Thats kinda defeatist predicting that your only win against us will be in the HL tournament. however, UIC might have troubles getting to the end of the tournament. Your team plays like losers and you talk like a loser so you two make a good pair.
im guessing your saying that bc thats the only win that would count against us. However, we will beat you at the cell. and we will beat you in the HL tournament. Do not think that since you guys won last y ear in the cell gives you a chance to beat us again this year.
We beat you in your house. SAY IT. Thats the only fact you can state right now.
Since you wont say it, you talk about things not really related to actual playing of basketball. By comparing how your "dragon" which has a very close resemblence to barney an a dinosaur is better than our panther bc barney the dragon does more stuff during time outs.
First of all, the things barney was doing was lame. That stuff would not even be cool in a jr high basketball game.
Please, give us something good to talk about, how bout how your lost in your own house.

I think it's great that you flamers are getting so defensive of your precious "dragon." I did not know that you flamers had so much admiration for a dragon. And thank you for inviting me down to your sh*tty stadium so that I could be lit on fire. That was a nice gesture! I would rather be a UWM "tool" than a UIC "Flamer." Admiration with a dragon? And you guys admire a panther....how bout you just rename yourselves to the UWM "Unoriginal Bastards".....aren't there like 7 or 8 D1 teams with a panther name.... And, lucky for you, if you'd like to take us up on our offer you could be a flaming tool..... |

One last thing. I might have figured out the reason UIC has a dragon that looks like barney as a mascot. Because UIC's attendance is made up of all children, the mascot is for the kids. Gotta keep the fans happy! Now I'll stop with the flamers dragon and get back to the key story, a UWM win over the flamers in their home.

Wow, you know your right we did lose in our own home, congrats im sure you feel really proud of this. But let me ask you a question, which is bigger winning a game that puts you in the tourny or winning a regualr season game? Thats what i thought. Long season ahead and after that game I dont find your team that great, they are good dont get me wrong, but this team is no where as strong as it was last year.
You guys talked about McCoy and the center like they were some great players this year. That was a lie, you said your press would break us down again that was a lie. The only thing you were right about was beating us. I guess will have to wait three weeks till you have to play the rest of the HL but I dont see you guys going undefeated this team just does not have it.

All i hear and see is blah blah blah my team lost so i make fun of the mascot.
Heads up on basketball guys. We did not run the press as much as we used to. Usually we run press for 7 min a half. You guys might of saw 5 times when we played the press. Most of the time the press wasnt set.
And the press is used to waste your time outs and force bad passes in order to upset your offense and break the rythmn. In some instances you will get tourn overs. Not every time. Even the major teams get a turn over on ever press. Buy a clue.

once again I disagree with this flamer. We are going to be better than we were last year. More athletic and deep. We bring new guys into the program, uic simply keeps their players there for 5 years, recruits rapists, and has players that are academically ineligible. Gotta be proud of collins!!!  |

But we beat you at your place last year....and us having no chance of beating you at the cell is probably the dumbest thing i read on this board..... And I'm sorry but Barney and Sparky look nothing alike....what is the resemblance? And I'd rather have a mascot which does little skits than one that does nothing at all..... |

Oh one question how many people on this board will graduate in 5 yrs, Armond did it in 4.5, the avg college student goes over 4 yrs so your guys talk about classes mean nothing.

You guys won last year. This is a new season and UIC is in much need of a win.
Last season is last season. New teams. New players.
Let me put this mascot thing to sleep. I do not care if our panther does nothing during time outs. I go to basketball games to see basketball. I dont remeber seeing a mascot playing basketball. We dont need to get excited at our games by some mascot. We have our basketball team to do that.

Allright,
I try to stay out of the back and forth banter between point this finger and UIC points back. But, I have to throw in my two cents and try to be a bit put a little peace into it and possibly get back to basketball talk that matters.
The mascots: Ok, I will have to say is it Sparky? he looks quite a bit like a dinosaur and a little like Barney. Fine, ok everyone gets it. It is hard for a school with the nickname Flames to come up with something. A fire breathing dragon seems to fit. I think that there could be a little something done with the actual costume, but I am sure that it is a budgetary matter.
Same goes for the Panther. His costume is pretty old, but mascot suits are pricey. As far as sideline skits and court actions. Some of the people who do the mascot job are better than others. Sometimes the Panther is pretty decent, others he is about as entertaining as watching the grass grow. I'm sure the dragon is the same.
The "Unorginal Bastards" comment that was made:
Yes, there are many Panther nicknames. Now, I am trying to be non partisan here, but... UWM did change it's colors from cardinal red and white to black and gold. UIC still has the colors of the Fighting Illini. This is a big thing to change in a university, but this comment was made to me while watching the game Saturday. I am not saying anything more about it, UIC has their colors and be proud of your team.
The win in your house/our house:
What is in the past is in the past. UIC outplayed UWM last year at US Cellular. (that sucked to be a uwm fan that day, and what a great win for UIC) UWM beat UIC at the Pavilion Saturday for the first time in 5/6 years. (great for UWM, bad for UIC). But take this in... After last year's tournament, I believe it was Ced Banks who said, "It's not where you start, it's where you finish." WOW, what a powerful statement. UWM and UIC fans take that into account for every game you play. Last year was UIC's year. They represented in the NCAA, UWM went to the NIT.
Let's see what happens this year. It should be great.

If anyone cannot control his emotions, it's Pearl....you rarely, and I mean rarely, see Jimmy lose it. And, all I meant by the counseling thing was that he was majorly affected (in a bad way) by what Pearl did and so there is no reason for him to want to be shaking hands now....I'm not saying it's right, but I'm not going to say Jimmy's wrong either.....I think Pearl should just respect that and not make an attempt. As for your actual team, Jimmy always says complimentary things....it's just Pearl he has a beef with....... Ok i have a question regarding this situation and it is something that was brought up either here or over on your board for UIC, someone made mention that Jimmy did not shake Bruce's hand at the end of the game (which is true, i was there i watched for it and saw Jimmy walk right by Bruce who had his hand extended) and someone said that it was classless of bruce to try and shake Jimmy's hand and rub it in to him. Now my question is what is it then when Jimmy tried to make a deliberate attempt to shake Bruce's hand after beating us here last March, by that statment Jimmy must have been trying to just rub it in then too. Now if you're gonna try and say why ddin't Bruce make the same attempt last year, @ the Pav. it was becasue he couldn't. Yes thats right he was ejected and that bars you from returning to the court so that point is mute. So now i would like a UIC answer on if it was that Bruce was trying to rub it in sat. then wasn't Jimmy rubbing it in last March?  ? |

Yes, there is your answer. Both coaches do the same thing to each other its all on purpose, I dont belive we will ever see them shake hands. But no dought they both want to rub it in on each other, why not then it makes them look like the bigger person.
