The Citadel went 2-2 on its recent road trip, just about as expected, losing to Missouri State and West Virginia, and winning neutral-site games against Eastern Michigan and Maryland-Eastern Shore.  A few comments on the four games:

• Against Maryland-Eastern Shore, Mike Groselle had a very active 13 minutes, scoring 14 points (4-4 FG and 6-6 FT) while pulling down 4 rebounds, and also committing 4 fouls.  Talk about an all-action player.
• UMES reserve frontcourt player Lyvann Obame Obame grabbed 10 rebounds in only 9 minutes of play but didn’t attempt a shot from the field…kind of a strange line.  Obame Obame is a 6′6″ native of Gabon, by the way.
• Austin Dahn was 3-5 from 3-point land in the UMES game.  Alas, in the other three games he was a combined 0-10 from beyond the arc.
• Conversely, Zach Urbanus made 12 of 21 three-pointers over the four-game span.  Joe Wolfinger was actually even better from outside (13-21), including a 5-5 night against UMES (The Citadel made 13 three-pointers in that game).
• Fifteen different Bulldogs played against UMES.  All of them played at least three minutes.
• The Citadel’s win over Eastern Michigan came down to winning the rebounding battle (33-24) while committing five fewer turnovers.  Cameron Wells’ 10-12 night from the line came in handy, too (he finished with 24 points).
• The Citadel led for much of the EMU game, but actually trailed by 2 with less than 5 minutes to play before rallying for a victory in what was in effect the “swing” game of the road trip.
• The Bulldogs lost by 17 points to Missouri State, but it was a three-point game (55-52) at the 4:32 mark of the second half before the Bears pulled away.  That game was more competitive than the final score suggests.
• Missouri State had a very efficient offensive game against Bulldogs, scoring 72 points in only 63 possessions, which is what happens when you shoot well from the field (including 9-18 from 3-land), the foul line, and only commit 8 turnovers.  The Citadel’s defensive stats took a hit in that game.
• West Virginia only committed four turnovers against The Citadel (the Bulldogs suffered 19 of their own).  Three of the four WVU turnovers were steals by Cameron Wells.
• The Citadel had 56 possessions against the Mountaineers, a very slow pace, even by the Bulldogs’ normal standards.  The 19 turnovers are an even bigger black mark in a game that with that few possessions, of course; without them, The Citadel fared well, shooting well from outside (9-16 from 3) and holding its own on the boards (30 rebounds for each school).  It’s just almost impossible to win, or even be in the game, when you turn the ball more than one of every three possessions.
• Incidentally, the Bulldogs’ pace of play for each of the four games was as follows:  EMU (60 possessions), Mizzou State (62), UMES (65), WVU (56).  That’s a little low for the WVU game, but generally those numbers indicate the tempo that favors The Citadel’s style of play.

Before anyone gets too disappointed with the Bulldogs’ 3-3 record, a little perspective.  By the time the turkey was being carved this year, The Citadel already had two Division I victories.  Two years ago, the Bulldogs had two D-1 wins all season…

Now it’s time for the CollegeInsider.com Skip Prosser Invitational, named for the late Wake Forest coach.  The Citadel will host Savannah State (although the Bulldogs will not play the Tigers), UVA-Wise (an NAIA Division II school) and Central Connecticut State (of the Northeast Conference).  There will be two games on Saturday and two on Sunday, all held at McAlister Field House.

The Citadel is hosting the event, I gather, primarily because head coach Ed Conroy was named the 2009 Skip Prosser Man of the Year.  I suspect that attendance will not be very high, given the field, and also because it’s the weekend after Thanksgiving.  Still, it’s two more games for the Bulldogs before beginning conference play, which probably counts for something.

As I noted above, The Citadel will not play Savannah State in the event — it’s an “invitational” as opposed to a true tournament.  The Bulldogs open with UVA-Wise on Saturday and face Central Connecticut State on Sunday.

UVA-Wise (officially “The University of Virginia’s College at Wise”) has been a four-year school since 1970; it was initially a junior college, founded in 1954.  Until 1999 the school was called Clinch Valley College, so if you aren’t familiar with UVA-Wise, perhaps you have heard of it under that name.  Of course, odds are you’ve never heard of Clinch Valley College either.

UVA-Wise has a little under 2,000 students and is located in the southwestern corner of Virginia, not too far away from Big Stone Gap.  Its most notable alum, according to Wikipedia, is Holly Kiser, who appeared (and was the first-season winner) on a reality TV show called Make Me A Supermodel.  I will admit I don’t know anything about this show, which evidently airs on Bravo.  At any rate, I suppose congratulations are in order to Ms. Kiser.

