Title: versus George Washington tomorrow
Post by: Tarheel on November 21, 2008, 01:56:14 PM
I see that we're playing George Washington tomorrow at 1:00 cst.  Unfortunately I can't make the game but maybe I can convince my local sports bar to try and find it somewhere on cable, satellite, or other means.  Since I won't be able to get online either I hope you locals try to see it; I remain guardedly optimistic as usual.

I also see that Auburn All American Sir Charles Barkley will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Sunday.  Long overdue in my opinion; having personally met him (along with Saniflush on one occasion) I think he's a stand up guy (regardless of his support of The Obama).

Anyway, WAR EAGLE!  Let's beat them Colonials!   :wave:  (A little pep rally.)

The story about Sir Charles:

Cool.  Maybe there will be some other X'ers there.  I'm going to make it down to a basketball game one of these days.  Hope this one goes our way.

Got down by 15 in the first half and had to rally to win against a cup of cake. 

My soul has that achy feeling again.  Can we fire Jay Jacobs today?

With all due respect, George Washington is a perennial tourney team from the Atlantic 10. Not quite sure the term cupcake describes them accurately; they'd be more like a Little Debbie oatmeal creme cake team.

With all due respect, I have no idea who George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Marquis DeSade or Marie Antionette are in terms of basketball.  I was merely feeling soul achy and I think Jay Jacobs is a tool of the first order. The first.

And I didn't call them a cupcake, I specifically referred to them as a cup of cake.  Difference.

We beat them by 4 last year, and I thought we were going to have a good season. George Washington's not a bad team at all. Like I said, though, we beat them last year too, so I'm still not sure how this season will play out...

Yes, I'm looking for some consolation here, but Mercer lost in overtime to Georgia Tech yesterday.  I watched the first 10 minutes or so of that game and Mercer was up about 19-7 when I turned it off.

I think that Saniflush set the tone with guarded optimism.  I need something to console me after this rotten political season.

Glad to see that we won another one anyway...on to playing BETHUNE-COOKMAN tomorrow...whoever the fuck they are!
