Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

Would you like to wager on the amount of wins USD gets next year? Over/under 5?

I'll wait until the schedule is figured out because of USD's scheduling tactics.....

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

Who?

Here is the only 2 that I think could make the team and play signifigant time.

the only 2 I can think of would be Vlastuin and Orne..... now maybe there are some out of state football players that are really good at basketball.... and I'm sure there is that one kid who is from the streets of Omaha or Kansas City or Chicago or something who says Roy Williams offered him but he couldn't make grades or something ( I think every college has one of those guys)

As far as USD.... they are going to be horrible next year..... talked to some people familier with the program and they say that if USD wins 5 games next year they'll be beating expectations.... Said Louie can't create his own shot, the only reason he scores is because his defender has to sag on Cain or Grimsley.... Said that there red-shirts play while at USD it won't be because they are good.... Said that 2 freshman will be starting next year and if they aren't they'll be lucky to beat Mt. Marty at the dome..... this is coming from people from USD familar with the program, not me....

All what I am saying guys is don't hang your transition period on this year.... You do still have a few D-I transfers and a pretty decent team.... SDSU got there @$$es spanked its not debatable but at the same time you will get yours spanked too..... in 6 years lets come back and have an actual debate on whos transition was better....

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

But wait a minute it was suppose to be "beat a D1 school and then you can talk". Now it's "beat someone that matters". Next it will be "beat a program in a major conference and you can speak". After that it will be "beat a top 20 program on the road". Then it will be "Beat the #1 team in the nation on their court by at least double digits. "Go to the final four". "Win the national title". "win at least 3 consecutive national titles". "Beat UCLA's record for total national titles". "Beat an NBA team". "Win an NBA Championship with a college team". Gosh I am out of breath, whats next. Point being to some Jacks fans it wouldn't really matter. SDSU will be considered the better program regardless of how well USD does and how poorly SDSU has done. SDSU has already conquered that "poor" part of it. At least USD is still unproven. At this point I would rather have a chance to have a good program than to prove over and over that having a good program is only a pipe dream. I am not talking about anything more than being a competitive program in the Summit League. SDSU does not have that.

I'd say in this case we totally deserve it. There are a lot of ups and downs in D1 basketball, as CF will find out if he already has not. USD did indeed beat a D1 team, so we can't really argue now can we?

Thank you, sir, may I have another?

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

For that matter, SDSU has gotten a lot of good exposure, Maybe it's because of the girls but look at this year. Triple Crown Sports invites the guys to the Cancun Challenge, ESPN Bracketbusters upcoming in late Feb. After last nights debacle I think we may be seeing a different Jacks team on the court, and it will be for the better.

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

Words to live by, Filbert.
Question: Given this one loss, do we need to stipulate once and for all the U's men's bb dominance once they run the January table of Mayville, Valley City, USD-Springfield and Huron College alum, etc., etc.? Looking for guidance here.

Our men's team earned every bit of derision they receive.

My reaction is to just shut up and take the smack like a man.

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

Ok we got killed against IPFW but your one D-I win game against New Orleans, I didn't even know they had a Univeristy down there. When you beat someone that matters let us know, then maybe you can talk smack when that happens, until then go back to your board.

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

Wow is IPFW taking it to the road kill gang tonight. Kinda ugly I must say. The Iowa State game is looking to be more and more a fluke. Maybe you should try playing New Orleans and see how that turns out.

I was half-tempted to kick your sorry butt out of here, Coyote Fan, for telling the truth in smack.



Oh well, I'm going to continue to be an optimist. We have a lot of season left.

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

There are FIVE players walking around campus that could play with these guys! Before you react think of 5 people walking around campus!

Then why aren't they on the team?

Re: Spanked By a Bunch of Elephants

Pretty sure just about any team in Fort Wayne would have beaten the Jackrabbits tonight. You can't take it back. This team has to look at one another and then in the mirror and make a commitment to each other and themselves. Every time you step on the floor give it your best. These guys clearly don't do that and you have to wonder why that is. I only know one guy who should be held responsible. Coach Nagy needs to prepare these guys better and find a combination that can compete each and every time they take the court. The inconsistency is a sign of something more than a lack of talent or inexperience. Some how and some way, this team is not getting better, not playing well on a consistent basis. The blame for that can only be placed on Coach Nagy.
