Colonials Basketball

Well, I just returned from the Smith Center....two thoughts...I miss the 2005-2006 squad and Hobbs needs to be canned now.
We only got there about 30 mins early, and got seats first row behind the GW bench. What an interesting experience. Forget that we'd already lost 8 straight, and that we had the best seat in the house to cheer us away from number 9. It was a decent game by recent standards...we played Rhode Island to double OT and managed to hang tough despite some bogus refs. But I am not gonna blame the game on the refs even though Diggs, our best player, fouled out with about 8 minutes to go in regulation. I am going to blame this one on Hobbs and the verbal abuse he dished out faster than fast-break passes and more intense than slam dunks. Never have I heard one short man scream louder, or convulse more wickedly at each mistake. I frankly wondered if we even conducted practices anymore and if the the meaning of his four letter tirades had lost their effectiveness...
No I did not bow him as he entered, nor did I boo. Instead I just shook my head and reminisced about the glory days of Mike, Pops, JR and Carl. There were a few bright spots, Ware the freshman played well and Johnny Lee had two clutch 3s down the stretch. Even Diggs managed 18 points before taking a seat. Too bad players look as if they are going to cry when Hobbs screams at them. I mean come on...where is the love coach? It's time to give up the "fuck you Witherspoon's" and "you are going to shoot us to a loss" Damian's. I have had enough of our crap and miss the good ole' days. Well, at least those fuckers at Georgetown lost today as well.
I guess it's time to switch my laundry, and cool my jets with the Week in Review section of the NYTimes and beer!
