Buy/Sell regarding scheduling...

[Maroon Eagle]

In order to kill two birds with one stone and get Sidney and Bost eligible as soon as possible, Stansbury and Cunningham use one of the two available game slots to schedule another game between the end of finals and December 18 so that Sidney will be eligible for the Bahamas part of the Bahamas-Hawaii trip while at the same time move Bost's earliest eligible date to play up.

I'm buying-- even if-- actually especially if -- the game has to be scheduled against Blue Mountain.

Schedule/Eligibility Ineligible: Bost (academics); Sidney (suspension)

November 6 - Lindsey Wilson (exhibition)
November 12 - Tennessee State
November 19 - Appalachian State

(if not Belhaven itself) opponent. This schedule is set-up perfect for getting the new guys some minutes in the early season followed by a tough stretch once Sidney returns. Expect opening night line-up to include

Bailey
Augustus
Johnson
Bryant
Beckham

Marcello has that in the paper too - Bost will only miss the SEC opener. Not sure how that is possible. Stay tuned. We'll be right back on As the MSU Basketball Team Turns.

I have also heard that Sidney's debut may be in Jackson.

Stansbury say:

Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury told ESPN.com Wednesday night that Bost would miss the SEC opener at Alabama on Jan. 8 and debut for the Bulldogs against Ole Miss on Jan. 12. But the Bulldogs haven't finished their nonconference schedule and are still pursuing moving a game from November to December or adding a game in December that could push up Bost's debut to the SEC opener.

Hey, if Georgia can pull it off, we can too.

That tournament was ours for the taking.

He will get the games added, just might be ****** opponents, but what's new.

Just add a game Dec 15th and then one or two between Christmas and Jan 8th.
