Pausing before double OT to check in to see what Jeff Goodman is tweeting about, oh of course it's about our schedule :
Like literally one of these tweets is about the game, 5 of them are about how Captain Obvious Goodman is trying to pat himself on the back about being right about our horrible schedule.

The thing I can't get over is that we aren't ranked, we're forecasted last or second to last in our conference, there were two Top 25 teams going tonight as well as Syracuse, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, and the only game or program he tweeted about was Georgetown - *8 times*.
I get that our schedule was historically bad, but the team isn't noteworthy. The amount of energy he's putting into Georgetown just does not match the newsworthiness of the program at all. Something has to be up here.

Something has to be up here. Like what? The only thing “up” is that he’s a troll and his tweets about our schedule have actually gained traction among college hoops fans in general. Also, he’s not wrong.

I keep saying over and over again he's correct, but the amount of attention he puts into Georgetown is ridiculous given we don't appear on his network and aren't nationally relevant. I doubt our beat writers tweet this much about us. And has it really gained traction? If he bashed on a team like UNC or Duke or Kentucky he'd get 10x as many replies. There's some motivation here other than trolling.

My tweet back to Goodman after he responded to my previous tweets to him>>>"Patience. u know our the problem has always been lack of a true point gd. JTIII finally learned he had 2 hv one (Tremont Waters) bt our fans were inpatient not understanding how critical this was. I "immediately" wrote about this after the 2015-16 glidehoyas.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/understanding-what-the-hoyas-have-been-missing-a-true-point-guard/ "

What's actually kind of funny about all this is that our schedule - more than any other single thing, including our new coach - has made us relevant as a discussion topic in college hoops this year. And among the predictable jokes at our expense is a legitimate debate about scheduling philosophy and how to handle it with a rookie head coach and a roster beaten down by previous seasons.

Maybe, a weak non-conference schedule is a threat to their viewership if adopted en masse. 😉

I can't possibly believe that he is furthering his career by obsessively berating our program on Twitter. This is pathological behavior and will bite him in the ass one day.

He's clearly not a real journalist, he's just a click whore. So why don't we stop feeding him and just ignore all his stupid tweets? Reposting them only helps him.

I think you are correct centercourt400s but I came on here to share this one. So, I'll stop after this.

Twitter, for the most part, is the Playground For Idiots. Goodman is seeing ESPN blast guys out the door almost every week and apparently feels that the only defense is to be hip, cool relevant and controversial, via Twitter. We are just fodder for him to raise his profile. Just ignore the guy.

He went to Arizona, so we were not even a realistic shoot-for for him. 👍🏻
