After a lackluster, though probably predictable opening weekend in the dreary midwest, the 0-2 William and Mary Tribe return to bucolic Williamsburg to host a pair of out-of-conference tilts. And G:TB picks up where we left off as the internet’s 3rd or 4th leading purveyor of obscure W&M hoops previews and arcana.
Wednesday, November 19 – Norfolk State @ William and Mary

Saturday, November 22 – Navy @ William and Mary
David Robinson’s not walking through that door. Neither is his brother, Chuck, who wasn’t nearly as good. Vernon Butler isn’t walking through that door, and if he did, I wouldn't recognize him. The Middies lost to W&M's conference brethren Towson by 18 to open their season. This is another one Danny Sumner, David Schneider, Peter Stein, and the boys should win easily.

Sumner's the only Tribe player averaging double figures after two games, and even he's only shooting 42.3% from the floor - which is admittedly better than the team's overall 40.6% mark. Newcomer and Arkansas transfer Sean McCurdy's dropped 8 dimes to date, but turned the ball over 10 times. The Tribe's only connecting on 26.3% of its 3-point attempts while yielding a 48.5% rate to their opponents. We're gonna chalk all these bleak numbers up to small sample size and assume that the good guys right the ship this week at home.
* - Overstated for effect, as a) we actually have no bearing on whether we get to taste anything in this metaphor, and b) there are probably limits to how far we’d go to taste this (again, metaphorical) nectar. Maybe not for Whitney, though, he’s pretty much a slave to his impulses.
do *not* do a google image search for 'spartan women'.
ReplyDeleteThat's also in Rhymo's wheelhouse...
ReplyDelete"LOST IN SPACE: Missing tool bag forces changes to Endeavour plans..."
ReplyDeleteMan, Bono fucks up everything.
"Sumner Schneider and Stein" is a convincing name for a law firm, but not for a troika of basketball players.
ReplyDeleteUnless it is the 1948 CCNY squad.
ReplyDeleteit's a fair sight better than small, cox, and peters.
ReplyDeleteOr Dewey, Cheatem & Howe.
ReplyDeletealas, poor coco. i knew him well.
ReplyDeleterob, yawn:
ReplyDeleteBoston has agreed to send center fielder Coco Crisp to the Royals in exchange for right-handed reliever Ramon Ramirez, ESPN Radio 810 in Kansas City reported Wednesday.
You'll miss Coco Crisp a fair bit less than we all miss Koko Goldstein.
ReplyDeleteOr Koko B. Ware
ReplyDeleteThis is, well, I'm not sure what this is...
ReplyDeleteWhat about Koko's ghost? He spooked the smooth into Michael Jackson.
ReplyDeleteI realize everyone is very fired up for TX Tech/OK this weekend, but the real game of the weekend is the impending Wazzu/WA disaster in the Pacific NW. Can the Fighting Tys muster a win?
ReplyDeleteus of a looking sharp this evening. klestan and altidore combining nicely and adu controlling the midfield. klestan's a weird-looking cat, tho.
ReplyDeleteSoccer? Screw that, turn to the MAC West battle on the deuce.
ReplyDeletejozy altidore is really good.
ReplyDeletetribe gets the win by 16, and mgl wasn't kidding about uncw's defense - they've allowed 102 to wake with 5 minutes left to play.
ReplyDeleteEntertaining Charlotte/Appy St game on MASN right now...
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who is surprised Pacman was reinstated so quickly and easily?
ReplyDeleteWe got overtime on MASN...
ReplyDeleteNo TJ, I'm quite sure you weren't the only one surprised.
ReplyDeleteThere's an absurd amount of good/interesting sporting contests on the television tonight.
The snow's a nice touch in this Ball State-Central Michigan game.
ReplyDeleteStarting to snow in this Ball St/Cent Mich game too.
ReplyDeleteDamn you Mark
ReplyDeleteTJ...stop copying me.
ReplyDeleteYou should see all my tats.
ReplyDeleteNice long ball and cross by the US.
