Exactly. I remember how excited the students and fans were before the Dartmouth game. It went downhill from there. Not pretending that last year wasn't a dumpster fire, I put some hope in the crowd at the Syracuse game. It was like the old days. I have a kid there and if we start putting up wins, those kids will fill those seats again. People love a winner, and college kids love a winner with players they see on campus and go to class with. Win and they will come. True. The Syracuse game was fantastic. The best home game atmosphere since early in the JT3 years. Gave me some hope, which was quickly dashed.

I feel like we have a shot at 10-10 with our current roster. What do you guys think?

I feel like we have a shot at 10-10 with our current roster. What do you guys think? It will take about 4-5 forfeit wins but anything is possible. Monkeypox may rip through the Big East and sideline a few teams.

This is impressive - according to a legitimate journalistic follower of the Big East, we have now jumped DePaul and no longer have the worst roster in the conference. Unfortunately we still have the worst head coach... More good news, though, is that it's not like Georgetown is going up against any Goliaths within the conference. List of top 25 coaches nationally (hard to understand Scheyer at #10, though)... 247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Top-25-college-basketball-coaches-ahead-of-2022-23-season-187892924/#187892924_1Also, thought this passage was particularly interesting from Aidan's column today, more evidence that our head coach is more interested in a paycheck than actually earning it... "In talking to those that know him, Wahab never felt truly comfortable at Georgetown, both on and off the court. While his relationship with Ewing wasn’t bad by any means, Wahab was disappointed at times in what he felt was a lack of individual coaching from Ewing outside of regular team practices. In Wahab’s mind, he envisioned a tighter bond with Ewing in which more individualized attention was given to him to help him improve his game as a center for Georgetown. He didn’t feel he got that attention, and that was a source of mild discomfort for Wahab that contributed to him leaving Georgetown." hilltophoops.substack.com/p/qudus-wahab-returns-to-georgetown?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo3MzIzODQ1MywicG9zdF9pZCI6NTYzMDEyNDYsIl8iOiJ0VkxGNiIsImlhdCI6MTY1MzQwMDIwOCwiZXhwIjoxNjUzNDAzODA4LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMjM0MDMxIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.hcXdw_DjVsdKK9K1y-CfD63598E2vu7gXAfUqu3vyTM&s=r

Put a number on it. 5-15? It’s probably worth waiting to see which of the players don’t actually make it to the first game (guys getting dismissed from school or vanishing under mysterious circumstances - another hallmark of a Ewing team) before predicting a record. But, regardless, I don’t think they’ll finish better than 9th which, while outstanding for the worst coach in the country, is actually horrible yet again.

For reference, 6-14 was good for 9th last season. We’ll see.

Predicting another horrible season for a Pat Ewing team is about as far from a hot take as one can get. Agreed but somehow you keep saying it over and over like it's a new thought. Turn the page. It's not even that I disagree...I don't want Ewing to be our head coach...I agree he has been horrible to date with the exception of 4 games...simple is that...but he is the coach and I refuse to root against him or the team as a fan.

I think that blogs that don't adhere to traditional journalistic standards - citing sources, verifying rumors, having a professional editor, etc. -- are about as reliable as my "in the know" friends -- who are usually 50/50. It may be accurate -- he may not be making it -- but it may be inaccurate and he may be making it up -- there's no way to tell based on the rigors of the reporting.
That being said, I come here for the latest and greatest rumors ... so I enjoy it!

You'd have better luck getting quotes from a program where a Coach would actually go on the record and provide a quote.

Can I please have the name and address to your job so that I can show up there and demand that you provide the general public routine press conferences, quotes and access to inside information? I think that it is important that you not only go on record to your boss as to your strategic plan for your area of responsibility within your organization, but also make sure that you provide answers to general public (not only your boss) as to why you are or are not meeting your performance goals. Please provide as soon as possible as I think this needs to begin very quickly.
