My name ain't Skip, Boggie


Kennith Harris and Denver Holmes are both gone, correct? Both seniors, and were the 2nd and 3rd leading scorers on the team. They were huge parts of that team, especially Holmes. Maybe it is you that is smoking something??

Not to mention the fact that they have no size, and limited depth.

And please, lets not have the "we were the 3 seed so we were obviously better" argument again. :Bam:

Excuse me you are correct. The Aces did lose Holmes and Harris but lets see A senior backcourt and a 4 man 6'8 Sophmore front court that played their freshman year extensively, along with a 6'6 redshirt sophmore by the name of Jahr.


Holmes and Harris were huge for UE. Their presence helped open things up for Colt. They will be sorely missed. Sawvell is a nice player, but he doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of your opponents.

A lot of really good posts here. My opinion is that next year will eventually play out similar to this past year with 2 teams getting quite a bit of separation from the rest of the pack. I think those 2 teams are obviously ISUr and CU. It's certainly possible that UNI could be be a third team in the upper echelon. But I just don't think they improve enough at this point.

I see a decent season for WSU. I just don't see them falling all the way to the bottom. Marshal is a proven coach and they have a lot of young talent coming in. Middle of the pack is about right. But to me that would/will be a good season considering all they are losing.

I'm just not sure what to think about the Bears. We do return 2 of our 3 best players in Gulley and Downing. But we have no proven post player. Losing our juco post/pf Hicks was a big blow. We also need a point guard because Downing is really more of a SG than a handler.

1. Creighton. Who else?
2. Evansville. Everybody forgets, they were sent from basketball heaven as a gift to the Valley.
3. ISUb. See Evansville.
4. ISUR
5. MSU
6. SIU. Barry
7. Drake. Losing Rice wasn't that bad.
8. Bradley.
9. Northern Iowa. They just suck.
10. WSU. Somehow, MVCFans.com, the shining beacon of truth, influenced the outcome of the season. Cause you know, WSU isn't ever good. They just pretend.
Our last five are still collectively better than your starting lineup.

As I have said before, I appreciate the kind words from Mo John and even some Blue Bird and Panther fans, but you have way over rated the Shockers for the coming season.

The Shocks have lost way too much talent. They will be a play in team. I am estimating a 9th place finish.

The Blue Birds and Panthers will be tied for first place. I just do not know how the rest of the Valley can stop these two juggernauts. Besides, the Panthers have the best coach in the league, hands down.

This Aces fan agrees with the comments made that we will miss Holmes and Harris big time. I like what we have returning, but unless we solve our interior problems, we will again be middle of the pack (don't see us third!). Time will tell. Seems dumb to me for Aces fans to be trash talking during the off season with key seniors departing.

Now, can the Aces sweep the Shock in baseball this weekend? My how the mighty have fallen..... :mrgreen:

Lets see, there have only been like 5-6 troll posts in this entire thread, and every one of them is from the usual suspect WSU posters. Hmmmm...

1. Define troll and trolling, please
2. Identify offending posters, please
3. Identify specific offending posts, please

If you have time, define "thin skinned."

Are false and/or misleading posts considered trolling? Just wondering.

Thank you.
