I need to get back in shape, bloated to north of 210 this winter!
But we respect the creators game so we will pick the other up and shake their hands if they survive the fight.

I'd say so. Spallina was the ultimate high floor recruit and he's delivered on that end. On track for 70+ points with probably around 40% shooting percentage and less than 1.5 TO/g. Jury is still out on if he has the athleticism to develop into a true first team AA/Tewaarton candidate. But as a freshman he's already established himself as an efficient and productive player who can play the qb or the finisher.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 2:42 amSpallina has 23 goals and 17 assists in 9 games.
Is it reasonable to say he has lived up to his billing?

He has lived up to billing . . Leading scorer on team . Even after extracting the six softer opponents that can inflate stats he shows fairly well despite the reservations expressed here about his athletic limitations .JeremyCuse wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 10:11 amI'd say so, even after the Vermont opener he's still shooting over 40% and has done a good job of not forcing things. He needs to try and improve his foot speed and continue to work on being able to counter physical close defenders as he has had some struggles with guys like Makar and Brower. That said as a true frosh with all the hype he's been very good/excellent and the last few games he has amped up the riding. Clearly some stuff to work on but I think he's definitely lived up to the billing.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 2:42 amSpallina has 23 goals and 17 assists in 9 games.

The one constant among my Hobart friends is the same one with Hopkins fans: ‘maybe we should be in D3, at least we’d win some hardware’.

Took my son to a bootleg wrestling event, real The Wrestler stuff, inside the last month and at a halfway point break they let kids play in the ring (must be a “self insured” program). So I got in with my boy and messed around, put him in a soft figure four leg lock, let him jump off the top rope into me etc. even that I can see a 15-45 min match of “fake wrestling” being a solid exercise let along Greco Roman which I tried one year in HS after deciding JV BB was my limit but didn’t like the constant stuff to make weight-it’s wildly unhealthy long term.10stone5 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 12:31 pmWrestling ?Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 11:07 amI need to get back in shape, bloated to north of 210 this winter!
You’re heavyweight playing shape already.
Just need some moves, watch the Spencer Lee replay this year’s
NCAAs - dude did a spin out, take down, reversal, pin in about
5 seconds for the upset over Lee.
aka ffg, expecting Cuse to enjoy a romp along the lines of18-10 after watching Bart games especially if fogo Shea is out.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 8:31 amAllow me to interject with better trolling.

I concede nothing. Positive thinking and a supply of anti depressants is all I need.stupefied wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 12:38 pmaka ffg, expecting Cuse to enjoy a romp along the lines of18-10 after watching Bart games especially if fogo Shea is out.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 8:31 amAllow me to interject with better trolling.

I don't think it took long for Spallina to recognize that Hiltz is the man he needed to buddy up with.
Ha ha! Cuse remains a middle-of-pack team. ND will probably reveal this next week. I hope not of course but there are too many holes still: FOs, riding, clearing, GBs, 6 v 6 D. It's another level IMO they won't reach this year.gymman1031 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 3:04 pm Orange fans:

Nobody has made Syracuse look as pathetic as the Irish have the past couple of years. As you said, Orange are just not at that level right now. I like Will Mark a lot but SSDM and face offs are still too much of a weakness when it comes to competing in the ACC consistently.tech37 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 3:20 pmHa ha!

John Galloway led SU to a national title as a freshman starting goaltender. Hard to compare attackmen vs goalies but difficult to argue against that when you are talking about “best”.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 3:06 pm … Joey Spallina had 40 points coming into today’s game against Hobart.

So, I have to ask … is Joey Spallina having the best freshman season of any Orange player since Mike Powell?

I mean they couldn’t have shot better than they did until the Q4 hot dogging. First 2.5-3 quarters shooting was absurd. What everyone sees when they look at this roster. First two goals were perfect.gymman1031 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 3:04 pm Orange fans:

if joel white or john galloway were on here, they might ask to have your posting priviledges be taken away.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 3:06 pm … Joey Spallina had 40 points coming into today’s game against Hobart.

Will leave that for others to decide, safe to say he's a pretty darn good player though.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 3:06 pm … Joey Spallina had 40 points coming into today’s game against Hobart.
