Groom Duane Wilson as PG NOW

[willie warrior]

Yeah, but did he play in high school???

Your pledge to stop responding to Ners did not last very long, Sultan.

Umm, umm, frog legs!

[GGGG]

I didn't respond to Ners.

[willie warrior]

I didn't respond to Ners.

No you did not, but we all know who the slam was intended for. Don't try to be cute, because it ain't.

[NersEllenson]

I suppose that I wouldn't be shocked that this happened, but I'd be interested to know how you heard about it.

By listening to Dickie Simpkins call about 25 of our games in the past 2 years and never having much of anything complimentary to say, and then out of the blue, he just couldn't and wouldn't shut up about the player.  Use some common sense.  Plus the praise is so over the top, it lacks credibility.

The former Villanova coach who rarely calls our games, Lappas, was incredulous watching how Creighton defended the player.

Ners I have a tiger rock I'll sell you....keeps tigers away.  Good deal if you are interested

Maybe because Derrick is playing better this season than last season?

Its really never the simple answer for you is it? Always a plot.

That was your first mistake.

The second half was much more pleasant on mute.  I think I'll do it every time unless Raff or Donny Marshall has the call.

He is playing better this year. He was absolutely awful last year, this year he's been mediocre to average on his best nights. Great kid and all that other stuff, just not a PG who's going to lead a team anywhere but the bottom of the league standings. For reference, check where we finished last year and currently sit now.

Today, Derrick had a nice first half and even had a quasi dunk.  Second half was awful.  Same sequence as the SJU game.  Juan had a tough game again today as well.  Our returning seniors are what they are.  Great representatives of MU with undeniable great effort.  Just lack great overall skills.  That is reflected in the Ws-Ls, unfortunately.  They are what they are and there have not been been a lot of immediate and ready alternatives.  Enjoy the development of the young guys and move on to next year.  I've been following MU for 60 years now.  No reason to get down on these kids. They are what they are and the program is in transition.  Let's G Warriors.

[GooooMarquette]

Quasi dunk?  Is that like a bad assist?

[Dawson Rental]

Quasi dunk?  Is that like a bad assist?

The play by play guy called it a trifecta.  He got the dunk, the foul, and White got taken out of the game after fouling Derrick.

Geez, Simpkins is a bad commentator.  What gets me is when he sounds like a 15 year old girl with his "OMG", and "hashtag ..." after a nice play by someone. 

[brewcity77]

Pretty sure "did he play in high school" has become Scoop's most common and ridiculous meme.

Hashtag has become the new buzz word for the socially connected wannabes. It means absolutely nothing.

[HutchwasClutch]

That's exactly what I mean with Simpkins, it's like he's trying to impress the 20 somethings, and he just sounds ridiculous.

Actually, it means they don't know what a number sign is.

I not sure why you thought the second half was worse than the first. I believe he made two layups in the second half. Derrick also often was guarding the big center. The guy sitting behind me said he thought that Derrick look like an ankle bitter guarding Smith. A 6-2 215 pound player having to guard a 6-10 350lb player is going to take a toll on the rest of his game. It was too bad that Smith became ineligible last year, because I really wanted to see a matchup between him and Gardner.

Awesome!

[chapman]

Seriously, we need to start winning some games just to avoid being assigned the D team.  Other than Donny Marshall, the announcers we've had lately are terrible.

I enjoy it when Simpkins covers our games. He takes the time to understand our kids.
