Secret scrimmage

Dude?
"Secret scrimmages" are secret for two reasons. Unlike an exhibition where you take on a cupcake in public (or play over your head when you're the cupcake), the scrimmage is a chance to check some things out against credible competition that doesn't know all your plays. And as a courtesy, it's kept mostly secret so 1) the coaches won't have to deal with the media "analyzing" it or 2) disseminate info to upcoming opponents.

I wasn't told exactly what all they did in Memphis --- I just got a quick report on how it went --- but these things are often played in segments with pauses for situations, etc. And I can tell ya, coaches (especially the "winner") sandbag about the "score" of these things, again as a courtesy. And in this day and age players are generally asked to keep the details on the down-low (in fact, I believe there were a couple of social media deletions yesterday --- again, courtesy).

Ultimately, it's just a scrimmage, and so it's no big deal either way in the scheme of things, but there is word out there --- and it matches what I was told --- that the actual competition was not quite as close as it's being made out, which frankly shouldn't be surprising, and sure as hell doesn't have anything to do with who is or is not a "professional". I try to provide some info from other sources (y'know since it's a Carolina basketball board and all) and here we go with this whole "premium" thing again. Sheesh.

You call out a mod and you expect a nice reaction to it? Come on. Pick your battles gary.

I DID NOT CALL OUT A MOD... nor did I start any damned battle.
Good Lord, I guess reading is hard. I said there is conflicting info out there (which is normal) and then explained why that's normal. Post something that doesn't match the sacred "premium" and you'd think I was talking about someone's momma. SMDH.

This place has finally jumped the shark. I'll just keep the team intel (that I'm fortunate enough to get) off-board from now on. Carry on.

I for one will be very disappointed if that is not merely a threat, but you indeed stick to that. I think most of us really enjoy your nuggets (most of the time), & most of them are informative. Because you like to vigorously defend your positions, I think that may be a turn off to some, & therefore they like to take issue with you. I think it's entirely possible that we didn't win by exactly 11 since the score wasn't kept. So what I'm saying is that both you an Andrew could have some correct information, & maybe it's somewhere in the middle of what both of you are reporting. Maybe I'm dead wrong & 1 of you is exactly right, but I do agree that it's meaningless & not worth arguing over. We are acting more & more, lately, like we are not on the same team, & that makes it less fun to visit this board. & if you quit bringing your intel, no matter how much someone wants to dispute it, it will become even less fun to come here. Now I know what it feels like when DSouth posts, even though this was only half as long as his avg post. Jk pal, don't want to get anyone else stirred up.
 
Don't let newbies that don't seem to get how the board works turn you off. I've made liberal use of the ignore function and I am much happier! I hope G-7 and Dsouther keep posting when and how much they want because I enjoy their point of view. I love to debate with both even though they frequently have vastly different beliefs from me! For example, I just don't understand why D actually thinks anyone other than TP would have started at 2, but his opinion doesn't feel personal to me! I argued with G about JB and Nate's D, and it turns out he was completely correct, but still it's not personal. I think at least two of our new frequent posters are trolls who have a mission to disrupt our board.

Don't feed the trolls and don't engage when peeps insist on making every thread am argument. Some of us understand the Carolina Way and how to treat Family!

Go Tar Heels!

Hit the nail on the head.... instead of rising to the bait it's often easier to starve the oxygen out of an argument.

Who exactly are you referring to? At least man up and say who you specifically mean if you're going to call someone a troll and accuse them of disrupting the board.

Ironically, he is referring to me... who by posting leaked premi informatiom from another site to give you guys information of what happened was not even thanked once, told I was misinforming people, and now called a troll all in one fell swoop! lol

He didn't call out a mod. He just insinuated he most likely got better information from his sources than Andrew Jones did. jes sayin
 
Had heard 20 something and then AJ said 11, I chose to believe AJ.

That's the smart thing to do until proven otherwise, AJ or Clint put it out there, it's pretty dern accurate. Just sayin.................................
 
The point is Mike heard the margin was 20+ too, so Gary wasn't just pulling that number out of thin air, which some seem to believe he does. Like Mike, if AJ says it was 11, then I believe it was 11 because he should know if anyone does.

BTW, I heard it was 40 and every UNC starter had a double double. :rolleyes:
 
Meanwhile, some footage from duke's secret scrimmage was leaked online.

Also heard Roy had a couple of 3's. :D
 
Gary didn't call out a mod. He said he heard the final margin was a little bigger. Some people are trying a little too hard to find issue with both he and Dave.

Yeah archer, they do work over time to try to find ways to nit pick and when they can't find anything they just blatantly accuse us of saying things we didn't.

Gary is accused of calling out a mod, what awful thing did gary say, that he heard something a little different from what he is told was said on premium? OMG, it is now considered mutiny to suggest that you heard something a little different? Mike says he heard the margin was 20+ but is Mike accused of treason?

If you need to know what calling out a mod actually is then go to IC and read what butterbutt says about his being temp banned from here, he flat out says the mods that banned him are on a power trip. That is calling out a mod, all gary is trying to do is tell you what he heard, you don't have to put any cred it it, but you should factor in that gary has not been able to read exactly what was shared on premy but only what was supposed to have been said and stolen by the banned one.

Hey, I appreciate that brother. Some unfortunately don't seem to be able to tell the difference between a "position" and information.... and in a "secret scrimmage" information is inherently gonna be spotty (as I tried in vain to explain), so it should be no surprise there are variances... and pointing that out shouldn't be treated like friggin heresy... because as you said, the actual numbers could be somewhere in the middle. And BTW, I saw something from the Memphis side yesterday that jibes with the little snippet I got from the player, but again, it doesn't really matter... the one thing I'm 100% sure of is that JB was a BOSS :cool:.
 
Rumor has it Roy really worked on his 3 pointers this summer while recovering from knee replacement surgery. I heard he can hit them sitting down from the bench. Gonna come in handy this year.

Also heard Knight Lite sent him a case of Grecian Formula #666(Styx black) as a prank. In return, Roy sent K a case of SPF 100 sunscreen. It's a good bet neither will ever be used.
 
11+8 = 19....so that 20 spot is looking a bit spot on to me! Also if you consider the end of the second half the end of the game if this was normal and not two separate halfs., then it makes sense for someone to report 11 and BOTH peeps to be correct!

This may prove that a little time between thought and posting might be in order for many!

Didn't even know I had 'em... well damn ;)

Not to mention that IC apparently reported today that we won by 25. But hey, pay no attention to my intel tidbits. I obviously don't know anything, seeing as how I'm not a mod or on premium... :rolleyes:
 
Most def conflicting reports on the scrimmage... It is said that Memphis lost that second quarter by a lil bit more than 11 in the second quarter....., lol... UNC won bottom line, and thats what counts!
 
25 points was out there from day 1. in all actuality.
So, why then was it so outlandish that I said I was told we won by 20+?

The point is it was not a slam of AJ, I was sharing info I got that came from one of our players. It's the nature of these things that info is spotty. I was fortunate enough to get something I was pretty sure was reliable and I said as much.

Because it was said by a random poster on IC in which Andrew Jones info was posted to refute that random posters post.
 
So we are 1-0 now?
Cute. But one of the reasons these things are done behind closed doors is so you can play a legit team in a game situation without the NCAA counting it against your allowable game total. So if you want to put it that way, yeah we are, sort of.
