I watched all three games this season against NE, MTU, and SVSU. Manny has improved a lot. He still likes to force things, but you can definitely see an improvement in his all around game, and his numbers have been very impressive. Douglas/Novak seem like good additions too. They are average on D, but they both are not afraid to stroke it, and they seem to fit nicely so far. From watching all three games they are HORRIBLE at rebounding, but I guess that is expected since they are playing such a small lineup, and from what I've read thats one of the cons of playing the 1-3-1. We'll see how they react next week, because I think UCLA is due in this Coaches/Cancer tourney.

I'm not saying we will beat OSU, but I really think we are going to give them a game. I think we've finally started to turn the corner on all sides of the ball. The offense will still be up and down with the personal they have, but they are starting to show signs of consistency, and you can actually see now they have an idea of what they are doing. With that said I don't know what to expect against NW. I guess that depends on if Bacher plays.

It will take some time to adjust when you lose your starting PG for the last half of decade. From watching the Stones this year I also think we need Dice back. I'm fairly confident he will be back, but I read today Boston is interested, and that concerns me. From watching so far I like what A.I. brings. When he gets used to everything there will be games when he takes total control over the game, and we haven't seen that in a long, long time.

Wow that was a pleasant surprise! I'm a Sheridan hater, but great job today, and Feagin has jets on him. I like that wrinkle they brought in with him.

Did anyone see this. (I know it's off topic, but don't want to start a new thread)

JUDAS PRIEST!!! How did you find that? Those soccer people are one of a kind. This makes Greenstreet Hooligans look like it's rated G.

Oh lovely! Looks like we get to see Sheridan start Saturday. Mark that one down as a lose!!

Lets not go that far! Wait now that I think about it you're probably right!

That is good stuff right there, and you're right it isn't really a stretch. Interesting.....

OHHHH MYYY! I laughed so hard reading that!!!!!!!!

Now you're thinking! Smart Ass

I bet she looked real good with the googles on. Most do on halloween! Word on the street is Mangino dressed as Justin Boren for Halloween

Even though it's the Buffet Monster I got to give him props for his halloween costume... Baby Boren

I agree on treating Chauncey like gold when he returns. He was the man. As for King James....1) I posted that link already...now I know you don't read anything I write . 2) It is a fascinating article. I really think it's still a long shot, but wow Joe D is really shooting for the stars, and I love it. If LeBron isn't playing in NY, or CLE in 2 years it will be with us. Imagine the PR skills the Stones could use with him: Bring the King to the Palace! etc, etc.

Like I keep saying look at the big picture.... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AvmG...o&type=lgns Although unlikely this article was really getting me excited. BTRD I don't believe in Joe D 200%. I believe in him 300!

Your not looking at the big picture though. What's the worst that can happen? We won't make it to the finals? It's not like were suppose to come out of the East anyway, but with A.I. we get some hunger back for a ring, we probably will get Dice back, and lets say this explodes in our face we have 36 million dollars of free cap to go after Bosh, Amari, or someone else who is a big time free agent.

That is exactly right, but I think it's worth the risk. And if it doesn't work out we have a lot of free money.

I can see where your coming from, but a lot of this A.I. talk is same the same talk Pistons fans said when we got Sheed. I know the opinions from a lot of people are starting to change on Sheed, but you can't deny it worked out for the best.

I agree with you Timothy I don't know how this is going to help the team, but with that said I LOVE this trade. Smith said A.I. wants to here, because he wants a ring. We need that chip back on our shoulders, and hunger back. Plus if it doesn't work out we get tons of cap room from A.I's contract (plus Sheed's for that matter). According to some people next summer will be the best NBA FA pool ever with Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Stodimarrie, ect looking for the big bucks.

We have a star walk on, Nick Sheridan

The snootiness? Give me a damn break! I give props to your old ball coach, and it's snooty? Of course U-M hired Rodriquez to win National Championships isn't that what every single major college football coaches job is? The fact is though it is extremely difficult to win National Championships in football, and you not only have to play great football every week, but you also have to get extremely lucky. Auburn was 13-0 a few years back, and didn't even get a shot at the title. Sometimes the 2 best teams are not even playing in the title game. I'll take a BCS bowl everyday of the week.

Michigan actually beat the Buckeyes in something?! YEAHHHHH! (:

Ahhh where to begin? John Cooper 2? I think it's a joke OSU fans label other coaches "John Cooper 2", and are always ripping him. Cooper was a dang good football coach. The numbers don't lie. Yes, his record was horrible against Michigan, but thats his only flaw. Rodriquez has Big East rings, and his teams let Georgia, and Oklahoma have it. You can say what you want about the Big East, and I do agree it is nothing special, but the conference has had some real good football teams, and has had some good coaches come out of it in Rodriquez, Petrino, Dantonio, and soon to be Brian Kelly, Esdall (sp?), and maybe Schiano if PSU wants him. As for the Michigan game Saturday it looks like Rodriquez is already at the crossroads with his defensive coordinator. Thats the risk you take when you hire someone you don't know, and just base it off their previous stops. If there is no change next year I won't be very happy.

I don't either, but thats basically what I think about all their moves.
