What's exhibition about?

[jackdaniel]

I think exhibition games are valuable to allow players to become accustomed to each other,and to try new schemes in a game situation,a game that doesn't really matter whether it works or not.It's not running up the score, as some would like, but rather trying to make the team better for the games that do count. Hope the team takes advantage of both our exhibition games & hits the floor running for the pre-season WNIT tournement.Time to smooth a few things tonight against Bemidji State.

I always like hearing about them, see who starts, who does well, who may be improving, how the freshmeat is doing. I know I will be following a long at work for tonights game. also I will be following Dukes exb game also.

ditto, jd.

listened to most of it on the radio---merriam said it was rather "ugly". would think that is a bit of a concern even at this early stage. hopefully, aj can get a few things ironed out and jacks will take a big step forward come 7 days from now.

A few thoughts on the 2 exhibition games:

--we need Macie back...bad. Not that Paluch or Young aren't doing fine at the point, but Macie is the engine that makes this team go.

--we should be absolutely beastly (...is that a word?) on the boards this year. Sunnarborg, Dietel, Lingle, etc seem to own the lane...at least against DII exhibition opponents

--we seem to be more 'active' defensively than last year. Again, this is based off what I've seen against two lesser opponents...but I still like what I see.

Here's to a great season...let's get this thing started!

Watched the game on the internet last night. Terrible shooting by the Jacks. Can't believe how poor a free throw shooter Dietel is...2-6. Rotert had a bad night from the field throwing up bricks...4-13 including 1-6 from three point range. Young was off too hitting 3-10 including 2-8 from beyond the arc. But.......it is just preseason. Hopefully they will shoot better when it comes to the games that count. They'd better!!

Even under normal circumstances,it probably isn't wise to evaluate a team from exhibition games - even more so this year when the pg who normally runs the team is out of action. After watching the game I do like Paluch better at the point than Jill - I think Jill is better suited for the off guard.

After a couple of years on the board, here are some unwritten rules:

-A.J. and the women's team are holier than thou. Anything indicating they are less than a NCAA Final Four contender is blasphamy. (Note that I think they are a great group of women year in and year out, but I mean people could at least voice their opinions without getting stoned!)

-You can say anything you want about the men's basketball team (and people will likely agree with you), but not the women!

-Do not mention USD, unless you are using them to make SDSU look ten times better by comparison.

-If you have a red dot, instead of green, by your username, then you're better off just not posting anymore (it means people are tired of you).

Remember those four things and you'll be fine. Welcome to the board!

People tend to jump all over you if you criticize the coach of any SDSU sport.

Particularly one who has won a national championship, won national coach of the year, and gone to the Big Dance 2 of out 2 possible years.

If its not warrented they do. Most are critical of Nagy but he has earned his chance and we are improving year by year. AJ has done things that most programs would only dream of. Stig took us to the play offfs D-1 when we struggled to win games as D-2. Its fine to voice opinion, but be prepared to back it up with logic or reason.

Keep in mind RO that you introduced yourself by telling everyone you are a student at SDSU but have been a lifelong USD fan. And, from time-to-time you've been snarky about SDSU. I assume you're not surprised when you get jumped once in a while. Now, with that having been printed, I do not disagree that there is a tendency of all fan message boards to have their share of fans who will defend their team no matter what.

I wasn't even talking about myself, just in general. I will admit I try to be abrasive at times, and I can be a **** and a sarcastic ***hole at other times, but for the most part people have treated me pretty well and fairly on here. And my SDSU fandom has grown a lot since I first joined here.
