He's baaaak.

Now watch.  He'll grow his hair long again and then put it in one of those "man-buns".

Jealous?

Holy crap awesome!!

Ha.  Not at all.  I use to have long hair when I was his age.  But I wasn't good enough to play after HS ball.  He had long hair before and then cut it this past season....hey, maybe that's why he's lights out right now?  

oh for ****s sake

nice try, El-poofhead.  too funny.  oh for ****'s sake.  go to another thread.

Name calling.  SAD

So Pritzl is the reverse Samson.

#Badgers win!

Van Vilet will be interesting to watch this season.  Not much playing time accrued last season but heard he was a tough nut in practice.  This might be his  year.

    Now that is rich - especially coming from you.  Please, as a mod, just go to another thread.

These summer trips are a great idea, especially for a team with so many new faces. It's like training camp for hoops.

Plus they get to travel to exotic places for free (sure to take the sting out of missing things like Spring Break later on) and develop the all-important "chemistry" in the process.

I hereby approve. And guys like Pritzl and Van Vliet scoring and building confidence? Hell yeah Go Badgers!

It's his thread! 

Pritzl's hair must have grown overnight.

I know.  Hence my reply.  I should've put one of those icon thingy-dingy's at the end.

Absolutely, they get a big head start on the season, not to mention all the team building being on the road together.  I love it.  

Be nice if there were box scores though.  

Good to see Vlilet and Pritzl take a step up.   I wonder if Happ is working on his outside trey and free throws?

Probably not, but he has been working on his hair

Free throws yes.  3 pointers: I hope not.

Damn Frank the Tank draining 3's made them think they can all do it.  

Remember Nigel last year at the start of the season? He was launching them like the game depended on it. I say leave it to the guards.  Call me old fashioned, but 7 footers need to be mostly about getting rebounds and going to the rim, IMO.

I have no problem with a big man taking threes if he can hit them at some kind of clip, but I agree, Happ can work on free throws all day long, he'll make his money knocking down bunnies.  Now if the Belgian can rebound and hit threes, I have no problem with the match up drawing a big defender out of the lane.  

I can't wait to see this group play.

So is Brad Davison the new Zack Showalter? He looks about 16 years old but I guess he can really  play.

Better get a fake I.D.!

Once he gets his hair game figured out, he will be fine

hee hee.    Love it.   Keep it going, man.  But please do it in another thread.

BTW..... they let YOU be a mod?  really?  Hmmm....So that what they call people like you.

Sad.   

I passed the test

Wow.  That's a new low for you and this board.   You should be ashamed of yourself. 

Does Boris know you are putting forth racist, neo-Nazi propaganda on his TimesFour.   Shame on you, El-Ka-Racist.  Especially after all of the racist Nazi stuff this past weekend.  How old are you anyway?  

I was summoned.  

Did anyone ever tell you you're ****ing horrible at this?

Keep it up and a good thread will get locked.

I just wanted to preserve this for when you blame other people for pointing out you say stupid things.  

I'm 43 and more of a beard man than a hair man, so we probably are not compatible.  

Ahhh...and "the others" join in.   Who'd thunk it?   

So you're the arbiter of what is stupid on this board?  Really?  You? 

I say a lot of things.  Mostly to be try and have a  funny take (maybe I need to put a one of those smiley icons every time for you).   Some times of it's just to be different and funny.  Obviously you and I don't have the same sense of humor.  But I was trying to banter back and forth about the hair.   

But for some reason, you detoured to the Nazi jokes.   Not funny at all.  Don't you think it's just a bit too soon after a young woman was killed this past weekend?

I do blame other people for trying to be so righteous that they think they are the arbiters of what is stupid and what is funny.   I thought Mods are suppose to moderate the board, not antagonize posters.

p.s.  I do apologize if my hair comment about Pritzl made you insecure about your male-pattern baldness.  That wasn't my intention at all.   I just found it funny when he would tuck his long hair back in a bun.  You obviously didn't.  So what? 

p.s.s.  My older brother started losing his hair too in his early 20's.  Me?  I got the hair gene from my mom's side.

You're probably right.  I guess I just don't get it.

back to Badger Basketball: 

I would like to know how Iverson has improved his game and how Thomas and Illikainen are doing on Defense and the boards. 

I wasn't sure where he was going with it.  I think he may have turned himself into some kind of Pee Wee Republican.  I'm not sure but everyone should stand back.  It could be contagious.

And as for SDPF, your "jokes" at a young man's choice of hair were pretty stupid jokes, it seems pointing that out has triggered another victim rant from you.  You certainly are a thin skinned one, since drawing attention to the lameness of your attempt has really sent you over the top.  An example would be a meme I posted highlighting how nazis and people who associate with nazis are all assholes.  This is a belief I hold dear and true and unwavering.  As part of your victim rant, you turned that into accusations that I am "putting forth racist, neo-Nazi propaganda", an accusation that no thoughtful or rational person would make.  So, twice now in this thread you have looked stupid by your words and your lashing out.  You could, of course, double down, alert us all how through private messaging hordes of other posters are taking your side.  Perhaps you could cite how the site has gone downhill and lost posters and traffic.  Perhaps you will fabricate some new form of defense to protect your own sense of nobility, I don't ****ing care.  This is a thread about Badger hoops down under.  If you elect to say something worth being mocked once more, please be prepared this time, cause it will happen again.   

...why can't we just talk about my hair?

We go to bed dreaming about it

Grow up.   This is a Badgers hoop forum.  You were the one who turned the worm on it.   If you don't have something positive to add, then don't

I thought it was young mens hair that turned your worm on.  

You think you know a guy...

Oh boy.................