As for the basketball team, the Highland Cavaliers play in the Appalachian Athletic Conference, a league that includes schools like Milligan, Montreat, and Virginia Intermont.  UVA-Wise was 8-21 last season, and has averaged 18.5 losses per season over the last four years.

The Citadel is UVA-Wise’s first NCAA Division I opponent this season, but in past years the Highland Cavaliers have played (and lost to) schools such as VMI, Wofford, and Charleston Southern.  Last season UVA-Wise dropped games to Elon (92-65), Longwood (87-44), Gardner-Webb (74-47), and Coastal Carolina (90-51).

UVA-Wise comes into Saturday’s game with a record of 3-4, having lost on Tuesday in Pippa Passes, Kentucky, to Alice Lloyd College.  The Highland Cavaliers like an up-tempo game, averaging 81.6 possessions per contest.  This has led to some high-scoring games.  UVA-Wise shoots the ball fairly well (other than free throw shooting — the H-Cavs were an atrocious 9-31 from the charity stripe in a loss to Emory & Henry), but turns the ball over a lot and is not a particularly good defensive squad.

The Highland Cavaliers employ a 9- or 10-man rotation.  No player on the squad is taller than 6′6″, which may make guarding Joe Wolfinger a bit of a problem.

Central Connecticut State will be The Citadel’s opponent on Sunday.  CCSU is located in New Britain and has slightly under 10,000 students.  It has been around in various forms since 1849, attaining university status in 1983.  Notable alums of the school include two former NFL head coaches, Dave Campo and Mike Sherman, as well as the legendary Richard Grieco.

Howie Dickenman, a former assistant to Jim Calhoun, has been at Central Connecticut State since 1996.  Dickenman has had a good run at CCSU, which is also his alma mater.  The Blue Devils have made three NCAA appearances under Dickenman, most recently in 2007.  However, CCSU has had two straight losing seasons (going 13-17 last year).  The Devils were 8-10 in NEC play; CCSU hasn’t had a record in conference worst than that since joining the league in 1998.

Dickenman has a young team this season.  Only one senior has seen playing time thus far, and that player (Joe Seymore) has only played fourteen minutes in two games.  Of the six players who are averaging more than twenty minutes per game, two are freshmen, two are sophomores, and two are juniors, including hard-nosed point guard Shemik Thompson, who was the rookie of the year in the NEC in 2008 despite having a plate put into his head following a concussion.

In contrast to UVA-Wise, the Blue Devils like to play at a slower pace.  In the past two seasons, CCSU has averaged 65.9 and 67.2 possessions per game, but this season in two games Central Connecticut State is averaging just 59.5 possessions per contest.  Of course, two games is a decidedly small sample size.

The bigger issue for CCSU is that is has lost both games, against Fairfield (in a game played in Bridgeport) and at Savannah State.  Yes, Central Connecticut State is going to play consecutive games against Savannah State, which is a little odd.  The Tigers have actually played three games since the initial meeting with the Devils, while CCSU hasn’t played a game since the 16th of November.

CCSU simply hasn’t shot well from the field in either of the two games, shooting less than 38% from the field while its opponents have shot almost 46% from the field.  The Devils have also been crushed on the glass, to the tune of a -12 rebounding margin, particularly getting whipped on the offensive boards.  It’s hard to win games when you don’t shoot well and can’t rebound effectively.

Like UVA-Wise, CCSU has a 9- or 10-man rotation, and also like UVA-Wise, the Devils lack size.  The tallest player on the roster, freshman Joe Efese, is only 6′6″.

—

The Bulldogs should handle UVA-Wise fairly easily and will be a slight favorite against Central Connecticut State.  It would be nice to be over .500 when Davidson comes to town on December 3.

“The documents in this series were kept by two brothers, William Henry Street and John Ambrose Sherman Street, who were born in Burton, Sunbury County, the sons of Hon. Samuel Deny Street and Abigail Freeman.  They were educated at public schools in Burton and Fredericton.

William Henry Street was born April 11, 1793.  After completing his education, he engaged in the mercantile business in Saint John.  He was twice mayor of Saint John (1835-1836 and 1848-1849) and served in the militia.  In the General Election of 1842, he ran for Saint John City and, after protest, was awarded the seat.  He sat until the dissolution of the House in 1846 when he retired from politics.  W.H. Street was married twice: in 1824 to Mary Bruce, and in 1847 to Sarah Boyd Orr.  He died in Saint John on April 4, 1875.

