"Sticks and Stones May Break His Bones, But Bruises Will Never Hurt Him"-Spotlight... Ian Van Horne

When you tell a fellow PCTI member how much the man they call Bruiser loves PCTI, the consensous response is how shocked they are. After bursting onto the scene with some passionate, vocal, inspiring play, it's time we introduce PCTI's favorite bad boy.

1. Nickname-Bruiser, Cruiser, Van Gay.


2. Height/Weight-6'2"/220 of High School Has-Been Greatness.


3. Employer-Project Manager, DC Integration.


4. College-MTSU/UT Knoxville.


5. Favorite Sports Team-Alabama Football/Titans.


6. Favorite Aflete-Kobe Bryant.


7. NBA Comparison-Ben Wallace. Will play hardnosed D and rebound with minimal, inconsistent offense. Also, both of us have DUI's on our record showing our bad boy mentality.


8. Favorite PCTI Teammate-SMO! Baby Bruise and Bruise are reunited once again.


9. Biggest PCTI Enemy-I don't know if I classify him as an ENEMY, but I do most of my battling with "Big BAD Brent Carney." Besides, we all know Pitto is number one.


10. Favorite PCTI Moment-Josh Stephens. After a night of boozing, shacking and one hour of sleep, he torched the other team for a Game 6 win.


11. Biggest Questionmark of Your Team-Besides Big Ben, who is going to step up and provide offensive firepower for LFTW?


12. What do you antipate for PCTI?-Many calls going LFTW's way courtesy of Sabin's home court advantage.


13. Bold Prediction-Someone shows up with whiter teeth than Joe Thompson.


14. Not So Bold Prediction-I freak out and self destruct after every 4-Footer I miss.

Editor's Reaction:

1. Cruiser or Van Gay sound good to me.


2. Atleast he acknowledges what we all are (Hold Dawson who is in the top ten all time for three pointers made at McMinville Correctional School).


3. Diversifying PCTI's portfolio. We need a guy that knows how to oversee an (Allen Parsons) Project.


4. Let's all show some love to this guys background. He accepts a scholarship to play football at West Point, decides to walk on at MTSU, plays his way into a scholarship/starting role as a RS freshman, then quits and goes to UT to blossom with the rest of us. Dude was killer at beer pong throughout college though. That counts for something, right?


5. I was about to call him a front runner until I saw the Titans name.


6. His love for Kobe continues to show the similarities between him and Pitto.


7. This is funny considering I think Cruise's strength is actually offense.


8. Is the Baby Bruise/Bruise combo going to make Sabin jealous?


9. Talk about a great fight. Bruise's strength vs. BC's length. Would Bruise be able to get inside those quick, precise jabs to actually get a shot in? If so, would he break his hand on BBBC's core?


10. Have we confirmed Josh actually did all those things? We sure he did not sit in an ice bath and replenishing electrolytes preparing for the next day?


11. Me. That was obvious.


12. As long as I can continue my streak of no free throws attempted I'm fine with it.


13. Until someone starts utilizing hydrogen peroxide for it's natural teeth whitening substance, there is no chance.


14. With an increased focus on post moves, this will not be a problem.
