Big news locally today as: Kennesaw State starts a program. We are serving as an example. Let that rattle around in your head. 'If things work perfectly' they plan to start in 2014. The press conference didn't start perfectly as Vince Dooley called our friends up I-75 Kansas State University. Oops!
My take on KSU: We'll be in the CAA by then and entrenched in the state. Better recruiting base, better coaching staff, better facilities. Not a major threat folks. Congrats to them but they'll be the FAU or FIU to our South Florida. AJC Link

Men's Basketball Announces Schedule: No suprises here. If you follow this blog and a reader of PantherTalk.com, we had nearly every matchup as they were announced by the other schools. We are typically one of the last schools to announce our men's basketball schedule and it really doesn't matter as football grabs the headlines and attention. Just win baby! GSU Sports Link
Speaking of Men's Basketball: The trip to the Bahamas was key for the coaches in regards to practice time and developing team chemistry. However, the scores left some scratching their heads at why we were so close to losinf to the Bahama National team (which from all acounts was a heavy mix of local guys that played against multiple teams). We could have been Portland State, they actually got beat in a game against the Bahamian All Stars. Link

ReplyDeleteReally? This guys is nuts...
My understanding of the Bahamas teams was that many of the members were 30-40 year old ex-NBA players who had a lot of skill and craftiness while the younger college players were more physical. However goggling some of Bah players did not result in any NBA matches. Perhaps more important, how did the NC State and Memphis do against the teams we played. That info is scarce.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the guy from SB Nation is a little all over the place. Self indicted KSU fan (that's Kennessaw State Vince Dooley!).
