SJU vs Pitt Game Thread

[L J S A]

Would it have been awesome for Amir to be a star by now? Sure, but if he's closer to plateauing than improving and the worst we get out of it is a backup PF for the next two seasons, then I'm still happy with him. He may not be happy, but I'm OK as long as Dom keeps improving.

Plus I'm sure that the Reds would love for him to show up at 220+ lbs.

Btw- amir garrett is no impact player. Seems like nice kid, but basketball skills at this level are average at best. He should concentrate on pitching. Play baseball for sju!

Amir signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Reds and can't play collegiate baseball

Sure he has room for improvement but he is a nice role player. I just think he is a great example of the positive side of sports. He certainly does not need to be playing college ball for SJU but I am glad to have him flaws and all.

Really? I feel like I don't get treated unfairly on this board. And i don't know if ive ever mentioned this but I'm 15 years old so enough with that crap

Jack,
Thanks for your posts. There's a reason you don't get trated unfairly because of your age. Except for one poster here, no one cares about your age, just your ability to contribute and enjoy this board as a fan. I think that anyone who watches basketball, and SJU in particular can contri bute something positive here. I really don't care whether someone is older or younger. In fact, the guys older than me here can comment on how good Tony Jackson was, if Alan seiden was as talented as is written about him, what was Kevin Loughery like as a Redmen, etc, etc. I appreciate there insights - would be phenomenal to hear form a poster who knew Looie as a student or even an assistant here. I'd appreciate a current student who know D'Lo or played hs ball with Jakarr and can tell us what they are like off the court. All that matters is loving SJU basketball and coming here to contribute positively. There are enough negative blogs and websites, and actually if you keep it positive you'll make friends here. I have not always been positive, but I've made more friends here than in all my years as a season ticket holder. So, like many, I thank Paul for this site.

So why were you just blasting my entire generation if it doesn't matter? If it didn't matter you wouldn't have made that comment. Unless you have dissociative personality disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder)? Maybe it was an alter ego...I'll let it slide.

read again...he said "most, not all"... anyway, do you ever wonder why almost everyone on here (except possibly the new douche miguel) can't stand you? perhaps it's you, not the other posters. look at yourself... you're a whiney medium shirt wearing idiot. I'm only like 6 or 7 years older then you, so don't label me as one of the grumpy old men....i just know a real toolbag when i see one... i wish Paul would add a block poster feature so i didn't have to see what you write... you are a cancer to this board and i wish you would've stuck to your word when you said you would never post here again.

There is a block user feature. Click on the user's name to get to their profile and the button is on the upper right.

Thanks for the info!!

I'm curious to find out if that feature works. As I mod I can't block people but if it works man it would make this place more readable if people didn't see what certain others said.

Please let me know if in fact it works.

I tried, with no luck.

also this all started with dinkins saying something to me about my post are always negative . i never spoke to him prior to this or wrote him . i told him it was my opinion and if he dont like it to not answer but he stalked e with further messeges. then all of his fraternity brothers soon started to pile on me . please all i said was that we are not making the tourney and we will be in nit. posters disagreed with me and started bashing me saying i whinning but prior to dinkins saying something no one said anything to me he said something and the floodgates opened. ive been a st johns fan for 30 years and yes i get frustrated but ive also seen others say the same thing as i and not get bashed if you dont like the way i say st johns wont make the tourney ask me why i think that ill be happy to tell you but i refuse to be told what i should feel about my team they blew a golden opp with horrid play yesterday and i still believe this is not a tourny team . also i dont see nothing wrong with making the nit its better then nothing in my opinion and i also happen to think we will gain from going thank you and bless all my fellow fans

Dude, you just posted five consecutive messages that have NOTHING to do with the Pitt game. It's messing up the entire board for everyone. If you want to have a war with Dinkins, send him private messages.

Hey, fella! Let sleeping dogs lie. But since you wanna run your mouth for no apparent reason.... I wasn't the first person to respond to your post. I ended up responding when you continued to type in all CAPS. Then, I made response to you because you decided to call someone a "moron," if they thought the game was close under 5 minutes. Stalked you? Get serious!

