Let’s just say if we lose this game I think we’ll set a new level of outrage on here…

There will likely be some kind of outrage if we win. They will find something. |

Actually the Hoyas remind me of many recent DePaul teams with a few clearly talented players but little that resembles teamwork. DePaul has not been without talent and neither are the Hoyas.

The irony is that DePaul is Hoyaboya’s other team. Must be difficult when both teams are horrible. This game is for the Hoyaboya Cup. It’s vital that we win this trophy and bring it back home to DC. |

Will anyone be even a little bit surprised if we lose at DePaul? I would be far more surprised if we win this game than if we lose it.

Injuries have wrecked DePaul this year. At full strength, the teams are pretty even and DePaul obviously has the massive coaching edge. But their team is pretty weak right now and not sure their coaching advantage will be enough.

If they can’t get up for the Hoyaboya Cup then they should just go home. So long as Ewing is coaching you don’t seem to care whether we win or lose Professor. Doesn’t matter how abysmal the stats say we are, if we lose every game and half the team decides to transfer again, none of that is as important as having the program tied to Ewing and the Thompson family for you. I’m legitimately curious, If this isn’t the floor for you, what is? Do we need to finish last place, go winless for a second year in a row? |

As I said at the beginning of the season Coach Ewing needs to make the NCAA tournament this year. So I’m giving him this season to do that. No reason for people to sabotage him or try to protest the program during the season as that is counter productive to the team. |

Since there is zero chance for an at large bid, would you say that another fluke miracle BET win and NCAA bid would be enough to keep him? Or have you learned your lesson from drawing too many conclusions from one weird weekend? IMO there is lots of reason to protest him and try to get him out ASAP as every second he’s still on campus is another second that he’s ruining GU basketball and destroying the futures of the guys on his team. Ewing is a menace and it’s a disgrace he’s allowed to continue. |

The idea that it would be considered a success is so dumb that only a select few could still believe it to be true. |

How many games are left? Stick to Writing your game reports. Game reports? WTF are you talking about? In any event, it doesn’t matter how many game are left. The at large chances are, for all practical purposes, zero. So, winning four in a row in the BET is the only way in and we already know what a disaster that would turn out to be. As I said earlier, that would mean Ewing for several more years and the end of GU basketball. |

As I said at the beginning of the season Coach Ewing needs to make the NCAA tournament this year. So I’m giving him this season to do that. No reason for people to sabotage him or try to protest the program during the season as that is counter productive to the team. Well the team is clearly not making the tournament unless they win the BET again. How does something I or someone else here says about the team going to make that not happen more than what is already happening with the actual team. By most every measure, Ewing stinks, the team stinks (mostly because of coaching or coach related reasons) and whatever I say here isn't going to change that one way or another. If by us being positive, it would change the fortunes of the team immediately, then I'd be all in. However, that's not how things work. And, based on history, even with a winless BE season, Georgetown administration didn't think Ewing deserved to be fired. If we don't speak up constantly, there's no reason to think that won't happen again. Because of that, NOT speaking up and protesting during the season is what is counter productive. |

No reason for people to sabotage him or try to protest the program during the season as that is counter productive to the team. When he was gifted the head coaching position without merit, Pat had no idea how to coach college basketball and much less run a basketball program. Now, after five years and a half, I think he is either stubbornly trying to show everyone his schemes work in college or he just cannot learn (use whatever adjective you like) what works. Yes, booing is needed. That is not sabotage. The more noise, the merrier! Make Little Lord Jack Fauntleroy uncomfortable. |
