Ok...the first person who can CONFIRM where/if these will be broadcasted out somehow, wins a COOKIE!

I can't wait to hear about Oden and his new toned down physique. Too bad BRoy and LA didn't go, but I can understand with no contracts that is a big risk.

INFO/VIDEO/PICS etc-SHARE YOUR OWN!

I scrounged the interweb for the best I could find. Here's hoping this post doesn't go to waste unlike the TurkyGlue one...but I got a good feeling we will AT LEAST have Paul until Dec 15 if not the whole year and beyond. (this time I hyperlinked to new windows! So no annoying having to go back constantly.)

 Random Factoids worth mentioning about ManSap( I didn't choose that nickname...PLEASE suggest another!)

- Played at LA-Tech, the same school as Karl Malone. (double burn on Utah.)

-Accolades:  Louisiana Mr. Basketball (high school) (03), Fourth Team Parade All-American (high school) (03), WAC Freshman of the Year (04), Second Team All-WAC (04), WAC All-Newcomer (04), First Team All-WAC (05), First Team All-WAC (06), WAC All-Defensive Team (06).

 -only player in NCAA history to win three straight national rebounding titles.

General INFO/STATS:

His Homepage

ESPN Player Page(with Gamelog loaded, look at between Dec and Feb, he was a BEAST. Surprising amount of steals for a 4/5 and also his O-rebounds were off the charts, almost averaged more of those than Defensive)

Wikipedia

Yahoo Sports Player Page

NBA.COM Player Page(ESPN is better IMO, more detailed)

College Stats

College Highlights: (can you find this range his agent was talking about?)

Still looking....damn hard to find. I would ask around from Utah fans or Lousiana Tech people if they have any stowed away on a HD or random site.

Add them in a reply and I'll edit them in.

Interesting tidbit, Bing video search allows mouse-over play on their vids, pretty cool.

I would say from all indicators they are a rather chummy lot...but what say you Blazer Edgers?  I just hardly hear stories about players in the NBA or elsewhere really doing a TON together, they just seem to go off to their own little worlds most of time, back to their home cities to practice/train, then more or less show up, back slap each other a few times and collect their money. Such is life in proffesional sports...

Any stories about pro/con relationships with any players? Or Coaches/assistants and players? Or even Mike Rice and players, do they REALLY love the man as much as I do?

Was Steve Blake and Bayless seen chowing down at the Agency exchaning high fives over ribs!!?!

Was Broy stood up for a round of Ice Skating at Loyd Center by Mr. Oden?!?!

GO!

First, that Lewis and Clark with the B-Ball was epic.

Secondly, the new one..eh..not so much. It looks like a OSU Basketball coming in from the Milky Way( perhaps bringing some talent to OSU's roster one can hope...or it could be their magical gameball...) done in early 90s special effects style.

So what say you BEdgers? Shall they answer our cries of bringing back a classic logo?

Or is this new logo an awesome new addition, not unlike fans who use the word 'Zers to refer to our Rip City crew?

VOTE!
