Again, if you were a player or a coach would you think like this. As a player or coach I wouldn't doubt myself or my team. There are no if's, but or nor's. I'm going into this game saying to myself, "I'm going to play as hard as I can and let the chips fall where they may." Period. But we are not players or coaches. We are fans of the team. I think it's fair for a fan to make a realistic assessment of our chances to win a game, that's not hurting anybody. I have no idea if players or staff or Ewing read HoyaTalk but if they are going to change their outlook on a game because of what someone on HoyaTalk says, we have bigger problems than that. Obviously, from a coaching perspective you want to keep things positive, and you always want to believe you have a chance to win every single day. I don't think it's a conflict with that to also recognize (and I am sure Ewing and the players do) that a game will be challenging, and that Georgetown might not be a favorite. And you cannot ignore facts - whenever two teams play and one is really good (Villanova) and the other one isn't (us) everybody knows who the better team is going in. The coaches know, the players know, the Las Vegas sports books know. It's unavoidable.

As I stated I/ME look at things from a coaches/players stand point. Got it??? I didn't say anything about being fair or unfair. All I'm saying is don't jinx the team. Geez can you people get out of your feelings. This is just ridiculous. What facts? The facts are for ME to stay positive and hopeful!!! I just got a RT on Twitter from GTownHoops about this, so I'm guessing they like my positivity. I don't care about your BS comments. Geez stop the Charmin softness. Let people speak for themselves you act like little kids on the playground trying to take up for one another. Let it go! The players and coaches are going into the game trying to win it. It doesn't help when our fans aren't LOL! This is my opinion so respect it! If not, you know what to do!!! I also said I am a coach. Again, coaches and players go into win and nothing else. My fact and opinion's ... #icantbreathe

My fact and opinion's ... #icantbreathe Glide, I respect and understand your opinion. I get where you are coming from, and I think my response acknowledged that. My response was merely explaining my viewpoint - if you disagree, no problem at all. This has nothing to do with "feelings" - it's a differing viewpoint. I also get that you have coached, and that informs your viewpoint. Being positive is a good thing - I don't think anybody disagrees with you here. But it's possible to be positive and instill confidence, while recognizing a realistic sense of where the team stands. That is my only point. Of course, the team goes into every game to win it - and they should! Finally, and I say this with the utmost sincerity - you ask for respect, but then seem to not respect anybody else's viewpoint by attacking them, calling their comments BS, etc., as you did in your response to me. Again, you may not intend it to come across that way, but it does.

I think our bench may be a big factor in this game. SH is not a deep team and were gassed at the end of their loss to Marquette. PE should go to his bench early and often, to keep Jesse and MD out of foul trouble and rest his starters. Not making any predictions, but hopefully we'll be competitive, especially our bigs. Hate 12:00pm games, but will be there to cheer them on. GO Hoyas!!

