Galena boys fall against Foothill | Nevada Appeal | Serving Carson City, Nevada

RENO -- The Galena Grizzlies' boys basketball team might want to start wearing nametags.

"Yeah, did you recognize anybody out there," smiled Grizzlies senior forward Luke Babbitt Friday night after a season-opening 70-63 loss to the Foothill Falcons at Galena High. "There was a lot of new faces."

Babbitt, the only returning starter from last year's Class 4A state championship team, poured in 40 points against Foothill, 20 in each half. The Falcons, though, used a 31-point fourth quarter to spoil the Grizzlies' opener.

No offense but I wish we would really get over this guy. I think Thad thought he had a PF lockdowned for 2008 so probably backed off some guys and then Luke de-sides to stay in Nevada. I know there were family reasons. Actually, I hope we play in Nevada when he is still there and we beat the hell out of them. I just think he really hurt us. Sorry for venting.

He probably shouldn't have committed until he was 100%, but I'm not going to come down too hard on the kid. How many high school seniors-to-be bounce their college choices back and forth a hundred times before making a a final choice. They have the luxury of it not becoming a national sports story. Everything I've heard from Reno is that he's a good, decent kid who simply had an honest change of heart.

That being said, I'd love to play Nevada in football or basketball. I grew up there and have been waiting for that game since I made my college choice. I had kinda pinned my hopes on TM scheduling a home-and-home with Nevada due to Babbitt coming to Columbus. Too bad.

I don't want to get off-topic but this type of thing is starting to bother me and it's not the first time. Other posters have made similar innuendos. In order for me to post on the Planet, I have to dictate my post in Notepad and then cut it and paste it to the appropriate thread. Try using voice-activated software sometimes and see what a pain in the ass it can be. By the time I have something dictated correctly, most posters can type out about three different posts over three paragraphs long. Sometimes, I wonder if it is even worth it. I know that some of you are aware of my situation and this is not directed towards you but to other posters who have not "walked" it my shoes.

The funny thing is that I noticed that typo but decided for once, what the hell just let it go.

he didn't site any sources...could be nothing more than speculation on his part

Wowwie... that would be a huge pickup for the Bucks in an area of serious need. Hope to see some more smoke on that one. No matter what he decides, he'll see playing time.

I guess we will just have to have our fingers crossed for Nevada's coach. Whoever gets offered that Cal job is going to be in a good situation which ought to be awfully tough to turn down.
