Kolek planning to go pro
Being able to show my wife quotes like these definitely helps ease the tensions on the home front.
A Raleigh MU alum giving a big thanks!
Just tweeted it out on Paint Touches. Thanks for doing this. Very helpful.
We have. People can't let go.
Your work on this chart is much appreciated, Wolfpack guy. We older Warriors remember the NC State legacy well. Jimmy V was very much like Coach Al. State still fights for respect given media fawning over UNC and Duke--kind of like our challenge with Wisconsin. Here's little mutual respest story for you. I graduated from MU in 1974 and when visiting the Outer Banks recently had to take my dog to the vet. The vet and I got to talking about old schools and he told me he was at State in 74. From then on we re-lived the game and how the schools got there. State coach Norm Sloan and Al were controversial guys not generally loved nor understood by the establishment, at least not then. In those days, UCLA was always supposed to win the title even though Indiana broken the chain 73. Anyway, between stories of Al, Bo, Luke, Marcus Washington, and State's 7'4"? Tom Burleson, David Thompson (the DWade of his era) and the "little guy [who] killed us" as Al said of diminutive guard Monte Towe, we became fast friends. He had followed MU ball and I the same of State over the years. Nice to have a home and home again with the Wolfpack. Thanks again.
Are we playing NC State next year as part of our out-of-conference schedule?
Looking at the PF slot shows you the philosophy of Buzz's "switchables".Hazel, transferred.Maymon, transferred.Roseboro, transferred.No one in current Soph/Frosh classes.Jae and Jamil played that position all year despite being SFs (according to the designation on the list).Buzz wants length and speed so I believe that HE believes it's just a position in the front court that needs to be filled.And not necessarily by a big, bruising body.
Nothing announced yet. Right now, of our 13 non-conference games, we know we will be playing the following:3 in Maui3 in-state (Wisconsin, UW-Milwaukee, @ UW-Green Bay)LSU.
MUFC .. The wiki knows all: http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/2012Brew .. are we playing UWM going forward? The contract ran out in December, and last I read we were "working on renewal" but no story that said we'd worked it out.You never know with UWM if they'll balk at what MU offers, which may be 5 home games, no Cell arena games, take it or leave it.
