As she predicted, there was basically no suspense in Jacqui making the JV
roster. Now she's gotta earn playing time. They only have 12 on the JV roster
after there being 15 on the frosh team last year.

BTW - she's a hoot and really fun to watch games with after her 2 summers
of going to Point Guard College. Very knowledgeable kid. She yells at the
players using the terminology she learned there. PGC - highly recommended.

Sidelines/baseline = manure strip (to be avoided)

jumping to pass - he went to the hood (bad)

dribbling to no purpose - P(iss) dribbling

Hey Jim, your daughter isn't the only young female athlete out there ballin'. This little girl is legit!

awesome

Jacqui is only competing against other young women

first scrimmage tonight

wondering about playing time....

My 12 year old can flip a 200+ pound tire with ease. He is one strong kid -- it is all natural strength. He hasn't started lifting weights at all.

"That's beast!" is one comment from a person training nearby at our local fitness facility who saw my son moving the tire.

I hope he maximizes his gifts, wherever they take him.

Sounds like some supreme core strength. Middle linebacker or guard.

she got a fair number of minutes and shot 2-4 so that seems reasonably good.

I didn't get to watch it all, &^%#@ traffic. But what I did see she looked solid.

and SLHS JV 'won' the scrimmage

is realgm under attack by a larry-the-cable-guy-centric virus?

Yeah, LB or FB is the way it looks now, but height/speed/grades/health over the years will be what determines how far he goes. If I had to guess I would say he will be freakishly strong throughout.

Wow- Macho Camacho just got declared brain dead after getting shot a couple days ago.

Apparently was sitting in a parking lot in Puerto Rico in his car, when another car drove up and shot him in the jaw with a 45, which then went through his spine, his carotid, and out the other shoulder. Yes, the press in PR went into all this stuff in gory detail.

Not a huge boxing fan, but always a tragedy to see this happen to anybody.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, GUYS!

I really don't care for it much when someone says "no problem"
in response to my saying "thank you". I believe the correct response
is actually "You're Welcome". It actually makes a lot more sense
given the situation than this modern alternative.

I prefer "you're welcome," but don't mind the other. It's a little analogous to "de nada" and similar phrases that somewhat function to (presumably graciously) minimize the magnitude of task/gesture that motivated the "thank you." A very thought provoking byway. Thanks for bringing it up.

Should we change the Wizards name to the Generals?

To look on the bright-side.

I've been lurking for awhile. I always felt I really don't have a lot to contribute, because there are a lot of knowledgable people on the board...that said I always have an opinion

Everyone always says we should build a contender instead of a pretender.
What if by some fluke, even with a horrible FO, we develop a really good core of
Wall/Nene/Beal/2012 draftee

Every game the Wizards play hard and they are very close. What if we become the Bulls?
For example, everyone says we are not good because our two best players are off the court.
Nene has improved the team....Wall should make the team better. I think we are missing that elite scorer who is efficient and who is not scared.....

What if Wall is an elite PG?
Is that elite scorer in the draft?
If we got that person, and the team stays intact....what is our new ceiling?

You have to suck bad in the NBA to get lucky..is there someone who could do that for us?

excited to see Jacqui's first JV game tonight. From what she has told
me re practice and scrimmages, she might well expect to see the floor
a bit more than she did as a frosh (which was hardly at all). We'll see.

5 year anniversary of the death of Sean Taylor.

R.I.P.

back when the foreskins had a good secondary (but a mediocre QB)

times change

Man, this app is weird.
