South Florida - Game Thread

Quote from: boo3 on January 18, 2012, 08:38:27 PM

I'm looking forward to all the new threads that are about to be started.

Likewise.

Crackpots aside, I think we make too much of the up and down tone of the threads from game to game.  That's the nature of sports to some degree.  I really don't think our fan base is all that different from most programs.

Last week I heard LSU fans wanted to fire Les Miles... and earlier this season WildCatNation thought Kentucky needed to stop recruiting NBA ready players after they lost to Indiana.   

Watching us against Providence and then watching this crap is going to give even the most level-headed observer different thoughts.

just got home, whats goin on?

For your sake I hope you're not kidding.  Nothing worth watching on SNY tonight..

If you think he didn't have an idea of what was going on then I have some land for you in Alaska.  They are having one of their worst winters in awhile.  So, dress warm and be ready to rid yourself of plenty of snow.

can we score 54?
 

I don't mind losing.  I know how to lose very well rooting for STJ during the Norm years.

Getting embarrassed and standing by while teams take their swings at you is a different story.

I don't have any different thoughts.  I can't say it'll be that way in another month, but I don't have any at the moment.

Which is why I have been rooting for hard fouls the last 10 minutes:)

Ya hes a genius

I consider myself a pretty level headed fan.

But standing around for 30 seconds and then traveling, throwing the ball away or hoisting up a ridiculously hard shot is NOT basketball.  I'm sorry to say it but its not.

This is Tough!! wait until we play DUKE and the upper echelon of the BE
at this point we got a 6'8 kid with a Scholly
play'em we are losing by 20 anyway!!!!!!!!!!
I dont wanna say this but jumping off this ship is pretty understandable if u are a player who wants to win and play for a
Div.1 level Head coach
 
I see a Big losing streak coming.
This schedule was too tough for a team this young and this will effect their confidence in a negative standpoint in my opinion.
I have seen better offense in CYO in the 90's!!!!!!!!
PS these pranksters on SNY Stink as announcers and the Refs were so biased

It wasn't just Norm years, either.  I recall getting embarrassed several times during Fraschilla's first season.  I would be ticked after most games.  I recalled a friend of mine chuckling and silently rooting for the opposition whenever he watched a game with me.  I told him things were gonna change the following season.

Well, it started off slowly, but eventually things did change the following year.  I just feel things are gonna change next season for us.

 Where's Marillac?  We need his unbridled optimism right now.

Wasn't a fan for the Fran years so all I have is what Jarvis left behind and Normie.

If I go to the Syracuse game I will get arrested.  Anyone willing to pony up the bail money?

This is just crazy talk. I'm pretty sure any poster here with the name Ill in his handle must be nuts

49 points again?

Well, I can tell you the first season and a half wasn't exactly poetry, Moose.  There were some ugly games and losses.

I'd sit everyone of those kids on the floor in the last minute with the way they looked to start the next game. that is unacceptable on any level for any team, especially this one.

This game had a very different feel to it than some of our other lop-sided losses.   I don't want to say the effort wasn't there.... but even for us guys were standing around more than usual.   

And we definitely looked a step slower than usual.   Hope were not hitting a wall.
