There's a spy on campus

Scroll down to the second post by JuniorJinx. If you find him, what is the appropriate punishment?

Tell him he accurately described the current state of the team?

[HoyaSinceBirth]

I will never Understand People like that. I mean i was already a die hard hoya fan before applying to geoergetown. I knew i'd never be able to not cheer for my hoyas. So i refused to apply to any other big east schools. That way I could root for my new team and still root for the hoyas if i didn't get into georgetown. I can't undestand going to another conference school and rooting for another in league team. You go to a school they are you're adopted team and you root for them first.

Offer him a job writing for The Hoya as the basketball reporter?

[HoyaFanNY]

I guess I can understand it, but the fact that it involves SHU is strange to me because growing up in the Jerz myself, I didn't know any die hard Hall fans. This phenomenon is relatively common with Vandy students that remain big UT fans or Northwestern folks rooting for Ohio State - i.e. big time program as a first love, better academics as a college choice...

[hoyarooter]

This is an unusual situation, because the kid is attending GU only for his last two years of college, so I guess he didn't really form an allegiance. Generally speaking, I would say that you support your school over your childhood team. Speaking personally, I grew up (and remain) an ardent UCLA fan. I always root for the Bruins - except when they play the Hoyas.

[JimmyHoya]

It's understandable.

It's just a pity that A. he picked a team in teh same conference and B. he picked such a horrible school. But I guess it's cool, I just have never met a proud Hall fan ever in my life and I know far too many Seton Hall Academy graduates.

[prhoya]

He's dead on, although I don't think we've been sup-par for the whole season.

[StPetersburgHoya (Inactive)]

There are pretty stiff penalties for espionage and treason that are already on the books ...

[Big Dog]

I had no problem discarding 18 years of following Marquette hoops when I came to GTown. None. And that discarded loyalty quickly became envy during their 2003 Final Four run, followed promptly by hatred once they joined the Big East and beat us at the Bradley Center last season.

Can't understand why anyone would keep loyalty to Seton Hall, the most faceless and irrelevant program in the modern Big East. (Even South Florida has character for being so hopelessly terrible).

Dead on?

Growing up in North Jersey, having season tickets to both GU and SHU, Seton Hall has always been my second favorite team. My dad graduated from GU and I was brought up a hoya fan and still am. Tonight, no question I hope GU wins by 50, but other than this game I root for the pirates and why not. Unfortunatley I will be unable to go tonight due to myself playing in probably the biggest high school game of my career, but thats not the point. I am a junior now in high school and in the next twelve months I will be applying to colleges. No doubt in my mind that G'town is my number one choice, but with my grades (not terrible just not exactly GU material) I realize the only shot I have at getting into GU is my father being a donating alum. There's also no doubt in my mind that as I am in the process of making a list of schools to apply to, I don't care if I go to a Big East school probably with the exception of Syracuse. I'll still be the diehard GU fan that I am, but have a new second favorite team, Pittsburgh, Uconn, and Villanova are some on my list already. All in all, I know where this guy is coming from and hopefully I get into GU and don't find myself in his situation....

Go Hoyas!

younghoya, do you want us to send you a hb dorm captain aplication so that you can get started early (unless by "biggest high school game" you are trying to reveal that you're Chris Braswell/Samadro Samuels). Such dedication from a junior in high school, and don't worry about having loyal feelings to SH, once you get a taste there won't be any going back.

[DoubleOhHoya]

JuniorJinx sure called out Green. I hope he's paying attention.

I wish we could put Sapp's balls in Green's body.

[RockawayHoya]

JuniorJinx was more or less right on point. Good analysis from him, especially on Green. And I don't really have any hard feelings against him for staying a SHU fan; I don't think we can reasonably expect a transfer to be a diehard like we can expect incoming freshman to be.

I would disagree, BD, that Seton Hall is the most irrelevant basketball program in the conference. If I recall, their last NCAA appearance was the same year we made ours. Faceless, possibly (although Gonzalez is working his way towards becoming the face of it, IMO).

Jimmy, it's Seton Hall Prep. Not Academy. Just FYI.

Is this the most grotesque wish ever uttered in the history of HoyaTalk?

That should probably be rephrased: "I wish Jeff Green had Sapp's balls."

Otherwise it kind of sounds like he ate them.

[mapei]

Yes, that's a big improvement.

Yes. Yes, it is.

I mean, I understand people type and post quickly as they "participate" on conference calls and such but is it asking too much for a quick proofread? I mean, if not for us then for Jeff's mom? And frankly, if we could put Sapp's balls in Jeff's body, who's going to do it? I love the Hoyas but, you know, it's more of a hands-off, cheer from section 101 sorta love.
