            The Sulker. Oh man, I would hate to be the player that now has that label pinned to his lapel. I'm surprised we haven't started THAT thread. "Who is the Sulker?"

          As with many colleges an interesting history.

          Catawba College opened in 1851 with a gift of 10 acres of land and a capital investment of $15,000. It was named for the Indian tribe which had already lent its name to the county and the river flowing nearby. The years that followed were filled with prosperity for the growing institution, reflecting the economic climate of the area. However, the Civil War brought drastic changes, reducing the availability of funds and students. During the war years, the College became an academy, operating as Catawba High School from 1865 to 1885. In the latter year, it resumed operations under its original charter and awarded its first college degrees in 1889.

          In 1890, Catawba became a coeducational institution and its first woman graduate completed her studies in 1893. Even with the addition of women to the student body, the College struggled to overcome the ravages and depletion brought on by the war. Responding to the offer of a partially constructed dormitory-administration building and several acres of land in Salisbury, trustee, college, and church officials closed the campus in Newton in 1923 and re-opened in Salisbury in 1925.

            Highway we take to our Virginia Mountain cabin makes us through the campus; very nice campus and Salisbury is a nice North Carolina small city

          Now that was funny. Did anyone else see Marshall last night?

          CLASSIC. :)

            Anybody know if this exhibition will be a sold-out packed house??? I know that's asking a lot for an exhibition game...but that would be cool for our newbies to experience that and get the nerves out before the season gets going for real.

              I'm optimistic. Not too many tickets showed up on Stub Hub and not a single ticket was listed under our Ticket Exchange Thread. Don't remember the last time that happened for an exhibition game.

            Eldridge goes with

            Torres, 6'2", 189
            Haynes-Jones, 6'0", 180
            Dennis, 6'5", 208
            McDuffie, 6'8", 218
            Midtgaard, 7'0", 268

            Also a lot of rundown on Catawba and some decent strengths/weaknesses of Catawba.

            His evaluation predicts Shocker transition baskets and the Shox winning the rebound battle over a decent-rebounding Catawba team. Shox height will beat out Catawba's tenacity. Dennis will guard Catawba's top player, Jameel Taylor, a 6'4", 200 lb. head-down, drive to the basket guard.

            My prediction:

            Wheat - 78
            Raisins - 52

            We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

              Looks like a small ball lineup to me, which I guess does not matter if they can all defend.

          • #25
            I'll go with
            SHJ
            Burton

                Haynes-Jones
                Burton
                Brown
                McDuffie
                Midtgaard

                With all the youth, I think it will be too close for comfort at points in the game but we pull away in the end.

                84 - 61 With SHJ leading all scorers.
