Subject: Re: Damn It Can't I Retire In Peace ? Basketball Rules At NU ! Author: ForeverPurps86 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sunday, November 17, 09:54:50pm Author Host/IP: c-67-172-47-74.hsd1.nh.comcast.net/67.172.47.74 In reply to: NUSuperfan 's message, "Damn It Can't I Retire In Peace ? Basketball Rules At NU !" on Sunday, November 17, 08:20:37pm Rather be in Gallagher Center watching Houghton and LIU? Wow! I get it though, I’m sure watching ‘Bona come in last year and beating us by 34 was a real treat for you. And MAAC Basketball!? At least Fairfield and Quinnipiac have their shit together and actually invest in athletics, but watching NU and the rest of the poverty stricken schools compete in the MAAC is certainly, “mission driven”, so I get your adoration. You are far from sane in calling the AHA Divison 10 when we play basketball in a high school gymnasium. And why is Niagara Basketball the leading sport? What evidence do you have to suggest that it should be? What’s the plan for BB success? Pay your coach a fortune, rebuild a roster every year? Then what? You’re not getting a new gym or facility, so what’s the plan? Pray? How can you possibly sit there and say Basketball is any further from Division II than Hockey? If they actually got the investment from the University, Hockey would be much further along. You and your friend can quote your Frank Layden history and your stories of Calvin Murphy all you want, but Niagara Basketball is only as alive as the old Italian men and priests who drag themselves into the games and can’t find it in themselves to talk about anything less than Frank, Hubie, or Joe. Try getting outside of Niagara Falls some time. There’s a whole world out there. Maybe even take a drive out to Olean and take some notes.

Author: Purp 1 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, November 17, 11:54:54pm Author Host/IP: syn-074-070-140-050.res.spectrum.com/74.70.140.50 Well the guy talks like it just needs a few things like it's a startup, but the team has been in existence and it's brand new state of the art Dwyer Arena joins it at closing in on 30 years. The program has had almost three decades to attract a fan base and establish itself and in truth it has, but not to the fans locally....and say what you want about basketball there are probably 4X the attendance than for hockey and part of that is playing local schools who also want to experience playing a Division I program. There's no law against it. Well you said "build it and they will come", so they built it and waited 28 years and nobody is coming and that building has it's own business plan unlike the GC and their season ticket base is measly so they have to depend on rentals and donations from people like yourself who give nothing but squawk plenty. Nobody here cares about college hockey. They care about the Sabres and their kids travel teams. Just because you don't care for the school's basketball program, don't besmirch those who enjoy and remember it fondly. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
