Linfield Game Thursday!!!

Beseda's been mailing in the small college beat this year, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

All in all, I'm please with the win. This is the most convincing exhibition win we've gotten in years, and you're never going to hear me complain about the Pilots going over 90 points!

I'm curious to know what those who were there thought of Linfield? My Bearcats have to play them twice this year.

If that was the Stott Center, the expansion plans were fast-tracked in a big way.

BTW I thought Sikma had 2 beautiful drop step moves during the game! They were jaw dropping.

Looking at the box score, it looks like Smeulders had a great all around game offensively and on the boards:

I like how Reveno is used Stohl in that first game as a situational shooter coming off of the bench. Stohl can really thrive in that role...kind of the mid-major version of Steve Kerr. I like it because it still allows our better athletes to get out on the floor and run and defend...

typo: "is used"...should just read "used..." I got to represent for my UP English teachers.... LOL.

Thanks for the summary up7587, it's great to be able to read first hand reports when I can't be there for every game. I agree with many of your observations and think if Stonehouse does'nt watch out your game summary's might overtake him. J/K


Go Pilots beat Huskies!


Or at least make a good game of it like last year?

No problem, but overtaking Stoney is a tall order.

My personal goal this year is to remember that we are talking about young men, not pros, and try to comment in a constructive manner. Of course, consistent good play by the team will keep my blood pressure low and my emotions in check, minimizing the desire to rant.

Go Pilots, beat the Huskies!

Ha ha... spoken like a true Christie Gentleman.

But let's be honest... we all know that Corrado is where the true Pilot fans live.

Back when I was a student, Corrado didn't exist. True Pilot fans live in the X-shaped building known as Kenna Hall... LOL.

Back in my day Kenna Hall was named Holy Cross Hall.

One word: Shipstad.

Were you in the class of '65 then, mikemac? I just read that the name was changed in 1973...

Alas it was sooo looong aaagooo. But the Pilot Club rejuvinates me. Further on the Linfield game, Kramer really showed his speed on his breakaway and dunk! What a gritty kid!
