Maybe that will come on your 25 th reunion.

Cool troll job.
Regarding your statement I bolded above, I'm pretty sure Chris Mack doesn't decide who goes out for the press conference. It's someone else in the athletic department.Quote:

I'm sure there was plenty of blame to go around. Can we not talk about that ugly bruise on our program's history?Quote:

It was designed to be "provactive and generate replys." Someone sees it as a home run. If you want to know who, look for the red dots.Quote:

I quote from a recent Article:
" We serve as Advisors to hundreds of Sports Blogs. Many of our Clients seek advertisers and ask us to do a survey of Blog Participants. We find that the majority of Participants are white , middle aged men who did not participate in competitive athletics.Their personal lives and careers have crashed. They frequently visit the Blog, often during their work day.
The Blog allows them to be authortive at a time they lack authority. The Blog allows them to say all of the things they would like to say at work or home and can't. In sum , the Blog serves as therapeutic tool for men struggling to find an identity that has been emasculated. The glue that holds the Blogs together are the Trolls. The Trolls are the men who have gotten to the top, often stepping on the Losers in the process. The Trolls recognize the Losers need an outlet and deliver to them huge chunks of red meat that the Losers can chew on. Every day, the Trolls de pressurize the Losers , forestalling them saying stupid shit to their bosses and families.The Trolls provide this service to assuage the guilt they feel for having kicked the hapless Losers asses on the way to the Top. While the Losers should thank the Trolls , they are unfortunately so focused on venting that they fail to see the Trolls' reaching down to help."
Now that I have provided an objective third party view, hopefully, XU 82, and others similarly situated, will come forward to say Thanks.
LOOK! I see red dots! (And I didn't do it, that was from others.) I actually will give credit because that was honestly funny. Wrong on virtually everything but middle age white male, but still amusing. And a troll is still a troll.
I find it amusing that someone who has been on here 2 months is lecturing people who have been here for years on what a troll is.
Anyway, when it comes to Tu, you have absolutely no ability to gauge context. Like others said, what he said was ill-advised but considering the circumstances it was nowhere near as egregious as the national media (and a local sportswriter how the week earlier bemoaned the lack of emotion in the game) made it out to seem. And to think that one press conference defined his career makes me think you may not really have followed Xavier very closely when Tu was here.
Chico...I understand you wanting to protect Tu's legacy, such as it might be.Quote:

Unfortunately, it does.
Tu will never be a candidate for Xavier's' Hall of Fame.
Just as Nixon's presidency will be defined by Watergate, and Trumps demise will be defined by his accommodation to the Russians who invested Billions in his otherwise failed real estate projects, Tus will be defined by his ill advised comments.
Some posters have pinned the blame on Tom Eiser, a decent man, who allegedly put Tu before the cameras at the wrong time.
They may be right. I don't know who pulled the trigger.
All I know is, they put him in a bad spot and spoiled his opportunities to be respected by those who eschew thuggish behavior.
This is a very strange thread.
I'll remember Tu for the wonderful leadership he provided and the great times I had watching him help my team.
You can remember him for a few words of street parlance that somehow offended your sensibilities.
I feel sorry for you.
yes thisQuote:

It just did for those that decide what is to be remebered and what is to be forgotten.
I don't decide that, so don't shoot the messenger.
Just take it to the Bank.
God bless our mods! Truly.
It may have defined his career for you. It did not for every rational human being.Quote:

I've tried to track how in the world this thread became a Tu Holloway bloodbath. I can't seem to put my finger on it. The thread can stay open (for now), but let's keep the personal attacks to a minimum. All of us are entitled to our opinions, as misguided as they are.
I think that was the theme of this year's Presidential primaries.Quote:

Or at least, I took it that way.
Now that you get it, we need to figure out how to get the Losers to get it.
I can borrow a Luxury Box at the Cintas Center for the Marquette game.
You fly in from Atlanta and join me
It is going to be a seminal event.
It will be the First Time a Team that was picked to finish at the top of the Big East, will play in wheelchairs.
I mean, what is going on?
Do we recruit the most accident prone players in the country?
Are we going to finish the Season with Stainbrook at the point for 40 minutes?
We need to project and visualize what our team will look like when we finish the conference tournament.
I say that because the Losers are going to be more lost, if that is possible.
We need to get out ahead of it and soften the blow.
I look forward to meeting you.
We get it. You're right and everyone else is wrong.Quote:

They used terms middle aged white men took out of context rather than realizing thats simply verbiage younger african americans use. To take it even further, Mark Lyons was 100% right when he said the media contributes gasoline to the fire. Get out of here with your holier than thou BS.
Tu will be in the hall. Retired number? I don't see that happening.
