Nov 26 2039: The Mashing Mitchell Mariners - by Rradley903 on July 15th, 2024

Head Coach Garry Dobson reflected before his presser after the drubbing of Roanoke by 34 points.

The Mariners were 10-2 overall, losing only to, at the time, ranked teams by a combined 6 points. The Mariners averaged a +20.8 +/- on the season so far. Tony Samuel had been averaging just below 20 ppg, Willie Bishop had become the 2nd coming of Ozzie Williams averaging over 8 assists a game, and Korey Mansfield is averaging a near double-double.

"Good start so far," thought Dobson.

Dobson walked to the podium, took a breath, and planted his flag. "The Mariners are here. Newman, Western New England, UNC Charlotte, and San Diego State, have fun playing for second place. We've arrived." Dobson walked off the podium back to his cane and hobbled through the door grinning ear to ear.

Mar 03 2039: Mitchell Season Overview - by Rradley903 on June 16th, 2024

After an embarrassing loss by 21 points to UNC-Charlotte where a Mitchell player with 6 points got PotG honors, HC Garry Dobson had few words when asked to summarize the season. "You never want to say it was a season of ups and downs, but it was. I got prescribed stimulants then they took them away from me. You could probably guess when I was on them if you look at the schedule. Man, I'm tired," stated the mid-60s year old coach behind some large spectacles with a red digital clock reading 4:15 PM behind him.

"It's a real shame seeing big hardwood bear down on these other Presidents. But I guess when you move different it doesn't affect you." The coach Jordan shrugged, then walked the opposite way off the podium.

Feb 04 2038: The Mitchell Mariner - Press Release due Immediately - by Rradley903 on April 13th, 2024

President Rradley903 watched, and watched, and watched. Southern Mississippi's Seth Strand makes his 2 freethrows, and Tony Samuel has been DQ'ed for too many fouls. Garry Dobson did not show up to the post-game press conference. President of Mitchell manned the mic instead.
There would be no questions. Rradley903 made that clear by staring intently at anyone who raised their hand, until they put it down to which he nodded, approving the motion. Then he spoke. "40 to 6," the media's eyes darted around, not knowing what to do. "3 players fouled out, 3. The Golden Eagles went 4 for 25 from 3, we got ripped 28 times. 28. They shot 40 freethrows. Are you serious? We got 6. You genuinely think we had a true 28 turnovers? Big Hardwood won this one fellas."

Jan 07 2038: Mitchell Misery - by Rradley903 on April 5th, 2024

After a double-digit loss to the Coe Kohawks, the Mariners continue their slide to demotion with no hope in sight. To add to the misfortune, the Mariners lost all 3 of their prospective recruiting battles. "It's a real shame what some of these schools do to get these kids," started long-time assistant Art Pollock. "We give these kids a real college experience. Now all these schools just give them luxury cars, Gucci flip-flops, and their pick of beautiful Latina women. 'Connecticut College' and 'Assumption' are cosmetology schools masquerading as big-time college programs. These kids will find out one way or another that the Mitchell Motion is not transitive. The Mariner's do not stumble, they are tripped. Big Hardwood knows who they are, we are coming regardless." Pollock then remarked he was going to the S.S. Mariner Yacht for a recruiting party where there would be no recruits.

Mar 28 2037: 2036-37 Season Mitchell Mariner Finale - by Rradley903 on March 5th, 2024

Mitchell, after getting "screwed" by the selection committee, goes 1-2 in its invitational pod losing 76-54 to Baylor. "We had some new blood injected into the starting line-up. A+ blood, the best blood. But we know the body has to get used to it." Stated Head Coach Garry Dobson after a 4th place finish in conference and conference tournament runner-up placement. "We got some new Louis Vuitton coming in next year, everybody get their fake gucci off, cause we inspectin' nahm sayin."

Mitchell also has brought on recently fired Wisconsin-Inferior "Dirty" Harry Mancuso as a "special analyst". He will work with the recruiting process. "They don't call him 'Dirty' for nothing!"
