1st game of the season tonight - Thomas More vs Kentucky 7 PM on SEC cable network; hopefully, a better outcome than the game against Henry VIII a few seasons ago.

Well not really, ronk, as for neither team does the game actually count. Yes, it is on TV as an exhibition, but let's not call that the first game of the season. :)

Kentucky won in case anyone wonders and the D3 kids (many of whom probably grew up dreaming of playing for Kentucky) had an amazing experience playing one of NCAA basketballs greatest historical programs in Rupp Arena, one of college basketballs great venues.

Yes, it was a game, whether preseason, exhibition, or in-season and I think a highlight for the Thomas More team and fans. I know the highlight of my limited career was playing in the mecca of college basketball(at the time), the U of Penn Palestra in the opening game of a triple-header involving 3 of the Philly Big 5(Temple, St. Joe, and Penn) and seeing how the other half lived. It was even a thrill eating in the Penn athletic dining facility for our pregame meal. ;D

I am not trying to throw a bucket of cold water on anything... however, I am realistic that when people make it seem like a real game ... there ends up being a lot of confused people who contact myself or others trying to understand a whole mess of questions. Just trying to keep people within the lines sometimes to help those who we welcome new every year to the division.

So if it wasn't a real game, we talkin' bout practice?

You can claim that all you want... I know what I was saying.

Dave - anytime someone leads off a sentence like that (bolded emphasis is mine) the "however"  and whatever follows is really the same thing as doing what you just said you weren't going to do.  At the very least the "however" implies that....

No... my opening words are an effort to counter. I am not doing something... I am saying such and such. Reverse the wording, same message.

It depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is.

Hey guys, can we get back to basketball?

Too bad that poll is not out yet.

Patience, my friend. Patience. In the preseason, we always release one poll and give it a couple days to breathe on its own before releasing the other. We are on the same timeline as always. Men's is coming. Voting has concluded. It is okay.
