Back to Warrior Basketball

[real chili 83]

Okay, let's get back to business.

[Logi4three]

Bump.

What happened to the guy who posted on the coach's radio show?  I missed the start and would have taken better notes if I knew he was on vacation.  Comments I remember without checking (post beers):
1. Liked Teve's performance, but they are asking a lot of him and feel he can give a lot so he is capable of handling the pressure (I felt like he was going out of his way to not mention missing bunny shots, but I suspect that was just something I was thinking);
- Thinks Steve has a good feel for what move to make to avoid defenders;
- Thinks Steve also has a good feel for when he should kick the ball out;
2. Don't start talking about the tournament next week as they have UNO next and need to focus on them. UNO is big on transition (maybe close to leading the country on this) and said that they probably watched what tOSU did and are going to try to mimic that;
3. MU is close to leading the country in pressure D/turnovers and that he would like to see us convert more turnovers into points (read: don't miss bunnies and dunks);
4. MU did a great job defending Russell (he is very good);
5. Favorite non-sports related movie: Brave Heart (even over Gladiator); Favorite sports movie: remember the titans and Hoosiers over that;
6. Incoming recruits are great and we are a young team.  Wojo looks for guys who can perform during practice and under the lights of game day (knows how to tell who is ready to play when their number is called);
7. Team would say game minutes are determined based on practice and they tell the kids who (statistically) are doing best so starters should be no surprise. Jay Z & Beyonce practice! ; )  Assist to turnover ratio is very important... can't have empty possessions.
8. Hobbies: NONE!  Basketball is all consuming and he keeps his limited free time for his family.  Wrestles with 6 & 4 year old, they play jenga and 6 year old has caught the b-ball bug.  

I'm not doing any of this justice, so blame the regular guy for taking vacation and check out the feed here:

P.S. just listened to first 15 minutes and (spoiler alert): likes switchables (or more specifically "versatile" players who can play multiple positions), need to compliment that with a good point guard and thinks De Wil and Carlino are equally important (De Wil great D, Matt more offense), likes who we have as guards and coming in as guards.  Still drilling the team on what good open shots means, but players are learning and doing better at figuring it out.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Well done RC83. Well done.

[River rat]

Switchables??!!
Jenga??!!
I need a shower....

Braveheart is waaaaay better than Gladiator.

I respect your opinion, but WAY better? come on. 

Thread hijacked?

I'll dial it back then...

Braveheart is waaaaay better than Gladiator.

True, but right now Mel Gibson is still politically incorrect. Gadiator did have Connie Nielsen going for it--and she was definitely at her hottest in Devil's Advocate. All things are relative.

[LAMUfan]

but there was nudity in brave heart, not in gladiator right?  so that negates the hotness factor

Unless you are talking about men's bare asses, I don't recall any nudity in Braveheart.

You're complaining?

Pretty sure Murron popped those Highland Puppies out though?

[MU82]

Gladiator is a fave and I can't help but watch several minutes of it every time I'm flipping around the channels and I land on it.

I only saw Braveheart once. Thought it was fine but not great. And I can't bring myself to watch even one minute of any movie involving one of the most raging anti-Semites on the planet.

Not complaining...they just weren't particularly sexy in that context; just a bunch of dirty, pale guys mooning the enemy.  Also, it's not the kind of nudity most of you menfolk get excited about, either.

I don't remember seeing any Murron  nakedness, but then again, I see naked boobs every day, so it is not a big deal to me.

[keefe]

Do you have evidence to substantiate these sightings?

[LAMUfan]

the scene by the water after they get married I believe, female nudity for sure, its cut out on television obviously, and it is always on TV so that might by why you don't remember.  Either way I was joking.

Yeah, right up there with Al Sharpton.....whoops, we digress.

Do they have to be trilogies?  If not:

Aliens

Terminator 2

Now you've put images rattling around the minds of a bunch of loser male message board posters.  Just like creepy Rob Lowe.

Don't forget the partial frontal moon.

Reminds me of my favorite story regarding edited movies.  I had a VHS of "The Blues Brothers" that I had never taken out of the box.  One winter day when my 3 and 5 year old kids were going stir crazy in the house, I popped it into the VCR and said, "Here, watch this.  It's got good music in it."

Of course, I had been watching that movie on basic cable and network TV for over a decade at that point, and forgotten about the editing.  I was in the kitchen when I heard the Jake and Elwood shouting the F word as The Penguin beat them with a ruler.  I came flying into the family room, saying, "You know that's a very bad word, and you should never ever say it!"

Of course, it was closing the barn door after the cow had already gotten out.

Scarface on TV was my favorite, when they are asking him about the scar her responds something like "how do you get a scar like this from eating p****?", and the TV version "how do you get a scar like this from eating pineapple?"

I don't know, pineapples are sharp man, watch out scarface

Worst swear dubbing ever is in "High Fidelity". Everyone calling everyone else an "airhole".

I take that back. That's second place.  First place is "Kill Bill Vol. 1.  "My name is Buck and I like to *party*"

Similarly, I must have seen Shawshank Redemption 12x on cable growing up. Had no idea how much cursing was in the actual movie until I bought the DVD.
