New Blog: Anonymous Eagle covering Marquette!

Remember how some people (myself included) were a little down or concerned about the fact that Marcus Monk didn't play on a practice squad last year? Well, it seems that some of that may have been his choice. After being cut by the Bears (who had drafted him in the 7th round) at the September 1st cut and a one-week stint on the Giants practice squad, Monk chose to go back to school at Arkansas, starting work on a second degree while also using his fifth year of NCAA eligibility in basketball, much as Greg Paulus is doing at Syracuse. He had dabbled in basketball in his freshman year, averaging 1 PPG and 2 RPG in about 8 MPG over 10 games. Last year, though, he made a more significant impact, playing 16 MPG over 8 games, averaging 5-3 with a steal a game tossed in to boot. That impact included being one of the stars of a 96-88 midseason upset of #4 Oklahoma. In that game, he scored 8 second-half points and did his part in "holding" NBA #1 draft pick Blake Griffin to 21 points. So, for all the talk about athletes like Julius Peppers and his exploits on the basketball court, it looks like we might just have another member for a good pickup b-ball team.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Panthers made their own team and schooled the Bobcats on their home court?

Cmon. That has to appeal to some of you guys.

Ha. We'd totally win.

Although the Bobbies might try to claim Peppers based on his UNC background given that seems to be about the extent of their scouting.

Ouch! Haha...

Not like they do good in FA either. And yet they still manage to beat the crap out of the NBA Champions twice. What is up with that?

The Lakers (particularly Kobe) don't take them seriously.

(He’s been thrown out of at least two or three games against us because he’s bitched about the officiating.)

Haha! I think it means he doesn't like being shut down and he doesn't like it.

If he wants to go cry to the officials about being shut down, by all means do it. If more teams would just play Kobe, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and the rest of the superstars in the NBA as physically as the Bobs with a highlight on those stars, you’d find that their W/L record would show it.

I don't know if it's that.

It’s just that we’re an expansion team and Kohb expects the referees should treat us like it.