John Ambrose Sherman Street was born September 22, 1795.  He studied in his father’s law office and was admitted to the New Brunswick Bar on February 22, 1817.  He practiced law at Chatham, Northumberland County, and in 1823 married Jane Isabella Hubbard.  He was elected to the Assembly as a Conservative member for Northumberland County at a by-election in 1833.  He sat in the House almost continuously until his defeat in 1856.  He then moved to Fredericton and unsuccessfully ran for York County in 1861 and 1865.  He was made a member of the Executive Council in 1851, and served as Attorney-General until 1854.  He died in 1865.

The Street Records pertain to the legal and business affairs of the brothers.  The material is catalogued alphabetically according to client’s name.  The types of documents found here include: indentures, deeds, declarations, bonds, assignments, correspondence, and leases.  The material dates from 1812 to 1863.  This series measures 9 centimeters.”

When our oldest daughter Margaret was born, one of my husband’s sisters gave us a Winnie the Pooh frame with six openings for small photos.  In it we have displayed a photo taken the day she was brought home from the hospital, one of her first smiles, one in a carseat, one from a Davidson football game with the wildcat mascot, one from her first Thanksgiving, and a portrait of her that really shows off her spiky hair.  In our new house, this frame is hanging above her side of the bed.

These days our youngest daughter is looking a lot like her sister.  When we look at the photos we tease our daughters and ask, “Is that Margaret or is that Charlotte?”  Our son Logan wanted to know if he had ever met the Davidson mascot.  I told him that he hasn’t yet because Margaret is the only one who has been to a football game so far.  He wanted to know where he was when that photo was taken.  Margaret suggested that he was inside me, but since the photo was from eight months before I got pregnant I told them that he wasn’t yet inside me.

Of course, that led to the questions about where could he possibly have been if he wasn’t in the photo.  I said, “Well, you weren’t alive yet.  You didn’t exist.”  Then Margaret said, “Yeah Logan.  You were dead.”  And I countered, “No, he wasn’t dead.  You can’t be dead before you’re even alive.”  So Logan started to worry about his state of being at that time.  He asked, “Who was taking care of me?”  Margaret said, “God.”  Logan scoffed.  “God?  How could God have taken care of me?  He doesn’t even have any legs!”  Then we burst into laughter because we were too uneasy to continue exploring those deep thoughts.

Forget what I wrote yesterday. I think it was the idleness that was troubling me. I thought Ayn Rand is putting ideas in me through the Fountainhead, the book I am currently reading. No, it was the lack of work, committment and passion that has been tormenting me. Yes, I am officially a nerd, approved by International Nerd and Geek Convention.

So, this evening, I went to my first Building Design Drawing class at U Sun Oo’s. It’s funny how the person from Design2000 that answered my call recognized my name, after a year and a half of my last tiny involvement as a MC. Too bad that I will not be able to finish the course because my spring semester starts before the course ends. In the registration form, I wrote under my education level: third year, political science. Other students are either already practicing architecture or have graduated with architecture degrees. Damn, I am the baby in class. But I love it. It is exciting. When I asked a question in class, I was so nervous that I had to speak with great pains, the same way I was choking when I had dinner with Amelie this summer. The same way I act goofy in front of U Sun Oo or U Maw Lin. I have never been this nervous before to speak in public, not in any class. I think this is love. This past week, I have been struggling with the notion of love. There is this man, I would blush at the sight of him though I never do with my ex-es or my bf (woops). I would keep my eyes down and play with my fingers, but I knew that I was not in love with him, and with the man I love, I don’t act this way. Maybe I am not the type that gets excited by men. Maybe no man can and will ever be able to overwhelm me to this degree. I have always had a crush on architecture but I was too scared to come out and admit it. I was scared that I would not be right for the discipline, but as Katy says, I will just have to make the discipline right for me. I have been entertaining this idea way too long. I thought about going to NUS for architecture. I ended up at Davidson only because I was too scared to find out if I have what it takes to be an architect. Now it is time to stop doubting myself. I am going to U Sun Oo’s design school and I will be interning with U Zaw Moe Shwe and Amelie. It’s now or never. It’s about finding your true love and this winter break, I will have an affair with architecture.

Biking Corvallis country roads

A year ago at this time I was driving around the West trying to figure out where my life was headed. I was looking at graduate schools, applying to jobs, and shopping for mountain towns while visiting family and friends. Along the way I ended up in Corvallis, Oregon, where I reconnected with another Davidson alumnus named Laura McCandlish.  Laura and I were acquainted at college, but really we were more friends-of-friends to each other. Regardless, she opened the door to her charming house and welcomed me in with open arms.

