I usually make about four to five trips up there during the summer. My grandparents built a house up there twenty years ago, closer to Kalkaska, but obviously T.C. is a place to frequent when you are up there. I have been going there for the past twenty some years, I grew up spending my summers at the cabin and in T.C.

I will remember your invite and hope to take you up on it come the summer. Later!

I will check out your Elden story, but you are right, they just need another body. Reid, Davis, Campbell, it doesn’t matter, except that Campbell is the best all-around player out of the bunch.

I am SERIOUS about meeting the next time you are in TC. Just drop me a line, I am sure we can find a spot to sit somewhere with lots of big screens and good food! At least I hope, TC isn’t the best for really good sportsbars.

I do think they need another big, make no mistake about it. If Dale Davis wants to go to a non-contender (Indiana) to get more minutes instead of coming to the team to beat in the east (Detroit) then so be it. Don Reid would be good enough. All they really need is 15 minutes and six fouls from a big man. The nice thing about Elden was that he could still score and he knew Shaq. But you can get the fouls and minutes from anyone - remember, Shaq is still going to get his. This is really not to stop him, you can’t, it is just to keep Ben and ‘Sheed out of foul trouble. Like I said yesterday, whatever happens, the road to the finals still goes thru three championship drive, auburn hills, michigan. Later.

P.S. - I frequent T.C. all the time in the summer. Next time, if you are serious, I would be honored to meet the sports pig in person and chat it up.