I'm not a pied-piper. I do not have any power to make other posters dance to what I say. People could clearly see what you were doing. Frankly, it's the same mess you're now spewing. You're attempting to antagonize (re: your response to Beast of the East). You're also spamming the board.

Good point, Beast. If you have a problem with me, then deal with me per PM or in person. It's that simple.

hold up did you really just say or in person lol okay tough guy. you really think its that big of a issue i dont but if you want the beats hey

Miguel it is ok you have your opinion that we are NIT but you started saying that before the Louisville game started and you wont stop repeating it since then. Your opinion is fine I have no problem with you having an opinion like that but when we are all hopeful this team can make it to the tournament you saying we are NIT literally every other post starts to get old fast. I like that you said you will be happy to eat your words if your wrong because one post after PITT game I think you posted "NIT BABY". It just seemed like you were happy that we were going to the nit. But its not my place to question your fanhood as you said you have supported this team for a long time and want the same thing as everybody else. But to Joe3 and you with the doghouse comment, I think that is unfair to others on this board. I'll speak to it from my standpoint, Joes point is that he is posting things off of emotion and he is just being a realist. He says that people that just wanna see the bright side are not agreeing with what he is saying and dismissing him as annoying. Well I can not speak for others on this board, but for me it is not disagreement that annoys me, it is repetitive ness. I went to the PITT game, and on the train home I took out my phone to go on this site, and as I did I remember thinking, "Joe is probably angrily posting enraged thoughts right now". I just knew that it was coming from you because literally every game it is the same routine. Well every loss I should say. Joe, you are probably right when you say these things, although I refuse to believe it because I am just a young kid with all this optimism that never goes away until the season actually ends. Your rants are right sometimes, but from my point of view, it annoys me because I am just tired of seeing them so much. My suggestion, just cut down on posting, iust dont post everything that comes into your mind, maybe just a few of your thoughts and call it a night. That should cut down on people dismissing your posts as annoying or stupid, and overall help with the amount of respect you would receive on boards.

thanks kid hope im wrong but i just dont see a tourney team. but kool thanks for dealing with me in the right way ill try to tone it down some but i have dinkins on here saying if i have a issue with him to meet hi in person that the stuff i wont stand for allthough im mature enough not to bring internet thugging into it you have a blessed day and go st johns ill be rooting to be wrong

You go out of your way to call me out, along with spamming the board, and then try to make it like you're the victim. Get real! I'm not the only poster who felt you were (and are) being a pest. The issue had died down until you brought up some stuff today that happened yesterday. Just stop being a clown.

The next time you seriously talk about basketball will be the first time.

Look at the bright side. At first I thought you were former poster Realfan but after paying closer attention to your writing style I don't think so

You have the issue with me by going out of your way to call me out earlier. I'll respond to you, if I choose to do so. LOL Please do take me up on it.

NIT means nothing. It's an embarrassment if anything. This is a team with great recruits, and a great coach in the basketball mecca of the world on the biggest stage. We deserve MUCH better. This program has been terrible for too long. Just when you think things are due to change finally, they revert to how things have been. All the top level NYC talent leaves us in the dust (except Harkless) for teams like Pitt, UConn, Cuse, Cincy, etc. Just another team that flirts with you then rips your heart out. Unless Sanchez somehow gets cleared for next year, Harrison improves DRAMATICALLY, and Hooper is the real deal, then I'm not even confident we make the tourney next year either.

Woodall had a great game because he is a Senior and he plays under control. Just like Dwight Hardy did. D'Angelo has a lot to learn about playing that kind of way. Unfortunately for us, he is not a leader on the court. Maybe he grows up to be one.

This might be nit-picking, but Woodall is actually a 5th year senior.

Was saying the same thing Sunday at the game. A vast majority of the good teams this season have 4 or 5 yr players, the experience makes a huge difference.
