Basketball media day is today Tad Boyle will be on at 11am and Linde Lappeat 11.45 am - anyone able to listen in and give us some notes? I have a conflict.
I would hope not considering I am not sure I have ever seen his "jump" shot."You won't recognize Sabatinos jump shot." Boyle
Boyle says SHT knee (opposite of the knee surgery) is still bothering him. He would like to see him healthy so someone could redshirt. The media members failed to ask who he would like to redshirt.
I would think he'd mean Grodon, but he's been getting a lot of love from his peers for this first few months on campus.

Has to be Gordon, right? I mean Jelly and XJ are starters at this point.
I think Talton is a 100% redshirt, while I don't see how Gordon could redshirt. He is our second PF behind Dre, and I believe he pretty much has to play. On another note, I was a little rattled by Boyle's comments. I am worried about the slow development of our freshman. It could be another slow start out of the gates. I really hope we don't stumble too badly in Charleston and go at least 2-1. I also think that Boyle isn't going to sit up there and completely inflate the heads of our freshman, yet keep them humble and working hard. So I guess time will tell. Can't wait for November 9th.
I think Tad's sandbagging because he's managing egos and trying to get all this talent to swallow their egos a bit to play team defense and unselfish offense.
With how young they are it'll probably take getting beat up a time or two before that message begins to sink in.
The 2012-13 CU fanbase pledge.
Repeat after me:
I, (state your name), will not get discouraged should this team lose early season games to quality opponents. I realize that basketball is not football, and that a few early losses are not disqualifying events. I further recognize that Coach Boyle's teams start slow, and that a young team needs time to grow. I will continue to stay positive, even if this team enters finals break at 5-5. I believe in all that is Tad, and will continue to pack the CEC, regardless of how the KU and CSU games go.
Also, **** Baylor.
Just saw Dinwiddie interviewed on News 4. You know, he may very well become a mayor someday. What an impressive young man.
It's very important to remember the "**** Baylor" part.
Probably. I give you Rumbin's fan pledge from his preseason preview-preview
