Oh well.
At least Manu is getting his points.
Gregg Marshall hopes Manu will wear down in second half.
LOL ... he has another thing coming ...
What was, will be.
What will be WAS, but will be again.

I just find it INCREDIBLE that we have two top 15-16 teams playing an afternoon game on Saturday -- an anticipated one at that -- and all of TWO (er, THREE) people are currently posting on the free access game thread of Baylor's top unofficial message board.
P.S: Gawd ... what a game this is!
Nope. First I've heard of it (despite this site allegedly being on top of things -- maybe he just joined and the staff haven't had time to post it just yet).Thankful Bear said:
Anyone know who the walk-on football player is?
Give it a freaking rest, will ya? Not a lot of options right now. Plus, plenty of good things to cheer - like Jolly getting into game shape.Health Camper said:
Little from Lindsey...again. Anyone else want to lecture us on how valuable he is? Great kid...averaging a bucket a game more than the towel boy. Just 8 pg from his role would be massive for this team.
That's exactly the point. Because there are so few options ... ANYTHING from Lindsey offensively would be welcome (at least he can handle the ball -- turnovers are down from last year). Anything ...NoBSU said:Give it a freaking rest, will ya? Not a lot of options right now. Plus, plenty of good things to cheer - like Jolly getting into game shape.Health Camper said:

One minute posters complain of an inactive board. In another they want to tell you what can and can't be said. Among reasons it's inactive here is clowns like you play opinion police even when someone states the obvious. Lindsey has been horrible, and yes, it's a story line.NoBSU said:Give it a freaking rest, will ya? Not a lot of options right now.

I'm with you on Lindsey. Appreciate what he does do but the dude needs to figure out a way to be at least something more than virtually non-existent as a scorer.Health Camper said:One minute posters complain of an inactive board.
