The Jimmy Binnie Society

[DC Muskie]

I would like to call upon members of the newly created Jimmy Binnie Society to come forward and celebrate the most important player of the past four years to the Xavier Musketeer program.

I will begin...

January 25, 2006

Dayton destroyed the Bonnies of St. Bonaventure 78-58 and they did it being carried by Construction Cone Binnie's strength and determination.

That night Binnie played only 19 minutes, but he killed the Bonnies by going 2-5 from the field, all from beyond the arc for six points. He pulled down two rebounds and demonstrated his greatness.

Welcome to the Jimmy Binnie Society.

[BBC 08]

Jimmy Binnie, a great American, where to begin. They say to really understand a player, look at his stats. Well, here are Binnie's career stats (link (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=22219)): 4.5 ppg, 3rbs, 1.1 assist and .5 steals. Those stats came from a starter.

We will miss you Jimmy "I'm white trash" Binnie.

[American X]

I'm thinking about joining, but maybe I'll just stand out here and pass.

Wow...none of the stats are from his junior or senior year...way to step up and improve over your career

[DC Muskie]

Hey I heard Jimmy's FT % actually DECREASED during his four years. So he was better hitting a foul shot his freshman year then he was his senior year.

Who can claim that stat?

No one but Jimmy Binnie.

[xuirish]

you guys make me so proud. I wish Gregory had an opportunity to tell Jimmie that once in the last 4 years, unfortunately he never did.

He was never really out there to score. He was more of a defensive specialist.

[GuyFawkes38]

Whenever I make an important decision in my life, I ask myself, "What would Jimmy Binnie do."

Try it and live an awesome life.

[JAX 3758]

Guys, Guys, Guys...Dont forget that Jimmy B was a 3 Star recruit coming into Dayton, while BROB (as the cryers call him) was only a 2 star.

Man did he ever live up to those expectations....

[Stonebreaker]

Tell me there's not an official social group for Binnie? LOL


http://www.xavierhoops.com/forums/group.php?groupid=4


Note-there is one, and I'm now an official member.

[xuirish]

"Binnie's Johnston team earned the Farm Bureau-IHSA 4A Sportsmanship Award."

There's always this.

[Muskie]

yeah.. thanks for not inviting me :) what gives?

[Stonebreaker]

I was about to say the same thing!

[XU05and07]

You hadn't voiced your love for Jimmy Binnie yet...once you did, then you were going to be invited

[joebba]

I can't wait for the "Binnie Bunch" (ala "Baseball Bunch") Saturday kids basketball show!

[XdeewillyX]

I dont think we are giving Jimbo enough credit. He actually evolved his game from a simple construction barrel, into a aerodynamic parking cone.

[GuyFawkes38]

Xavierhoops should invite Binnie here for an chat session.

Lunardi was ok. but binnie would be amazing.

I don't know why this photo won't post, but here's a great shot of our hero:

Great Defense...way to get a hand in his face

[Stonebreaker]

Binnie is a great American.

I was just talking to The Artist the other day about how much I'm going to miss Binnie.

Jimmy Binnie Society for Life!

[DC Muskie]

I'm starting to cry.

Beating Dayton may never be the same.

Brian Gregory works on helping Jimmie Binnie find the crease.

I have been told Jimmie Binnie does hold one NCAA distinction . . . He is the only player in the NCAA to average more tatoos than points.

By the way, who was the original Dayton "Fab 5" who came in with Binnie and Roberts as freshmen? Just curious . . .

Off the top of my head...

Binnie
Roberts
Plummer
Meachum
Some Mexican dude. Alaverez?

[boozehound]

Wow. That recruiting class really handed us our lunch. I hope that their incoming all-world freshman class turns out to be as good as those yahoos were.

I, for one, will miss Binnie. He added another dimension to beating Dayton. I will miss him being afraid to shoot the ball, and when he did take a shot he chucked up bricks more than 1/2 the time. Not to mention the fantastic free throw shooting and his amazing ability to get to the line 10-15 times per season.

[xeus]

Happy 22nd birthday to Jimmie Binnie - March 11 - this past Tuesday.

[DC Muskie]

I will say this, at least Dayton is getting more athletic. On the other hand, ten years ago they at least had guys who could score and beat us on occasion.

I'm starting to miss the old Dayton argument of "Well since you guys had such great talent, why didn't you beat us ALL the time, then."

Because we are now.

At least Meachum was smart enough to leave the dump and head to Illinois before he could be a part of that amazing senior class. I hope he isn't too disappointed to miss out on all of the opportunities he has missed by leaving UD for Illinois.

Here's the funniest line I took from that article. (Actually, I stopped reading after this one.) 3rd line in:

We're slow, as you are. We're white, and so are you. We're tall, you're just a little bit taller than us. We don't start on one of the best Division I basketball programs in the country. You do.

Those losers are so delusional. Even while trying to make fun of their own player, they fail to realize how much they suck.

[Muskie]

That "Hangar Promotion" was horrible... it'd be like our entire team dressing as Musketeers and then filing a commercial.

[DC Muskie]

I was going to write something funny about Binnie...but I decided not too.

Sorry. Long Live LBS!

[AdamtheFlyer]

This society needs pictures of Binnie's shoes tonight. That's all I'm going to tell you.

[XU05and07]

would you like to supply us with some pictures...want to join to society?

This is the only one I could find of tonight's game...nice defense

Why do we need pictures of his shoes when a stat line of 5 points (2-9), 3 rb and 3 assist against CSU is enough of laugh?

[XU05and07]

because we have the picture of him in his aviator glasses...we have pictures of him and his family...we have pictures of him finding the crease that gregory has always wanted him to...why can't we have some pictures...the more the better

Stop stealing my Binnie thunder, but seriously, good game tonight Jimmie.

Jimmy Binnie is also an anti-hero of mine. Please refer to the Jimmy Binnie Test (http://www.xavierhoops.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1058).
