Have a good day. Great post!

It is, providing some reality into your world. I'll also say while at said school which is a mid major in C-USA that the arena is better than ours already. Can't wait for our renovation as our facilities shouldn't even be close to the same.
 
When I use those words the first time, you can thank me. Until then, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't lie about what I have said. Better yet, give everyone the post # where I used those words, so that we can see if you are truthful or are engaging in a personal attack.

Personal attack? Please explain. Not one personal attack sir. You saying that you only hang with season ticket holders and boosters so that makes you know what the real fans wants is just ignorant...and arrogant. I'm not sure if you're trying to impress people or what but claiming "the real fans" want cronin gone is essentially saying that those who don't are not real fans. You're in no position to label anyone. Do i want cronin gone? nope. And not cuz I'm a Cronin-Homer as some like to call it, but because it would set the program back years. Unless, you can bring in a proven coach from a major program it's not happening. I was born, raised, and still live 10 minutes from the XL center yet I will die a cincinnati fan. I choose to support this team and program, so i will also choose to defend it when people spread nothing but negativity.
 
This was truly the season of what might have been. 6 games we lost we had the lead in the final 45 seconds. Hopefully next year will execute better and catch a break or two. I felt we were so close to a very good season. Probably why the off season will feel like a eternity.

The picture below your name says it all. I'm still waiting for the post number where I called anyone a bunch of pion, meaningless, fans who are oblivious. You said it. Now pony up.

In case you missed it, i was referring to chest puffing of how you only rub elbows with boosters and serious fans, and serious fans want cronin gone. Then you call this place cronin-talk which would basically label everyone as cronin supporters who are in your mind not serious fans. I didn't realize you would be so upset over the connections, my bad. I guess i just find it odd that you waste your time typing to a bunch of non-boosters. And nice reach with my avatar picture...lol. Guess i just chose someone who is still involved in our program. What a stretch i know. Make Jacob Evans avatar and I'll be all over it

Well, you conveniently left out why the comment was made. NTS had just accused the casual UC fan of being the dumbest on the planet.....as if it is only the casual fans who want him gone. My point was that I am around season ticket holders, alums, boosters, etc, so it's a lot more than the casual fans who say this. What you extrapolated my comments into was absolutely ridiculous and just an attempt to inflame and attack.
 
Every year there are teams that underachieve due to any number of reasons, as U C did but I have been a fan since Ard- Ogletree- Roberson etc. and I don't know if I was ever more impressed with a group of players as I have been with this group.Competitive-hardworking-successful-wellspoken -humble- great representative students of this college and you better believe that is do to the head coach. Thank you coach Cronin and team' can't wait for next year.

Ok L-t...everything you say is an attempt to inflame. If you wanna play the victim that's all you. I'd rather discuss something, or anything else. How's your bracket doing?

Very well said. I was at the fieldhouse watching every game that Ard, Roberson, Ogletree, Gordie Smith, etc played in. Coach Cronin has done some good things. He just has not returned us to prominence, and recruiting is the issue.
 
Blame the game on Hicks

On a podcast Chad had with Eric Hicks recently. Hicks said when he has worked with Ellis this year, he pleaded to Ellis to dunk the ball more. Hicks said he is too tall and talented not to dunk everything around the rim. Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to start just because it's March.

Way too go Eric! just joking!

Didn't fill out a single bracket this year. First time ever. Lots of stuff going on. Got sidetracked by real life stuff.

I like your perspective. I was almost certain Ellis was going to do something foolish to get him bounced from the team and he actually was quite impressive on a personal level. People wanna call him dumb, low iq, or whatever but when its all said and done these kids have plenty of things to worry about other than dunking a ball .1 seconds too late. I think it's actually a nice job on the coaches part by bringing him back and helping him become a better man. Thats an important part of what they are supposed to do, which often gets overlooked.

Recruiting. Recruiting. Recruiting. The classes as a whole have been underwhelming more often then not.

If we ever get into a P5 then MAYBE we can re-evaluate Cronin or at the very least the staff and recruiting budget.
 
We saw 7 years of his recruiting in the greatest basketball conference of all time. Why do we need to see more? Check out his last 3 classes in that conference. Pretty bad.

Coach does very well with what he has to offer. Small budget,outdated facilities and not in p-5 conference coupled with most of our resources going to football recently has hindered his progress. Taking everything into consideration he has outperformed his support. I think the administration knows this. Looking forward to the next two years with p-5 entry a possibility and new facilities. Plus he has a very nice roster to work with the next two years.
