RE: Barker

[dfairchild]

Would love to be at the game tommorow but work - it is Ash Wednesday - will
keep me away.  It is the first senior night I'll miss in the last 6 years so
add a hoot for me.

Perhaps the student tickets are not being claimed because the students will
be attending Ash Wednesday services; or recovering from Marti Gras.

in the past offseason, everyone was assuming barker would step in and be the
starting point guard.  i remember thinking, what exactly did taron barker
show
us last year that assured us he would be able to be the starting point guard
here at uc?  With the exception of the game against Louisiana Monroe out in
Las
Vegas, Taron did not seem to show much potential at all.  I'm not the
biggest
Taron Barker fan out there, but I believe he has played as well as he could
this season and has provided stability at a key position on the team.  I'll
be
at the game tomorrow evening and will show my appreciation toward Barker and
Stokes and thank them for their time at UC.
