Anyone Need A Laugh About Now?

Unread post by rodfromcranston »

This garbage is hilarious. Fordham is listed as a better job above URI.
We play in "the 3,800 seat Keaney Center".
How do idiots like this get away with publishing this drek?
Sam Blum should change his name to Sam Dumb.

AMAZING futility in his attempt to put together a useful, factual article.

I'd love to go to the Keaney Center for a game. Where the Hell is it?

Geez, Rod. Why do you always tip toe around your opinions? Tell us how you really feel!

Sorry, but I remember reading the Fordham board after they beat us.
Superiority attitude, for no reason at all.
My guess is the writer is another Fordham cheerleader, with no perspective.

Blum is actually a Syracuse fan; I don't think he warrants comparison to that other clown. That site does a nice job covering New York City hoops. I especially like what John Templeton writes. That article was a poor effort, of course; the first draft didn't even have St. Joe's listed.

Fordham won't beat us again as long as Dan is here.

And it won't ever be close either.

Fordham was, is, and will forever be, a Patriot League level program. They drag the A10 down.

I love that he brings up the remote possibility of being a homer, and then shoots it down.

And to his point about RI not being a "recruiting hot bed" while Fordham is in the middle of one...how does he justify Fordham sucking for so long?

All kidding aside, how does a conference initiate that process? What steps need to be taken to remove a team?

I don't believe the A10 has any process in its bylaws for the removal of a member institution.

It would be nice to drop some of the dead weight (ie: Fordham, St. Bonnie, Duquesne). The conference would be much more competitive in the long run.

I agree...but you can't really say St Bonnies is dead weight, they did make the NCAA last year and won the conf.

If you want to say that on the grounds of their pathetic HS gym, that's fine...but it still stands that they've done more financially for the conference than we have in over a decade...even with our "last four" NIT appearance. That'll obviously change soon, but that point remains.

As for the dukes and fordham..yeah they can get bent and play in the patriot where they belong: constant bottom feeders, never had a basketball history, have terrible facilities, etc.

Plus Pittsburgh. Gross.