We discovered we had loads to talk about. Laura had recently moved from Baltimore with her husband, who had gotten a job as a professor at Oregon State University.  Having worked as a reporter at The Baltimore Sun and graduated from Columbia University’s School of Journalism, Laura was forging a way for herself as a freelance journalist out West. She had tons of energy and counsel to share about journalism, J-school, and writing. She was, in fact, the primary motivator behind my decision to start a blog, insisting it was key to have a strip of internet real-estate with my name on it where I could house my clips and exercise my writing muscles.

Among other things we had in common, we both loved cooking and food. Laura’s done a great job writing about such topics on her blog, and elsewhere–such as NPR! Learn about cooking with a most mysterious fruit by reading her recent piece, “Demystifying the Quince.”

A year ago I left Laura’s house inspired. She was so enthusiastic and bursting with ideas. Instead of feeling the aimlessness that characterized most of my road trip, or feeling discouraged that I wasn’t working on anything, I picked up on her energy and left excited about writing and learning, hoping to follow her example of productivity and creativity.

Note:  when I refer to a basketball season as “2009″ I mean the 2008-09 season; “2010″ is the 2009-10 season, etc.

As I did last season, I waited for The Citadel to play a couple of games before writing a season preview.  I like to see the team play a game or two just to get an idea of who is actually going to play, get minutes, that kind of thing (just glancing at the team roster isn’t enough; after all, Ed Conroy seems to have almost as many guys on his squad as the football team does).

Also, even though I love college hoops, it’s still a little early for basketball, at least for me — and that’s despite a poor year on the gridiron for The Citadel, part of the lamest college football season I can remember.

—

The Bulldogs have now played two regular season games, a 64-45 victory over Kenyon College and a disappointing 61-60 loss against Charleston Southern, both taking place at McAlister Field House.

Before examining this season’s team, I would like to take a brief look back at last year’s edition of the basketball Bulldogs…

Prior to last season, I wrote a long (probably too long) post detailing the incredible lack of success the basketball program at The Citadel has had over its long history.  I followed that up with a season preview which I titled “Room for Improvement”.  I think it’s safe to say The Citadel improved last year.  Just some examples:

• 2008:  RPI of 334;  2009:  RPI of 175
• 2008:  1 SoCon win; 2009:  15 SoCon wins (most ever by The Citadel)
• 2008:  6 wins overall (only 2 over D-1 opponents); 2009:  20 wins (only the second team in school history to win 20)
• 2008:  Points allowed per possession:  1.145 (last nationally); 2009:  0.999 (middle of the pack nationally)
• 2008:  Opponents’ effective FG%:  51.3% (last nationally); 2009:  43.0% (upper half of national rankings)

The Citadel also improved significantly in offensive effective FG%, offensive points per possession, rebound percentage, and defense against the three-pointer.

Why were the two seasons so different?  Well, Demetrius Nelson, lost early in the 2008 season to injury, returned for a full season in 2009 and had an All-SoCon campaign; his presence in the post was a key factor in the offensive improvement, and also had an impact defensively.  Also, the freshmen who had been thrown into the mix in 2008 (principally Cameron Wells, Zach Urbanus, and Austin Dahn) were stronger, smarter sophomores in 2009.

They were helped out by rotation newcomers John Brown (a redshirt freshman) and Cosmo Morabbi (a true freshman) and the return of Bryan Streeter.  Those seven players got the bulk of the minutes for The Citadel in conference play, with some solid work also done on occasion by reserves Jonathan Brick, Matt Clark, Daniel Eykyn, and Tyrell McDowell.

This season, The Citadel will have to replace Nelson, Brown, Brick, and McDowell, with the contributions of Nelson and Brown obviously being the most difficult to replicate.  Nelson averaged over 16 points per game, added 6.5 rebounds per contest, and was an efficient force on offense (shooting almost 60% from the field, and often camping out at the foul line, where he shot 77%).

Brown also averaged 6.5 boards per game, along with 1.2 steals per game, not to mention numerous deflections and countless hustle plays.  His insertion into the starting lineup against Bethune-Cookman on January 3 (after only playing 14 minutes total to that point of the season) helped key the Bulldogs’ remarkable run of success in league play.  His oncourt presence will be greatly missed.

