The Goat Pen

If it was soccer he'd be carted off the field writhing in agony.

If it was soccer, he'd still be laying there...

In the USA olympic qualifier last night one of our guys got slapped then elbowed hard in the face. I was glad that all he did was recoil back and give a WTF look, rather than fall on the ground grabbing face like some people we could mention.

"It was a hard foul no doubt, but if I'm a high flyer like Blake I'd rather guys wrap me up/hit me/plow me over while I'm still grounded than take a legit hard foul while airborn.

That's just me, too much can go wrong after takeoff."

Tell me about it. I'm just praying that Stillman White isn't one of those things that is going to go wrong, but I have my doubts. Actually, the kid is pretty chippy, and fast, and I'm glad he's seen some playing time, but he's not a guy that I think can win 4 more games for us at this point. I think he'll be fine tonight, though...

Pound it down low and rebound the ball

Heard a rumor that should send a spike through the crashcourse heart.

Frank Martin is the next head coach at Carolina.

Seriously? The guy purposely plowed into him. Hard. That wasn't an accident. Flagrant? Hell yes.

He got suspended 2 games, too.

Why is WHite on Cooper

That seems excessive, unless thats typical nowadays. I havent been keeping up with NBA ball for a while.
