No I know that, but I never see stronger tall guys.
There's a boatload of huge, tall guys at my gym.
"The only easy day was yesterday."
That makes me feel better, lol of the tall guys I hang out with I can bench the most (Im excluding squat and deadlift for this discussion) but the smaller guys outright blow us away. And its not like its only 1or 2 guys benching heavy, they all are. Call it jealousy but Ive worked my ass off for pretty much the last year and my bench is nowhere near that (not even 200 yet .
pure work ethic, hours trained not inches tall.
i wanna be repping 225(+). i will get there though, my chest comes along the slowest.
STEP UP TO THE (pullup)BAR.
current - 155-160lbs, 7-8%bf
Bench - 2*BW
Squats - 2.5*BW
10 consecutive muscle-ups
Be a 175lb, 6%bf, cross-trained...FREAK
Shorter people do have advantage, their ROM is shorter. Thats why taller guys get heavier in powerlifting..
Its actually a case of Darwinism in progress...
Shorter guys were tired of always getting made fun of and getting their a**es kicked, so they evolved...
roddy - i do a variety of db presses for chest. i bar bench less frequently
current db press:
STEP UP TO THE (pullup)BAR.
current - 155-160lbs, 7-8%bf
Bench - 2*BW
Squats - 2.5*BW
10 consecutive muscle-ups
Be a 175lb, 6%bf, cross-trained...FREAK
if your shorter you have less distance to move the weight, its like having two sprinters race, one do 60m, an the other do 100m, obviously the 60m sprinter is going to win in most cases..they also have more leverage as well
these are known facts, its very simple physics, i dont get why people are lying about it
Let me chime in as one who knows about being a tall ass(6'9"). Taller people have certain mechanical disadvantages. BUT we have all sorts of fun potential to get reeealy big and strong.
If you haven't broken 200 on the bench in a year, you may need some help with your program and technique. Also, at 190 it looks like you need to eat something, son.
i dont think being tall has anything to do with it this is going back to blaming stuff on your genetics
Short arms and short legs is the best type of body for weight lifting that is a facto!
It's more about limb length than height, but height usually indicates limb length. Limb length = leverage. I know a guy who's 5'8" but has longer arms than me (I'm 5'11") and he has tons of trouble benching. He'd kill me on squats tho. If you ever watch a strongman competition, you'll hear them talk about how having long legs puts you at a disadvantage in deadlifts and squats, and you'll actually see the difference.
20 yrs. old
162lbs. -- 180 lbs.
Bench - 210 -- 245
Squat - 250 -- 240 ATF
Deadlift- 180 (just started these) -- 300 (yay)
But a taller person will generally weigh more..and should have more muscle mass
I dont think the difference in height is as significant as you guys think. If you want to give credit anywhere..let it be their diet, and their training.

Generally, if you read a piece of advice on the internet, assume it's wrong until proven otherwise. This applies especially to "conventional wisdom". -Belial
Shorter ROM will make a huge difference.
5'11" 185lbs 9% BF
S/D/B PR's 445x1, 495x5, 335x1......Looking to get stronger and do a PL Meet this summer!
Chronological Picture Thread 2005-Current
Pro Status or Bust..2011
At Large Nutrition, Optimize YOUR body!
For a non-sarcastic reply: I think biomechanics definitely play a role in lifting. Obviously a 6'5" guy is going to have to squat much futher down to reach a legal depth than a 5'3" guy. However, there are many other factors involved and there are certainly tall guys who can squat more than shorter guys.
Also, I thought having long arms was an advatange in the deadlift?

