Rising, what the dude imposter forgets to tell everyone is that there are only about 4 operational newspapers left in the country that haven't folded for lack of circulation. If the GW Hatchet sticks around for a few more years they can "bag" a few Pulitzers.
Merry Christmas alum abroad!

GW0509,

I would like to report a violation - dude continues to use several names (including GW Alum Abroad) so it doesn't look like one person has over 5000 posts in the short time this board has existed. We need to hire someone to investigate this conduct - Matt Gaetz is a lawyer and available!

It's a sad commentary on our program 8 1/2 years later that this topic gets more attention than our team about to enter conference play. 

From all appearances, ML has taken his millions and continues to live his life in comfort. Nero is now living at his sister's place in Northern Cal trying to decide what opportunities he wants to take 7 years after being fired. My question is, what the hell did he do with the $1.2 million his attorney was able to extort from GW for going away quietly in 2017?

At least we are not hearing about his other "America's greatest coach" Steve Pikiell (Rutgers). Probably because Big Ten Rutgers has a NET ranking of 85, is 7-4 with 5 of those 7 wins coming from Q-4 teams!

Rising, not saying NIL has nothing to do with our current situation - it is one of many factors impacting us.
Another factor is what Mayhem so eloquently stated earlier, the stench of 8 years ago is still with us and another factor that has impact. Some here would like to bury their heads of it and argue it was 8 years ago but it still impacts the program today.
We have had down periods before (not 8 continuous years in recent memory) and gotten through it. I just hope it's in our lifetime.

Nobody is calling for CC to be fired. He is in his 3rd year now so the honeymoon period is over and the team must start showing improvement or he should be treated like every other coach GW has had. Assuming CC isn't back for a 4th year, we would be on our 5th coach (ML, MJ, JC, CC, ?) in 8 years. Has that ever happened in D-1 basketball history? I dread the thought.

Note to scheduler - if we are going to continue to have a pre-conference cupcake schedule, please schedule these 200+ teams at the Smitty (home). I'm tired of the ref's being blamed by a few here every time we lose a game away or at a neutral site.

Calm down everyone and lets not go back to the old ways of insulting fellow posters.
Keep your panties on. We are 4-0 after beating teams we should beat (300+ rankings). We will actually play a decent team in KState then will have another bunch of easy teams to pad our win column before hitting conference play - does this sound familiar (last year)?
Jacoi will play as soon as he's medically cleared, which will be before conference play. These games against patsies mean very little (except to a few here that will be talking about at-large bids once again).

If we ignore him he will move onto something else.
Take note of all the threads he starts with the only contributors being himself. After about 2 or 3 days without a response, he starts a new one and the old one dies a quiet death.
IGNORE.

Mojo, JC and CC, all over 200.
Let's not fool ourselves, GW will never average under 100 again (ML was the last) regardless of the coach. I don't think they will even get under 200 again. Question is how long we stay in the A-10 before the admin seeks another suitable conference like the Patriot.

New AD, new Pres, so anything can happen.
Mojo had 3 to get it done. JC had 3 to get it done. Shouldn't be any different for CC. You can't compare CC's OOC schedule to JC and MJ because our OOC schedule under CC has been a joke, evident by our performance and record in conference play.
I hope CC can turn this thing around but I'm not optimistic when you have to depend on transfers and freshman. Otherwise, at some point we will be on our 5th coach and moving into a 2nd decade of misery since success.

Most have other OOC games that will balance out the SOS factor. Not GW. No others are predicted to be last in conference by Blue Ribbon. Keep on working towards those coveted at-large bids GW!
