Back the fuck up before you get message board smacked the fuck up

Let's clean it up on this thread please.

Count me in!

...that was puke?

I don't know what's funnier, the fact Mongo actually thinks I want to be right about Hassan missing up to 4 weeks, or the fact he got offended and threatened me cus I used a little cuss word.

TruePoint wrote:I know if URI had beat PC 7 straight times I would say that probably 8 or so times a day, just randomly toss it into conversation even with people that don't have any idea what I'm talking about. So while I don't like hearing it, it is what it is. It's like when a team runs it up on another team in football: if you don't like it stop them from scoring. If URI doesn't want to hear about how many times in a row PC has beat them, then beat PC. Only legit way to get them to shut up about it.

My point was that Bill Koch has brought up the 7 straight losses many times, to the point that I was to my wits end. Then low and behold in today's article about Old Dominion he mentioned it not once, but twice in the same Old Dominion article. It didn't have to be PC, it could have been Dayton, St Joe's, VCU, but honestly these winning streaks mean nothing, they are just filler for writers for articles. These kids could care less about a 7 or 37 game win streak, I could care less too.

There is absolutely now way I am cleaning up what Rod posted. I can't even stand to look at that picture. It is one ugly mess.

On closer inspection...maybe not.
Still a classic pic... good times.

I was actually just being a wise ass in response to your wise ass comment. I hope you're wrong about Hass, but if you're right, one of these media outlets should hire you. You certainly had the beat on this one. Good for you!

In related news... Koch just tweeted confirming Has is out indefinitely with a right leg injury

What.happened

And the hits just keep on comin'

So after being posted here 9 hours ago Bill finally decides to check it out. Probably still caught up in the 7 straight losses to PC storyline.

So Mongo owes somebody a drink???

I have to say this is thread has turned into the funniest one since prior to the PC game, even though it went down the toilet at times.

Fuck!

the funniest thread of the year just got funnier. This is one of those classics. Not funny of course about the injury at all.....Hassan has been an absolute beast this year. His Free throw shooting improvement is beyond belief. His rebounding, shot blocking and scoring the basketball have been amazing. He has positioned himself as a real candidate for A10 Player of the year. Seriously best to make sure he is healthy as possible for the upcoming A10 Conference games. Finishing Top 2 in the A10 is mandatory to insure the prestigious NCAA Bid.

But this thread has had everything in it complete with rumors, insults, toilets, threats, humor, you name it - and all without any criticism of DH

Last year he sprained his left ankle and favored it to the point he hurt his right knee. Hopefully this isn't a recurrence of that knee injury.

This very unfortunate event will probably make Rod's day as he can now blame the team's performance tonight on the coach. Us real fans wonder when the team can catch a break but something like this makes the day of an idiot like Rod the God.

Wow....it just isn't meant to be for this program......

I still think we could win tonight....but forget Houston......

.......somehow I think that is not gonna go well....

C'mon guys, cheer up. URI was ranked in the pre-season magazines as high as #21!!! That stuff is really important. It helps sell tickets and Dan uses it to get recruits. Joe Lunardi had URI in his mid-July Bracketology so the Rams must be in. I mean after all, everyone gets their panties in a bunch about what Joey Brackets says or doesn't say.

Let the excuse list begin:

1) EC not the EC of old.
2) Depth of bench not as anticipated.
3) The freshmen (who really nobody saw play in high school) are not ready for prime time.
4) Dan hasn't improved the offense.
5) Martin is out for extended amount of time.
6) The refs hate URI...especially at St. Joe's. URI never gets any calls. The A-10 office wants to stick it to Rhody.

Anyone else want to chime in?

Quad injury, not a knee, as reported by Goodman and Rothstein.

This sucks.

Tonight without Hassan is tough but doable. We were already an underdog at Houston. They should be able to beat Holy Cross, William & Mary, and St. Louis without him. So then you get to January 3rd against St. Joe's, hopefully he's back then. Even though we can beat St. Joe's without him you'd like to see him get some time in before the January 6th game at Dayton.

The guy we can least afford to lose.

The first 5 excuses are dead on......no. 6 the refs don't hate US but they aren't too enamored with Dan with his tantrums and our fouling becomes more magnified on the road because that's what happens on the road.....

EVERY year of Dan's tenure has had it's share of excuses...some problems self inflicted, others out of his control.....it never, ever, ends.

