What an ass. If you want to discuss that with Hd you PM him. You don't put it out thier in the open. Hd takes this very seriously, as do I, and it shows a lot when he proves he knows a lot about all the teams such as Arkansas Little-Rock. You can only cap the ACC? Great! I can cap all the BCS conferences and most of the small schools...some people can cap more then one conference and hd can cap all of them.
Then you say he couldn't have capped this game because he posted his play to soon after the number comes out? Successful cappers make most of thier money banging bad opening #'s. Just because you need to sift through box scores and stats for hours to make a play doesn't mean that is what hd does. Him and I cap these games days in advance. We know the numbers we will play and when they are good numbers for us we will hit the openers.
Just because Hd's method is different then yours don't call him out here.
If you didn't mean to offend him well I didnt mean to offend you but thats just disrespectful to send this message out in the open that is so misinformed its ridiculous.
PS...Hd keep up the good work. Back-to-back 7 unit days is impressive. Gl 2m

Good Post
HD, is a big boy and can defend himself. As far as I can tell he's a class act, and doesn't mind a contrary point of view. BTW GD, learn how to spell & use grammar. Not to mention gramper.:nohead: Some of these sycophants are so busy kising ass they lose perspective.
gd- i hear what you are saying and congrats to you if you can cap every game but seeing as how i didn't ask you or anyone else's thought's on this matter except dwag's how about you staying out of our conversation! Wtf does it matter if i ask him here????

Soriano - I have the feeling Memphis lays the wood to Drexel. Syracuse provided the blue print how to beat them (pack in the zone and cover your face), it's just the matter of coaches not letting their ego's get in the way, and play the zone themselves. Still, no matter what Drexel does on defense I don't see them scoring much on Memphis. The Tigers have the athletes to totally lock them up, and shut them down. I wouldn't bet against Memphis here.
Boise seemed a tad high. That is one I didn't have a chance to look at, but will do so soon.

I lurked for a long time, but didn't actually sign up until late Septemeber, and started posting plays in December I believe. I had one of my worst cbb seasons in the past 5 years or so, but still managed to hit about 54% over 400 or 500 plays or so. Also, last season I rarely gave reasoning behind my plays. I did post mlb this season.
great job the last couple days HD, I'm not sure how you find the time to break down all the games but you do a damned good job at it. It seems strange to me that somebody who does so much for the forum must often defend himself and take shots from people who can't cap a lick. Pretty much the reason I don't bother here anymore though I always drop by and check yours and a couple of other guys posts.
thanks man. i am not married, and no kids so I have all the time I need on my hands. I also have my own business, and do a few other things on the side that pretty much run themselves so even more time cause of that. I look at this as another way on income so this is basically a job and my salary is based on the work i put in. as for the shot takers i have pretty thick skin, even though it is definitely started to eat at me. Not sure how many more 6-2 days, but being heavily criticized on 2 the losses I can take.
hopefully we can see you around more as your opinion is valued more than anyone else.

I told you...it is disrespectful. Maybe I was a little drunk from the Giants game but I still don't think this is the place.
Sorry, I forgot this was english class. I have no reasons to kiss hd's ass. I respect the guy and I think this guys claims were disrespectful and very misinformed.
Cornell +10.5
When looking at Cornell's season it should be viewed 2 ways; Before Dale, and AD, After Dale. Cornell's plan back fired on them when Ivy player of the year Louis Dale pulled his hamstring and missed the first part of the season. The Big Red were also without another starter Adam Gore. They wanted to beef up their schedule in hops of winning a non conference game or 2, in turn giving them a better seed in the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately Gore injured himself in the Spring, and Dale went down in the pre season workouts. Cornell wasn't able to notch any big wins, even though they did lead at half against Syracuse, and Minnesota. Well now they have Dale back, who will be in his 3rd game (although he only played 10 mins his first game). Dale played 33 minutes in Cornell's come from behind win over LaSalle over the weekend. He scored 14 points, had 4 rebounds, and dished out 2 assists. More importantly he is getting himself in game shape. I finally expect him to be 100% tonight as Cornell takes on a St Joe's team who basically relies on 3 players to do the bulk of their work. That will be Cornell's main advantage. With Dale's injury they had players get valuable game experience, which should actually make them better as a team. They count on several different players to take on different roles, and perform much better as a team. Also the development of 7 foot center Jeff Foote will give Cornell a big man to neutralize Ahmad Nivins. Nivins and guard Tasheed Carr are the most important players on the Hawks, but those are also positions Cornell is strong at. I would take Dale over Carr, and Foote isn't far behind Nivins. With St Joe's 2 best players being neutralized I would favor the rest of Cornell's role players over the ones on the Hawks. St Joe's isn't overly physical or athletic, something Cornell can struggle with from time to time, so they will not be over matched on the glass. They shoot the ball better from 3, with a 36.4% compared to a 30.9% for St Joe's, and have 2 legit got to scorers in Dale, and all league performer Ryan Wittman, who averages 21.9ppg. They also catch a break as they will not be playing at Alumni Hall, St Joe's on campus gym, but rather will play at the Palestra, since Alumni Hall is being renovated. St Joe's already showed they are beatable there after getting blown out by Creighton. Throw in the fact that the Hawks may be a little rusty since it's been 11 days since their last game against Nova, and you have all the makings for an upset. As I said Cornell will look at its season in 2 parts, before Dale, and after Dale, so I expect them to do tonight what they planned on doing much earlier in the year.....that is getting a big win.

Dawg and Roxy- If you two are referring to my post last night it wasn't bashing or critizing!!!I was asking a question b/c your write up's dawg really sound like a sports repoter more than an average joe capping a game!AGAIN their was no ill intent on my part but if you are going to post your play's them someone has the right to ask a question!It's very obvious that you know your bb and you have all my respect for your knowledge on ALL the teams,but dam man if someone can't ask a question w/o everyone getting their panties in a wad!!! I honestly feel like poeple on these site for the most part are all trying to do the same thing-win some cash.I understand that their is some poeple that enter these threads just to talk shit or to play w/ poeple. I did not and will not do that!!! This is serious to me as well! I promise you i will not ask any more question of you! GL