The Top News Stories of 2012
I've put together my list of the top 10 news stories of 2012. But before I unveil the list, here's a couple of observations. The "fiscal cliff" that Washington has been obsessed with in recent weeks is not one of the top stories of the year because it is a completely manufactured crisis designed to move public attention away from the urgent need to create jobs toward the far less urgent need to reduce the deficit.
Second, I don't know how this happened, but New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie seems to be involved in several of my top 10 stories of the year. Read on to see what made the list ... and what didn't. — Keith Boykin

Holstein and dairy enthusiasts from all across the U.S. and five other countries will be coming to Dubuque this week for the 2014 National Holstein Convention, dubbed "MOOvin' on the River."
The convention kicks off on Wednesday and goes through Saturday.
The Iowa Holstein Association is teaming up with Holstein Association USA, out of Vermont, to organize the event, which they expect will bring more than 1,000 people to the Key City.
Larry Landsgard is the 2014 convention chair and an Iowa Holstein Association board member.
"Dubuque was ideal for our group because of the number of options available for offsite event opportunities in addition to the convention space available for the adult and junior member activities," Landsgard said.
The trade show floor at the Grand River Center in the Port of Dubuque will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday. People can stop by the more than 60 dairy-related booths.
According to a media release from the Dubuque Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, the 2014 National Holstein Convention is expected to generate $1.75 million in local economic impact.

Grinning Cat! I love your Obama meeting with Republicans. Ridicule, sarcasm, hyperbole, mockery, satire, exaggeration, distortion, imitation, caricature, and parody all have their place in making a point. This one is a jewel. I'm reposting.
"The U.S. Supreme Court has said it: Corporations are people, and can be religious people!
Where do corporations' religious beliefs come from? Why, the Bible, of course!"
So Tom the Dancing Bug presents Bible Stories for Newly Formed and Young Corporations:
Paraphrasing slightly, Joan: "The real takers are the wealthy who inherit their fortunes. And their ranks are growing."
The Rise of the Non-Working Rich
"more than three quarters of self-described conservatives believe 'poor people have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything.'
"In reality, most of America's poor work hard, often in two or more jobs.
"The real non-workers are the wealthy who inherit their fortunes. And their ranks are growing."
Who isn't working? Wealthy people 'born into the right family.'
What to do? First, restore the estate tax in full.
Second, eliminate the "stepped-up-basis on death" rule. This obscure tax provision allows heirs to avoid paying capital gains taxes on the increased value of assets accumulated during the life of the deceased. Such untaxed gains account for more than half of the value of estates worth more than $100 million, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Third, institute a wealth tax. We already have an annual wealth tax on homes, the major asset of the middle class. It's called the property tax. Why not a small annual tax on the value of stocks and bonds, the major assets of the wealthy?

Kunkletown Travel Tips
Small Town Living in Kunkletown Cabins
There are so many great sights and experiences in the Kunkletown area, and Monroe County's Poconos vacation rentals offer you great home base for seeing it all. Kunkletown is a tiny little place that's near both natural beauty and a thriving cultural scene. Kunkletown cabins and Kunkletown house rentals are a quaint springboard to a whole lot of vacationing goodness. In Kunkletown, you are right in the middle of a lot of natural wonders, with a pretty short drive to some of the mid-size city culture that isn't so overwhelming as you might find in a huge urban area.
Not Too Far from the Lake
Kunkletown cabins will give you a local's eye view of the town. You're only about fifteen miles drive away from a 2,900 acre state park called Beltzville. Beltzville Lake has over nineteen miles of shoreline, so crowding is never a problem. If you like swimming, fishing, or just want to rent a canoe and paddle around, you have plenty of space to do so on. They even have speed boats available if you like a little thrill on the water. The best part is, Beltzville State Park has miles of great hiking trails you can explore, and most tourists have never even heard of it.
Not Completely in the Woods
You actually can have too much serenity. Sometimes you want to take in some local culture. At less than twenty miles from Allentown, Kunkletown house rentals will let you take in a lot of city life. From the Allentown Art Museum to America on Wheels (where you can see Mack trucks, muscle cars, and soap box derby cars), you can do as much here for your and mind and your children's as you can for your body on the trails. Whether you love the outdoors or indoors, Kunkletown lets you have it all.

