About 6 seconds into the interview, but who knows how reliable that is. Man get some cream for that or something.


You need to grow up. Seriously.


When I read your first sentence I thought is this guy serious? The following remark confirmed my suspicion.

I'm aware of that and that is why I didn't immediately accept them as gospel. I've seen fans from all fanbases say things that aren't entirely accurate, so I like to get independent confirmation before relying on them as fact. Some WSU fans seem especially subject to this sort of hyperbole. One time I even read where a WSU fan proclaimed Orupke as a future NBA lottery pick based on his "objective" in person evaluation.

I'm not sure why asking for a box score would be such an evil thing.

I have provided 100% of what is available. As far as I know there are no box scores. Maybe there's a Portugese language version somewhere on a Brazilian website, but I'm not going to go looking for it.

What hyperbole? As near as I can tell, you're questioning whether Marshall played the entire roster. The only available info is that he did. How is that hyperbole and why would someone reporting from the game intentionally (or mistakenly) report the wrong lineups? Do you think WSU is playing and substituting like it was a Valley game and then intentionally misreporting the lineups in order to look better?

I don't find any hyperbole in the tweets. It seems you don't want to believe that Marshall played everybody - and that is just really nit-picking. If you choose not to believe the tweets, why don't you just ignore them instead of constantly responding to them? You drowned that worm for no good purpose. The fish ain't biting today.

No kidding...I didn't realize the regular season started in the summer nowadays.

The first sure sign that the season is nearing is the chirping. I'm ready for the season to start now.

I never said that. I said that we don't know how much everybody played because we don't have box scores showing minutes played. The walkons could have played 30 seconds or they could have played 30 minutes.... Just because a guy typed a tweet saying a certain player took a shot doesn't mean he wasn't just playing mopup minutes...

Admit it................this isn't last year's team anymore.

:Violin:


Tonight we only played newcomers, walk-ons, and Orupke and just won 80-39. You want to go ahead and crown us now?

If anybody wants a box score, I could make one up and put it on some website so that there could be a link, but that's as close as you're going to get to one.

The reports are that WSU started the Fr, Orukpe, and Carl Hall. The substitution pattern had the walkons getting the first shots.

WSU won 80-39. This opponent tied for first in Brazil's top pro league last year. Edit: That is not correct. this was a U19 team. It is the first team WSU has played in Brazil that is considered close to what UNI played on their trip. Edit: This opponent may match up with the bottom end of what UNI saw. Personnel changes may have made WSU's opponent less than they were last year. Any comparisons to UNI's games are pointless.

After getting reamed for posting the only available info about previous games, I'm not posting any of the tweets about this game.

Here's a write-up about the previous game from a local newspaper by a writer who apparently writes for WSU. Dunno if it's enough justification for some folks, but here it is.
