VC @ Athens 1/9

[Orestes']

Nobody told me to lock the thread. I did because it was ridicoulous.

Exactly. You should just Delete it. Orestes contributed to it's Ridiculousness with the Gay hashtags.

I have to admit I had you totally wrong Spokane. With your West Coast background and mindset that everyone's entitled to an opinion as long as it's the same as yours I had you pegged for a neo-liberal. But now with your recent gay bashing, I'm not so sure. You certainly are difficult to nail down. By the way, what's the meaning of "daddy ball"? Is it a bad thing? Cause I've always thought of it as a positive, and something that is better to have than not. But I'm sure your opinion is the correct one, so I'm interested.

What you are missing is the location of this team, Athens. A liberal bastion (meaning: place, or person strongly defending or upholding particular principles, attitudes, or activities) of everybody is a winner, everyone plays equally, and everybody gets a trophy. Furthermore, besides a very select few, like Coach Gibby and his wife Pat, Chris Stewart, Troy Bolin, and others; everyone is fair-weather fans. To be honest, that could be because of the Bobcats. However, they don't travel well, most parents are disengaged, their kids come through, they graduate, and they move on, you never see them again. I would not know why anyone would want to coach there?

That is an incredible accurate post.

Those facts I often use during football season, just haven't much regarding the basketball program. But ,,, it is spot on (except maybe the first few sentences ... lol)

Interesting take hawkeye. Never thought of it from that point of view, but it's certainly worth contemplating.

Stop with the "daddy ball" stuff.
We are tired of seeing the posts over and over again.

Like Orange and Brown said, enough with daddy ball already. Oh, and Gay- as in "carefree, happy and showy" as I took your hashtags to be. And I'm not buying that you have always thought of daddy ball as a positive, your previous Posts suggest different. You and Sniper_Fan obviously have hidden agendas and motives, was someone wronged?

Matt combs has went through boatloads of talent and all I can say the talent was never allowed to be bigger than the program. Hence this solid , reload workmanlike mentality in Viking country

Can’t really say that either

Really? Seems like it wasn't shutdown until all those demeaning hashtags were posted. I actually asked a legitimate question on there asking what other Coaches in the area coach their Son. All the other Ridiculous ensued after.

I agree the hashtags were too much but two wrongs don’t make a right

For Athens 99 percent of those who watch realize that 7 or 8 players can be rotated and get equal minutes. Team play means team defense, passing, setting screens and for golly sakes not being happy with losing. This team simply has no individual stars so team play is the only way to win. Certainly nothing wrong saying that. The coaches wanted this job to continue the winning ways Skinner had going so I am sure they can pull this together to forge a huge winning streak starting Friday night. Good chance to have everyone play and contribute and not build a stat sheet. That was a chemistry disaster earlier in the season.

With the schedule, a winning streak is coming, that is a given, but is the TEAM better?

And you're opinion is the only thing that matters, right? I have to say that was a quick left turn for you to make. I still think it's a good thing, but I know, I know, since you disagree I'm wrong, right? And what's so bad about "carefree, happy and showy"? How could you have a problem with that? Oh yeah, "if I don't like it it's wrong."

To be honest, I think "daddy ball" is a compliment. These men who have the fortitude to take on such a challenge that will most certainly bring with it wrath from the haters. So I see it as a good thing, and feel fortunate to know those who have the courage to overcome the negativity and prosper in spite of the hate.

Very well put, and I totally agree. So, "daddy ball", yea count me in.