Chair / 2010
Manufactured entirely from PET plastic, Crease is folded into form from one sheet of material. The material used is completely recyclable and is comprised of 60% post consumer recycled content sourced from plastic bottles. The development of the chair was motivated by the desire to create a completely flat packed chair for freight and storage. While the design is currently intended to be used as an interior task chair, there will be a range of seats including a lounger, a stool, and a children's version of the existing chair. Available in 12 unique colours.

These came out really great! They are one of my favorite cookies and very easy. They are way better than store-bought pfeffernuesse.
So named because recipes typically include black pepper, pfeffernüesse (fef-ER-nyoos-uh) means "peppernuts" in German. These small spice cookies are known by many different names throughout Europe, where they're a popular treat during the holiday season.

New Subway Map-Themed Game in Development: Mini Metro!
This looks extremely promising, especially since development on Third Rail seems to have stalled (no updates on progress since mid-last year). It's being developed by small New Zealand-based studio, Dinosaur Polo Club (great name and logo!). Here's the preamble from their website:
Mini Metro is a minimalist subway simulation game about designing efficient subway networks. The player must constantly redesign their line layout to meet the needs of a rapidly-growing city.
The game, currently available as a rough and ready alpha version (that's pre-beta, folks!), currently has four maps — London, New York, Paris and one other that I haven't identified as yet. Each map in the game looks like that of its real life equivalent, right down to the colours used to represent routes: a neat touch! That's London seen in the mesmerising GIF above.
In short, I want to play this right now. Hurry up and take my money.
Game of "1870"
A railroad-building board game set in the 19th century, complete with stock market shenanigans. Part of the "18xx" series of games, this particular game is set in the Mississippi Valley of the United States. Looks like the game allows for some creative and unusual track layout: I love the the loop-de-loop in the middle of the board!
This totally reminds me of a misspent youth playing Railroad Tycoon and beating those robber barons into submission.
(Source: petelovespurple/Flickr)
Here's how it works: Each turn, you build some track and add a new station. And so do your opponents. Because you're not the only line in town, you have competition. Your goal is to serve as many desirable blocks as possible, while keeping your opponents at bay. How? Well, every piece of track you lay down cannot be crossed. So every turn, you are building walls. The only way through is via stations.
Over time a subway system will develop, its layout determined by how you and your opponents have chosen to play the game.
I would buy this game in a heartbeat.
Fully Playable Ms. Pacman Game Based on the Washington, DC Metro Map
This is what you get when you trawl the internet late at night…easily one of the strangest things I've come across on the Web lately. You can actually play this map as if it was a game of Ms. Pacman — note the bow in her hair and Cindy Crawford-like beauty spot, just like the original game. Instructions on how to play are here. (Hint: it's much easier to use the R O Y G B keys to move between route lines than to try and navigate with the arrow keys.)
You can also check out the author's time-scaled interactive map of the DC Metro while you're there.

Montreal Metro Board Game
Sent my way by Twitter user @andrewsalzberg, here's another board game based on a transit system - this time, Montreal's Metro! (Readers may remember this post about "The London Game", a board game based on the London Underground.)
Looks like a pretty simple "race" game, but it captures the aesthetics of the actual map quite nicely.
(Source: Openalex website, via @andrewsalzberg)
Let The Game Begin!
Today I learned that there's another game based on the London Underground apart from (the somewhat ridiculous) "Mornington Crescent" - "The London Game". Where can I get a copy?

