The word "Kummer" should be enough of a reason no to fire Capel during the season.

I said it last year, and I'll restate it. This is the guy I want for next year. I saw him be the man that followed the man at Randolph-Macon (Hal Nunnally), and he did a great job, even with Nunnally constantly showing up at games before he died. He didn't leave R-MC because of a fall-off in the pr...

We have talent, but no way of developing it or fitting the pieces together.

I just hope we play better than the band is today. The are badly out of tune.

On another note, DJ and Krimmins are doing the TV.

I remain convinced that our new "three guard attack" is a curse. Two straight games with this strategy; one lopsided loss to a bad UGA outfit and a near disaster *at home* against NGU. Two straight 16 percent shooting outings for the Burgess-Eaves-Hamilton trio. Not getting it done. Oy Vey, indeed!...

Looking for something favorable, I thought Ty Toney looked like he might have some real potential. Moves well, good size (more bulk than some freshmen), seemed to have a nice looking pull-up jump shot, hustled on defense. Obviously not a finished product, but I think he has some real upside. I have...

Can someone elaborate on the crime? Reread firemoose's post. That sums it up as well as anything. Canty has a court date next week and another next month.

That was ugly.

I think he was there before he went to Vandy. He came with Buzz from Vandy.

It is his job to At least put up a fight when it can kill a program.

It can and I think it will. APR for next year will prob. prevent us from going to NCAAs if we had the best season in history.

Where is Houston when you need him?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

But it pretty bad.

It is what happens when you take the low bid from the young contractor.

While I will not state what is here, as many here know Jay Canty has gotten himself into some off the court trouble. At this time the team or the school have not addressed this so far, allowing his academic ineligibility to be a punishment. As of Dec. 13, last day of exams, he will be eligible again...

We are in a world of hurt either way.

We should get a descent student crowd due to it being early on sunday and being right befre exams.

Two things became clear this weekend. One, there is no way Graham will ever suit up for Appalachian State, according to Brewster coach Jason Smith. And two, if the Mountaineers ever opt to release him, he’ll instantly become the best-available point guard in the country. And three, Appalachian Stat...
