Now his upper body is as big as his behind. As a result, he looks a little slower out there, and he's playing D more flat-footed than ever before. He also looks like the effort and confidence are in the dumps together. Hopefully they will come out together, as well. <br /><br />If he wanted to bulk up and play on the block occasionally, that would be acceptable. But he rarely plays with his back to the basket, even though he creates a serious mismatch when he does. While he is slower than most swingmen, he is also stronger. And if they put a 4 on him, he would be quicker. <br /><br />Which brings us to the problem of him shooting 3s. He wants to be a star, he wants more than 2 points per shot... he wants points without working for them in the offense. He hasn't really improved his play since he has come to BC back in 2007... same one move, same dribbling skills.... same shuffle of the feet before he starts moving (even if they don't call it on him as often as they used to). <br /><br />He just doesn't look like he is in the flow out there. Hopefully the team will be more cohesive as the time goes on, and guys will be more comfortable in their roles. Players need to start settling into roles pretty soon if we are going to go on a run. I hope that Sanders is a part of that run... but I also hope that Skinner sits his butt on the bench if he doesn't buy into the system, and the greater good (with the politics on this blog recently... anyone care to debate the idea of communism?). He weighs us down too much with his laziness and lack of mental commitment to the team goal. <br /><br />With all that being said.... I have a positive feeling in my stomach for the first time in awhile with this team.... let's get a big road win on Saturday at VA TECH!!!matthew2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13672449714617109618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-80359199424624176452010-01-20T21:43:02.743-05:002010-01-20T21:43:02.743-05:00Agree to disagree on the political crap.

But, free country and all that...<br /><br />I guess I'll have to start capitalizing my posts. I feel guilty. <br /><br />Shall we get back to attacking each other over the above-averageness of the BC athletic program? <br /><br />Only other thing I'll say about the Miami win is I'm skeptical that we've turned any corner, but remain hopeful that someone will tell Rakim that the season started two months ago. If there are any current BC students in class with him, give him a nudge just to make sure he's still alive.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-55310850819084443732010-01-20T19:59:39.840-05:002010-01-20T19:59:39.840-05:00At 2:53 PM, matthew2 said...

It's exacly that type of liberal elitist stupidity that won Brown the election. Keep it up, numbnuts. Frankly, I can't believe my degree is from the same place as that of a guy who can't find the caps key when starting a sentence. And to quote Olberman is to quote a mental patient. The guy is the biggest douche on TV and not nearly as bright as he thinks he is.Eagle1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08095107420308533734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-70739365917430950652010-01-20T19:32:34.693-05:002010-01-20T19:32:34.693-05:00i like the tin man.i like the tin man.blockpartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586091271357112989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-34682313154556802142010-01-20T17:50:29.311-05:002010-01-20T17:50:29.311-05:00This is my last comment on the issue, because you&...This is my last comment on the issue, because you're too insufferably annoying to reasonably debate anything with.

Don't be so proud of this guy. I know exactly how the Dixie Chicks felt about bush.<br /><br />Here is how Keith Olbermann aptly described your hero Scott Brown:<br /><br />“In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives.

The general consensus is that not only did Brown give an eloquent speech last night, he also destroyed Coakley in their debate.<br /><br />While I in no way agree with the politics of Senator Kerry or the late Tip O'Neill, I am not embarrassed in any way that are alumni of BC, nor would I consider them "stupid" just because they happen to share different opinions than I do. I'm PROUD that my alma mater produces people that succeed at such high levels.<br /><br />Furthermore, your statement illustrates what's wrong with the Democratic party in general, and also why Coakley lost. You assume that any person who thinks differently than you (i.e. a Republican) is stupid and uneducated. This unfounded arrogance was the downfall of Coakley, and will be downfall of this current administration. The American people are voicing their frustrations, I doubt they are all "stupid".<br /><br />4:57 PMRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918773815288340624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-4432567146163395312010-01-20T16:57:58.696-05:002010-01-20T16:57:58.696-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918773815288340624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57454940925852138722010-01-20T16:56:54.853-05:002010-01-20T16:56:54.853-05:00yes, only liberal-minded people care about others....yes, only liberal-minded people care about others. right. a monopoly on compassion. of course.<br /><br />could we get back to what is really dividing this nation? al skinner's 'stache, spaz's 'stache, and the remarkable underachievement (thus far) of a bball team that should be better than it is against any team not named miami.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-36849737081911654732010-01-20T16:37:08.893-05:002010-01-20T16:37:08.893-05:00what, you mean compassionate liberal minded alumni...what, you mean compassionate liberal minded alumni that only care about other people besides their rich white relatives?matthew2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13672449714617109618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-25632897707569637832010-01-20T16:28:14.339-05:002010-01-20T16:28:14.339-05:00@matthew2:
