HCGM on Sirius XM this evening

[Rosewood]

Duke beat Winthrop 84 to 37. Whew that was an ass whoopin.

JFCA - No wonder HCGM refuses to run up the score on teams. 84-37 will leave a scar on your soul.

Me and seven fellow Pep band members got some of those tickets. We had blast ranging on the Duke team and the Southern Fans loved us crazy WSU students who loved their band.

I also remember @Anthroshock told me to watch the Winthrop Coach he would be a great guy to replace HCMT if we needed to.

Hehe, now there's an idea.

Little story ...

Duke was in the other bracket in 2006 when the Shocks played in the regional at Greensboro and played Southern their first game. WSU had already beaten Seton Hall and Marshall's Winthrop team had lost a close game to Bruce Pearl's Tennessee team. I believe this is where Jim Schaus first met Marshall. I know we were impressed with how his team battled Tennessee.

Anyway, everyone in our little group of Shocker fans was exhausted after the morning session, but Southern was staying at our hotel and had not sold all their allottment of tickets so we bought some evening session tickets from them and went to the games.

The whole Duke entourage and aura was in full force that evening and I sort of got a bad attitude about Coach K and Duke, you know, how they got special treatment and had the money for a whole crapload of assistants, managers, trainers, etc. in suits to coddle the Duke players. Duke won of course, but it was worth going to see the Southern band (think Drum Line).

Just a couple years ago, that attitude changed when I saw the "30 for 30" documentary "Survive and Advance" about the 1983 NC State national championship and the end of Jimmy V's life, and Coach K's caring, love and extra effort put forward to comfort the coach and the whole Valvano and NC State basketball family. Coach K is a smart, articulate man and seems to be a really decent human being.

I stumbled upon his radio program once before and enjoyed the heck out of it. He has a chatty, comfortable style and I'm sure coaches share a bond of mutual respect. I wish I would have heard Marshall on his show.

--'85.

I was there in Greensboro with martymoose and I remember seeing Schaus talking with Marshall before the Tennessee/Winthrop game and thinking, "I sure hope Schaus is talking with him about coming to Wichita".

One of my favorite memories about the three NCAA 1st & 2nd Round sites that I have been to (Greensboro, Portland and Salt Lake City) was that two of those times Southern was also there. If you ever get the chance to see their band do not miss it. They are simply out of this world.

I must second this. It is worth a trip to Baton Rouge (or whatever city they are traveling to) to see them.

Yes, he was re-elected 3x. The people of that generation loved him because he gave them hope (read: government jobs, money.) However, unemployment only dipped below 15% once between 1933-1939. That is awful, and that is why the New Deal can be looked at today as not the saving grace it was thought to be. He was definitely popular and a great wartime president. Economically though? Not as much. I'm done with this argument though. Go Shocks.

God, I hope you never teach my kids this revisionist bullshit.

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off."

Apparently the truth really did piss you off.


Then again, lies will also piss you off.

“That means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

Yea, right buddy.

That is all.

LOUD NOISES!!!!!

[another shocker]

Coach K gave praise to HCGM for his job at Winthrop and what he has done at WSU. Gregg discussing how great it is to coach his players. K says WSU has a "nasty" team. Gregg is describing the origins of PLAY ANGRY and wanting it "more" than the other team. They talked about the history of Shocker BBall, Coach K grew up in Chicago and remembers watching Dave the Rave, live.

HCGM talking about Shockers that were on the NY Knicks team (he noticed during the NIT trip) and took that as a good omen prior to the finals. Reminiscing about influences on his coaching career. Coach Kresse taught Gregg everything from A-Z about all aspects of coaching. Coach K compliments the Shockers that they love to play the game, do it together and it shows. Gregg wants to see his players go 100% and he's not afraid to sub a new player if he sees someone slacking off. Coach K admires Gregg and his work that he has done. Gregg returns the praise to Coach K except for a tourny game he took a beating (Winthrop?).

A refreshing interview, almost like a fireside chat. Not a bunch of garbage questions that we get from some talking heads. Came off sounding great, lots of mutual respect.

awesome review. thanx.

is there any way at all to hear this sans sirius?

outstanding effort!

that was a bit of a pick-me-up after the lingering nagging feeling left over from the second half of the shockers-ramblers game.

I'm confused by your comment. What did I revise? That was the unemployment rate. FDR attempted to solve the problem through government initiatives, including a number of short term jobs programs. He spoke in a very hopeful, optimistic way, which lifted the spirits of the American people. I am glad he started the farm subsidy practice, though. Farmers were killing themselves at that time. He was a great wartime president. Not the greatest economic president, he failed in solving the long term unemployment problem.

That is all.

Feel free to restrict the discussion to basketball related topics in this forum.

I will resist the liberal bait, I will resist the liberal bait.....

[jpshocker]

It was one of the best interviews I've heard of coach Marshall's in some time and I actually have some newfound respect for coach K. It is nice to get some program recognition from a top tier coach that actually involves some of our history as we'll. A very refreshing interview.

My grandpa wasn't fond of FDR...he was a Dem until the 80s.

Once upon a time, FDR went to Little Rock to make a speech. In those days, it was common to build a wood, raised platform for the person, who was speaking. The stage had a wood railing and it was adorned with red, white and blue bunting. My grandfather was a carpenter and he helped to build the stage.

A large, enthusiastic crowd gathered. The speech was very well received. Upon conclusion of FDR's speech, the crowd rushed forward to shake his hand, pat him on the back and touch him as if he was a god. In the excitement, FDR was hurried off the stage by some of his entourage. In the hustle and bustle of activity, FDR dropped his cane and it fell at the feet of my grandfather, who picked it up.

Later my grandfather tried to return the cane, but a spokesman for FDR told him to keep the cane.

I believe the cane, which I have in a safe and secure place, is authentic because there is a silver plate attached and it bears the initials of "F.D.R."

Pretty cool! You should get it authenticated.
