I cannot criticize the decision not to play. Injuries: check Getting shipped off to some shitty P6 home job if we did play (“logistics”): check Team members that had checked out (even before this): check No brainer in my mind. What’s understandably open to criticism is the communication / PR...

I’m guessing that since they actually got out ahead of this in the first place by letting the NIT know not to invite them, they were caught flat footed by ESPN’s revelation. I may be biased since I did not want an NIT invitation in the first place, but I have no problem with what the...

The character of the guys you bring in (rent) for year 2 will matter more than ever now. Maybe chalk this year up to a learning experience.

I believe the point you make in your 2nd paragraph is the logic behind the situation you describe in your 2nd sentence (in 1st paragraph). In some cases, there’s only so much money to go around. For me, personally, I have given to the “Bolder Bonaventure“ campaign. I pledged to one of the...

During Conger's (take note) senior season ("No Sleep til Brooklyn"), athletics was posting great videos after each game that included Schmidt's pre- and post-game speeches to the team. The last video they posted was after a loss late in the season, and Schmidt was frustrated after the game with...

One guy I have not been impressed with up to now played better today, except for on a 2 on 1 where he should have passed rather than taking it to the rim himself. Another guy I’ve really liked is proving to not be a shooter at all, so I don’t know where he is should fit in. Our interior guys...

My primary objective is to be able to recognize more than half the team by sight after watching the game.

I don't know if I need to post this, but at least I can get it out there and off my mind and can consider any comments you folks have in response. I just don't want to come off like I'm bashing any one individual publicly since I swore off on doing that several years ago. I said on the first...

I understand that the need for "marketing" is what's behind all this. That's why I thought I needed to say I will not be on board with any of the "me too" crap. Even if it's only seen by you folks. As I recall from my Marketing 101 (Prof Kaminsky I believe - known to my floor mates as the F**...

I need to chime in on the "Cult" thing. What I think is cool about the "Cult" label is that it grew from an honest comment made by Schmidt, and it fits very well our fan base. It wasn't created by some branding consultant. Nothing to run from, in my opinion. I was going to sarcastically...

There are big schools with bigger name "Journalism" degrees than Bona. Syracuse came to mind immediately (ugh) and then Northwestern. I find it curious that he announced his entry into the portal relatively late. Taking into account comments that were made regarding Collins at SLU...

For a myriad of reasons, I have felt for some time that I would prefer all 5 guys move on after this year. This was their year to "run it back," and we saw the results. I don't think another year in Schmidt's system would be of benefit to most of them. I would not hold it against Kyle or Osun...

Ha. I made up my mind a long time ago and have said for years I won't root for any team named after a state (and a few cities too). It actually frees up a lot of time for me at this time of the year.

I already left you a compliment on the other board, but in case you don't go back: a work of art.

It wouldn't do any good even if someone did. It's a sanctioned talking point.