CHANDLER — The Havasu Stingrays Swim Team had seven swimmers compete at the Holiday Festival Invitational in Chandler, with two earning a Top 10 spot in the evening finals.
Caden Carver, 14, led the way, swimming in the Boys 13-14 Division. Carver had two first place finishes, the 100-yard backstroke in 58.22 seconds and the 200Y backstroke in 2:05.43. He also swam to a second place finish in the 50Y backstroke (27.67), fifth in the 100Y freestyle (52.80), and the 200Y IM (2:11.67), sixth place in the 200Y freestyle (1:54.76), the 500Y freestyle (5:11.30) and the 400Y IM (4:45.30), and thirteenth in the 50Y freestyle (25.01).
Also earning her way to finals was 10-year-old Kylie Williams with a 10th place finish in the 50Y backstroke (35.12) in the Girls 10 and Under Division.
Other swimmers representing Havasu were Lyndsey Brueckner, 10, Aubriella Carver, 8, Bailee Liska, 13, Tatum Liska, 11, and Andrew Nixdorf, 11.
"We were fortunate to have some beautiful weather last weekend, which helped produce some really fast swims. We were really pleased with some of the huge time drops, especially from three of our swimmers that just aged up into the faster age groups," said HSST assistant coach Annette Johnson.
"Caden swam some tough races not only dropping time in preliminaries, but then dropping again at night. I'm looking forward to our home meet in January and a successful championship short course season afterwards",

They were looking real good for just the second meet in our short course season."

During the January 2009 transfer window Arshavin was persistently pursued by Premier League club Arsenal. On 2 February, transfer deadline day, Andrei Arshavin had flown into England and was staying in a Hertfordshire hotel, just a few miles from the Arsenal training ground. At around 10am,[7] he left the hotel and was rumoured to be heading back to Russia, but with less than an hour of the transfer window left a bid from Arsenal was accepted by Zenit. By this point he had agreed personal terms and passed a medical, but a payoff sum by Arshavin himself to Zenit was supposedly holding up the deal.[8]

Jared Leto went shopping in drag
Jared Leto went to a supermarket dressed as transgender woman Rayon, who he plays in 'Dallas Buyers Club'.
Jared Leto visited a supermarket in drag.
The 42-year-old actor was cast as HIV positive transgender woman Rayon in 'Dallas Buyers Club' and to get into character he would go out in public dressed as his alter-ego and his cross-dressing garnered him a lot of attention.
Quizzed on whether he wondered around the streets in drag, he told ShortList magazine: ''Yeah, I did that a lot and - as pretty a woman as I thought I made - I didn't fool anyone.
''I went to the supermarket [in drag], mainly to stare at food because I wasn't eating, and I got lots of looks. Some were just like, 'Wait, is that ... that guy from films? Dressed as a woman?' But I also got a look that was like, 'I don't know who or what that is, but I don't f***ing like it.' A judgement, a condemnation.''
Jared - who took a six-year break from Hollywood to work on his music career with band 30 Seconds To Mars - was forced to lose weight and spent hours in make-up for the film and he although the he doesn't enjoy the movie making process he insists the ''end product'' is worth the discomfort he experienced.
He explained: ''Losing 40lb - that's not fun. Let me be clear: there's no fun making a movie like 'Dallas Buyers Club'. I don't think one joke was cracked the entire time. Obviously, there are funny bits in the film - I don't think it made the final cut ... on the whole, the process of acting can be very tedious. For this movie, I was in make-up for eight hours. Twenty minutes is annoying, y'know, but eight hours?''
Asked about why he came out of semi-retirement to make 'Dallas Buyers Club', Jared added: ''I love film. I love the end product. So, no matter how hard it is, the rewards are always worth it.''

Fennel and Sausage Risotto
Photo: © Frances Janisch
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed meat crumbled
- 1 large fennel bulb, halved cored and thinly sliced
- 5 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups arborio rice (10 ounces)
- pinch of saffron threads
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook over high heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes longer. Cover and keep warm.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer; keep warm.
- In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, for 1 minute stirring constantly to thoroughly coat it with the fat. Crumble the saffron into the wine and add it to the rice. Cook, stirring until the wine is absorbed. Add 1 cup of the warm stock and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until nearly absorbed. Continue adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until it is nearly absorbed between additions. The risotto is done when the rice is al dente and suspended in a thick, creamy sauce, about 20 minutes total. Season the risotto with salt and pepper. Stir in the sausage and fennel along with the cheese, butter and parsley. Serve immediately.