ReplyDeleteOh this Appy St/Charlotte game is gooood
ReplyDeleteIts in OT, yes?
ReplyDeleteDouble OT baybee
ReplyDeleteMy gf just called me and said she saw Darryl Strawberry at the Cheesecake Factory in Tampa. I had no idea she even knew who he was.
ReplyDeleteI hope she tipped him well.
ReplyDeleteWow the Wiz just gave another game away. 1-8 now.
ReplyDeleteQuite a football game this MAC battle is turning into...
ReplyDeleteI've got a Dan LeFevour, and...well, you know the rest.
ReplyDeleteTJ, stick your foot and lets go get some money!
ReplyDeleteThe years have not been kind to Nancy Lieberman.
ReplyDeleteYou know how you can be sure the Mavericks suck?
ReplyDeleteGerald Green starts.
Diop went to Oak Hill?
ReplyDeleteHe was like the 8th pick in the draft. I think he went to Oak Hill for two years.
ReplyDeleteThe co-eds at Appy St are trifling.
ReplyDeleteAnd hairy.
ReplyDeleteWhat channel is the App State game on?
ReplyDeleteAnd Nancy Lieberman is a god down here. (sic)
MASN...possible triple OT coming.
ReplyDeletefreddy adu!
ReplyDeleteAppy St survives!!!
ReplyDeletei've been to appy state. the coeds are anything but trifling.
ReplyDeleteWell the fat/pregnant chicks right behind the basket indicated otherwise, oh defender of the toothless and inbred.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could hate a studio show more than this team of Stu Yah, Jalen and Squeaky.
ReplyDeleteYou should really see the NBATV halftime show of Ahmad, Payton and Webber.
ReplyDeleteThey should be forced to play 3-on-3, loser has to retire from TV. Forever.
ReplyDeleteNice tackling, Chippewas.
ReplyDeleteThis MAC game is really picking up steam...
ReplyDeleteMore Cowbell is quite shifty for a QB
ReplyDeleteWizards were horrible down the stretch tonight. You could pick any 5 of your co-workers (any of you) and they'd have been no less successful.
ReplyDeleteLeFevour is pretty mobile. Some assholes were calling him the MAC Tebow last year due to his run stats.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a bit of an awkward throwing motion, no?
That, and he looks 13 yrs old.
ReplyDeleteWow...great throw and even better catch.
ReplyDeleteCock. Balls(tate).
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this game feel like it has to go to OT?
ReplyDeleteOr not.
ReplyDeleteThat's a terrible play call.
ReplyDeleteThats a horrible fake punt call. 4th and 18? C'mon, there's 4 minutes left.
ReplyDeleteOK Chippewas, its gonna take a Herculean effort to get this into OT.
ReplyDeleteYikes.
ReplyDeleteJason Whitlock's gonna celebrate by eating 10 racks of ribs.
ReplyDeleteWhitlock just hung up his phone...
ReplyDeleteHold the phone...that INT hit the ground.
ReplyDeleteTJ...seriously?
ReplyDelete58 seconds...87 yards...can More Cowbell pull it off?
ReplyDeleteMark, get the fuck out of my brain. And I just jinxed them. Dammit.
ReplyDeleteUhh, no.
ReplyDeleteSomebody get Whitlock a side of sweet potato fries.
ReplyDeleteAnd a dozen Krispy Kremes.
ReplyDeleteI hope Moxon can lead West Canaan to victory...
ReplyDeleteGod, you love that movie.
ReplyDeleteI DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE
ReplyDeleteHas anyone been watching this Sons of Anarchy show on F/X?
ReplyDeleteI think the Lions should run the Ooopty Oop offense this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd how come the game officials never made Tweeter tuck in his jersey?
Greg and I both watch Sons of Anarchy. Its pretty good. Be a lot better on HBO.
ReplyDeleteInsert "It would" appropriately in that last comment.
ReplyDelete"Be a lot better on HBO, it would"
ReplyDeleteMark/Yoda, no difference really.