—

To replace that production, The Citadel has to turn to new players and hope for improvement from returning team members.  Nelson’s departure left a void in the paint that needed to be filled, and to fill it Ed Conroy is counting on 7-footer Joe Wolfinger, a graduate student who previously played at Washington.

Wolfinger, based on what I’ve seen of him so far, is more of a finesse player than Nelson was.  He can shoot the three, but needs to be more physical to succeed in SoCon play, where he will face post men not as big as he is, but generally more athletic and just as strong.  Against Charleston Southern he struggled, going 4-16 from the floor with three turnovers (although he did have nine rebounds).

He took a lot of shots against CSU, and even if he hadn’t had such a poor night shooting I would suggest that he shot too many and (more importantly) too quickly, at least in the framework of The Citadel’s offense, which relies on a moderate pace of play (fewer than 65 possessions per game last season) to create open looks and frustrate the opposition.  I’m not going to crush him for that after one game, though; he has to get accustomed to playing with his new teammates, and he also has to get used to playing a lot of minutes after being mostly a bench player for the Huskies.

Tangent:  he’s also going to have to get used to the officiating at this level of Division I, a good example of which was on display last night, as all three officials somehow missed a blatant traveling violation committed just before CSU’s game-winning basket.  However, the Bulldogs should not have been in a position to be victimized by a bad (non) call in the first place.

Incorporating Wolfinger into the offense is going to take time.  It may cost The Citadel a game or two in the early going (it could be argued that it was a key reason the Bulldogs lost to the Buccaneers).  Then again, it took The Citadel a few games last year to figure things out (which is how a 20-win team could lose  a home contest to 19-loss UC Davis by 18 points).  As long as things are running smoothly by the time league play rolls around, it’s all good.

Admittedly, that gives the Bulldogs just two weeks, as Davidson comes to town on December 3…

The task of providing the same type of energy that Brown brought to the team will likely fall to several players, including the 6′6″ Streeter (who in many respects is a bigger version of Brown, all the way down to the horrific free throw shooting) and 6′5″ Harrison Dupont, the only one of the incoming freshmen to have played in both games so far for The Citadel.

Streeter averaged a little over 14 minutes per game for the Bulldogs last year; he will probably come close to doubling his time on the hardwood this season.  He brings a lot of strength and grit to the table on both ends of the court, and is a good finisher, provided he isn’t fouled (36.4% from the line in ‘09).  His problems from the charity stripe can make him a liability in late-game situations, just another reason he needs to improve in that area.

Another player to watch in the “gets the dirty work done” department is Morabbi, who appears to be stronger this year (and definitely has more hair).  Morabbi’s play in the latter stages of the contest nearly won the CSU game for the Bulldogs, both defensively and with his outside shooting (as he told Rafu Shimpo, “My specialty is shooting”).

Morabbi will occasionally freelance offensively.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, even in Ed Conroy’s disciplined attack, as it keeps opponents honest.  He can also make the corner 3, the thinking man’s favorite three-point shot.  He had a tough night from the field against Kenyon, but was back in form in the CSU game.

Someone who The Citadel would like to see return to good shooting form is Dahn, who struggled from the field last season after enjoying a solid freshman campaign, falling from a 39.7% 3-point shooter to 32.7% beyond the arc.  Now, 32.7% isn’t terrible, but most of Dahn’s shots are from 3-point land, so overall he shot just 32.6% from the field in 2009.  The 6′4″ Dahn is a good defender and a mainstay in the rotation, but his value increases markedly if he can knock down shots.

Zach Urbanus is the epitome of dependability, always in the right place, usually making the right decision, and capable of making big shots.  A comparison of his freshman and sophomore seasons shows just how consistent he is, as in both years he shot 44% from beyond the arc, had 3.3 rebounds per game, and 2.9 assists per contest.  He did improve last season, as his overall shooting percentage increased substantially, and he also cut down on his turnovers.

Cameron Wells is getting some pre-season recognition as a potential MVP candidate in the Southern Conference.  He certainly didn’t hurt his cause against CSU, scoring 23 points on 10-16 shooting and being an all-around defensive pest (including 3 steals).

The 6′1″ Wells is a vital cog in the offense.  He can bring the ball up the court against pressure, penetrate into the lane and finish.  Wells is a good free throw shooter, is able to make the occasional three-pointer, and is an outstanding perimeter defender.  He’s a very smooth performer with a complete game, and he’s still getting better.

Other returners from last season who will see action include Clark, a slender 6′8″ junior forward who is a career 35% three-point shooter, and Eykyn, a 6′4″ native of Charleston who logged double-digit minutes in 11 games last season.  While neither was a rotation regular, both had their moments last year and will be counted on again in 2010 (indeed, Clark has played at least 11 minutes in both games so far).

