Ummmm.... The Golden Girls have some very nice... uniforms. (How do I say that without sounding like a perverted old coot?!?!?)

Missing person alert: Purifoy.

8 minutes. zero points.

Rideau and Madison haven't played either (if I trust gametracker)
Redshirts?


I am starting to wonder if Purifoy is going to get written off like Hoopy did last year.

Perverted old coots can give fashion reviews too.

Madison in now.

Soccer update:
UAB wins last regular season game: 2-1 over Marshall.

Hope Marshall goes 0-2 against UAB this weekend.

Frasor is on the coaching staff. He comes across as a coach. His criticism of the team is more no nonsense. When they make mistakes, his frustration is more obvious. when they do well, his pride shows through.

Mitchell comes across as a mentor to the players. His criticism is more laid back and his frustration is more like "these kids today..." When they play well, he is more like a fan.

You're right... Frasor is very nitpicky like I would expect one of the coaches to be.

10:42 to go:
UAB 65 Columbia House records: 38

Yeah... When they show closeups of Haase and I see the floor, I really like it.

Well... So far, I like watching this team. Made some sloppy shots from outside, but they are pretty athletic and play hard.

Rideaux in the game now. All scholarship players have played.

Nice shot from Swing.

Swing is 4 for 4 from the three point range.

70-40 UAB over Columbus Day College.

I caught that too...

CJ with 17 points. Swing, Rucker and Frazier with 12 points.

Nice shot fake by Swing and pass-off.

"Unfortunately, he was standing out of bounds, so that is a UAB turnover."

BTW, Warm-ups are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

Frazier with a double double. 12 pts 10 assists.

Agreed. I'm enjoying Frasor's no-nonsense, straightforward assessment. I think he's a good example of why so many ex-coaches often do well in the broadcast booth.