"Food, baby! PETA is wrong, I'm right. I'm adhering to the natural order, tooth fang and claw is it! To try and tell me that I can't eat flesh is just weird. I dunno even how to respond to such stupidity. This meat is food, case closed."That cow? Food. That dog? Food. That grizzly bear? Food. That roadkill? Eh... food. If you're a man, eat meat. If you don't eat meat, you're not manly. And eat red meat. Who only eats the white stuff? That's not meat; it's gotta bleed before it's meat. What are ya? Some skinny punk? A girl? In case you haven't guessed, real men eat meat. They are obsessed about meat, and the bigger, redder, bloodier the better. They will often brag about how rare they like it; "it should moo at me!" Chicken and (most) fish barely qualify as manly meat, but if the guy is eating poultry, you can bet it's a big greasy drumstick. If it's fish, he probably got it with dynamite or it's some kind of shark. Bonus points are awarded if those items were deep fried or smothered in hot sauce (or both). The other end of the spectrum goes up to deer, bears, dinosaurs and anything bigger, depending on the setting. Bonus points if the meat is something he himself killed. It never occurs to them that meat is simply part of a complete meal involving salad, meat, vegetables, dairy products, fruit, and this bowl of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.note Also prevalent is a conviction that however much non-meat food a man eats, he'll still be hungry, for some reason. If a girl is a carnivore, unless she's a holdout for low-carb, it's to show that she's tomboyish. A subtrope of Testosterone Poisoning. Related to Manly Men Can Hunt and unrelated to Large Ham (although overlap is possible). Bacon Addiction is a Sister Trope. See also Real Men Hate Sugar.

