First off, I honestly do believe that people on this site put way too much into this program. Why? I'm a huge fan of the program and love college hoops in general, but I would never lose sleep or let it have that much of an impact on the rest of my life. And if you do let this team have that much of an impact on your life, then you really need to check your priorities. There is nothing wrong with being excited for a game or looking forward to a game....we all do it as fans. But after the game is over, why come on here and complain? All this board turns into is one poster trying to prove to another that they have the bigger balls. And most observations that are made by posters are things that my 10yr old son could figure out by watching our team once.
As for the game last night.....we sucked. No other way to say it. Other than Jordan, no one showed up to play. With that being said, last time I checked, the DeLorean has yet to be invented, so nothing the team says or does is going to change anything about last nights game. So they have two options, let this loss dwell on them and let it affect the rest of their season, or forget about it and move on.......I guess time will tell.
Yeah, why would anyone post about the St. Johns BE tournament game on the redman.com site? Because we are all (or mostly all) fans with different levels of frustrations, opinions, needs to vent, share in the misery of defeat ,or exalt in joy of victory. It is a FAN site and I am so tired of posters like you coming on here with the arrogance to feel they can tell other posters what they should think or post, how they should react and how inportant something should be in their lives. I would contend YOU are the one who needs to get a life because why are you wasting your time reading posts you obviously think are a waste of time? And then compounding your waste of time by commenting on them. Agree, disagree, ignore posts, do what you want but stop telling other people how they should feel or express themselves. Or appoint yourself King of the World and see how many people you can get to follow your lead; my guess, very few.
Well said Logen. I think this is twice within a week I am agreeing with you! ;-)
As I'm sure with you, my priorities are in order. Thank God my health is good (although I could lose weight!), I'm happily married (at least from my perspective!), I have two sons who are doing well, I enjoy what I do for a living, etc etc. So yes, I can be emotional about this team, especially being a grad and a season ticket holder.
But I assure you Jumbo, if my life situation changes for the worse in any way, St. John's basketball would not be a high priority, and I would not eat, live and breathe this team.
SO I agree with Logen. Don't come on here and tell me that I need to get my priorities in order if I am way too attached to this team right now.
