When you use that phrase it kinda sounds like he hates the other players.

Especially when you misspell his name.

He was my biology lab partner for 2 years, so I had to write it on many documents:

Huh.  I stand corrected.  For some reason it didn't look right, but I defer to the lab partner

I have mentioned it before, but he was/is a smart guy.  Since he is 7'0" tall, his destiny was basketball if he had any talent, but he had a 'back-up' plan to be a doctor, and probably could have done so.

One thing that struck me the other night was how hopelessly overmatched Milw was.  Had we chosen to run up the score (which thankfully Bryce has too much character to do), the spread pretty easily could have been 40 points, or more.  It just goes to show how quickly a good program can fall on hard times.  I think we will always be competitive as long as Bryce stays, but finding the right replacement when he leaves will be absolutely critical to the future of the program.

Agree, finding that replacement for Bryce will be critical.  And, for the first time in many moons, it won't end with a Drew.  I'm sure that the replacement won't come far from the "Valpo Way", though.

Thanks for posting the highlights--my favorite, though, comes at 1:12, when, after Buggs hits the 3, the player guarding him looks at Jeter for a couple seconds as if to say "i thought you told me i didn't need to guard him out there"