Again, you may not intend it to come across that way, but it does. I've always gave everyone a thumbs up even if they didn't or don't agree with. You last sentence is untrue and you shouldn't of even written this. I respect everyone's opinion but ya'll don' respect mines and you know this. Don't try this reverse psychology mess with me. You guys attack and disrespect my knowledge all the time. You just did a while ago but then as soon as I come back with facts some of you call it attacks. If you attack someone for their knowledge and you know your stuff yes, it's BS. Stop it, ya'll are something else. It comes across this way to me when ya'll assume or attack my posts .... Please stop the BS. Being realistic is believing in your team and not assuming anything else. They haven't even played the game. You all should know how the Big East is. Any team can be beaten any night Gtown is no different. Again, I lost a son but he never gave up and always believed he was going to live. I have no choice but to keep thinking like this. This is realistic. You can take your feelings and go some damn where I'm sick of this crap. You guys can't even stick to basketball without ASSUMING AND ATTACKING posts. It's ridiculous. Nothing but a bunch of soft chumps. Okay? So childish. Who are some of you? Where do you come from. Gtown hoops didn't have a problem with me pumping their team on Twitter so why do you, but you talk about realistic. You don't know what realistic. Some of you have that slave master mentality and you know what you can do with it too. Yeah I said it. Now if you want to talk basketball instead of sucker ball keep it moving. Get mad because I call it like I see it over some basketball. Insane.And you ain't said sh__ with sincerity. Who do you think you are??? KMA...STOP ASSUMING. SOFTY. Can't even be positive without these suckers saying some BS out of they mouths or fingers. #ICANTBREATHE I don't posts BS until you idiots attack or assume my comments. I know I talk over your heads. If you don't like something keep scrolling and let people speak for themselves. Is this some type of Klanboard? Like you said you may not intend it but it comes across this way for me. Now how do you like that? Cry babies. You can inbox me if you have a problem with me. This is a basketall discussion board not bi__board. You make yourself look soft and like a cup cake trying to speak for other's. Be a man. Step up to the plate. Dan have to lock a discussion board too??? WOW. This is all I said: Some of you just like to keep the madness going. As I stated I/ME look at things from a coaches/players stand point. Got it??? I didn't say anything about being fair or unfair.

I'm happy to argue basketball all day long, but I am not going to deal with insults and personal nonsense from somebody out on the Internet.

How many threads does this guy have to torpedo, and how many good board members does he have to call racist for no good reason whatsoever before something is done?? It’s absolutely ridiculous. Dude demands respect while at the same time being an absolute d bag to everyone who slightly disagrees with him. I’m tired of it.

My goodness what the heck is going on??? I say something positive to Gtown hoops on Twitter I RT's but come here and it's like day and night. Geeeeeeeeeeez doggone weirdo's.

I don't demand respect you ASSUME I do. I do not and I repeat because someone doesn't agree with call me out. I'm tired you some your racism and disrespect. I never said anyone who disagreed with me. I've never been this way. You all use this for excuse because Im talking over some of your heads. I keep it 100 on hoops, but then get attack with assumptions, but as soon as a write or call the bs out you get into your feelings. This is discussion board not complaint board. You see my pic right there you know what I look like just find me in Capital One. I got your d bag too. Let it go! I've been said let it go but some of you want to keep on... go right ahead .. looks like there a few in here maybe you too hoyaatheart55?

Seriously, lifelong fan of Georgetown basketball and I would like to have a place to discuss it but these threads become unreadable. Yes, and so are personal attacks on me as well. So, when a brother gets attack and people assume instead of ask is not a personal attack, but as I soon as defend myself I'm attacking? hahahahaha...I don't know are you rich and racist?Did I say everyone was or the ones who know they are? If you're racist you wouldn't say a word. Seriously, you can inbox me and ask questions. Why keep going on? I keep saying this is a discussion board. All I mentioned was positivity and would a coach or a player thing negative going into this game vs. Seton Hall. The attacks and assumptions started right then and there. Why? I don't know. Maybe some feelings got hurt when I simply was trying to be positive. This is how soft some here are. lol I can't help their feelings. I'd love to keep talking about this game but seems some feelings are/were still hurt behind me trying to be positive. I don't care if someone doesn't agree with me. And no, I don't call people out for not agreeing me never did. These are the assumptions I keep talking about. If a person was respectful they'd ask questions first. This is where things go south. People thinking they know it all. Then when you say they may be wrong here come they attacks and assumptions. LOL! Silly right? Keep it bball. I'd like to move forward. I've said this many times.

Glide, part of the problem is the "got it" that you use all the time. It doesn't come across as fun or you making a point. It comes across as you being like a parent scolding a child. Also, there are very clearly a handful of words that you use in a way that probably makes sense in the way that you feel you're using them but come across entirely differently (or are just the wrong words) when you use them (opinion, assume, realistic, attack, knowledge, bigot). I've seen very few attacks on you but I've seen you attack posters on a consistent basis. Maybe the problem is, at least in part, you?
