Not sure I see your parallel. Are our starters all frosh (or nearly all frosh)?
That article made no mention of such.

Actually, I don't mind comparisons to the Fab Five...after all, Ed Martin is dead, so there's no danger of that disgraceful similarity resurfacing.

3 of our starters are freshmen. 5 of our top 7 in the rotation are freshmen.

But these freshmen don't hold a handle to the Fab 5 freshmen.

As a team, though, I think the teams may be comparable when you factor in Burke/THJ/Morgan.

Begging your pardon, hail, but the article to which that link pointed me dealt with hockey...

No question the freshman on our 2013 hoops team are hardly in the same class as the Fab Five...
at least not in terms of basketball talent.

Is this a basketball forum, or what? Why anything about slidey-puck? If there is so much interest, why not a forum of its own?

I love hockey. I hate your slidey puck BS as much as I hate 2nd's bouncey ball BS. I think you both should knock that shit off and if you don't want to read about the other sport, then ignore the posts.

Hockey is great. Mich Hockey has provided me with a ton of entertainment over the years.

Actually, I like hockey and my charactization is strictly a response to 2nd's tiresomely constant disrespect to basketball, which I have several times asked him to stop doing.

That's the point fish. Woody has offered multiple times to stop with the slidey buck if 2nd stops with the bouncy ball. 2nd of course has yet to agree to it. 2nd spews his childish shit all over the forum and no one says anything. Not sure if I agree with the tactic but if it gets him to stop the juvenile routine then I am all for it.

I apologize. I mistakenly linked the wrong article. I can't seem to be able to find it now, but it was about the similarties between this years team and that of "The Fab Five".

This isn't the article that I meant to link but it's close:

I found it! Figures it's after the unfortunate result yesterday.