Some of the newcomers who may see the court include the well-regarded Dupont (a native of Oklahoma who has played 19 combined minutes in the first two games) and 6′8″ forward/center Mike Groselle, a Texan who impressed in a brief appearance against Kenyon.  Also making his debut against Kenyon was 6′2″ guard Ben Cherry, a freshman from Charlotte.

I would guess that all three of those players will be contributors to The Citadel’s cause this season.  I also wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of other players on the Bulldogs’ sizable roster eventually get a chance, as 16 different players participated in The Citadel’s exhibition game against Georgia Southwestern.

Whether Bulldog fans are ready for the season to begin, the Bulldog players and coaches have to be ready, because The Citadel is about to embark on a stretch where it will play nine games in eighteen days, including three on consecutive days this weekend.  The Bulldogs will play in the Hispanic College Fund Challenge, hosted by Missouri State (which beat Auburn on Tuesday).  The Citadel will also play Eastern Michigan and Maryland-Eastern Shore in that event.

The Bulldogs will then venture up to the “other” Charleston in a matchup with West Virginia, formerly of the Southern Conference and currently in the AP Top 10.  After tangling with the Mountaineers, The Citadel will host an in-season tournament of its own at McAlister Field House, playing UVA-Wise (an NAIA school) and Central Connecticut State (of the Northeast Conference).  That tournament honors the late Skip Prosser.

After that, The Citadel begins Southern Conference play, with the aforementioned game against Davidson followed two days later by a game against Georgia Southern.  The last game of the “nine in eighteen” run is arguably the biggest, as The Citadel will host Tom Izzo and his Michigan State Spartans on December 7.

MSU is currently ranked #2 in the nation and, of course, played in last season’s NCAA title game, losing to North Carolina.  It will be the second year in a row a Big 10 school has come to McAlister, although I suspect there will be more “juice” in the arena than there was for Iowa last year.

That’s quite a way to start a season.  It will be a challenge for the players and coaches (heck, it’s going to be a challenge for me just to keep up with it).  After the fun of last year’s campaign, I just hope that this year The Citadel doesn’t revert back to its old, lots-of-losing ways.  I don’t think it will, though, as (barring injury) the core of the team is too solid for that to happen.

The start of college basketball season signals the return of the Garnet Army to the Colonial Life Arena. The “Army” was developed around the start of the Southeastern Conference schedule of games last season, to unify the student section for primarily men’s basketball games. Its objective: to create a bigger home-court advantage for the Gamecocks. Since that time, the men’s basketball program lost only one game at home, and attendance swelled. As the Garnet Army moves into its second season and first full season, organizers hope to continue to grow the tradition.

When Darrin Horn was named head coach of the men’s basketball team at the University of South Carolina a little over a year ago, he was adamant about selling out and making the Colonial Life Arena shake on a nightly basis. At his introductory news conference on April 1st, 2008, he put the emphasis on the students’ importance of being the basis of a passionate fan base, saying “Our students are going to be our most important fans. To me and to those guys sitting right there [the players], our students will be our most important fan base. We need our students to drive the energy and to have the Colonial Center rocking every single night.” Coach Horn’s desires became reality with the debut of the Garnet Army on January 21st, 2009 in a game against Florida.

The concept of a unified student section started in a November 2008 meeting which had Jeremy Long, Student Government Secretary of Athletics, Eric Nichols, the Director of Marketing, and Horn among those present. The first decision to be made was to locate what part of the Colonial Life Arena would be designated as the student section. The next step was to determine its name. After throwing around some ideas, the decision was made to let the students submit ideas as to what this new student section should be called. After reviewing the many ideas that were submitted, the name ‘Garnet Army’ was chosen.

Long, whose job duties include boosting student attendance at sporting events, said there were two main purposes for the new name. Long said, “The name had to be marketable and represent the university well, which is what [Student Government and the Athletics Department] wanted to show.” The next step was developing a t-shirt. After debating over several designs, Long, along with others, settled on the garnet, black, and white camouflage design, to which Nichols says “the shirt is so ugly, it’s cool.” Long also said that Coach Horn was very supportive of fully integrating the students as a part of the basketball program, describing the student body as Horn’s “second team.”

