Thanks melrose. Not sure if this was directed toward me or @wingtee. If to me, then thanks! If to wing, then I agree and would happily join in on the drink!

 

You don't drink? Based on some of your posts, I assumed that you were inebriated. I'm just kidding. No, I'm not. Yes I am.

 

Well, Wing. I respect the fact that you are at least willing to reflect. But, honestly, I am 70 and reading what you are saying hurts my heart.
Many of those students stay in the USA and if we don't want our asses kicked we best do a better job ourselves.
Everything that exists is stardust. ALL DNA is made up of the same 4 pieces. Expand your family to embrace it all and the world is a beautiful place.

 

Plus, he apparently has some good blended whiskey. I'm not into blends, though.

 

And we are all out of Africa.

Its all relative and we're all relatives.

 

Never even have had a beer in my life. Now I did do plenty of smoking growing up till around 55.
Now just high on life and my 8 dogs.(rescue)

 

Yes also enjoy, wing and AKA and hate to say Tampa. Really most posters but everyone has favorites.

 

My HS girls lacrosse team has more players of color than the other schools combined. This year we reached out to ESL students. Today, optional practice, I drove past two of them walking home. 2 miles. Gave them a ride, but taught me a lesson about hard work.

some say he's still growing...7'6 and still growing is scary

 

Wow. Now that's tall.

 

I could not get back on under my username. So I am now going by pigpen. Hope I can do this.
Looking forward to schooling you in basketball Again soon.
I was off for awhile

 

I guess there possibly could be a male Gator fan that doesn’t drink, NAH…….

 

Yeah does not seem likely. I drank for first time when I turned 18 in the service. Some guys got me drunk as heck.
Then once in awhile I would have a drink but did not enjoy it. So just became a pot head.
So have drank just not in 30 or so years.

 

I'm proud to say that I haven't had a drink in the last 30 minutes.

 

anyone else not excited by the young 7'6 guy? Nothing personal, I just wonder about a lot of things with that much height at that young of an age. I would take a Vanover clone, but I honestly (with full disclosure, not watched any video of the kid yet) don't know if that's the guy we need to hitch our wagon to for recruiting..

 

I've seen a lot of video on him and personally think he's worth the risk, but yes anyone that height will have their challenges to stay healthy

 

the health thing is always a big beacon of concern for guys that big that young. He's athletically built, not a 7'6 tank like some guys that have passed through NCAA hoops. Hopefully he finds a good place to play ball.
