Does anyone have ESPN Insider and willing to post the Blue Ribbon previews for the Big South? I'm interested to see what they have to say about us.

I don't- but I'm betting there isn't much there. (Other than low expectations) LU is never automatically given any respect- we'll need a strong showing right out of the gate to open any eyes around the country.
Winthrop ("Gonzaga-Light") will doubtless get all the attention. At least initially.

I don't have Insider, but I will be getting the hardcopy of the Blue Ribbon guide, which should arrive to my house next week sometime. I'll pass on some of the info. when it comes in.

What does "LOL" mean when posted as seen above?

I've been thinking about my own question: "Laugh Out Loud"?

"Laughing out loud"
and I hate it when people use that or those cutsie smiley faces. Both of which I have started using to avoid misunderstandings. I hate myself.
But if I'm being mean I want everyone to know it.

GRM, you should do a search on AOL.com on instant message shorthand glossary of terms. It will tell you all you need to know about the abbreviated way we all like to talk...I had to do it when I got to AOL because everyone uses so much shorthand around here.

LOL doesn't mean "love our Liberty"? How could I have been so wrong?

Scar just keeps on glossing AOl on here.  I have Insider but I couldn't find the Big South link. They were already onto Southland tonight. |

Nevermind, I found a link on the Coastal board.
Since it is premium material, I will simply summarize:
Its the standard detailed rundown on who is back, who left and who is new (although they still have Rashad on the team). All the basic stuff we already know here on this board. They quote Coach Dunton several times.
It looks like they took our preseason prospectus and combined that with a phone interview with Coach. Nothing really relevatory.
Bottom line, they like our backcourt & bench/depth, but aren't high on our frontcourt or "intangibles" (whatever that means in this case).

SLY may get in trouble w/ the powers that be, so I'll do it instead and take the heat if need be:
you have to sign in to get the rest. Obviously I don't have a password or account.

I'm dissapointed. Last year, the write-up was so fawning it was like they were expecting us to make it to the final four.

there may be more fawning in the restricted area. Don't hold your breath.

Not much fawning. It primarily focuses on all the change in the roster
