All I know is that a rebuilding effort everyone thought was going to take a long time, JTIII did in essentially two years. I'd also note that if this had just been a regular season game we'd have lost to the AP #23 team in the country in their home state with Roy saddled with some terrible fouls. We still would have been upset, but I doubt anyone on this board would have gone through the histrionics about the team that we've seen on numerous threads, or the wild assaults on Coach Thompson like the one perpetrated by this likely troll.

I didn't realize they were 23. That takes some sting off it. It would be like if we lost to Marquette on the road. We shouldn't have done it, but it wasn't UMBC. |

This looks like something straight out of "The Onion". Forget the assistant coaches, I think JT III's choice of attire for the tournament is what really destroyed our chances.

Davidson was hideously underseeded - by rights, they should have been around a 6 seed. Same goes for Butler. The longer this tourney goes on, the worse the committee looks. Vandy as a 4 seed? I honestly can't remember them doing a worse job of seeding teams... |

When I first saw that they were #23 it took the sting off a bit for me, too. And then it just made me angrier, thinking what a raw deal we got.

Listen, guys, why get your panties all up in a bunch? Hoyahebrew's shortcomings as a poster have been well documented, and we need not rehash that ugly and all-too-well-known historical narrative.
We've obviously touched a raw nerve here, as his posts have become more and more filled with vitriol, and his arguments became accusatory in near record time for a new poster. In fact, his psychological analysis of the board diagnoses angst and frustration throughout the HT community, which is the rhetorical equivalent of informing us that we didn't get hugged by daddy enough when we were kids. (Perhaps lic could give us a psychological profile of hoyahebrew?)
He's insulted us all, but it's nothing to worry about, as he argues more like Gerry McNamara with his Syracuse degree than a distinguished Georgetown alum.

Seriously, this guy signs up at 1:40 yesterday afternoon and starts this thread several hours later. How is this troll not kicked off yet? I saw this thread ant home this morning and figured it would be locked by the time I got to work. Wrong. I don't care other than it gives people a chance to pad their number of posts trying to intelligently respond to this fool! This cannot stand!  |

My bad. I should have waited until the body was cold before expressing disagreement.
These vapid responses came faster than Charles Smith speeding away in his car up in Boston some years back.
The point, my fellow Hoya fans, is that I want to win our first legitimate national championship as much as you do. I"ll root for JT3, of course, but I do have my reservations.
Say what you will about wins and losses, but Craig Esherick restored this program's good name after Pops quit on his players in mid-season after many years of turning GU into UNLV East - Interesting phrasing in that he wanted so desperately to invest in a Vegas casino - thankfully our admin shot him down.
Is it wrong to criticize? Must we all be in lock-step? Does anyone out there agree with me that having Mary Fenlon on the bench for many years was an embarrassment? Can you imagine this happenning at Harvard, Howard, MIT, Haverford, Stanford or any other great university? We're Georgetown, one of the best schools in the world. We don't have to show off that academics matter. I laughed at the pre-tournament articles concerning the Stanford Cornell match-up as the battle of the nerds. How come we're never described in that way. We're btter than both schools academically.
But back to the present Hoya team and coach. I'm excited about the new players coming in. I love Hibbert as a person, and hope that waiting a year to enter the NBA hasn't cost him some bucks, but we'll be better off without him as a liability in the middle. We'll have so much more flexibility next year. He's a prince of a guy, though, and I look forward to supporting him when he runs for public office in the future.
Don't think for a moment I just stress the negative. I admire the great players and human beings like Dalton, Duren, Sleepy, Shelton, and Jerome Williams.
I just don't want to be in a position to defend my school to others like I did watching the infamous Reggie Williams interview after the final game in 1984.
This has been a very enjoyable season. Only a couple of squads end their season with euphoria. So this summer, after a quiet stroll through the streets of Provincetown with my partner, I'll return to my summer weekend rental, and play the tape of the Radford game.
And relive the genius of Coach Thompson devising a fabulous defensive strategy to stop the Highlanders' Tyler Kleckner.
WE ARE GEORGETOWN! HOYA SAXA!

This guy NEEDS TO GO. That comment on Esherick "restoring the good name of the program"--he's dead to me--and if that wasn't enough--the cheapshot comment about Charles Smith on a Hoya board is even more disgusting.
I think Hoyahebrew could be "Ignatius" with the shots at Hibbert--afterall whatever happened to that clown after years of saying Hibbert would "never play a minute" at Georgetown and how "awful" he was?? Nice to see you back Ignatius and now you have made it known that you are an Esherick fan and took a cheapshot at Charles Smith--may the worst things in life happen to not only you-but also your family--if they own up to being related to you.

look, this edited is obviously a troll looking to bait us, but please don't kick him off until he says why our first title was illegitimate - that should be a good one.
