3 years 19 weeks ago	Still Fun	This team is still fun to watch in my opinion, and that is really all I ask for at this point. I honestly didn't think we took too many bad three's. We are going to live and die by the outside shot, clearly, and while this may lead to a few disappointing losses, it could also lead to a few upsets on hot nights. This team is clearly limited and I would be happy with any tourney seed and a 1st round loss. I love following a real basketball team however.
3 years 20 weeks ago	Merritt	Merritt seems to be a calming influence on the floor. That is something that cannot be measured by the stats. Grady is much, much improved, but he still is a little bit "wild". Grady is a more dangerous player, but I think Merritt sets up the offense better and makes quite a few little plays that are hidden from the stat sheet. BTW, remember that Grady probably could have played FB in college. Probably would be a good slot receiver or kick/punt returner. Granted I've only seen mainly West Michigan kids play high school football, but Grady was one of the most explosive running backs I've ever watched.
3 years 28 weeks ago	my richrobots story	I ordered a shirt back in July (the Grand Rapids shirt, not Mgostore, but...). Initially they said it was out of stock and that I'd receive it in a few weeks. I said ok. My credit card was charged at this point. So a month later, I emailed them because I had not received my shirt...no answer. Continued to email them...no answer. Finally, in early October, I wrote a more nasty email, and this time it went through. They said my previous emails went as spam, I say yeah right. So anyways, after a few pleasant reminders, they finally refunded me in late October and also said that they'd send me my shirt complementary. Still haven't received a shirt of course, although I do have a usps tracking number...which says that it hasn't been sent. I don't think they actually make shirts. They just scam people. Bottom line, never ever deal with richrobots, but if you did order a shirt, you should be able to get your money back in time.
3 years 35 weeks ago	richrobots are terrible	Brian, you need a new shirt provider, ASAP. I ordered a shirt from richrobots in mid-July (not from mgostore, sorry), paid for it, and still have not received it. I've emailed them numerous times asking for an explanation, but I get no response. Bottom line, they run a pretty shady business if you ask me.
3 years 40 weeks ago	Re: ACC	I really think Wake deserves a spot in the top 25.  They are returning one of the top defenses in the nation and are pretty solid all around.  The ACC is tough to figure right now, but Wake will be able to shut people down all year long with that defense.
3 years 40 weeks ago	well	I doubt Rodriguez would be gushing over the team no matter what they do in practice.  Balas posted a RR press conference quote from a year ago and it was the same type of coachspeak.  Personally, I think he is sandbagging a little bit.  Feint praise is about all a coach will give this time of year.  Excited about Shaw, McGuffie, and Odoms.  Sure, they will be green, but they are fast, fast, fast.
3 years 44 weeks ago	thanks	Thanks for your perspective and even though I am no expert in yesterday's or today's recruiting, what you said about actors on the red carpet rings true in my head.  My problem is that some of these kids think they are stars before they ever step foot on campus.  They are sort of mini celebraties.  Maybe that's how I just perceive it, but I think times have changed a bit in that respect.  BTW, I just recently moved to north carolina, in winston-salem, and love it.
3 years 44 weeks ago	honestly	Honestly, I sort of wish that we could go back to the days where we didn't know anything about incoming freshmen until they were on campus for fall practice. Even 10 years ago, all I knew about incoming freshmen were local kids or conversations like "hey, I heard we got a good running back", etc... All this hype and speculation and message board rumors just is not good at any level, for the kid or the university. However, this is probably an impossibility at this stage and I understand how curious recruiting can be for fans/vital for the program. Just my thought for the day I guess.
3 years 45 weeks ago	Calvin Bell	Ahh the forgotten 2001 season. I also enjoyed the "calvin bell reverse". We need a new designated reverse guy, I nominate any of the small, electron guys like odoms, trob, or shaw.