If there is a tear in the muscle it's going to take at least several weeks to heal...and he won't be 100% for a while after that.....

If it's just a strain or sprain, maybe a couple of weeks.......let's hope

Rambone, seriously, not the tantrums thing again. He has changed his sideline behavior. Do you watch any games. Criticise him as you wish but why not wait until he actually goes ballistic this year first.

ramster, he has a history, a rep, whatever.......and I think it's going to stick with the refs for a while....or at least until he starts winning more.....

yeah he's backed off some this year...but we'll see what happens if things start to fall apart with Hassan's injury.....just sayin'

"A full recovery and return to the court" isn't really a timetable.

Hey puke Ellie, go take a swim in your toilet,
you pissant maggot.
Take a big gulp while you're at it.
Only a fucking asshole like you would think I'm happy
Hassan Martin or anyone else is injured.
By the way, shitball,...
You know, everyone knew where I sat, for years.
How come you never grew a set and came over and
told me you swill to my face?
Hide behind a keyboard with a bullshit name.
Scumbag coward.

People making an issue about his sideline demeanor was always dumb anyways, whether anything has changed or not.

As they say, pressure can burst pipes or make diamonds.
For the sake of this message board and this team I sure hope its the latter.

In all seriousness, this forces someone to step up. I'm not in the "Berry is the cure-all" crowd, but I am of the opinion that he should be seeing time on the court. I assume this will make it a necessity. He has stepped up in the past when pressed into duty.

TruePoint wrote:People making an issue about his sideline demeanor was always dumb anyways, whether anything has changed or not.

That's true,

But it makes it geometrically dumber now that he has changed it

But it allows playing conspiracy theory #163-B the refs take it out on us

No excuses, just win.

Langevine gets the start

Going to be tough to run, rebounds could be hard to come by.......if we shoot well, we can win...but we don't usually shoot well in the half court offense....and they are good defensively......

Only chance imo is if we can pressure them and turn them over...a lot...need easy baskets.....

He is out 4-6 weeks

If it is 6, we are in serious do-do.......

Berry played very solid defense this half

6 weeks for a quad muscle seems like an awfully long time. I would be shocked if it took that long.

Unless it's a very bad sprain or tear...he has to rest it.....every leg movement stresses that area.....

Believe me Rod--I absolutely have no interest in meeting you. I am impressed that "everyone" knew where you sat. Who, in their right mind, would ever want to waste their time and talk to you. You seem to be pretty full of yourself. To a lot of readers of this board (me included) you are full of you know what......

UCH21377 wrote:Berry played very solid defense this half

I thought he played pretty well, too. I'm not a 'Berry to save the team' guy, but...he played pretty decent and it almost looked like he had some 'rust.' I don't know...but maybe more minutes might help him be better. Just not sure where you squeeze those in...maybe 12/18 and 12/22...in front of 'almost nobody' at the Ry?

Meeting in person would probably be a good idea... I've butted heads with a few on this board, including Rod (I had no idea where he sat, so I....asked him) Found that meeting folks in person changes things a lot. I figured after a while, if I was going to be 'doosher', at least it was better to be a 'known' doosh than to be an anonymous one. Have met a couple different people (and have some outstanding invitations) that I've had 'disagreements' with...and it's been totally worthwhile. Go for it and Go Rhody.

Hey Ellie, since you have a hard on for me, after you see a doctor about it lasting more than four hours,
how about we have Mods put up a poll.
Who stays, who goes. The loser doesn't post anymore.
Let the board decide.
The guy who thinks Chrabacz couldn't play in the A-10, and adds nothing to the board other than trolling me, or
the guy who was on the Lamar Odom story ahead of TMZ, told everyone Thorr was staying,
gave recruiting info, broke Dave Cox hire, asked Dan real questions to his face, and a boatload of other things, stays or goes.
Deal?
It's put up or shut up time, coochie coo.

I've been in training rooms. He's not a sprinter like Usain Bolt. With treatment for a basketball player, one can play with a bad quad. Groin is worse is in basketball. Hamstring worse in track.

He should be able to get treatment and get back out there WAYYY less than 6 weeks. Maybe not 100% but if I was a senior and wanted to get the tournament, I wouldn't wait until I was 100%...

It's next man up. We can hold the fort down until Hassy returns

You are right Rambone. PMMM is also right, but Rambone is more right. 4-6 weeks.
