We are all suffering from Ewing-PTSD. We will be subject to flashbacks for at least a couple of seasons until we can establish a different experience.

One of my favorite posters, smart, funny, passionate. He will be missed by the board, even more by everyone who knew him. RIP.

That article mentions a few pertinent facts about that game but leaves out a few others: (1) was a big-deal-at-the-time regional tv game, (2) was our second rout of HC that season— beat them by 14 innthr Holiday Festival in the Garden when HC was a Top ten team, and (3) great bedsheet sign in one end zone “Nail the Loss on the Cross” (complete with a Spraypainted Cross). Fails to mention the game started at like 4pm and doors opened at noon with 25 cent 20 ounce beers for sale. Played golf with Esherick a while ago before his head coaching stint (quite the stick BTW/finished on the runner-up team in our 45th reunion alumni outing), and he said most of what he remembers of the game is that when the team came out for warm ups the stands were packed and in fans were in, uh, a VERY good/rowdy mood already.... Ah, those were the days. Finished undefeated at home on the year with the win, on the heels of two epic one point comeback wins earlier that month (1) over Detroit (with three future NBA players), which had the nation’s longest win streak of 13-14 games at the time, and (2) an OT win over GW earlier that week after Esherick tied it with about a 40 footer at the buzzer. Sadly the day after the HC win we spit the bit at Fordham to blow any real chance of an ncaa bid and then were routed by VCU at Smith Center in the ECAC South game (star Derrick Jackson couldn’t play because an ulcer acted up) that could’ve provided a path to an automatic bid had we won and then beaten the winner of the ECAC North game (as we did in ‘75 and ‘76). My wife hates that this stuff I remember and yet other “more important” things are totally lost in time… As long as we remember the things that matter TO US!

Yep. One sit-out transfer, one medical transfer, and the '21 non-counting year. And he may be our 10th man right now - him or Grant. Getting old and staying old is a big goal for many staffs Getting old and staying old is my only personal goal at this point😉

I'm gonna hold off on the "great" designation. ND is a down program right now, I would be quite surprised if they are able to make a huge improvement in 2 seasons; let's see if we continue the series after that. Same with Syracuse, a down program in transition. Would love to see continued improvements in our scheduling, let's see how we schedule OOC a couple of years from now. Cuse has a chance to be really good this year as their starting backcourt could both be taken in the 1st round next year as well as some 4*s off the bench. Just need a solid frontcourt to be a tournament team so I love playing them this year. TCU will be a tournament team and Notre Dame/Rutgers will at worst be a Quad 2 game. We’ve got a nice OOC schedule for us to win some games. Hoping for a real MTC and then I’ll be real happy. We didn't schedule TCU or Rutgers, they were scheduled for us. Syracuse - a coach without head coaching experience following a legend - not usually a recipe for success.

To be fair, boya breaks no board rules, just provides his own "unique perspective". There is room for all at HoyaTalk. And if it gets too much for someone - well that is why the "ignore" option exists. FYI: "3. Posting repetitive messages with the intent of eliciting negative responses may be subject to post deletion and loss of password privileges." Yes but his messages aren't technically "repetitive", mostly these days he posts about various recruits. Even if it is often done with an agenda.

I know, but a rudimentary glance at the age of the attendees would suggest it was a subset of some sort - Board, big donors, longtime members, etc. They knew it was not the entire supporters club, just wanted to take any opportunity to take shots at Cooley.
You can relate to that 😉

I love the comments from bitter Provy fans. Apparently they are not intelligent enough to get that it was only the Hoops Club Board, not the whole club.

The thing is now that we have a legit coach, I don't worry as much about the individual talents of any one player/recruit. The key is how it all fits together. And yes someone's desire to be here and the commitment to being all-in is obviously a big plus. Along with unselfishness and a winning mentality. Don't get me wrong you still need top talent, but I trust Cooley - and staff - has a vision of the final product he wants and how the puzzle pieces fit. Add in the DC buzz as a major intangible. If we get a bunch of DMV kids with that local pride it would be a wonderful thing. Spot on.

A young man who wants very much to be at Georgetown. Just what Cooley is looking for.

It's a reply to Tim Pool in support of LGTBQ youth, this is not the own you think it is and you are showing your ass. If this is your response to us signing a top area kid - to attack their parents - maybe you should reconsider what you are doing here. This dude has been going out of his way to try and trash Williams for a couple of weeks now. Really weird stuff. When Cooley brings us a national title, the first post on HoyaTalk will be boya telling us that Cooley will not have justified his exorbitant contract until he wins two titles.
