Subject: This season sucks

The entire season was wrapped up in last night's game. Much improved play from the guards and a total disappearance by the frontcourt. When your opponent's top scorer and one of its starting frontcourt players are not playing, then your team should win the game. And I do not care where it is played. And, when you have the two biggest players on the court, you should not get outrebounded by 16 and give up 17 offensive rebounds -- if those big guys can really PLAY that is. I don't care if Lappas has them plaing the TET Offense(ive), big players with strong skills will not get decimated on the boards the way Micah and Kit did last night. Add in the Eric head butt and last night was a microcosm of the season.

I know a lot of people say it is playing the blame game when one singles out the poor play of a player or players or bad coaching moves. I, however, like to think that when someone does that, they are actually dissecting the game. If you want to critique the play or the coaching, you should be able to. I am not saying that one should post this guys sucks, etc. but actual comments on the playing and coaching.

That is why I am sick of Mike's board and likely will not post there anymore. If you are not a cheerleader you get the crap beaten out of you. If you dare to actually post stats that may prove something, you get the crap beaten out of you. If you dare to predict that the team will go 1-3 in the last four regular season games and then win one conference tourney game to finish 12-17, you get the crap beaten out of you. If you dare to predict a UMass loss in one of Captain Coast Guard's threads, you get the crap beaten out of you. If you make a joke about Micha and Kit and upfakes, you get the crap beaten out of you. If you dare to assert that the talent is just average on this team and that it was huge to lose a 2,000 point scorer, you get the crap beaten out of you.

Then there is that true BruCru that pretends they like Lappas and support the team, but in reality cannot wait to pounce on Lappas and his recruits. Everything this year is Lappas's fault -- from Pugh not developing to Willie being inconsistent to Blizzard being Blizzard, etc. etc. etc.

I am sick of this whole thing.

And where is TheRick? Shouldn't he be supporting all of the new Lappas recruits given that none of them are white? I thought that was his main criteria on which to rate recruits.

Hypocritical sons of bitches.

I am sick of this whole thing. End the season today!!!

There is pain, and then there is pain. Some pain is so intense as to be exquisite--and that is what it's like to watch the Minutemen now.

I don't want to talk about the division among people who supposedly once liked each other. It's bad enough having to know that those people exist at all.

The only good thing I can say is that I've met you, hung out with you, and I genuinely like you and I know that you're a freaking lunatic who always posts without conscience.

v-dawg, please don't take Mel seriously. He'll be okay after the doctor refills that lithium prescription.

But hey, how 'bout that women's hockey, eh?

Joe has a post over at Mkie's basically saying that it is unlikely that Anderson will be in a UMass uniform last year. You can see it for yourself -- think it is in the next year's lineup thread. Now, maybe Joe will get his ass handed to him for posting that, but my guess is he won't. Now if I had posted the same thing, you damn well know that the holier-than-thou'ers (you know, the superfans over at Mike's who put the team before anything else -- sure, right)would be down my throat faster than a 12 ounce Sam Adams.

And you know what. I really don't give a shit about what anyone here thinks about what I post. So as my old pal wiggum used to say -- "eat that"!

[> [> [> I saw that too Mel but apparently, according to Manny, there are those at the school that don't think AA will be able to keep his grades up enough to come back next year. Apparently he has issues finding his class rooms on time....or some times even at all. -- Kosty, was enlightened by the Portugee, 13:57:05 02/20/02 Wed

Face it, Mel, you and I have acted like irrational looney men for so long that we've exhausted all our political capital. Now it's time to just set our hair on fire. -- Are you Norbert the Dwarf?
