Sounds like a great uncle to the kid too! :)

It was a hard-fought finals game with an unfortunate ending. Regardless of who you were rooting for, that’s a tough way to lose. Congrats to both teams and coaches. We can only dream…

And, yeah, I don’t know why we’re even talking about Dix. (Did I say I was an old fart?)

So you think Tomi, Tre, Davis, Bam, and Jakstys are back? Confidence level 1-10??

Man, I don’t think I’ve posted all year. And it’s late and I just got done working a concert, but…. Dang! I don’t dislike Brad, but he carries so much drama and chaos with him. Honestly, I’m tired of the constant player and assistant coach turnover. Every year it’s the same. I laughed when...

I was in town the night before Thanksgiving and took the fam to see the Kings at Wolves. I hoped TSJ would get in but he didn't. Dillingham, on the other hand, did and promptly threw two passes to no one. He looked completely lost. Of course, the Wolves as a whole did that night, getting booed...

Making no predictions on the coming year, but I LOVE the look in DGL’s eyes after that slam. Whether he contributes much this year or not, I hope he sticks around… because I’m a fan.

So, I kind of checked out mid season. My old heart required it and I sensed it was a time to sit idly by. Now that it’s over, just a late-night, drunken observation… I really hope all the freshmen are back (especially Jaden), RJ, Goode, and Coleman. Anyone else is gravy. Dain would be great too...

So, not to put words in your mouth (although…), he “may” have been helpful this year with transfers?? This is my concern with BU saying we will get in “rock stars.” Fine, but how will they gel? And this is not a knock on anyone. Just raising concerns/questions. I’m rooting for BU and the Illini!

I’ve always wondered, did Gentry choose to leave on his own, or was he sort of a casualty of the other two assistants (who both also left)?

Really? So we’re going to throw a freshman under the bus for this exchange, but not a veteran coach? Okay. I’ve never been a D1 athlete, but I don’t see this as all that out of line. 🤷‍♂️

Okay. True. Let’s chat after the next game. ;)

Is that FDU coach weird or is it just me?

I’m amazed by the number of blocks he has where, rather than swatting it out of bounds, he ends up with the ball. Now I’d like to see him be able to stay on the floor longer.

Thanks, friend. I know it wasn’t your intention. Just brought up some bad memories. Much like this season. I-L-L!
