Gents, ( hoya9797 hoyaboya) This is a great week to be a Hoya fan. It would be shame for you to miss all the enjoyment on this site this week. If each of you is willing to admit that you were wrong...perhaps a bit over-enthusiastically skeptical/negative... I am willing to let it all go and forget about it. I imagine the vast majority of posters here would do the same. Please admit that the coach who took the least respected team in the conference to the conference title may actually be a better coach than you gave him credit/Unheralded players like Dante Harris can legitimately play and succeed at this level. At this point, it is like admitting the sky is blue. Hope to see you guys enjoy the rest of this year's ride. |

Funny thing is Double97 is out in Chicago so he could easily go to all (knock on wood) the games in Indy. |

I would hope we are better than to try to push their faces into the mud. Let's just back off and enjoy the ride.

Shoot, we family and they earned it! Nonetheless this is so sad. As I've said in the past. Their hate for Coach Ewing is stronger than their love for GU basketball. And them disappearing only proves it. |

The player most responsible for "your" school's lone BBall championship. Even if you think he is unqualified the fact that he is Patrick F'ing Ewing should be enough for you to always keep him no lower than the "ok/so-so" range.... |

They were on here every second of the hour posting negativity when times were hard. Now times are good and they can't even spend one second a day on the site now and you want to give them credit for a half &** compliment? C'mon man! |

I get the feeling that those who complain about them not showing up - or showing up much - recently are just disappointed that they can't blast 9797, boya etc. for their negativity. So I can't really blame them for not wanting to post just to have to read a slew of insults. |

Amazing that we're in the tournament and people's first reaction is troll culture.

I’ll go ahead and admit that they were wrong. Now lets move on and focus on this special group of players and coaches who have given us all this wonderful and unexpected gift with their hard work. Hoya Saxa!

Have you guys, Massholya and Frazier, even read what jwp wrote in his letter to those two guys? No one is saying to them to come on here and admit that they are wrong. JWP is asking them to come on here and celebrate with the rest of us and I am questioning why they aren't doing that. But of course, I asked them to come on way back when we won a couple of good games to celebrate with us. And of course, you know they refused to do so. One excuse that was given by 9797 when we defeated Seton Hall the first time was, he was sleep. Another time we won a big game and he wasn't on here because he broke his hand.
He told us the other day, the cast is off when he briefly came on here but you wanna know what else he did in announcing that the cast was off? He took another cheap shot at Coach Ewing and this was after the Hoyas defeated I think it was Seton Hall in the tournament. I ain't seen him since! Yet we done won the damn BET and he's a no show on these boards. Same with boya.
It's funny, these guys kept tormenting me constantly writing and responding to my comments with negativity every damn post. It was so bad, I had to block 9797. He was like an annoying vulture circling ready for the injured animal to die so he could feast on them pouncing on my comments. It was like he was looking for me to say something positive about the team and my coach so he could immediately shoot it down with his negative comments and rebuttals. And you guys don't want us to say not one word to them yet you didn't say anything to them when they were constantly constantly hating on Ewing? You guys let them criticize our team, criticize our coach and you don't want us to say one word about them? I'm not going to say a damn thing to either one of them but like I said before, they can't be real fans of the Hoyas if they can't come on here and cheer the guys on. If they don't ever come back, I would not lose any sleep over them and I won't mention their names ever again.

Tell him to come onto this board and join us! But homey, can't be a bandwagoner. The is for life! You can't be a fair weather fan even if you don't agree with the coach. You got to ride it out and be a fan til' the day you die. I became a fan when I was 15 and I ain't never jumped ship. There were some years when I wasn't following them as much because I was too busy working three jobs and putting myself through school so I couldn't pay too much attention to them (Eshrick era and end of Thompson's era). But, because of Ewing and Thompson, I am a fan for life! Well maybe until the Thompson family tree gets broken. Or, unless a time when someone comes along and capture my imagination like Coach Thompson and Ewing did should that tree gets broken will I keep cheering for the Hoyas. Or maybe I will stop cheering for them when I reach my 60's or 70's. I will be too old then and I am almost certain I won't have an appetite for college basketball as much even if Ewing is still the coach! |

Moderator Note: that’s enough of this thread which adds literally NOTHING to the discussion here. These kinds of threads with posters berating other posters about whether they are real fans rather than discussing basketball do little more than drive posters away from this board. I should note that I think the original poster had good intentions, but those got quickly swept away. This thread is locked. If people try to start it up in other threads the posts stand a good chance of being deleted. Clear enough? To be even clearer, the vast majority that participate here are Hoya fans and alums. People can disagree about the basketball, other approaches, etc. Few want to read endless posts trolling other posters. There’s a heck of a lot more exciting to talk about this week. Finally, reacquaint yourselves with the Board Rules: hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/13110/message-board-rules-updated-27A lot of this is covered there and board members are responsible for reading them and behaving accordingly. |
