Who are the coaches? I'm fine beating NT90 ;) haha.

As has been previously noted...the player coaches are:

Andrew and

UNT90.

It will be a battle of the two extremes...

1) UNT90 where the players can do whatever they want and be completely resolved of any responsibility as they are "just kids" VS

2). Andrew whose players will be required to wAtch no TV and fast for three days before the game to prove they are "real men"... And or "real women".

It is definitely a classic in the making!

This one is going to be the best of the four games to date!

Current players are not allowed for all sorts of reasons.

They could not watch.. Why can alumni play with them in the rec? Just curious what the difference is.

I also thought that at one time they had helped out by being referees. Am I wrong?

Well, yes..we did have an active women's team player ref for us one year...that was a mistake, but no compliance issues resulted. They can play, with permission, but the compliance issues loom high enough that it is just not worth the risk. Former players, no problem.

Have tried and tried to involve these folks to a great extent. Had a bit of success when a couple of seniors helped coach and ref. If you can help get a few out that would be great.

No problem at all with current players watching.

I'd definitely be interested in playing or helping out however I can. Just gotta know what I need to do.

Excellent, Sir...but what you do is 100% up to you.

Want to play? Super as we do still need players...if so, what is your t-shirt size?

If you would like to help in other ways as well, we could use some help gathering some silent auction items....gift cards from restaurants are great if you frequent any places and might feel comfortably asking for a gift card donation....

Just let me know what you would like to do...thanks for your participation.

Shouldn't Andrew be the coach of the team that doesn't need a coach because the coach doesn't have any effect on wins and losses?

Also, I think there should be a draft this year. Last years teams were just a little slanted (like me being the only one on our team over 5'10"). The fact that we pulled off the greatest upset in the modern era of the GMG contests is a compliment to my coaching, of course. And maybe Rob's tenacious 5"10" rebounding self and the female who was lights out from 3.

With your description of our coaching viewpoints, I'm not so sure we won't get the "short" end of the stick again this year. ;-)

A draft would go a long way to even things out.

Is it two twenty minute halfs? And let's be honest the coach in something like this mostly handles substitutes and maybe a defense if people can operate. I suppose they can motivate everyone.

A draft would be fun. Maybe one step closer to a tournament ;) haha. I know your not interested but may one year when my life is less busy. That happens eventually right....?

I am only 5'10 but it's a good height :)

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      OT, but how does this percentage still so high? Graduating college has been pushed so freaking hard, going back to the Boomers, that you would think this number would be much less than 20%. 20+ years ago, when I was finishing HS, it was the de-facto, this-is-just-what-you-do endeavor. And I was not even a Boomer. So how are we still seeing so many first gen college graduates?

      New commit Creighton transfer post Brock Vice

      This is an interesting pickup for us. This guy doesn’t conform to the typical transfer profile that we should be focusing on: highly productive player at a low-major/D2 or a formerly productive player at high-major/mid-major who needs a change of scenery. Brock Vice has played ZERO real college basketball. But finding a player who can be productive for us at the center position is going to take some creativity. Need to replace Tylor Perry or Jason Edwards? Not fun, but there are LOTS of fast young men 5’9 or taller who can dribble and shoot that the marketplace has undervalued. Ross Hodge can take his pick. There just aren’t very many 18-24 year-old humans who are 6’9 or taller. And the marketplace places a very high price on those who are that tall AND possess any degree of athleticism or basketball skill. Which brings us back to Brock Vice, who redshirted on a VERY good Creighton team that finished 25-10 last season (second-place in the Big East). The starting center on that team was Ryan Kalkbrenner, a 7’1 monster who averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots a game. His backup also put up good numbers in very limited minutes. So Vice hasn’t been a productive college player yet, but atleast he has a good excuse. With both players in front of him on the depth chart eligible to come back to Creighton next season, Vice needs a change of scenery to get his oversized sneakers on the court. He’s 6-10. Can rebound AND shoot. Was an outstanding high school and AAU basketball player. And has enough meat on his bones and athleticism to have been a standout high school football player. This is exactly the kind of kid that Ross should be landing. We did not have a player like this guy on our team last season and it hurt us all year. Welcome to Denton!

      Why would a big brand like this invest so heavily in one school? College sports are so tribal and FedEx wants to serve everyone. Now I am LESS likely to use FedEx.
