Announcers keep quoting Ferrys young team while I am watching a senior, 3 jr and a sophomore on court for Duquesne. WTF

On National TV mind you El D

Fortunately on a network no one watches.
 

I just put a paper bag over my head but with no eye holes. My wife is giving me the play-by-play. VBC I'll trade you an OOOfficial Danny Nee bobblehead for the basketball.

They finally mentioned our great legacy going back to Norm Nixon. Actually it stopped at Norm Nixon...

I wonder if Charlie is watching the next level coach?  There is nobody with any basketball IQ on this team starting with the coaching staff.  There is no visible signs of coaching on this team. 

I would guess that most who follow this board know where I have stood on Ron Everhart's firing and his replacement with a "next level" coach. Need I say more???

Dayton brings in the Werhle kid and he's blocking shots like he's Bill Walton.

This is 100% correct.   Alright FAM, I'm writing a letter on Monday.

Well so far I havent but may go Wednesday. Would we be allowed to wear  paper bags?  Another option is to go and discuss the AD and coach while moving around to others ...the other 78 people there. I think I could stir things up pretty well. Since the AD hasn't been through such a terrible losing progrsm like this maybe he will actually care. Hey Amodio, r u mature enough to admit your hire was a huge mistake. If I do go to the game it will probably only be one out of maybe 3 I would go to. I said before that I look at my season tix purchase as a donation to the University.

I would be careful doing that. They find out they will kick you out.

Einstein was the one who described insanity as doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

The announcers said that Ferry wanted to play man to man, like he did at LIU, but didn't have the talent, so he was forced to play 2-3!  And forced to play that 2-3 even though it was getting ripped to shreds and Dayton was getting open looks for unconstested threes!

Really Jim?  There is nothing else you can try?  You only have one defense and it doesn't work?  No match-up, no man to man, no box in one. There is nothing you can't even try in practice five weeks into an already dead season?

Either your head or Amodio's better roll at the end of this eason!

Actually, while Norm was great, we sucked while he was here too. We had one winning season with Nixon, a scintillating 14-11. We haven't actually been good since we went 20-5 in 1972. In the interim, we've had what I would call "nice teams", four times. Twice under Rice, and once each under RE, and Red Manning. Add to that 3 "decent" teams under RE, one under Carroll, and one under Satalin. That is it. In 43 years, 9 "acceptable" teams (no I don't count the 1977 team. They sucked, and got lucky when Keith Herron injured his ankle in the semis, and couldn't go in the Final.).
