @ 9:07 pmnaysayer, you forgot Brands great game tonight…
Comment by Dominick 02.08.10 @ 9:13 pmGotta love this team.

Comment by appmaj 02.08.10 @ 9:31 pmfeeling the Buzz in the desert……
Comment by appfanAl 02.08.10 @ 10:28 pmListened to a little bit of the women’s postgame tonight. Loved it when Coach Vincent referred to her upcoming opponent as Chatty. Damn, that woman talks fast.
Comment by Flashman 02.08.10 @ 10:53 pmBack on top! IF we win Thursday and Saturday we will lock up a first round bye. Beating Davidson Thursday would be huge!
Comment by Waco Kid 02.08.10 @ 10:55 pmNice win Apps!!!!!!
Comment by appfanmidwest 02.08.10 @ 11:59 pmHey Naysayer, I don’t know if you read the MMB or know it exists but, our former coach put up quite the provactive post over there and I figured you’d appreciate this line.
“Most importantly we graduated all of our players who exhausted their eligibility except for one and he swears he is gonna finish. And I won’t let him forget it.”
Comment by clayton 02.09.10 @ 6:30 amYeah, I always liked that about him. He had all the right instincts, just a little trouble delivering for those that mattered, I guess. Whole thing still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
On the free throws last night. We generally shot well, but Wright missed the front end of a 1 and 1 down the stretch and Hunter missed one. Luckily Sims was the next to get fouled.
Brand has been so up and down. Good to see him come alive.
Comment by appnaysayer 02.09.10 @ 7:08 amwaco kid-
if we’ve learned anything from this team it’s not to expect great things. just as soon as we seem to have it rolling. the slump happens. wouldnt surprise me if we lost the 2 in a row at home.
hoping for a different outcome though.
Mtd Security needs a job at ESPN.com gamecast or soemthing.
It is really nice to beat a bottom tier team for once this year.
Hunter is averaging 14 points and 7 rebounds a game over the last 3 games. He really seems to be providing some leadership for this team.
Comment by hapapp 02.09.10 @ 8:58 amWhen Buzz sat him down in the King game, it really seemed to make a difference. Maybe Josh has suddenly realized this is his last year. Even his FT shooting has improved.
