MJDinkins, I am embarrassing? I really envy you, how you stay so positive and constantly rip posters who aren't as positive as you amazes me. I want to win as badly as anyone, and it'll be sweeter for me when we do, because I am a realist. I am sorry that I pay my way through graduate school and don't have the time and money to support this team anymore. I didn't even go to St. John's, and my Division 3 Liberal Arts school that started a Division 1 program in one sport after I was already born is a top 10 team in the country after replacing the national coach of the year, yet I root for this team day in and day out and care more about SJU bball than probably any poster on this board, when I have no reason to. What is embarrassing is you and your positive spin on this team that is horrible, with a substitute coach that is horrible. I would never attack Lavin because obviously his health comes first and I am not one of the fans who thinks that is something to joke around with and ridicule him for without knowing any details. However, his dream staff isn't doing it for me. Night in and night out these kids come out and play with no heart, that is embarrassing. I played 2 college sports, so I know what it is like to be a college athlete, probably more so than any of you, and I didn't always play well, or win, but I always left it on the field/ice, and to me these kids quit and besides a few of them have no heart. So keep living in your ivory tower and ridiculing everyone on a board that is expressing their opinions on a website dedicate to St. John's basketball. It is not a site dedicated to being nice to one another and putting a positive spin on everything. But 3 kids failing to qualify, 1 transfer, 1 kid quitting, no 2012 recruits isn't good, and you have to stop sugar coating it. Your lack of sports intelligence is embarrassing.

You played jack; no real player or anyone with "sports intelligence" would post that nonsense.
