Re: Hofstra Lacrosse 2024

As bad as playing baseball in the snow. The obsession with making every sport a year long ordeal is annoying. Seasons! Whatever happened to seasons?! It isn't fun anymore, it's kind of a nuisance. I'm not following every sport 12 months a year lol.

Re: MBB Game 19 @ Stony Brook, Jan 22 (Mon), 9 PM

I'm onboard with the social media, happy to give Gorchov his credit there, very nice work! And has been for a long time!

Now quit babying the HC in interviews. Just get some media training done for him to help smooth out the delivery, and we'll be straight. Thanks in advance SG! :P

Re: MBB Game 20 William & Mary, Jan 25 (Thu), 7 PM

Yep, that strategy sucks. Although I don't think HUSID is promoting that, more stating that's what this team is doing. W&M is yet another terrible team in this weak conference - let's see HU come out and own a game from start to finish for once. I'm not going to be gassing them up for beating ba...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Just saw Bama highlights tonight... they beat Auburn. AE is the 2nd leading scorer on the team, but had a DONUT in this game - now sure how he can score zero playing the minutes he does, that's bad. And the one highlight they showed of him was him getting the ball stolen for an easy bucket on the ot...

Re: Hofstra Lacrosse 2024

Nice, appreciate the heads up. It is baffling to me though that any Lax is played in the middle of winter. I don't really understand this lol. This sport shouldn't start until March. I know this is just scrimmage work, but the season starts in snow weather too, I think it's unnecessary - I guess tha...

Re: MBB Game 19 @ Stony Brook, Jan 22 (Mon), 9 PM

Agree with much that has been said here, and much I've been onboard with for awhile. I'm happy HU found a way to win the last two games... but I'm not going to gush about it. Those two are terrible teams, and HU struggled to beat both - HU is not a good team, and right now this is still the worst HU...

Re: MBB Game 18 Hampton, Jan 18 (Thu), 7 PM

If this team does not come out and absolutely wax Hampton from the first whistle to the last, then we can confidently call this season a total loss. Considering the urgency of their situation, and the lengthy break they’ve had for staff and players to look in the mirror and get their act together, t...

Re: Where is Tomasco?

I'm glad this came up, and I appreciate the question Jojo. This comes up nearly yearly across the zillion sports boards in the world. And it's easily debunked every time. It's called fan engagement.

Re: Men's basketball recruiting 2023-24

Why I've been calling attention to the seismic shifts on here the last couple of years - it's huge. I hate it. Doesn't matter. It's here. I don't disagree overall, of course HU can't compete with 500k -1M + for players. But I think it's very defeatist to turn that into HU can't compete at all. That'...

Re: MBB Game 16 @Northeastern, Jan 11 (Thu), 7 PM

JC did play well, kid was fighting to help his team win. Would've been nice to have had Dubar too... oh wait, he played, just wore an invisibility coat, my bad. Can't pick on just him though, team game after all. TT played better, just a poor shooter. How about recognize and ACT on the double teams ...

Re: Men's basketball recruiting 2023-24

Speedy's biggest recruiting job next season will be to retain Dubar. Kid is going to have opportunities, and if this program doesn't get it's act together this year, those opps are going to look awfully juicy. This fanbase better wake up to NIL and start participating, or this group is going to be r...

Re: MBB Game 16 @Northeastern, Jan 11 (Thu), 7 PM

Neither are good - no excuses, show you will win on the road and beat the teams you should. And they should absolutely beat both.

With you guys all the way - what we don't need is another 26 shots to score 22 points from Thomas. Atrocious. Coach and play smarter.

Re: Where is Tomasco?

PRACTICE PLAYER. As I've said from literally day 1. He's not here for anything more (no knock on him, that's his role). I hear you though on the need for bigs, and this is where the Wilmoth injury really hurt the bench of this team. He is really needed right now. Trotting German out there to play th...

Re: MBB Game 15 Delaware, Jan 4 (Sat), 2 PM

Ok, much better game and start, very good to see. Now we have to be fair and admit UD played terrible - that's part of this win. But HU clearly did their part. I even enjoyed the post-game for once - usually useless, but this one finally had something, and it was great to see Speedy, Dubar, and Frit...

Re: MBB Game 15 Delaware, Jan 4 (Sat), 2 PM

Yeah, I give this team zero benefit of any doubt. This does not feel like a good game for them. But perhaps they will actually come out, fired up and ready to play division one level basketball when the ball gets tipped for once. I know most would like to see more German in the game, and I agree som...

Agree with pretty much all the comments here. And agree the CofC dude was a bozo. This game was a pitiful showing, and validated every concern I’ve had - I am extremely disappointed in the staff. I put this squarely on their shoulders. They’ve ignored the warning signs for weeks if not months at thi...

Re: MBB Game 13 @ St. John's (UBS Arena), Dec 30 (Sat), 12 Noon

Eh. I left that game very unimpressed, as I have been just about all OOC. Butler win doesn't change that for me, not like they beat Kansas. I did leave fully impressed with UBS - first time there and really liked it - hope HU plays there each year! This team leaves a lot to be desired. Started slow,...
