So two four stars already, 2014 gonna be our highest rated class ever?
In my opinion, it'll take a lot to match the hype and rating that the Lucas Barnes/Jermaine Walker/Johnny Hemsley/Mario Bland/Vernon Jennings class got.
And that was almost completely because of Barnes and Walker. As what's-his-face in the WEZ would say, "Dammit, mane...." How good would the last Tim James team and the Sweet 16 team have been had those two not had their problems?
Anyway... I was thinking about it while freezing my *** up here in Durham the last three days -- anyone else catch how the PBP announcer (sorry, don't watch ESPN enough to keep announcer's names straight, although heaven help whoever has to sit next to ****ie Eyeball) made it a point after returning from one of the timeouts to say how it was a nice, warm, 76-degree day?
Yeah. Larranaga's going to make this place a destination. Solid coach with a solid team and actually getting butts in the stands now... Add some nice weather to that, ,and, geez, come on down!
Speaking of the attendance, I remember the game we lost to Cornell way back in the mid-1990s where, I'm telling you, if I wasn't the only student at the game, I was **** close to it. It was during winter break, but STILL. I can't see that happening with Lord Jim here.
You know what else would be sweet? Getting one of those transfers who have a year of eligibility left and who wouldn't have to sit out a year because we offer a graduate program that their current school doesn't. Because we need a couple of big men for next year and the last thing we can afford right now is a huge drop-off, as temporary as it would be.
