Lord, what are we paying Haase, when we have the Gorilla for free?

We seem to exceed our percentages on stepping out of bounds.

Money means nothing to me. I have always been free. Call Coach Haase and ask him if he will come mow your grass, for you, for free. Now, call me, and ask me if I will come mow your grass, for you, for free, and then see who shows up first and/or doesn't. All of the money in the world, including the forty thousand dollars a month a coach makes, twelve months out of the year, to pull his hair out, and turn his hair gray, recruiting, won't get your grass mowed, or win games. Lets just say I am just as good at mowing grass as Coach Haase, or anybody, or any basketball player, for that matter.

Referring back to my original challenge to a fellow Poster for a game of 15, by ones, make it take it, I was also insinuating that no matter whether how tall or short, or rich or poor, the challenge, I might could just out smart you for twenty five minutes of a pick up game and be the first one to make it to.....15, win by 2, by the way.

Have a great Sunday! My grass is mowed. I practice, a lot.

Yes, I do recall, earlier on, there have been a few problems of big feet, and sometimes, even, two left feet. I have two left feet. Maybe they should put a cage around the court, so they can't step out of bounds and, so we can rename our team TheCAGERS.

I blame myself. This is what I get for not putting my comment in blue letters.

I wish I'd known this before I mowed yesterday.

You can tell the team in getting better. The progress I'm seeing on the court is encouraging, even if it isn't translating to wins yet.

I did see progress on the bench: Haase has actually learned to choke out the words "tiiiiiimmmme ouuuuuuut" even though I'm sure it's painful. But at least this time, six-point runs didn't turn into 20-point runs.

+1! The 7-0 run by USM could have done it for us...but luckily he stopped it before it took us out for good. I also loved how Coach went nuckin futs and had to be restrained by Richie Riley. That ref was a Finebaum. The other wouldn't call anything, and the third was our good friend Ted.

Ted wasnt as much of a factor as he has been in the past, thank goodness. Now on to more plusses+++ . I have to give kudos to Q last night, and the team as a whole for getting the ball past half court much better than they did in Hburg. Either USM let up or we schemed better than last game against them,, Im thinking we schemed better to combat their pressure. I loved the fight in our team last night and also against UTEP.. Keep playing with that much fight, and we WILL win more.

Our team believes they can win.

Yes, the UAB Team does believe they can win. I believe they can, too, even against the best of teams. I hope that they are improving, individually, and in team play, to the point that they can sustain the very high level of intensity, effort, and energy, that they have displayed in the past two games. That, we are proud of. Sooner, or later, that consistent level of play is going to pay off with some unexpected wins, and hopefully it will come sooner than later, and carry over into the four games in four days, conference tournament, and it eventually be dubbed as the most gruelling but most satisfying four days in their young lives.

This season, the conference tournament is the only post regular season set of games that they can look forward to, and I hope they will be well prepared to win a few of those. There is an old saying about conference play. The saying is that "It is very hard to beat a team three times in one season", and I hope that UAB will be able to beat a few teams that have beat them twice. And the teams that UAB could possibly lose twice to, in regular season conference play, are UCF, Memphis, Southern Miss., East Carolina, and Marshall.

I love conference tournaments, especially going in to the tournament being the proverbial underdogs, not expected to win. The great thing about conference tournaments is that any team can win.

You came so close, to posting a positive view of the team, well as close as you get, and then you had to close by writing.