Did doctor waterboard daughter in experiment?
Delaware State Police via AP
DOVER, Del. - To many people, Dr. Melvin Morse was a brilliant pediatrician at a renowned children's hospital and a best-selling author who parlayed his research on near-death experiences into appearances on "Larry King Live" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Away from the spotlight, however, Morse was tormented by personal and financial problems and, according to court records, wrestled with depression, substance abuse and even suicidal thoughts. His latest trouble involves allegations of waterboarding his 11-year-old stepdaughter, using the simulated drowning technique to bring her to "a possible near-death state," police have said.
Based on his work involving children's near-death experiences, police suggested he may have been experimenting on her.
Morse, 58, was accused in July of grabbing his stepdaughter by the ankle and dragging her across a gravel driveway as her 6-year-old sister watched. When police did a follow-up interview last week, the girl said Morse had held her face under running water at least four times since 2009, using faucets in the kitchen, bathroom sink and bathtub. Her mother, Pauline Morse, witnessed some of the waterboarding but did nothing to stop it, police said.
Both Melvin and Pauline Morse are free on bail. They face a preliminary hearing Thursday on felony endangerment and conspiracy charges.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Melvin Morse called the charges an overreaction by authorities. An attorney for Morse, Joe Hurley, said the idea that Morse was experimenting on his own daughter was "the sheerest of speculation."
"I will tell you that I think the real problem is the post-Bradley hysteria," Morse told the AP, referring to the case of Earl Bradley, who was convicted a year ago and is serving 14 life sentences for sexually abusing scores of his young patients over more than a decade.
Child spurs near-death research Morse began researching near-death experiences in children about three decades ago after the near drowning of one of his patients. He was fascinated by the spiritual experiences the girl, and other children, described to him, including images of light, heaven and tunnels.
He sought to prove that drugs were causing the hallucinations, though he said his research proved otherwise. In 1990, he published "Closer to the Light," which spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. He was featured in a Rolling Stone magazine story, and television shows had him on to speak about paranormal experiences.
He worked for Seattle Children's Hospital and Seattle Magazine listed Morse among the city's best doctors for more than a decade beginning in 1995, according to Morse's website. But by 2007, Morse had retired from full-time medical practice and moved to Delaware. Hepatitis C that he contracted in 1998 while treating children became too much of a toll on his health for him to continue working full time and he was declared disabled, he said.
While Morse once earned a six-digit income, he has struggled financially for years and owes tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes.
"I have the most ordinary reasons for that — the collapse of my income and my first divorce," Morse said. "I do not have an adversarial relationship with the IRS. ... I'll eventually repay my taxes."
Morse's financial problems are outlined in court records from a contentious divorce and custody battle with his first wife that stretched on for nearly a decade.
Morse's ex-wife, Allison Morse, claimed her ex-husband has abused prescription drugs and made false accusations against their adopted children that have led to criminal charges against them.
"He is a pathological liar and he makes stuff up about his own children," she told the AP.
At the same time, Allison said Morse was a good dad and never abused their three adopted children during their marriage of almost 20 years.
As the marriage began to unravel in the late 1990s, however, he became more and more emotionally unstable, she said.
"He was just angry all the time and just really had some severe emotional problems going on," she said.
Allison said she was never able to find out why her husband was so troubled.
'Suicide gesture' In 2006, Morse said in court papers he was once the subject of an inquiry by the Medical Quality Assurance Commission in Washington, which he blamed on stress from his marital problems. Morse said he accepted three months of psychiatric treatment.
In that same court filing, he denied that he had a history of multiple suicide attempts but said he made a "suicide gesture" when his marriage was falling apart by swallowing prescription pills.
In separate court filings, Morse referred to an earlier suicide attempt and being taken to an emergency room in November 2001 for "drug overdose, alcoholism, and depression."
Morse has published several books over the years, and writings include a quasi-autobiographical story in which he describes how an imaginary falcon told him to move "quickly in the dark of night" to the East Coast, where his destiny lay and where he could find rich soil for his "BIG IDEA" to grow.
Morse, who said he uses "a lot of irony and a lot of tongue-in-cheek" expressions when he writes, told the AP his "BIG IDEA" involved a theory of consciousness based on his study of children who have suffered cardiac arrest.
"These children made it clear that consciousness persists despite having dying, dysfunctional brains," he said. The theory is that brains are linked to "a non-local consciousness and a timeless, spaceless reality," which Morse calls the "God Spot."
Morse currently lives with Pauline Morse in Delaware with their two children, the 11-year-old girl and her 6-year-old sister. Their marriage was at one point dissolved, and it's not clear if they remarried. Their children have been placed in state custody.
His website, http://spiritualscientific.com, is strewn with commentary about God, love, family and death.
Just before Melvin Morse's arrest last month, P.M.H. Atwater, a fellow researcher into near-death experiences, said she saw him at a conference in Montreal.
"He gave one of the best keynote addresses he has ever given in his life," she said.
But when she went to hug Morse, Atwater sensed something was wrong.
"I just picked up a lot of worry, a lot of stress, a lot of problems," she said.

Brandon Morris is rapidly rising up the charts as one of the nation's top college basketball prospects for 2012.
The 6-foot-7, 200-pounder is one of the star attractions for Miller Grove High, which is ranked No. 3 in the nation by USA TODAY.
Morris has around 10 early offers, including Florida, UGA, Clemson, Auburn, North Carolina State. He has not been offered by Georgia Tech, but is considering the possibility of playing close to home. He talked about both schools.
Morris on Georgia: "It's a good offer. I'll give them a good look. My mom and uncle both said it's a good place to go."
On Georgia Tech: "I heard they were showing interest [in me]. I really don't know if I would be interested in going there. While I want to play close to home, I've seen the way that Georgia Tech plays and I think it would be hard for me to fit in with their program …" Morris also said he didn't like how Georgia Tech was using his close friend and former Miller Grove teammate Mfon Udofia.
Morris plays in the shadows of his heralded teammate at Miller Grove, Tony Parker. The 6-9, 270-pound Parker is a U.S. Junior Olympian with more than 50 offers, including Duke, Georgia Tech, and UGA.
Morris is the prototype at swingman, and plays "above the rim" in a way which reminds many of former South Atlanta star Derrick Favors. Morris has incredible body control while elevated, always finding a way to create shooting opportunities. He averages 11 points and 7 rebounds on a team that goes 10 deep on the bench.

