If Thurmond and Komives have solid performances, I think we can beat them.

Has anyone heard anything about the scrimmage results? Why are these so secretive?

That's AWESOME!!!!

We know nothing about the teams trip to toronto, nothing about the brown and orange scrimmage and nothing about this. Most secretive season ever.

Correction - YOU know nothing about the teams trip to Toronto and nothing about the Orange and Brown Scrimmage or about the Loyola scrimmage.

Falcon Fans on the other hand know about these things -

Too lazy to search for the trip to Toronto

No secrets or conspiracy theory on the scrimmage against Loyola. The scrimmages are off-the-books according to NCAA policy and there is nothing to report which is why the games are closed and the media and general public cannot attend.

transfer, those articles contain nothing but the most cursory information. They do not contain box scores or any significant detail about player performances, particularly our freshmen. Your gratuitously dickish response was uncalled for.

I disagree. I think it was entirely called for. The words "know nothing" were in the original post.

Sorry we know "very little" about the games other then that they existed. I did not write the exact prefect words.

Super dickish posts are in the house tonight....everybody just have a good time. Anal posters will make you lose your mind....Everybody just have a good time.

I have seen all of those. From those can you tell me what you think Anthony Henderson, Desmond Rorie, Chauncey Orr or Jehvon Clarke will give us this year? I think 50% of the people on this forum could have wrote those things without attending the game. The sports information department has not dropped a word about what happened at the brown and orange scrimmage. We have no idea about any of these players....way to get us excited about the season.

The NCAA a couple of years ago started allowing teams to drop a second exhibition game and instead play a closed scrimmage against another Division 1 team. It came around the time that they prohibited playing foreign teams or the Athletes in Action and such.

The reason for keeping it closed seems fairly obvious.

I haven no problem with it being closed, but there ought to be a way for the school to communicate what happened in the scrimmage. Closed doesn't have to mean not available to school personnel from the sports information office who could easily write up a summary.

Feel free to keep your discussions going, but I did want to pass along the NCAA rules regarding basketball closed door scrimmages:

NCAA Bylaw 17.3.3.1(a) "An informal practice scrimmage with outside competition . . . may occur at any point during the permissible playing and practice season . . . PROVIDED IT IS CONDUCTED IN PRIVACY AND WITHOUT PUBLICITY OR OFFICIAL SCORING. INDIVIDUALS OTHER THAN ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT STAFF MEMBERS AND THOSE NECESSARY TO CONDUCT A BASKETBALL PRACTICE SCRIMMAGE AGAINST OUTSIDE COMPETITION MAY NOT BE PRESENT DURING SUCH A SCRIMMAGE. The institution shall ensure that the scrimmage is free from public view. No class time shall be missed by basketball student athletes in conjunction with such a scrimmage."

Awesome, that makes sense. Any news on the 4 players that will be new to the falcons this year?

Is there any organization on the Earth that has as many stupid rules as the NCAA?

I don't believe it's possible.
