Let's keep flying under the radar like that so when the season starts, we can sneak up and smack a few teams right in the chops! I have a gut feeling that these guys will start putting it together this year! Coach Orr won't stand for any less!

I don't give rat's pattouti about anything pre-season this year. (never really do anyhow) This season is all about finding a direction for the program that moves it forward. I think we'll see that. We've got some decent talent in several players. We've got a new staff with a new philosophy and we've got to see what that can do for us.

Personally, I believe we'll see some excitement that we haven't had in a while. I think we'll see some wins we didn't expect and maybe some losses we didn't expect too, but all-in-all, I think it's going to be a very VERY bright season for Falcon Basketball!

Lindy's can suck a Falcon egg!

These are always token pieces written by half-interested writers with spotty knowledge of the conference.

CMU? Giordon Watson? Com-on!

Never a disappointment under the radar although it is always nice to start on top and finish on top.

I believe another Bowling Green team was picked near the bottom of their respective conference because of a poor record despity a large number of returning contributors.............................................

I'm going to temper my enthusiasm, like windshield glass, because it's a long season with plenty of opportunities for wins or losses. :wink:

I don't think that is fair to say. There is one senior back I believe. A new coach could make the difference. Blackney won right away with Moe's team and Urban with Blackney's.

Grant's spot on.

This year cannot be about wins and losses. It's about finding direction.

Yo, money, love ya babe, but I'm gonna have to disagree. I think that the core of Hamblet, Clements, Miller, Marcshall, Moten, Knight, Polk , and Sims are a good core that I believe can compete to win the East. The former system is what sucked, not players!

Another thing to disagree with is the idea that this season isn't about W's and L's. It's ALWAYS about W's and L's.

Whew, it sure can be a lot of work keeping you guys straightened out! Thanks for your participation. :)

Yeah, and I hope to prove that he's not always right, too! :-D
