Yeah, what's up with Donaldson lately? He's also the one who blasted Abu Bakr for criticizing Four the other night.

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
The team just doesn't give up...there's something to be said for that...people like that. You'd think all teams would be like that, but trust me, they aren't.Billyboy78 wrote:Yeah, what's up with Donaldson lately? He's also the one who blasted Abu Bakr for criticizing Four the other night.
Despite everything, these guys are still college kids, playing their a55es off...That's easy to stand up for and good to see.
GO RHODY!

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
I'm totally shocked. Donaldson has been negative about our program for years. He was advertising for Hurley to go to Rutgers a couple years ago. I personally called the journals sports editor to complain about him. Maybe he finally realizes he should be supporting a state program. Go figure

Correct, I don't. But, from what I see here, this looks like a + change for sure.

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
Donaldson shouldn't be supporting the state program...and he shouldn't be against it. He's a journalist. You (or I) shouldn't tell a journalist he should be cheering for or supporting anything. That's not his job.
His job is to write "objectively" on subjects. He clearly could not do it on URI...with the constant snide comments and columns (and the constant suck-up to PC.) I can tell you quite a story on Jimbo.
Regardless, I have not clicked on a Donaldson article in years. And I won't click on this one, just because it's positive. He's a total jag-bag.
I would never pay for a Projo because of jerks like him. No way my dollar will support his salary. He's so lazy, arrogant, and stale.
I'm not interested in his thoughts.

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
I once asked Reynolds why the projo was slanted towards PC and didn't seem to care much about us.
His response: " We're the Providence Journal, not the Kingston Journal."

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
Donaldson is a columnist - a professional opinion sharer.
While I do like the piece, Jim is similar to the role Dan Shaunessy has up in Boston -- provide provocative takes on sports.

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
URI has been so snake-bitten with horrible luck that Donaldson feels so bad for the program that he can't even bring himself to write his signature negative stories at this time. Who would have thought he would follow the don't kick a man when he was down policy?

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
Actually totally agree with Jim. I hope the fans still support this team. I wish I lived in the area to go to the Ryan Center more than the once a year I do, but I watch every game and cheer as hard as I did since I fell in love with the Rams as a student in the 90's. If we are true fans, we don't give up on these guys and wait until next year. I know there will be little chance for sell outs this year because there are only so many true fans, but as true fans let's not give up. I know there is banter and frustration on the board, I choose not to read most of it because I truly enjoy Rhody Hoops every year. Let's give this team what they deserve, a loyal fan base that cheers loud for them. I love Hurley, and still feel lucky to have him. He's a 43 year old coach that is learning some very valuable coaching lessons through unbelievable adversity, this will only make him better as a coach. He's in in 6th as a college coach, who here mastered their craft in 6 years? Being around basketball is much different than running a D1 team in a good league. Great things are coming for this program, get on board!!!!
Go Rhody!!!
Go Rhody!!!

I think Four should be playing less minutes and I've said that many times.
However people over 30 that actually understand how you succeed in life actually understand why that was the right thing for RhodyMBB to do!

Re: Donaldson positive ProJo article
When Donaldson is critical of teams I don't like I often agree with him....so I give him deference when he is critical of our team....he is often right then too.....when he is positive it seems a good thing too.....
