The bobcats have a lot of young guys on the court, often.

Im sure Tony (4th yr here) and KK (3rd on campus) will have some pregame comments in locker room.

Win it for the gipper!

Does anyone think Saul will let Drew Crabtree start in his final home game?

Any word on whether Tony will suit up and make an appearance like Rico did a couple years ago? I thought that provided an emotional spark for the team.

JC did with David McKinely if I recall. It's possible.

Funny stuff on MiamiHawktalk:

"Why We Should Keep John Cooper

Last night's win was huge, and I think we need to stop focusing on the negatives and look at some of the positives. Such as:

-Cooper has won at least 1 road game in all 5 seasons.

-In his time at Miami, JC has a .833 winning % (against non-D1 opponents).

-He has lost to XU, UC, and UD a combined total of just 5 times in 5 seasons.

-Cooper has been just one win away from reaching the MAC semis on three different occasions.

-He has had multiple seasons in which he lost fewer than 20 games."

Yeah, sometimes the sarcasm detection system is faulty....


This season, by the way, is the last time they were even respectable as a program.

Nice. That is some good writing. Creates the story. A budding young writer. Read lots of sports but that one is pretty good. Not just because of the subject but they tell the story well. Go Scripps!

Seeing that old video makes me appreciate when we had a student section and a high level atmosphere in the Convo.

Edit to say - two things we WON'T have this week.

Learned a long time ago...when it comes to a rivalry those numbers do not mean much. Put your foot on their neck and do not let them up.

Miami is 5-5 vs Akron the past five seasons, we're 3-9. Craziness.
