Leary called up Coach Marshall before this season over and over again and when WU couldn't fill the last home spot on the schedule, Winthrop took up Palm Beach Atlantic up on the offer and played them tonight. The result wasn't pretty (final score was 101-49) but PBA played hard the whole time...Hopefully Leary can get that program through this transition time because from everything i've heard, he's a first class guy and I'd like to see them do well (I also lived in West Palm Beach and I've had family work at that school).

WEF, Steph is a class act all the way. Of course I am biased since we are old roommates, teammates and best friends. He will get the job done down there in Palm Beach. He is a really good recruiter with connections in Texas so I expect them to do big things in the near future. Marshall gave them the business tonight it sounds like. Oh well. Its part of the process. I can't wait to get down to Rock Hill this season and check the boys out. I will have to IM you and look you and Realist up when I get there.

Stephon is having his kids take some medicine to help them play better down the road. Playing nearly all freshmen they are going to get beat up quite a bit this season. But if they can survive with their confidence somewhat intact, they will tough to handle later this season and next year.

Yeah, these types of games aren't easy to watch (or listen to) because you never like to see a team completely overmatched, but PBA battled hard in the second half (they were down by 40 or so at the half, so they played alright in the second). And it is tough for Marshall to 'ease up' in these situations since the backups have played just as strong as the starters so far this year, and WU only suits up 12 guys (2 players are redshirting) and only 1 is a walkon.

SCAR Wish I could meet you as well, but as of now, with the game being on a Thursday night, I don't see myself able to make the 2 1/2 hour trip up to Rock Hill to make it to the LU game... |

It was a similar story a week ago tonight here at Rice. But Stephon will have that program buzzing in no time.
