Also, isn't it such a relief that most players getting playing time are actually good at shooting FTs?! In particular, the fan base does not have to cringe and pray that our big men hit at least one of their FT attempts. The team and its fan base has never had it this good at the FT line. The team is 50 of its last 59 from the FT line (4 games). That's an 84.7% clip. Very impressive. Remember when this was Clank U and free throw shooting was the team's weakness?

Parish screwed us over several years ago and is likely aware of just how much contempt many Aztecs hold for him. I don't expect him to hype us until it's so self-evident he would look foolish not to. Maybe if we sent him some (more) make-up makeup we could make up. I was watching a halftime report during one of our games on CBS Sports right after it was concluded that we didn't do anything wrong and the other guys on set were joking about how much the Aztec fans love him (sarcastically), because Aztec fans were absolutely demolishing him on Twitter. It was great to see. So Parrish is definitely aware of how much we hate him Was it Adam Zucker? He said that to Parrish before. Too funny.

Yes. Don't need a long memory for that. It sure is nice to have a really good FT shooting team! In the last four games, the Aztecs as a team, are shooting 50-58 FTs which is a little over 86%. Before the Tenn St game we were shooting 50-81, which is about 62%. That's 23 missed free throws to make the same amount of them. Our season FT % as a team is now about 72% (and climbing)

The Oracle just reemerged from a long hiatus away from this website to focus on soccer. But, the Oracle has been watching and has been impressed with the overall quality of this year's squad. Not only are they very talented, but there is a grit to this team that has been missing since the days of X Thames. There are a number of reasons why this team is so good, but let's take last nights game as an example. The game was closer than what the final score would lead one to believe, but the second CSU went cold for a few minutes in the second half, SDSU seemed almost effortless in the way it just pulled itself into a 15, then eventually 20 point lead. This shows that other teams in our conference will need to play up to even compete with what the Oracle thought was an average performance last night by the Aztecs. Also, isn't it such a relief that most players getting playing time are actually good at shooting FTs?! In particular, the fan base does not have to cringe and pray that our big men hit at least one of their FT attempts. The team and its fan base has never had it this good at the FT line. Support the team and enjoy the ride gents. The Oracle had visions last night being with the Aztec gods while on Payote and they told the Oracle that this will be a special season. They also mentioned that "the Show" is still a shadow of its former self and has been weak sauce for several years now. They have told the Oracle that the Show must "nut up (exact words from one of the gods)" at games or face obscurity. The Oracle and the Aztec gods have spoken. PS: The Aztec gods also warned about Donald Trump being a false god who is truly an incompetent felonious criminal. The Oracle thought he would disclose this since our Aztec gods see things clearer than most and were pretty adamant that the Oracle share this with the Aztec faithful since they know some of you are in his cult. The Oracle digresses......Go Aztecs! The Brokencurse is also impressed with this year's team. A team that can shoot and move the ball in addition to solid D. With good depth and tenacious D, the Aztecs are wearing teams out down the stretch and finding big buckets from Flynn and Schakel. The Brokencurse has been impressed with Wetzell inside. 9-0 with the wins they have is damn impressive. Did you know that since the Brokencurse came to Aztecmesa the football team has been to 10 straight bowl games and the basketball team has won multiple NCAA tournament games? Don't fall for the coo hype. Remember, there were dem house members calling for impeachment on day 1 of his presidency. Day one! They've been looking for a crime to fit the punishment for 3 years. Media in this country = propaganda Enjoy the strong economy, strong military, support of police, leading from the front on the world stage, historic unemployment numbers, and judges who are not activists but support the constitution.

Matt Norlander needs to tell his coworker Gary Parrish to take note ;-) It seems like Mr.Parrish still thinks of us with contempt. He should have his seat on the air disappear in a hole in the floor never to be seen or heard from again! Parrish is on SDSU's sh*t list. This fool single-handedly tried to bring our basketball program down. You'll notice the video cameras stay on his face and don't cut away when he's asked about SDSU on TV. Oldie Out

Adventures with Skylar, anyone? Remember when they said during one off-season that he'd been shooting free throws with the wrong hand and they'd re-tooled his shot. Ha ha, that was a good one.

And, of course, there's always the infamous Walton-alligator-arm-airball FT attempt that helped UNLV complete a comeback from 10 down with 1 min. to play. Walton's shot was a good 2 to 3 feet short of the front rim. Ugliest thing I've ever seen from the charity stripe.
