Bluto's speech from "Animal House"
Hey! What's all this laying around stuff? Why are you all still laying around here for?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron? We're all expelled. There's nothing to fight for anymore.
D-Day: [to Bluto] Let it go. War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[Bluto runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: [stands up] Yeah, I agree. Let's go get 'em.
Boon: Let's do it.
Bluto: [shouting] "Let's do it"!

Bobre will tell anyone who will listen that it is a typo and that it is actually the 2012 mock draft.
Perception is reality, very few, if any, are "pure" anything. Joe Paterno did more good for more people than you could count but what is he going to be remembered for? As I said in another post, most know Maven only through his screen persona and that did not convey a very nice guy.

We are still waiting for your link to the 2012 draft that projects Moe as the 8th pick. While you are at it, please ask him where Nurideen Lindsey is projected in the draft. Didn't you worry we would lose him to the NBA instead of Rider?
I think most of us do believe he's a top 64 player this year and becomes a lottery pick next year. The funny thing is you didn't catch on.
[/quote] I can't think of anyone who went from projected " somewhere in the top 64" to the lottery in one year. Your statement is ridiculous. I've been told by people in a position to know that at a minimum he goes mid to late first round this year if he opts to go. I'm sticking with that and hoping he stays put for a year. I doubt he really knows yet and the quote I heard was that much depends on the supporting cast Lavin brings in. If he keeps starting at the 4/5 I think we have problems.

How is my statment ridiculous? You must have me confused with you. There is possibly a chance he could go late first round this year. It still places him amongst the top 64, right?
Regardless, he won't be a lottery pick this season, whereas he'll probably be one next season. I'm sure he's probably awaiting the next class. I feel there is some unfinished business with this bunch. Bring in a solid class and then I believe things will take off.
Everything I've read this year has him going late first to early second but lottery this year seems to be out of the question. One thing Bob might not remember is guys who were sure lottery picks last year like Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, Terrence Jones (bad decision, exposed flaws) and Jared Sullinger plus more than a few mid first picks chose to stay in school because of the labor situation in the NBA. Since there were no assurances that there would be a season they chose to wait it out a year and that's pushed everyone down a bunch of slots and made for a very deep draft this year.
BEB was a good site but,deteriorated over the last few years. Regretable.
I've been here on this site frequently and enjoy the forum very much.. I am looking forward to participating here and getting the input from the many super SJU FANS already enrolled on this site. There are many friends here as I've seen.
I'm glad too that the term REDMEN is so prominent as it's historical heritage is something we should not lose.

Bob remembers all that stuff but so do the guys I've quoted. I'm not making this up but there are no sure things with the draft or the players considering entering it. Like I've said Moe reputedly isn't thrilled about his lack of front line support and Lavin's recruiting results would likely influence his decision. Just have to wait and see. I think everyone knows he'll play in the league. It's just a matter of when. I also think that being forced to play big will eventually improve Moe's stock going forward.

I've never had a problem with anyone on any of the St. John's boards, or, really on any of the boards I happen to post on, but some of you take the Interwebbzz a little too seriously.
When I first posted on a board, filled with people I knew in real life actually, I didn't quite get the dynamics and took an innocent "joking around" post a little too seriously and told everyone to go eff themselves. Someone on the board PMed me and was like, "jeez man, just a joke, don't leave because of a stupid joke." That someone was the same person who hurled the "insult" at me, and then I looked back and realized how ridiculous it was I got pissy about it in the 1st place.
Since then, I've learned three things about message board behavior. 1) Don't take it too seriously. 2) A troll is to be ignored, not reeled in. They are only seeking attention. 3) The delete button can be your friend. You don't always have to hit "submit."
And honestly, I don't agree with 90 percent of the stuff Bobre posts, but he's definitely a fan pf the program, and not even a bad poster, at least in my eyes. I see much worse on other boards. He does stick to his guns, lol, and for that, at least, I give him credit.
I never joined BEB, but I lurked, big time, especially when I couldn't jump aboard here. It was very comical if you ask me. It's kind of sad they are closing down, but at this point, I don't even think to lurk there anymore.
