Daily Independent Preseason Issue

[spindoc]

The best part of basketball season is looking at the heights listed for the players. I personally am just a shade over 6' and last night I stood beside a guy that is listed at 6'1'' and I am no doubt 4 or 5 inches taller than him. I fell over when I saw this.

I've never understood that, wouldn't it be better to underestimate? If I though I was facing a kid 5'8" and he showed up 6'1", wouldn't that be better? Or are some kids boosted by the overexaggeration? Do coaches feel better looking at their rosters if the heights are somewhat inflated? Just my 6'1" thoughts!

My pop said the bigger they are the harder they fall. He was 5'9''. I think he was telling me that he could still make me fall.

How long did it take to dust off those trophies?

OUCH!

[Rickyp]

OUCH!

 

80 years of dust would be difficult to get off, don't you think?

Probably a long time, because there are so many. You really dont want to start this debate.....

[TomcatChick41]

OUCH!

 

I know, think of how much Pledge it takes to dust a 100+ trophies that symbolize decades of dominance!

Thats right, we were winning championships before RHCS was even establised.

GIAT is correct. I think all of us should take great pride in the 1928 team as well as the championship teams of the 1930s and the one in 1961. Of course, as well as being before the existence of Rose Hill, they were also before the existence of Blazer. Tradition and trophies? I'll be the first to applaud old, and now defunct, AHS for its accomplishments.

 

I was also impressed with CCNY and NYU.

Thumbs up on Ashland's past. Now back to the future. Heck, I'll settle for the present.

Tell me that you aren't at a loss for words, 6shot should win an award!:lol:

I have a question, how long should an organization feel proud about banners and trophies? It seems to be a point with differing opinions.

I agree. But you started it. :lol: :thumb:
