I saw some letters in the sky around 5:15 above Midtown East. Couldn't make out any words though. Apparently it is some Turks flying around denying the Armenian Holocaust. Best 4/20 ever

She and Bill Hemmer are in Philly for a Fox Election Town Hall. Martha made a side trip out to the campus (she's a big Nova fan) to interview students. She talked about the team and showed a big National Championship banner hanging on campus. All the kids were wearing NC gear. More great publicity for Nova!

News of Wally Ellenson's status with the Marquette basketball program has roiled through Milwaukee and Wisconsin basketball circles for the past 48 hours. Those unfamiliar with the details can catch up at link below:

He will continue to receive an athletic scholarship, but it is a track and field scholarship (he is a high jumper). The implicit rational is that Wojo needs a 13th scholarship to attract a #4 and Wally is a #2/#3 at best, so Wojo yanked the scholly. 2 sport athletes are uncommon but not unheard of, so I assume the problem is not which sport underwrites his education, but rather the conflict over seasons...correct?

DA DA MORE THAN HELD HIS OWN AGAINST THE NO ONE RANKED PLAYER IN AMERICA.......TEN POINTS.....THREE BLOCKED SHOTS......THIRTEEN REBOUNDS IN A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE......GREAT DEFENSE....HELD BAMA TO A MERE SIX POINTS.....AND 8 REBOUNDS.........TEAM FINAL EDGES OUT A TERRIFIC PSA TEAM........LONNIE.WALKER WITH TWENTY POINTS...... D RUSSELL MORE THAN HELD HIS OWN AGAINST QUADE GREEN..........GREEN ALSO PLAYED VERY WELL....BECOMING A TRUE POINT GUARD...BRANDON...RANDOLPH WAS MAYBE THE BEST SHOOTER ON THE COURT...VERY GOODGAME......DA DA ...TOP SIXTY....BEST GAME OF EYBL...THIS YEAR SO FAR....LONNIE WALKER AND BRANDON RANDOLPH........BEST THREE POINT SHOOTERS......QUADE GREEN.....SOME REALLY NICE PASSESS....EMERGING AS A TRUE POINT GUARD BUT CAN STILL SHOOT WITH THE BEST.......RUSSELL...CAN ABSOLUTELY PLAY FOR SOME BIG EAST SCHOOL....IMHO.........

CHRIS LYKES SHOOTING PERCENTAGES HAVE BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF SENSATIONAL AFTER SEVEN EYBL GAMES.........CHRIS IS AVERAGING 18.4. POINTS PER GAME.......AMONG THE BEST....AND HE IS DOING THAT PLAYING ONLY 23.5 MINUTES PER GAME.........BUT THE IMPRESSIVE PART IS THAT HE IS SHOOTING.......FIFTY SIX PERCENT...FROM TWO POINT ATTEMPTS.......AND FOURTY EIGHT PERCENT...FROM BEYOND THE THREE POINT MARK.......COMBINED....THIS IS....EXTREMELY EFFICIENT SHOOTING.........LYKES IS THE BEST FIVE FOOT SIX AND A HALF PLAYER IN THE WORLD TODAY......THERE MAY BE A BETTER FIVE FOOT SEVEN OR FIVE FOOT EIGHT PLAYER IN THE WORLD.......BUT I DECLARE......CHRIS LYKES...IS THE GREATEST FIVE FOOT SIX AND A HALF PLAYER......IN THE WORLD.... TODAY..........INCLUDING CAMBODIA......INCH FOR INCH....THE GREATEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD....

Tonight, Chris Lykes with 16 pts 3 steals. Lykes is tearing up EYBL so far. Averaging 16ppg. No other player on his STACKED team is averaging in double figures. Harvey at about 9.5. Oh and Chris is shooting almost 60% from the field ( yes 60%)and 40% from 3. Again, this is on a team with all D1 kids. Amazing start for him.

Dada had 4 pts and 3 rebounds tonight.

Cam Reddish with 20pts 8 rebs

Walker with 12

Wow would I love a Lykes, Walker backcourt.

I have no idea of Josh's status and don't presume anything,but from the little we were able to see Donte early in the year,he sure seemed quick and intense,with decent size to guard.....I know that his ability to handle the ball will greatly impact his PT.

Lengthy but interesting article about our fans' contribution during the championship.

So Emile is approved to return for a 5th year - Duke petitioned the ACC and the NCAA....

Whats taking so long for Dylan to find out?

I am not saying Duke did anything wrong or even got special treatment....

Just seems Dylan went for approval 2 months ago -

Granted a 5th year.

any chance there is a link to watch the event again? My kids have been asking me to see henry and the other players senior speeches. they have Ryan's and DO but not the other seniors….just curious.

Thanks

This article is on the NewsRoundup but I happen to love Ryan Fannon and I think this deserves its own thread.

How long does it take for threads to fall off the board now? Never? There seems to be over a year of old stuff on the back of the board. Just wondering, since it's kind of a privacy thing. It was nice on the old board that threads went away after a few weeks.