After the Garnet Army caught on, it became an excellent marketing tool, according to Nichols. Darrin Horn organized a ‘Garnet Army Boot Camp,’ in February 2009, designed to encourage the students to continue to be a part of the atmosphere needed to compete in the Southeastern Conference. In fact, five students took part in a 5-on-5 drill with members of the Gamecocks’ Basketball team.

More recently, the Garnet Army Season Ticket Tour began to make a push for fans to buy season tickets for the 2009-10 basketball season. The tour goes around Columbia in a Garnet Army Hummer and stops at different locations to sell tickets as well as featuring the University’s mascot, Cocky, the cheerleaders, and different games to win prizes. Nichols believes that the creation of the Garnet Army has made basketball relevant again. He said, “It gives basketball an identity to help break through the football shadow. Football is so huge around here, and [The Garnet Army] is something different and it’s something that sets [basketball] apart.” Nichols said that he hopes that the early success that the Garnet Army has garnered will continue to grow as the basketball program does.

Much like what Duke has created with the ‘Cameron Crazies’ and Pittsburgh has with their student cheering section, ‘Oakland,’ the Garnet Army has unified the fans and provided a greater home-court advantage at the Colonial Life Arena according to James, a host for WUSC’s sports show “Section 26.” “The Garnet Army has mostly brought a sense of unity amongst the fans,” said James. “Anything like that can give a home-court advantage to anybody; I think the players really pick up on that and feed off that sort of energy.”

The type of play that came from the Gamecocks following the creation of the Garnet Army certainly shows the improvement. The end-of-season statistics for the men’s basketball team shows they had only one loss against Tennessee, in the eight home games with the Garnet Army present (This does not count the postseason tournament game against Davidson. Even though it was considered a home game for South Carolina, students had to pay for tickets and the design is to keep the game as neutral as possible).

Long believes that it would have taken much longer for the idea of the Garnet Army to catch on if it was not for the January 21st game against Florida in which the initiative debuted. “Honestly, we were very lucky we brought it out with the Florida game,” said Long. “I believe if we brought it out at any other game it would have caught on, but there would not have been the excitement.”

As both Long and Nichols say, the nationally-recognized student section for the South Carolina basketball programs will continue to aid in the growth of the student support, the basketball programs themselves, and the ability to bring more fans in to show that the University of South Carolina is on the rise.

Today we had a great seminar on the St Andrews MLitt, I enjoyed very much the work my fellow students presented.

I took the chance to present my case against Davidson’s argument for anomaly.

“Richard Bellamy was born in 1827 in London, England, the son of George and Nancy Bellamy. He immigrated to New Brunswick at the age of nine with the “Blue Coat Emigrants”.

Bellamy settled in Stanley, York County, where he was involved in business and surveying. Later he moved to Nackawic where he owned and operated a large farm. He served one term on the Municipal Council Board. He was first elected to the New Brunswick Assembly as a Liberal member for York County in 1886. He was re-elected in 1890, but when the election was protested, he resigned and did not run again. In 1891, he took a seat on the Legislative Council of New Brunswick and sat until the dissolution of that body in April, 1892. Bellamy never married, and died at Nackawic in November, 1892.

The bulk of the Bellamy Papers, which date from 1854 to 1895, is comprised of correspondence concerning such topics as land surveying; lumbering; agriculture; roadbuilding; and various aspects of New Brunswick politics. In addition to the correspondence, there are also legal documents, warrants, receipts, and other miscellaneous items. This series measures 3 centimeters.”

I recently posted an interesting Yamaha XS650 by this same shop (Loaded Gun Customs), and now they have this cafe’d 1989 HD Sportster up for sale. It’s definitely got some nice mechanical bits on it (the rear-sets and clip-ons), and it has a nice simple look to it. My own Sportster hasn’t been converted quite this far yet, but its getting there.

This bike is probably a 1200, but the seller doesn’t actually say. However, they did put new 10:1 pistons in it, and the cylinders look awfully new, so I would guess they plopped a 883 to 1200 upgrade kit on it and called it a day. It is missing the headlight adjustment nut cover, which is kind of odd given that the rider would have to look at the exposed bolthead and any pooling water every time they rode the bike.

Anyways, there are 2 days left in the auction, and the price is just over $3K. Reserve hasn’t been met, and the Buy-It-Now price is $5,200, so your guess is as good as mine as to what the reserve price has been set at. This is a pretty nice example of a Sportster cafe compared to most that we see…

It’s around that time when everyone wants to let their loved ones know they are thinking about them. Come make cards for troops in the military to send home. You will be helping out a nationwide effort called Cards for Heroes.

The program will be at the Davidson Public Library on November 12, 2009 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. For middle school age and up.

