Everything is bigger in Texas. Except, it seems, their minor league basketball centers. A week after making him their fifth round pick in the NBDL draft, the Austin Toros have waived bye-bye(scroll down) to former Holy Cross player (and Hoop Time icon) Neil Fingleton.

What is next for Neil? How about show business?

After posting last week about another HC alum, Kevin Kerwin, and his film "Filmic Achievement," We got an e-mail from the former Crusader:

Wanted to get in touch because my next film is based on a script I wrote titled "Pine Time" - a satire about college basketball and jock culture in particular. It's loosely based on my last two years riding the bench at Holy Cross. Our tentative production start is next summer - once cast and financing is in place.

Surely there has to be a role for a 7-6 guy in a college hoops satire.

By the way, for trailers and reviews of Kerwin's current production, visit www.filmicachievement.com.

UPDATE: Just watched the trailer and it looks pretty good. (If you see this Kevin, feel free to grab that quote for a blurb and a link on your press page.

Or maybe use this:

"The trailer looks pretty cool. Kevin appears to handle a camera better than he handled the rock." Hoop Time Nov. 11, 2005 Where have you gone?
