Is there an application to join the DarkSide?

Our season is over....WE FREAKING LOST TO FIU???

[SkypointBull]

Losing to FIU is horrible. And the best part is, we are at the same point we are every year. 7 Healthy players not including walk ons.

How can a basketball team be so banged up? How about easing off of them RMC.

If this keeps up we could be down to 6 Healthy players come conference time. That is going to be great.

Anyone remember that line from Hoosiers.....

I don't think this has to do with Mac working them too hard...  torn ACL's are freak occurances...  just ask Marlyn Bryant.

If anything, they need to get their stamina up even farther... if they are all going to be playing 38+ minutes a game.  Missing FT's because of fatigue is going to be a common occurance unless they can handle playing almost a full game all the time.

[SkypointBull]

But with so many people banged up, how do they get their stamina up?

I know the injuries are not RMC's fault, but every year it seems to happen to his teams. I would just like to see him have a full bench sometime.

[Velcro]

Every year it happens to every team we've had...  this wasn't a problem for him at other schools... but its always been a USF problem...

Marlyn Bryant was injured most of the time under SG... he played more games under RMC than he did SG.

Chonsey Asbury/Reggie Kohn/Sam Barber...

we have a history of injuries here, it isn't related to the coaching as much as it is horrible luck.

I would love to see a full bench... thought we would have close to one this year... but it didn't happen because of more freak injuries, plus a 50/50 shot not panning out in Sills.

I don't think they can get their stamina up enough... that is why it is going to be a tough season.

ANY game we ge into foul trouble in is going to be a tall task to win.  It doesn't matter who the opponent is... they should try to get Jones fouled out, or in trouble.. then we are screwed.

I hate to show my ignorance but...

2. Who, what and why are there darksiders?

I Am going to make some games this season but my path to the light/dark side of the force is undecided.

Here is the original thread that chronicles the formation of the Dark Side...

http://www.thebullspen.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=newhof;action=display;num=1108871275

It was a classic thread, but many have changed names, avatars and tag lines back since then.

But still, the history and guidance you seek young jedi may be buried in that thread.

Mutt:

Do not walk down the path you are considering.  The dark side is nothing but fear.  Fear leads to anger.  Anger leads to hate.  Hate leads to suffering.

[Guest_Pariah]

Desire leads to suffering. Like the desire to win . . .

"Four Noble Truths," which are the foundation of all Buddhist belief:

   1.) All human life is suffering (dhukka ).

   2.) All suffering is caused by human desire.

   3.) Human suffering can be ended by ending human desire.

   4.) Desire can be ended by following the "Eightfold Noble Path": right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.

we know this is going to be a rough year... relax and drink a few extra beers.
