I did go to the reception. The usual suspects were there-Newcombe, Birdsong, Pavlechco, Big Al, etc. The asst. coaches were there including Griffin who worked the room and others. Nate Davis came and brought the seniors Zach Thomas and Steven Brown, Nana had another commitment he couldn't make it. In Nate Davis form, it was a little low key and subdued. I was looking for a little enthusiasm but all I got was a gray haired gentrified group of golf-clapping seniors and the younger folks were quiet couples. The only student that came got kicked out because of his fake ID. Zach Thomas and Steven Brown awkwardly got some dinner and sat down in the midst of the seniors and they must have already gone to and passed the wine, dine, and act fine class because they were very calm and polite. Essentially the tough OOC schedule is so Davis can more easily pick out our teams weaknesses so he can work on them for league play. He basically said the game is up to the players and practice is to go through all the scenarios in the game and he is there during the game to help out how he can. He basically said North Carolina and Maryland may beat us because they have higher caliber players but they will not be out coached. He said Bucknell's strength is their competitiveness. Also, he said the freshman Paul Newman is going to be good and he is a top offensive rebounder. I didn't get a good vibe about the team at all. After Towson and the reception, we are sitting at 0-2. I am 12th man on the giveaway team. No parting gifts coming my way and the top guys are getting the assists. Newcombe was pushing the Monmouth bus trip. I just may go and encourage everyone including the students to fill it up. We need a turnaround here. |