As Bruce Springsteen – “The Boss” – was strumming on stage at Time Warner Cable Arena, anxious politicians and supporters were glued to laptops and television screens watching the results of Tuesday’s election results trickle in, precinct by precinct.  While the region will see two new mayors in Charlotte and Mooresville, for the most part voters returned incumbents to continue the job they were doing.  In Huntersville, a conservative seat on the board was filled by a newcomer to the political scene, but one whose conservative views may very well match those of her predecessor.

Cornelius saw the three incumbents returned to continue their public service and were joined by two experienced planning board members who may again closely match the experience and progressive vision the former commissioners share.  Certainly, in neither Huntersville nor Cornelius, will there be a major shift in the course the towns have been headed when it comes to land planning and zoning decisions.

The parity in the elections of Huntersville and Mooresville’s Mayoral contests show just how split the towns may well be in what voters are seeking from their chief elected official.  While the political philosophies in Huntersville could not be more stark in Brian Sisson and Jill Swain, the electorate was almost evenly split in the closest election I can certainly recall in that community. In Mooresville, only 16 votes separated incumbent Mayor Bill Thunberg from challenger Chris Montgomery.  That race centered on fiscal policies – the same issue in which Sisson and Swain were most sharply contrasted.

In the election of our regions’ Mayors – Anthony Fox, Jill Swain, and Chris Montgomery – all three find themselves edging out their opponent with less than 2% separating them from their challenger. (Mayors Tarte and Woods were unopposed.)  Each needs to examine carefully the philosophies, views, and talents from their challenger that the public embraced.  It will not come natural, but they should try to seize on those traits and beliefs in which nearly half their community supported and work to build a strong team and consensus on their board.

It will be much easier in Davidson where the two political newcomers already embrace much of the philosophical direction of their predecessors based on the feedback we heard in the Chamber’s candidate forums last month.  Matthew 22:14 states, “Many are called, few are chosen…”  Last evening, some very good people were elected to lead our communities. Some other very good people were not.  Such is politics.  Few are actually given the opportunity to serve.

In the hands of that chosen few lay our unbridled opportunities.  Let us hope they put aside the challenges which distract them from the good they can do and capitalize on the strengths that will help us all reach our potential as a region.  Let us work together to build a community and region so compassionate and strong that the generation coming behind us say of us later, they gave their absolute best…

The past few days have been so dreary but the sun is shining in Carolina today!  And the Shannon Edwards Team of Keller Williams is…..writing an offer on a house in River Run today!  River Run is located in the prestigious Town of Davidson but convenient to all the shopping at Birkdale in Huntersville!  Amazing how the sun shining can make all things better….that’s why there is nothing finer than to be in Carolina!

It’s that time of year when election signs have been outnumbering the real estate, yard sale, and lose the weight placards which pop up around intersections.  Incumbents smile at everything you say and actually claim they’re glad you said it.  Newcomers to the political scene state they are going to straighten things out and you can be pretty sure someone wants to stretch your budget just a little more with new taxes or fees.

The electorate is a funny thing.  In most cases we will travel around the world to fight for democracy, but we sometimes will not take the time to vote in an election.  Voters recognize a name on a ballot and cast their vote, sometimes without any real knowledge of those candidates’ views.    The Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce has held three candidate forums to give our communities a chance to hear those views and the local papers have done a great job of focusing on their qualifications.  Now it’s up to the registered voters to decide who will lead their communities.

Some may ask, “Why bother to vote?”  Our local government affects our homes and businesses directly.  Local government provides the fire and police protection, takes up the trash, and sets the tax rates.  Through zoning, they determine what type of business locates where, how they operate, and how they market that operation.    Perhaps no single election will impact your business and your life as much as this local election where you have the opportunity to elect town officials and school board members.

On Tuesday November 3rd, please take the time to vote for the candidate of your choice.  Make your own decision that best represents your views and interest in town and education matters.  Weigh carefully how their election could impact your business and your family.  Remember – the only bad decisions are made by those who don’t take the time to make them.

Sempre sull’onda dei test video questa volta ho provato a fare un video direttamente con il telefonino [Samsung Soul] alla moto ferma…

Purtroppo devo aver sopravvalutato la potenza del lampione sotto cui mi ero fermato… infatti il video è venuto parecchio scuro MA quello che conta penso sia l’audio più che il video qui…

Per il video mi attrezzerò con calma… almeno fino a che il tempo regge!

ps: che dite? li ho spesi bene quei 90€ per le marmitte al Faaker?
