Lindy’s and Athlon

Got a long wood handle kinda like an ax handle with a long blade on it shaped kinda like a banana. Sharp on one edge and dull on the other'n. It's what the highway boys used to cut down weeds and whatnot. Some folks called it a sling blade, I called it a kaiser blade, mmm,

For some people, when a coach is fired or a player transfers out the immediate feeling is that their time here was all bad, and we’ll be better off.

For the most part, Mullin recruited guys that really wanted to score. And we had some of the most exciting scorers we’ve ever had here w Lovett, Ponds, Figueroa and Heron.

The end of last season is on Mullin because it has to be, but I’m not gonna act like the last season wasn’t fun. I loved the games I saw at MSG, even if there weren’t enough of them.

There's little legitimate criticism of the previous staff's recruiting. There's lots of legitimate criticism of their results. Their ability to hold on to the recruits they recruited - specifically the big men - is another matter. Certain posters who hated Mullin - like eg one particular poster who stopped posting last year when SJ was 10-0 because he didn't find SJ basketball fun anymore because they were winning - have to denigrate everything about him to justify their hatred. The previous staff failed in various ways but the idea that winning 20 game and making the tournament represents failure is madness. 

Hey fxck off and die, You didn’t acknowledge my previous post.

Yeah, the other day I stepped in a pile of dog shit, I didn't acknowledge that either. Mmm mmm.

I did stop posting last year. I was very conflicted. The team was winning 

-I don’t buy into the notion of SJU should only be happy with just making the tournament once in awhile should be good enough. 

Remember at 10-0. You proudly told me that you were right.

I don’t remember the exact words but you weren’t nice.

2 months later and your boy was shit canned.

I call bullsh*te.  The team was winning and on a roll and that didn't fit your own personal twisted vision/agenda so you didn't post.  As soon as the team lost you than had something to type about so to the detriment of the board you returned in full force.

Now that the greatest symbol of St. John's basketball ever is gone you're so happy that you've become our most prolific poster.

I was right dummy. The great Coach Mullin took a team of misfit toys and in four short years took them to the promised land and thereafter rode off into the sunset a conquering hero.

Aww was I not nice and you a terribly butch gym teacher too. Anyway I didn't mean to leave you feewing all buwwied. Sowwy.

Coach Mullin resigned. I don't see how you missed it, it was in all the papers.

Carmine last week you admitted your boy couldn’t teach basketball. 

It's not a notion. It's a historical accuracy. Nobody is happy with it.

This was posted on Redman. “Not trying to start WWIII here, just figured many of you would be interested. A recent former player gave me some insight on the Mullin era. Apparently Mullin showed up late consistently, no one on the staff even tried except St. Jean (who still wasn't very good but at least tried) and Matt A. Mitch really did do nothing as we suspected. Noted that the staff were good guys but clueless overall. Disorganized, dysfunctional, etc. Also noted that staff left immediately after the NCAA loss and that was the last they saw of them. Just ridiculous really. The former player also said that he thinks this current staff is very good and a massive improvement. Just interesting to hear directly FWIW.”

Although we had a good year for SJU standards, the school deserves better and had to move on.

If it was on RDC it must be true then, everyone there has moles inside the locker room, it's a wonder there's room for the players. Self-important bloviating middle managers, avatar shifters, junior jimmy olsens, flaccid balding Red and White Club members - all of them former coaches it goes without saying - each with their own network of stoolies and tipsters, tirelessly working the phones so that they can breathlessly report the latest news and scoop their rivals. Even 30 year old uber drivers who live with their mothers and go to games and sit in the student section dressed up like Hulk Hogan have a direct line to the highest levels of the administration. In fact here's a photo of one of them sending an encrypted message to one of his double naught spies. It was smuggled out of a basement on long island and passed to me at a double blind drop after three car changes:

This is highly classified obviously. Need to know basis only. Finger to nose. Schtum. Remember, loose lips stink shits.

I would like to see the post from last week where I "admitted your boy couldn’t teach basketball." because I don't recall typing that. Till you show it to me I'll just assume as per usual, your lying.
