No, its KU. A large portion of your fanbase is over 60 and played the sport when they had no three point line and dunks were frowned upon. This is the fanbase that trashes their own players in an effort to get them to stay instead of, o I dunno giving them the "one more year" chant.

Fear the beard, Rob!

Is Jason Bennett's number available? Or has it been retired?

I think what I love the most from the highlights is that he's a 7 footer who catches the ball, turns his shoulders square to the basket and attacks the rim like a doberman on a steak. None of the fancy spin-o-rama's and no look passes we saw on the Freddy highlights. That plus the fact that for a guy that looks like he could squash you like a bug, he seems pretty god damn adorable.

this signing by Frankie and the gang.

Welcome Upshaw. The Kid looks good.

Read his FB "About Me". Holy Gangsta. Long as he can play, who cares. Will be nice to have a Big with some moves.

Nothing says gangsta like a sweater over a polo and a rainbow bracelet. If you think Robert Upshaw is "gangsta"...thoughts and prayers/meditations if/as you venture out into this world, man.

Re-read my post, I said his "About Me" on FB was Gangsta. Didn't say Upshaw was... You're thinking waay too much into it.

Excited to have Upshaw. Made my week

Upshaw's first real game is this Thursday at Clovis@ 0730pm PST at Clovis North High. I'll try to get there and get some photos or some vids.

Following that SJMHS plays a Dec. 5 game at 6pm PST vs Garces. Never heard of the school nor do I know it's location. But I'll try to get to that one also.

Most of December is taken up with local tournament games.

DEc 7-10 at Clovis East Invitational and

Dec.16-20 Mission Prep Tourney

Dec. 27-30 Clovis Elks Classic at Clovis High School.

Goddammit! Didn't mean to send that. It appears Clovis North is a newer school, but they are kicking ass all over in sports in an attempt to reach the first division.

So this should be a hella game. Also, one of my coworkers has kids that attend SJMHS. They are close friends with Upshaw.

Stop, we have an "in".

Not many folks here.The game was moved because these two schools play a playoff football game tomorrow.
Robert wasn't warning up with the squad. But man he sure is a big man.

Clovis North has this inflatable thingy that their players run through for pregame intros. Just like the one KU uses at their footrack stadium

good reporting, william. i thought about going, but decided not to.

williamthewildcat · « **Reply #67 on:** December 01, 2011, 11:14:14 PM »

SINGS won the game. The game was typical of the 1st real game of the season. Lots of rushed shots and guys trying to do too much.

Robert had 7 dunks, one of which was a thundering put back that got everybody on their feet. He had a very nice low post move where he pivoted and found room and then laid it up with the left hand.

Clovis North is a good defensive team. The consistently trapped and caught SJMHS guards unaware causing turnovers our just poor offense sets.

That kept the ball or of "Big Bob's" hands for most of the second half.
R.U. Plays pretty good D, but you could tell he was in his first game of the season too. Seemed a little winded.

Had a SWEET pair of purple Under Armor high tops too. My camera is still in Kansas. I've got some pics but I know I'm going to have to buy a new camera.

Good times, boys, good times.

Also, Robert Upshaw had an even more thunderous, one dribble, and slam from the left baseline.

That he missed.

It was rough ridin' awesome. If he would have nailed that one, the basket would have collapsed. The used him a lot tonight above the key, attempting to use him as a "pick and pop" type screen to free up the guards. It wasn't very successful because the Clovis North guards moved their feet very well. After those high screens RU would roll to the lane, but they had little success getting him the ball due to the defensive pressure from Clovis North's guards. So R.U. spent significant time (too much) without seeing the ball.

Defensively he's dominant. However, I just don't think that you could take much away from this game. RU is so tall and lanky that that he blocked shot with relative ease. Seems to have a nice stroke from the line too.

Good times fellas, good times.

Looks like SQM is in a tourney this week and could play up to 4 games, beginning tonight.
