Lotta chatter out there on the world wide web with VCU fans being unhappy with our guys. They don't like our celebrating, chatter with the refs (I could do without that, too, but that's neither here nor there), chatter on the court, quick hands, draping defense, gritty style, or fans. Call me crazy, but at-blind that sounds like VCU hates all of the things the VCU rep is built on.
The fact that the word on Bona's has elevated from 'pesky' and 'scrappy' and 'you know, those guys are pretty good this year' - any number of backhanded compliments- to a fanbase like VCU openly insulting and wishing failure on us is, to me, a great thing. I think it's a further step upward in the trajectory of our program's reputation when a stalwart like VCU is ramping up their feelings to pure hatred. You gotta be good to be worth disliking.
Love it and love this group.
