Walkup's team is into the fourth round of a pretty big tournament.
They're about to play the Brussels team so they need to cut loose some Fahrt powered by Porsche. Must be some high powered Fahrts on that Fanbus.

Sometimes I don't know if Ryan is trying to be a comedian or if he's serious. On this one, I'm thinking comedian...nacluth said:

Well apparently I should have translated first...I just found out fahrt means travel in German, so "Kostenlose Fahrt" means "free travel." It makes me think that we should for Thomas' sake refer to traveling as fahrting whenever we see it at WRJ this year.

LOL! A great idea. Here's hoping we see LOTS of fahrting by our opponents this year. Hopefully opponents will stink up WRJ every game.nacluth said:

Let the students know about this and it might really come out of nowhere and blast off at home games. Heck, I'm starting to smell a potential home game trend developing that could put SFA in the national spotlight again, Ryan!edstile said:

Ha! I actually can see it now.
I'm thinking every time an opponent travels, on the big video board, a short video of Walkup in his German jersey says, "Who Fahrted?"
Then at halftime or on media break, there could be a video clip game to guess how many "Fahrt-ing" calls were in one of last year's home games. The winner would get a $50 Walmart gas card and the runner ups would get a can of Ranch Style Beans.
I don't know who in SFA Publicity is reading this, but this is SFA fan forum gold right here.

Looks like walkup is the guy. He is playing the most minute and avg 9 points in the champion league and is the starting SF. If only I could read German. That jersey looks sick.
Walkup named in Easy credit BBL All-First Team and his team is also in the European Basketball Champions League Final 4. They play the first Leg of 2 games tomorrow (5/4) Avg 11.3 points
He's sooo good. Career is still just getting started.
Yeah. They post full live games and replays on youtube. I watched a bit of it and it looks like he is the main ball handler or point guard. At 1 hour 25 minutes the commentator briefly mention SFA and Walkup scoring 23 point against WVU
Reisen lost in the Semis of the Champions league to Monaco. Tough for Walkup, but a great year.

Definitely. It's basically the best of the best in Europe...called the EuroLeague. This is the league with FC Barcelona and heavyweight Real Madrid (and lottery pick Luka Doncic).
Poking around the internet, I believe it is a move up. They play in Zalgiris Arena which can hold over 15,500. They averaged over 13,500 attendance this past season. Very successful team with several players moving to the NBA in the past including Arvydas Sabonis.TallTexan said:

If you're watching the draft right now, you'll learn some about the EuroLeague with the Luka Doncic coverage.
