Subject: Give 'em all something to be proud about Author: NUSuperfan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, March 01, 06:51:03pm Author Host/IP: NoHost/172.56.73.177 In reply to: Hnk373431 's message, "Student support" on Saturday, March 01, 02:14:55pm When it's status quo losing year in and year out, there's nothing to be excited for or to be proud about. Niagara needs a shot of enthusiasm and something to shout about. When Niagara has gone to the NCAA tournament, you noticed an entirely different vibe about it. Unfortunately, you can't have decades between such events or the school environment turns stagnant. What you have now is that stagnant , hopeless, and void environment. It's one thing if such an environment happens by accident, it's quite another thing when your school perpetuates and fosters it through an uncaring attitude.

This period in NU basketball history feels so much different than others during NU's history. It's like your in an endless tunnel of obscurity. Niagara has always had its share of losing seasons and droughts, but I have never felt so awful about the state of Purple Eagle basketball as I do today. I guess the difference is that I don't see any way out of it given the atmosphere and conditions of the present situation. It just seems like an endless conveyor system of nothingness. I do not believe any ordinary coach and staff can win under the current scheme of things. It would take a big name coach who could attract very good players to enroll and transfer to Niagara and that ain't happening for obvious reasons. either Paulus is going to get very lucky in the portal and give us a good season here and there, or he is just gonna eventually fade away to another position somewhere else as an assistant coach with the help of Coach K. I don't see a happy ending to Niagara basketball. I see it either dropping to D-2 or D-3, or eventually, ending the sport for good. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
