[quote="guinness77" post=306363]1) How many points to we need to win by to keep everyone here happy?
2) How “close” does the lead have to drop down to in the 2nd half before people start wetting themselves and complain about games we don’t play in for a month?[/quote]
1. 20+
2. no less than 15
Also see nothing wrong with 72's post and totally civil. Response was aggressive needlessly.
ESPN's BPI give us a 98.2% chance of victory, which I believes beats lasts week's game by .2% for the biggest percentage I've ever seen on there (of course, I only started knowing of this thing last year). That only applies to SJU games, BTW.
[quote="Chris7" post=306257]Can someone explain the 6:30 PM starts to me? I get it, if it's Fox Sports 1, not complaining. But a 6:30 start for non-HD FS2? Cmon now![/quote]
What systems don't carry FS2 in HD? That sucks for you.
This has to be directly from Cragg doesn't it. Either way it should a good move.[/quote]
Unfortunately room 112 I and many other posters agree with you that this is a result of an initiative by the new AD Wish it was not the case but at least Cragg is pushing or forcing Coach to leave his comfort zone and is showing that he is the boss.
Cragg is taking but a short time to leave his imprint at SJU. 2 weeks ago he extended Coach Joey Ts contract which I believe was a good move as he has taken the team to a post season tourney each of his 6 years at SJU and works super hard.
I guess we all wish Coach Mullin had a personality like Jay Wright who drives around campus and stops to talk and mingle with students, as I believe Beast brought to our attention.
While that never will be the case hopefully the new AD can encourage / force Mullin and Mitch to be more present on campus and at events. I am sure it would go a long way in increasing good will.

Totally agree. From what I've seen, Cragg has already made alot of positive change and am confident this will continue.

Trimble just hit about 7 - 3 pointers in a row from deep
Would be nice if this gradually translates into game time![/quote]
Good to hear General. I’ve been saying that I think Trimble comes around. He played quality minutes for us last season especially in our two biggest wins. I think once Keita gets back and he’s back to playing the role that was carved out for him he will be an asset. Enjoy the game!
I hate to complain so early in the game but why do we always come out so lazy on defense? Instead of coming out and looking to make a statement on defense we come out like we don’t give shit.

1. Trick question. Most on here are perpetually unhappy so no chance to make them happy. If we win by 100 they will come up with something. Next year's recruiting. Mullin's socks. Roberts and Williams PT.
2.Complaints will come when Mount ST Mary's scores a point.
ST John's 82
Mount ST Mary's 70
I think Darth Vader said it best:
"People will complain Ray. They'll come to the ST John's forum for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll post complaints not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at the sight as innocent as children, longing for the past when we would lose in 2nd round of NCAA every year. Oh people will definitely complain Ray."[/quote]
This is post of the year stuff right here. Haha, well done.