An Atlanta-area basketball star that wants to stay close to home, and, despite all of the advantages of attending GT, it doesn't appeal to him because the program is in such shambles. That's a pretty strong indictment. This is a new low for us.
January 11th, 2011
7:18 am
Be haard to fit in at GT and he does not like the way they are using a former teammate. Does not say much for a pipeline from Milton to Tech.
Wonder if Tony Parker feels the same ?
Go get em Mark Fox build a National power in Athens..
January 11th, 2011
7:28 am
What a great opportunity to play close to home at UGA, get the real college experience, be on a team that is on the rise, and still be close enough for friends and family to come watch him play. Let's get Parker committed and then Morris. They can play together in high school and lead their team to a title, then do the same in college. GO DAWGS! GO FOX HOUNDS!

Hopefully, we will have a new coach that will go after the stars that want to stay close to home. Hewitt hasnt offered, because the young man will probably want to stay 4 years.
January 11th, 2011

Ken, in all seriousness, what are the advantages of going to Tech?

Hey, jackyldo – Miller Grove Bro, not Milton

10:38 am
I don't like the way Georgia Tech handles Mfon either. He should be riding the bench. He struggles to his right and wasn't able to feed Favors or Lawal effectively last year.
January 11th, 2011
11:14 am
He sees the way tech plays- Geez! anyone got 7 million???
January 11th, 2011
11:41 am
Let me answer that question, Jim.
Playing in the ACC in basketball.
Playing in the city of Atlanta.
Playing for a school with an excellent track record for putting people in the NBA.
Being part of an excellent school.
About to have a brand new arena.
Having said all that, if I were this kid I would go to UGA unless Hewitt is fired this spring. Once he is, Tech will be back as the best program in this state. We have more NCAA appearances, more final four appearances, and have a winning overall record against UGA. Things will get back to normal as soon as Hewitt is gone, which is at the end of next year at the latest and hopefully at the end of this year.
January 11th, 2011
11:42 am
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That was a good one destindog. Powerhouse program at UGa. Made me laugh……..Oh….you were serious? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Made me laugh even harder.
January 11th, 2011
11:43 am
Mfon was rated as the 6th best point guard in the nation when he came to Tech. Now what do you think the problem is? Ask Anthony Morrow, who excelled in high school and the NBA but disappeared in college.
January 11th, 2011
12:11 pm
He will be a jacket if we want him. Hewitt is going to be fired soon!
January 11th, 2011
12:30 pm
Gordon is right. As long as Hewitt is the Coach at Tech, they will continue to misuse their players. I am a dawg fan that lives in Atlanta and enjoyed watching Tech play BBall under Cremins. I prefer UGA to continue winning at BBall, but anyone can see that Hewitt needs to go, this is pathetic at Tech. With that said, I hope the kid makes the right choice and goes to Georgia.
January 11th, 2011
12:37 pm
To each his own, UGA has some great advantages as well. Long live Paul Hewitt and the genius that gave him that contract!!
January 11th, 2011
2:54 pm
Hewitt sucks but you're an idiot if you think Hewitt ruined Morrow. Dude was a lights out shooter in college and injuries plaqued him his junior and senior year. He still is the ACC's all time leading 3 point shooter.
January 11th, 2011
3:20 pm
What I don't understand is why all these kids keep going to Tech anyway.Its pretty obvious. Is Morris just smarter than all the rest. I.E. Julian Royal,Derrick Favors, Chris Bosh, etc
January 11th, 2011
5:06 pm
He can either play for a coach who will leave for a better program as soon as possible or a coach who'll get fired as soon as the boosters pony up $7 million.
January 11th, 2011
5:52 pm
all you so called Tech fans are full of it…take it from someone fairly close to the program…Hewitt isn't going anywhere and it's not because of the perpetual contract
It's because he's an excellent recruiter, coach, and role model for these kids…yes, he's had a couple of tough years, but he had last years underachieving team playing in the ACC Champ game.
I hope you will support him and the team instead of spreading this negative BS which you haven't a clue of what you speak
January 11th, 2011
6:24 pm
@south did hewitt pay you to say that??
I know the real deal! He's afraid the kids will jet on him after one year so he screws them over.
January 11th, 2011
6:48 pm
I guess its not about the education anymore, as long as you can play on national tv and have that shot at the pros, fall 2 years short of graduating because there are no jobs oppotunities because you majored in basket weaving.
January 11th, 2011
6:55 pm
Where's Tech going to scrape up the money to pay off Hewitt's
contract ? I thought they had to set aside a million or two in a
reserve fund to pay for the 2 hot dogs, Cokes, and program to
entice people to come watch the football team !!!
January 11th, 2011
7:31 pm
Tech basketball has hit rock bottom. The saddest thing is that there is no hope for the future. Why go to Tech. I use to love Tech basketball but I cannot watch that crap anymore. It is Tech's edition of Groundhog Day. Different day but same old missed free throws, more TO's than assists, cannot dribble or pass, and when the crap hit's the fan someone is more likely to throw it out of bounds or dribble off their foot. I will stop crying now.

