you just don't know. I mean, all teams have injuries and for us it was only 1 person at the time. I would argue it was more critical that harrow has been out, but that's just my take. 2/3/2011 12:32:04 PM |

^Exactly. Virginia Tech lost 4 for the season. Two starters in JT Thompson and Dorenzo Hudson. Don't see them crying about it.

i would argue that its not having a coach for 5 years that has been most critical to our lack of success.
love the guy, awful coach. absolutely awful coach. 2/3/2011 12:33:56 PM |

I'll bite and be nice...
Do you seriously not think that Tracy being out has had an effect on our season? First, we haven't beaten anyone worth a shit all year and its starting to become a confidence issue IMO. Lets say we sneak out a win with Tracy at SU or GT...we probably play a fuckton better at home against AZ...we had no freaking answer inside, and a healthy tracy smith would have probably gotten our FG% above 0 or whatever it was that game. We shoot like shit and still didn't get run out of the gym.
So lets say he plays like he did last year...not too much of a stretch if he's not hurt (he's still not the same and he's getting worse every game with his knee). We win one of the GT or 'Cuse games plus AZ, thats 2 wins against quality competition and some confidence going into ACC play. Nobody is calling for the coaches head sitting at 12-2, and we are probably gonna play with a lot more confidence and a true go to guy who can break the droughts in a HEALTHY Tracy smith.
Maybe I'm retarded, but thats had an effect. We've had a chance to win most games with Tracy playing like dog shit and the rest of the team playing with no confidence that they can do it. Tracy is significantly worse on both ends of the floor than he was a year ago, and its killing us. Its not too much of a stretch.
That said, we're heading for a coaching change and I'm fine with that. I still want people to quit being dumbasses about it and actually pay attention to whats going on. Us sucking and not living up to expectations isn't black and white...all on the coach, all on Tracy/CJ/etc... so people need to quit acting like it is. I just want to finish the season and not make a mockery of the situation when we let Lowe go.

A healthy Tracy makes this a much better team all season. That's not an excuse or a reason to alter your decision on Sid, it's just reality. 2/3/2011 4:20:26 PM |

I stopped reading here. No offense dude but we can't beat Clemson/Virginia Tech with him and you think we would beat either Georgetown or Syracuse? We couldn't beat Syracuse and Scoop was giving us points. 2/3/2011 5:47:41 PM |

I wonder if Lowe's tried to help pump up the team with some eminem hip hop?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO2wA0Te0wM
This would probably help motivate our players and we probably would get all the rebounds.
I bet Scott Wood already listens to this before all the games.

How fucking stupid are you? Did you not read the caveat that I'm assuming he would have played as well as last year IF HE HAD NO INJURY EVER????...not 10 fucking times worse on both ends of the floor due to the weight gain, lack of practice, and most importantly, conditioning. Then the confidence boost that goes along with knowing we can get it done for the young guys. Its not a fucking stretch.
I don't even know why I waste my time. I'm going to believe that most people are in the same boat as me, who agree we need a coaching change but are willing to let it play out and keep their god damn mouth shut.

Your problem is you're probably too passionate a fan
What you're bad at is being overly critical of our team when your online criticism changes nothing
What would change something would be not renewing your season tickets to show them you mean business
Honestly though its probably all about what the big wig donors donate or don't donate that dictate change
You're not a bad fan, you just complain too much about shit that we don't have any control over 2/3/2011 11:05:02 PM |

I don't even know what the fuck this means. I've said repeatedly that I'm upset with the product on the floor, and said it for 5 seasons now. I never once said that Lowe didn't deserve to be replaced after this season if it got to this point. I've "blindly" (whatever the fuck that means) said that I'm going to reserve judgement until this season when we started with more to work with than we've had in since Sendek's last season (and don't give me this Costner Fells McCauley bullshit, we still didn't have depth even if I admit they weren't the problem).
I guess I just don't get whats so unreasonable about that. I will...however....call people out for saying stupid shit. Saying this season would be exactly the same if Tracy had been 100% all year is just retarded, ignorant, stupid...whatever. I didn't even start this shit about the coach.2/3/2011 11:31:13 PM |

I think it's silly not to be showing up to games now. That's supposed to be a sign of displeasure with the direction of the program, right? He's not going to be fired mid-season, so you aren't showing shit. If Sid is back next year you'd have a good reason.] 2/3/2011 11:37:30 PM |

It feels like playing poker with the same cards every game.
It never changes or improves. We just have to play the same damn cards each time and hope we get a good flop or whatever it's called. And sometimes we do, and we beat the house, and we get that gambler's high and whatnot. But next game, it's the same cards...and we have no choice but to play them again.
It's just blind gambling.

Come on, whats the difference in a shit performance game in and game out this year versus next year? The people not showing up this year arrived at the conclusion that he can't coach long before you did. They apparently saw sooner what you didn't. I knew (but hoped I was wrong) Sid wasn't our man after it was obvious he had no clue how to make guys play together Hicksons year. When issues (eg, inopportune substitutions) never improve, it's a good sign that results never will either.2/4/2011 6:31:34 AM |
