Baldi and Norm Topics All-Merged

Do you have definitive evidence or a source that swears norm is returning?

Did we ever get confirmation that there was some sort of search commitee?

Baldi you need to be f-ng committed or punched in the f-ng head?  PMG said he had a source who told him that.  Perhaps source is right perhaps is wrong. But rshf just said we have to deal with norm being back. Just bc he has proof there's no search committee doesn't mean he necessarily has proof norm is back regardless. That's what I'm civilly asking him.

Of course the ultimate dufus of a fan has to butt in and turn the tables on a comment that was civil and a normal follow up?  But you'd never realize that bc all you care about is people being pissed and st johns sucking, iona fool.

Who shat in your cheerios?

Have you ever asked for proof when someone posts 1 of the thousands of threads saying Norm is getting fired?

I know this is too far above you 3rd grade level brain to understand, but rshf's comment about norm returning could either be interpreted as opinion or something he heard from someone impt.  I was simply asking him that.  He is a connected poster who I respect highly and I am trying to clear discrepancy.  Notice I didn't ask for further proof of him about there being no search committee just like I didn't ask pmg for the same.  I'm just wondering iif that was a statement of fact or opinion.

Now go back to eating playdough baldi.

Must be that time of the month. I think they have pills for those cramps now. Hope the day gets better for you.

Marillac, you can't put a team like Virginia on the bubble. They're not even on the NIT bubble. NC, Arizona and Cinci do not have any better of a chance than we do. We might actually be better than all of them.

The NIT will be tough to make, especially if we shit the bed these last four games-which I expect we will do. But still, you've got last place teams in there, and while we stink, they stink too.

I see Illinois dancing. 10-5 in the Big Ten makes them every bit as accomplished as our beloved GTown. I also think you, and many experts don't give the A10 enough credit. URI is dancing. As is Charlotte. This year the ACC and BE should be left holding their slipper.

I really think that, barring an NIT bid, Norm is gone.  I still root for a turnaround but...

Its sad that making the NIT is considered achievement for this program.

This year the ACC and BE should be left holding their slipper.

That scenario would make it even harder for SJU to make the NIT then. If teams above them in the Big East gets passed on for the NCAA Tournament, they will definitely take slots in the NIT.

I think ND, Cinci, Seton Hall and Uconn all have a lot of work to.
If it were up to me, I'd need to see a 9-9 record, and at least a BE tourney win.

I'm not even sure Uconn and Cinci deserve the NIT. Right now, I don't think they do.

Uconn would make it just for the fact that they travel so well, if they were to play a road game.  Its a business, and Uconn and their fans are good business.

Come on RSHF.  These aren't CYO 4th graders.  They are old enough to vote and go to war.  They are almost all old enough to drink.  They are receiving a free education from a fine institution.  Most will be able to make money abroad and be successful even if they haven't had distinguished careers here.  Stop crying for the "kids" they have it FAR better than most their age.

That said I understand and support your decision to root for the team.

Kid, please don’t invoke the “old enough to go to war” argument as I have two over there already, and one graduating West Point in late May and we can only guess where he is headed after his initial flight school training (helicopters). I can’t imagine they are going to train him to fly a Blackhawk and then send him to Kansas to protect Bill Self during his Championship Parade.

I don't understand why you would choose to use this infomration here?  Your children willfully signed up to join the armed forces during a time of war.  They are old enough to have the choice to defend their country at the risk of harm or even loss of life.  Nobody in Iraq or Afghanistan will care if they are 15 or 50 when fighting, so why care so much about sparing "Kids" in their twenties that are using basketball as a way of vastly improving their futures?

To me, kids are high school and younger. 

It’s that simple. You and many others have a hidden agenda about how many losses will get a new coach. There is no concrete evidence to suggest that will happen. NOTHING!

How is our "agenda" hidden if we publicly state our expecations and our wishes?  We have all basically come out and said that we want Norm gone and, for those of us that cheer for the team to lose to help that cause, we have stated we want to lose all our remaining games. 

Ironically, it is in the best interet of the "kids" to have Norm fired.  DJ an Sean getting into it with fans.  Dele Coker posting that he doesn't enjoy basketball anymore.  Sean Evans teling the media about how some of the players don't even care about winning.  Kids upset with their undefined roles and arbitrary sub patterns. Norm lying to them and insulting their inteligence over forfeiting the remainder of the season. 

They have no chance to win with this clown.  They have no chance to get drafted with this clown. 

I also find it hysterical that you defend some of these "kids' but then you say you wan to fight me and ridicule me when I am still in my twenties and only a few years older than some "kids" on the roster.  You also have no problem fighting with Danman or ridiculing Dylan--both were in high school last year!!!!  How arbitrary is your desire to protect "kids"!!!!!

Uconn would make it just for the fact that they travel so well, if they were to play a road game.  Its a business, and Uconn and their fans are good business.

Uconn needs work to make the NIT.

If UConn finishes 2 games over .500 they are in the NIT. They had a bad stretch but they have beaten the #1 and #3 ranked teams in the country at different times. They are very inconsistent but if they can make the Big East Tournament championship game there is a good shot they make the Big Dance. They can beat any team in the league any night of the week.

and win 3 out of the last 4, make it to the Big East tourny semi finals and have a chance at the NCAA's. HAAAAAHAAAAAAAA. You guys are phucked

Honestly unles they won 10 games or so he was coming back. No trains were run on skanks, no swimmers were choked. That is how success is measured for the progam not wins or post season tournaments.

Tha Kid, you and I have discussed this previously. I fully understand the FRUSTRATION that the long time fans (and new ones too) have experienced, but the fact remains that no specific number of losses will translate to a new coach. So why wish the losses on these kids?

well....winning isnt going to get us a new coach. so naturally, losing would be the alternative.

im sick and tired of not being competitive. losing to teams like rutgers, and then beating Louisville then get beat bad by seton hall at home, then heading down to florida, to thoroughly beat usf.

we play so inconsistantly that we will never go anywhere. so might as well look bad enough to warrent a firing. 

We wont make the NIT, in a year that everyone was optimistic about. Clearly its not just the fans, as Monash was the most optimistic of all.

Yet, its the same story as the last few years. lose to teams we should beat, beat a few we shouldnt, and get dominated by top 25 teams. it has to end. we're slowly falling off the map.

i think ive gotten to the point where i am starting not to care. bash me for wanting the team to lose. i dont care. why should i, if the players dont?

I am not buying season tickets next year, its pointless. no sense in getting worked up over the same old sh*t.

Exactly we have lost to Providence at home, Rutgers on the road and Seton Hall at home with our only real good win was against Temple.  Even if we win out then beat two teams in the Big East tournament we still wont make the tourney and it will just keep Norm for an extra 4 years at least because after this year, there is no way they fire him because we can assume we will be a tourney team next year and then Norm will get three more years to see what his recruiting class can do.  It is an endless cycle that must stop now.

  I agree with most of your post.   But what makes you think that the players don't care about winning?

Anytime we beat a Pitino led Louisville team, its a good win.  Bursting a suprising South Florida's teams' bubble is another pretty good win. Winning at Notre Dame, good W. I also enjoyed spanking Fran McCaffrey and Siena's arse.

Those are good wins over bubble teams, I meant wins over legit tourney teams.
