Nice stats in the play-offs.

I like the "He enjoyed excelled" typo in a national release statement!

yeah, but my grandmother could play basketball at Penn State. She wouldn't start, but she'd definitely be in the rotation.

Sorry, Stout, that comes from a Pitt (grad school) alum. But, I think it's safe to say basketball is not their strong suit.

He likely played center (at Penn St.)...

Nice.

25 years of age is good to hear.

The fact he was starting by the end of the year is good to hear.

Hill won't be our starting CB (eventhough he did well last year) is good to hear.


Nice!

Hey, lay off Renaldo. He's the best damned slow, short CB in the NFL Rugby.

This is good news though. Very good.

Dude, NOOOO hard feelings there...we had a thrilling home victory in the postseason NITs over Miami (came from like 23 down at the half) and beat the Tar Heels in the tourney one year (Crispin brothers, baby!), but a basketball school we ain't.

Pitt, on the other hand, plays just well enough to lose. You'll never call Pitt ***********...'cause they choke on the big one!

Kick arse', glad we got a solid guy in there. Would asking for Vincent be greedy?


Also would LOVE to see Rudd here!

Isn't basketball a game for the kids that can't quite play football?
Sorry, basketball is lame.

Yeah, I became a Carolina fan when Jeff Lebo (Carlisle) went there, so that PSU win really got me.

And, I agree with you about Pitt. I would not pick them for the Final 4 for sure. Too many long scoring droughts, and more importantly for trying to win the whole thing, their free throw shooting is brutal.

But, enough hoops. Go Cards! Keep up the good work.
