Nice win by Mark Schmidt's crew.

Just another A-10 vs Big Least victory.......:rolleyes:

Masterofreality - thanks for the recognition. Although, the thread title is unfortunate. I'd expect something like that from your Dayton friends.

I agree. The administration that ran that corrupt basketball program is completely gone. The program is now coached by an XU coaching alum. I think we can give them the respect of running a clean program, even if they've yet to prove that they can run a program that meets the success bar we want from A-10 teams.

I know. But it's not like it didn't happen. Admit it and move on.

But really, just jabbing. I still have a tough time with Bona abjectly quitting on the season that year, but it's over, those people are gone, and a guy who was trained at XU is at the helm. We need this league to get better top to bottom. I want Bona to Commit, invest, and execute. Period.

Nice win.

Going to the St. Johns game at Rose Hill Saturday night, can't beleive SJU signed up to play there but I bet the atmosphere will be more fun than their game against Duke at the Garden which will be a blowout

Hey Master - I have moved on, but with little reminders like yours, unfortunately it keeps coming back. Don't take me too seriously, while each of those little jabs stings, I get it.

Believe it or not, I believe Bonas is committing. They are not investing to the level of some of the others in the conference. Budgets are a constraint, but, having said that, it is not as out of whack as some suggest. Things just don't cost as much in Olean as they do in Philly, NYC, DC, or other A-10 locales. Plus, the Reilly Center, opened in 1966, is paid for, and it is likely that very little RC cost makes it into the reported basketball related expenses that people love to scrutinize (which, by the way, are likely wildly inconsistent in what is included and what is not).

You're an idiot. Can I call people idiots as long as they are not Xavier fans? I feel like this is an appropriate time to bust out the phrase 'you're an idiot' at least.

They are not investing to the level of some = get the hell out of our conference, now.

Budgets are a constraint = we have not won anything so we have no revenue from ticket sales or big games

Things don't cost as much in Olean = see idiot phrase above

No really, please leave the conference. If that is the attitude of the entire fan base you guys will always be just as pathetic as you are now.

OK CinciX12,

Nice chatting with you.

Well that was just great.

I don't know a damn thing about your program, but I do know that response was way over the top, not representative of the other posters here. Guess someone's having a bad day.

I assume you are talking about CinciX12 and not Bona 84 who is a pretty damn reasonable guy --- much more so than Cinci!

[bobbiemcgee]

yes. I was responding to his post.

[American X]

CinciX12 will be taking a short break.

Bona84 - you are always welcome here.

As for Bonaventure winning that game, it was a waste of fine beer that I spit out when seeing the score.

[Snipe]

I would add my support for Bona84.

Brown Indians!

since you've left the A-10 board, I thought I'd come over and have a keg or two with you...Hope all is well Snipe!

[American X]

Well, welcome. New guy buys.

Geez - Snipe has "people' now - he'll be unbearable. haha.

I'll bring the third keg. Let me know where to meet you all.

All is well my friend. Welcome to Xavier Hoops.

Are you trying to insinuate that I am not already unbearable? That is one of the nicest things you have ever said to me Brother Bobbie.

[Mangham]

well, I heard some sh*t was going on over here about our win against the Johnnies and I knew I had an ally...errr...drinking buddy...you are missed big guy!

Sorry to break up the party, but it would be of interest here to learn what the upstate NYers think of Coach Schmidt & long term future.

[SM#24]

here's what Jerry Palm thinks of the near future for Coach Schmidt

Based on what? Beating St. Johns?

I guess losing to crappy Canisius and being boatraced at Cleveland State outweighs Xavier's wins against Iowa, Seton Hall and Butler?

Jerry Palm putting anything out right now is ludicrous. I remember how in December a couple of years ago udump was a lock........and ultimately locked up an NIT bid.
