I have watched the Gorloks since the bad Ron Roberts years. 

Did you travel up to Wisconsin to see them play Wisconsin Stevens Point in the Sweet Sixteen round in 2002? 

Regretably I could not make it to that game but I was at the Lakeland game at Grant.  That was a fun time, the crowd kept cheering "we got Barke."  Those spahn and stuhlman years were fun to watch, and the last truly good years at Webster 

I was listening to Blessid Union of Souls.  Great CD!!!  After that I went to listening to some good christian rock. 

I have watched the Gorloks since the bad Ron Roberts years. 

Wow I did not realize that a man driving from St. Louis to Springfield was that big of a deal.  I love that fact that I must be lieing since i drove to watch Webster play, without knowing any circumstances that would lead me to the springfield area.  So I will give you a play by play. 

3:25 left fontbonne gyms
3:30 got into my car (sorry I had to park a little far away and I do not walk that fast)
3:31 turned on my car
3:32 Backed my car out of my parking spot.
3:34 made a rt on big bend.
3:38 made a rt on Forest park parkway took it to through the city and hoped on highway 40
4:11 took I-55 towards Indianapolis (sorry got hungry and made a pit stop)
5:54 arrived at game. 

I will be more than happy to tell you what I was listening to and who I talked to on the phone is you need to know. 

Hey I am a dedicated fan. 

Now i do not want to sound like I am a Maryville Fan. I am amused how that everyone complains about how Maryville's Coach complains and does all his antics but no one has mentioned the antics of Fontbonne's Coach yesterday. 

I had the pleasure of making it to the game since my gorloks did not play until 6pm and was appalled at how FU coach got into the officials face after a call towards the end of the game.  He lit up the official. Now he should have received  a Technical.  I was amazed at the composure of the official.  Now that was not the end of it, after the game the FU coach RAN AFTER THE OFFICIAL DOWN THE HALL.  This is unacceptable.  So I think if we are going to complain about one coaches antics we have to complain about this too.  At least Maryville's coach does not pull that crap.  Just my opinion. 

On a more positive note, it was a very intense game.  Two teams putting everyone out on the floor.  It was great to watch. 

On a sad note, my Gorloks looked horrible.  Without a true point guard they are going to have trouble down the stretch this year.  I hope they can find a PG for next year. 

The parody continues in the SLIAC with Principia beating up on Fontbonne by 18 last night.  Every night anyone can beat anyone. 

Tonights games

Maryville over Westminster by 15 points.  If Maryville plays like they have been the last couple of games it could be over 20. 

Mac over Greenville by 10 points. 

Eureka over Webster by 8 points. Webster just isn't playing well at all anymore.  I think Eureka will lead the entire game.  if the threes are falling for Webster it might be a game, but without a true point guard it will be hard for them to win.

I doubt anyone is interested but here are my picks for the rest of this weeks games.

MacMurray over Lincoln Christian
I would agree with this.  If Lowe is on then this might be a twenty/thirty point win.

Maryville Over Prin
     I do believe this will be a close game though. Even though Speer has done a lot of work under the boards this year, but i think Wilheml will be able to hold her down. i think Maryville is too quick and scores so much that they will take the W espically not if but when Wilhelm and Wemlinger come to play.
If Maryville shows up, it will be another 30+ victory.  If Maryville shoots from the 3pt line like it has the last couple it could be a 10 point game at most.

Westminster Over Webster
     Even though Webster has an advantage when it comes to rebounding, i dont think they will be able to hold down Westminsters 3 pointers. Webster is getting to that point where they are going to be in must win situations.
I do not think this will be closer than 10 points.  Webster is not the same team that lost the last time but they do not have a good enough PG to get the ball across half-court against Backes.  Auer has no left and will get picked everytime.  I think Stanfill is physical enough that Reily will get into foul trouble from trying to go over her back. 

Blackburn Over Fontbonne
    With the loss by 8 at Fontbonne earlier in the year i think blackburn will come in hungry and defend their home court. blackburn is a much wiser team now because these girls look like they are finally starting to mesh. although the last game these two played was a street ball game, catch and go type of game, i think blackburn will prevail this time.
I am going to take FU in this game by 4.  I think the guards of FU will give Blackburn fits and if FU is on from beyond the arc it will be more than that. 

Eureka over Greenville
     Byard and Crum will do enough rebounding and scoring to take down Banal and the Panthers..
  Who knows in this game?  I think it will depend on who shoots the best from outside the arc.
