Old guy

kwyjibo, it all depends on how well we do in the remaining games, including the A10 tournament. If we can beat VCU and UMass we should go much higher, particularly if we repeat these results in the tournament. I am talking a 2 seed, or even a 1 if we remain unbeaten in the remaining play plus A10 tournament. We might as well enjoy this to its full extent as it is happening.

I will be there tonight, unfortunately I was not in town last Saturday for the GW game and missed it completely, bummer!

I fully agree with this Sulfan 13, I just do not have the experience to know about people like you describe. I may be misplacing my tolerance in this case, accept my apologies please.

ACE there is a difference between trolling and expressing opinion, as you know. The person posting anything non standard must be ready to by made fun of at times by the board, witness the issue with the "mexican ice" that has kept on coming after my posts. I see no reason to get very upset about these. I have read SirBoxington's posts and yes, they do not follow the majority opinion, but I do not think he is trolling. And yes, I do think we have a lot of very thin skinned people here who are not willing to accept other views.

This is sports people, things do happen that are unexpected. I fully believe in living for the day in this arena. We are doing great this year, this is undeniable. I intend to savor this success to the last game we play this year. After all it is the best we have ever done in any season this far and we have every right to savor our results and be thrilled by them. Next year is next year, we will deal with it, well... next year. One really good result of this year's SLU success is likely to be in the area of recruitment. I do hope we start seeing a number of 4 stars choosing us as their team. My final thought is that the number of starts a player has is really like a Harvard diploma, what matters is what you do with it, not having it. I think Crews will be able to capitalize in the good talent that comes into our team. Sort of the opposite of Mizzou's coach with his star studded team which has trouble winning.

Hey MudKat life has ups and downs, now what VCU has to do if to try harder in the remaining games. All the best guy, we need to have as many A10 teams in the big dance as possible. I am pretty sure VCU is still in. No need to despair, that is just not the Jersey way.

The tweets from Roby do not sound good to me

The one thing I really hope for this final round of games (including the tournament) as we try to get as good a seed as possible is that we do not have any injuries that sideline any of our major players.

I hate to state the obvious, but it seems to me that the Bills really need to practice their FT throws and get much better at them than they have been doing lately. This would make winning easier.

Looking at the overall picture for A10, we may have 5 teams in (SLU, UMass, VCU, GW, St. Joe's) and possibly a 6th one if Richmond manages to win the rest of the conference play, or drops VCU but does well in the tournament. This is pretty good I think.

We won, that is what good teams do, win. You can analyze this anyway you wish, what matters is that we won. 18 wins in a row, 24-2.

Respect is too strong a word to be used in friendly discussion. We should beat GM, by how much I do not know. AND, VCU's style of play is very different from our own and interfaces differently with GM's style of play. For them it may have been a walkover, for us it was a tough game the prior time we played.

Checked out the GW - Richmond game tonight. Not concerned about GW any longer. The only two games that will be tough for the remainder of the conference play will be VCU and UMass. We should win the rest. That is my opinion which is not based on statistics, just on watching them play.

Are they inflatable?

Interesting points cgeldmacher, very true observations.

Amazing, is this public transportation on the cheap or what? At least they are not in the midst of a snowstorm and are not likely to get one either.

The highlighted area is a very common technique. People in a position where other people watch them closely, make a lot of bland rosy statements regarding the future. That way they never upset their supporters, and, if by some unfathomable reason the statement becomes true, they can claim credit for having said so. Generally all the other stuff said that never comes true is forgotten. Anyway, that is the general idea.

Back to the question of how did Pav pack 20 people inside a van and drove to a game in a snowstorm. The only way I see this done is if he had a really large van, or if his friends were very little and skinny.

Hey MudKat, retirement is fast becoming a non option everywhere, this is not limited to NJ

Really like Reynolds, I think he will be great for SLU

I am very happy about this, and hope we keep on climbing

Right Wiz, we are winning because we are good, not because we are lucky. You do not win 17 games in a row, including 6 close games, some extremely close, being just lucky.