if you had a chance to read the nba article on morrow you would have seen coach don nelson say that morrow was off the nba radar because he was not coached well in college. he specifically stated that morrow did not know how to effectively use screens in one of his comments.
speaking of screens……. when is the last time you saw our 'lights' out 'good shooting' group of guards use a screen for a 3? there is a reason why we once again are at the bottom of the conference not only in shooting but in 3 point fg percentage.
January 11th, 2011
8:58 pm
honestly, the college game and NBA game is different. I prefer college where defense is played. it appears to me that no offense is ranin the NBA. Everybody offense is the same. So morrow game matured in the NBA because no defense and plenty of one on one play. Look, the ACC is stacked in college with Duke, tar heels, VT, FSU, etc….. So the NBA isoverrated with a bunch of soft players….exampe. Lebron, Wade, Kobe, Melo etc… They couldnt play in the early 80's to 90's.

all you people that keep talking about miller grove and milton better look at SOUTH GWIENNTT because they have two kids that can play with out the SO CALL BIG NAME and I will give you they name Kevin Haynes one of the best PG in high school, he can lock down the 1-2-3 and can put the ball in the hoop on anybody and is avg 12 to 15 points/ 8-10 A"s 5 to 8 reb: 3 stl"s per game and you have the best junior in the state of Ga in K, DAVIS that can give you 20 to 30 points and get 10 to 15 reb"s a game.

Just can't blame the kid..who would really want to play for Hewitt. I've been a GT fan since 59 and I will not go are support the Team as long as Hewitt is there. Praying Rads will get the money to move Bewitt. Until then I can't blame anyone for not coming to GT..to play are watch. Paul is a joke!

A new building will not put a winner on the floor…I'd rather have a new coach than a new building..fire PH..

I agree with lawdawg, both good recruiters, both seem like good family people – but after a few years the lack of coaching ability becomes obvious. They can't win with great talent or coach up good talent.

No way we open the new building with him as coach. No season ticket holders will renew. The current place is already half empty.

Ben Schwartz remembers the life and work of Fantagraphics co-founder Kim Thompson, and why the comics world is so hard hit by his loss:
That's why the death of Fantagraphics co-founder Kim Thompson hits the comics world so hard. It's a small world. Everybody knows everybody in comics publishing. These people have stood at their convention hall folding-tables, stacked high with comics, staring at the other publisher with the folding-table stacked high with comics, for decades. Friendships, grudges, slights, favors, and competitors are remembered for a very, very long time. And Kim Thompson, whom everybody liked (as far as I know), will be remembered for a very long time, for his unique impact on the American comic book, which is somewhat substantial.
