I agree that Hunter and Harrow are sickly talented.

But there's no way you'll convince me that the other three guys (Green, Crider, Shipes) are better than our guys at those positions.

Beat me to it. In fact, when you start bringing in guys from the bench I'd have to say we also have the advantage there as well.

So you saying GSU was a salary cap victim?

----I think that Shipes had the best vertical on the court---Was wondering why he was jumping for the opening tap!!!

There are subtle things that happen in the game of basketball that sometimes go unnoticed.

Jay Wright really struggled early in the game. Bob took him out and let him watch for a while. It's obvious while he watched the game slowed down for him. When Coach put him back in, Wright helped lead the big comeback.

It was a brilliant coaching move. And I bet most folks never noticed.

Another key was Shawn playing well after he got 3 fouls. A couple of times he let GSU have the basket after we were beaten which was the right thing to do. He also kept his composure which was encouraging as he can be emotional at times. I was worried about that as he and the team had been telling folks since summer this was the one game they wanted. They were not happy about losing to them at home last year. That may have been part of the problem early. They may have been too hyped up. Having someone who has been through the Big 12 wars like Brian Williams was also critical.

Brian Williams is the best showcase of leading by example. He's got a confidence about him that is cool calm and collected and I love it and I think it's rubbing off on some other guys

Well, ...we were dreaming of the cajun chicken walking out there banging that drum. How awesome would that have been?

They need to bring the chicken back for the UTA alumni game!!! Someone get on it! Hell! I'll even wear the honor of the chicken suit if given that honor... But,I certainly can't dance like that!

[BirdofParadise]

Neither can he. After two replacements, he doesn't move all that well. And, he lives out of state.

And, he's almost 60

[cajundiehard]

Gotcha. But, someone needs do it... We need to educate the younger generation. The crowd would go wild if the CHICKEN walked out there...
