Yeah. It's great to know that Deonte is still Deonte. He can dunk the ball. He can also commit 5 TOs in 19 minutes against a cupcake. Same old, same old.
Hopefully we will be spared from an update after every game.
Transfers are dead to me. So is this thread.

The media's laying low on him. They're a bit gun shy since they don't know how to responsibly cover guys that so thoroughly break the mold.

Had 15 points on 6-9 from the field 3-4 from 3 point range, 5 boards , 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover in his first game. Looks very strong physically.
I sure wish we had all of our former players back.
Dawson ... Burton ... Newbill ... Butler ... Jae ... Wade ... Novak ... Wardle ... Bo ... Butch ... Dream ... Thompson ... Kojis ... all the guys in black and white photos. All of 'em.
So much better to wish for who isn't here and then predict our current guys will go 0-5 against power-conference opponents than it is to respect and cheer on the guys who actually are playing for us now.

I think it helps us when our former players do well. No matter where they are. No one said I wish they were here. That is just your insecurity .
When you were a journalist you must have been in the group that distorted peoples words to fit your needs.
Doesn't diminish my desire for the current team to do well.

The guy has no basketball skill whatsoever, but he sure is an athlete! Since Walter's feelings got hurt too bad, maybe Deonte would take his full track and field scholarship and he can become the AA high jumper Walter was supposed to be here?

Now unlike Burton, there's a guy with some actual basketball skill that would've really helped this team. Too bad he had a girlfriend back West.

For Ners
Liberty played against IU tonight
Dawson 1-7 from the floor.....0-4 from 3....1 rebound 0 assists 3 turnovers 3 fouls...2 points.
STjr with 14 points 10 boards and 5 assists in Toledos win over Wright State tonight. He is having an excellent season so far.

Derrickesque. Except Derrick was doing it against high majors, not a team that is projected to go 6-25 and finish 7th in the 31st strongest basketball conference.

Wasnt healthy most of the time.
We saw glimpses of his ability.The guy had a 20 point game against Ohio State. He also had 17 boards against a St. John team that made the tournament .
He is now finally healthy and doing very good things.

Interesting insight. I never thought of him that way. Maybe that was the problem with him.
His lack of skill and athleticism were the real problems.
I'm pretty sure Toledo has also played some not so good teams
Henry back to D-League today.

So I'm sitting this morning in the Novosibirsk business lounge waiting for a flight to Moscow watching a replay of Zenith St. Petersburg against Yenisey Krasnoyarsk on the sole tv. Lo and behold there is Trevor Mbakwe playing for Zenith.

I think it might have been an ad lib. He referred to him earlier in the announcement as "William ". It was kind of a wrap-up, along the lines of "Bill Gates, everyone. Let's give him a hand".

i see, couldn't use the race card so default to a different "phobe" who said anything about homo-anything? nothing to see here guys, let's move along
Race card? I believe it was you who informed us that Will Gates and Bill Gates are a different nationality. Tell us, which one don't you consider a real 'Murican?
Who said anything about homo-anything? Why, I believe that was you as well when you tried to disparage Sultan in your astoundingly ignorant way by saying that his boyfriend liked him to bend over in the shower.
I'm sure you and Chicos pat each other on the back over ignorant sh!t like that, but really, there is no need to share your idiotic crap on a college basketball board.
And really I'm not offended that he jokes that I have a boyfriend. That would be nothing to be ashamed of.

rocket's posts give me zero boners.
In fact his posts usually makes my penis fall off.
Does this one count too?

Does what count too? What does getting boners over message board posts have to do with homophobia? Talking about boners doesn't make something homophobic. Implying someone is gay with the intent to insult them is.

i was referencing "idiotic crap" and everything was cool until that(sultan's) unnecessary jab(read, insult) at what started out as a very light hearted dialogue. i suppose i could have taken the high road, but my "inner chicos" overtook me and i refuse to be "bullied" on this board. i rarely attack people personally, but there are some here who seem to troll for people they dislike; probably carry-over from the politics board and by association with others they don't like either.

Sultan's was light hearted. Yours was not.

What you either don't get, or are intentionally trying to deflect from, is that it isn't that you responded, it's that you responded with what was intended to be a homophobic slur.

You're the fucking worst. And in the year of 2016, there's some deep competition for that place in life.

I guess you still don't understand something. Implying I am a homosexual is not an "attack" in any manner. It isn't insulting to me in the least.
However it reflects poorly on you that you *think* it's an attack and insulting.

wait a second-first off, where is the "phobia"? and secondly, how is sultan's interpreted as light hearted and not mine?
i felt sultan's was as much an insult to me as all of you guys felt mine was phobic and insulting. by the way, just as a reminder, i hired a gay person who has a standing offer to buy into the company/partnership. not to mention all of the other associations i have...here we go...
"i felt sultan's was as much an insult to me as..."
not to mention, unsolicited and totally uncalled for
Quote from: rocket surgeon on December 01, 2016, 02:26:52 PM
you guys felt mine was phobic and insulting
No, we didn't
feel it was phobic and insulting, it
was phobic and insulting...which you still don't understand and never will. But it sure was magnanimous of you to hire a gay person. ::)
My grandmother used to throw around the N word and use the term "darkies". She didn't know any better either.

Dude it was a joke...that your posts not only give me zero boners (according to keefe's scale) but that they make my penis fall off.
If you were insulted by that, I am sorry. I really meant nothing by it. Let's just move on.
I can always tell a thread is going off the rails when I scroll down and all I see is post after post that says "You are ignoring this user." ;D

I'm sorry if Sultan offended you. As I read it, Sultans comment basically amounted to "I disagree with Rocket Surgeon so much and so often that my penis falls off." Hyperbolic for sure, but he said nothing about you other than he disagrees with you. You implied that Sultan was gay and that somehow made him lesser. Using gay as an insult sends a message that being gay is a bad thing. That's where the homophobia is.
That being said, I wouldn't call you a homophobe. You just said something homophobic. It happens to the best of us. I've said homophobic things before. You got called on it, no need to defend yourself. Just say sorry was trying to be funny and move on.
However, the "I hired a gay guy" is not a valid defense. I have a gay man in my wedding party. Doesn't change the fact that I've said homophobic things before.

I quite enjoyed the last seven. And that's as far down the politics hole as I am going.
Earlier today I was thinking to myself Scoop isn't that interesting of late. Wrong. Good job everybody, I mean it. Ring Out Ahoya
Aw man! Came to check on updated "former player news" and got some rocket homophobia, yet another flash of Keefe's Hillary hate-boner, and a photo of an elephant trapped in a well. Scoopers be Scoopin!
