Subject: Purp 1 Author: NUSuperfan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, December 08, 12:17:09pm Author Host/IP: syn-107-145-011-181.res.spectrum.com/107.145.11.181 Joe, I have decided to come back. Not because I have changed my mind per se but because I saw this forum dying on the vine; and I have too much respect and fondness for Tom and yourself to let that happen. I still have a lot of piss and vinegar left in me and I want to help stir things up on this board to keep it going. So Joey keep the ball going and row the fuckin' boat along with me and Tom, OK ?

You're going to be a big help!

[> [> Subject: Tom Author: NUSuperfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, December 08, 09:23:27pm Author Host/IP: NoHost/172.56.78.210 I'm happy to be back. I consider you a friend, and your commitment to your University is beyond admirable. Every school should have such a loyal alum. Believe me there are a lot of fair weather fans and alums out there. You're one in a million, Tom.

I criticize the coaches and players at will and shamelessly quit on basketball games I'm watching by clicking off in disgust. Loyal alum? I don't think so, but thanks for the gesture.

He said it was so screwed up what the NCAA has done. However the cap for schools who opt-in is just over $20M per year so if NU is able to work within those guidelines we should be alright.

Author: Purp 1 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, December 08, 10:14:15pm Author Host/IP: syn-074-070-140-050.res.spectrum.com/74.70.140.50 For the record, we started to die when the school president brought in his own coach folowwed by one guy who never made it to campus and then his assistant. The Vincentians never cared about athletics at Niagara and the Unions featuring guys like Dean Edgette made sure the school never paid any decent salaries for coaches so his members could take the large piece of chicken...for years and years. We're DEAD on the vine my friends. Dying is no longer an option.

Whose the masochist me or Tom ? And I'm watching this without any beer; so I must be nuts to indure the Sabres while sober.

[> Subject: The G League Author: NUSuperfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, December 08, 11:09:26pm Author Host/IP: NoHost/172.56.79.182 Ain't that a bitch, allowing the NBA G League kids return back to NCAA ball. I'll tell you this whole situation is one big cluster fuck. This whole thing really has Coach Izzo pissed off. He hates the NIL, the portal and the G League fiasco beyond words. And I totally agree with him. For me , a fully scholly is enough.Shit it includes free tuition, free room and broads, all the eats you want, free books. What more can a kid want ? It was enough for me.
