I'm not keeping it going. This will be second day of not mentioning anything critical of the team. But its never too early to mock the ridiculous.

Never too early & you certainly were not the first post this morning but The Committee never lets Facts get in the way of The Story.

Have you heard The Story?


The Story

This is a story of a Good Man, long respected and a known contributor to the forum. Father of the legendary YT channel that brings joy to many a poster of RN. He just got wrong in the head one day. Some say Heel poisoned his Scotch while others suspect he's suddenly & inexplicably turned into a miserable person on every level. We will never know for sure, but whatever happened, he one day got infected with a horrible case of the Cannot Let Go Syndrome (CLGS). He's been plaguing the site ever since, singlehandedly keeping a dangerous and morally reprehensible thread alive, despite the reasonable pleas to simply "Let it Go" played to the tune of that catchy bit from Frozen.


A real GD Greek tragedy. I'm writing the screenplay and if it sells I'll cut you in on the Royalties.

You left out the asterisk about telling people that are critical of our play to seek professional help because their life is awful and they are a miserable person. Oh and critical people may or may not beat up by the let it go committee or doxxed(The poster’s words.).

So where has Heel been?

I am most certainly not innocent, I was down on a lot earlier and pretty harsh so I’m certainly not gloating here or anything. Just curious why he has been absent during the winning streak.
I don’t want to get into daily fights. I don’t have the energy. Nothing I said isn’t true. I’m not going to be around much after a loss either. The next 8 weeks will prove me right or wrong.

Rhoades is a good guy, great recruiter, terrible sideline coach. He isn’t able to take vcu to a higher level. He needs to go and he needs to go before next year. Schmidt showed us what a coach looks like and we can’t compete dispite being way more talented. It’s over for rhoades

You don’t have a clue and no amount of time talking to you will change that.

Threading the needle may be the new norm. Due to the "new" transfer rules and NIL to some extent...the Mid-majors, most outside the P5 are rebuilding/reloading more now than they ever have. It's taken how many games for us to start seeing the "Chemistry". Winning Q1 games early has always been hard but having to win some of those games with "replacements" has become even more difficult. I agree the "big picture" for us is the NCAAT but I've adjusted my expectations a bit.
Bonnie’s lost much more than us, or perhaps any A10 team, from last year yet played us tough all game and deserved to win. They don’t have nearly our bench or depth at each position. Yet they won. MS is simply a great coach. We shouldn’t be discouraged because this loss doesn’t mean that much. Even if we won in the last minute we gotta win A-10 tournament to go dancing. Everything else is nice but of little consequence.
