DMV -I admire your basketball acumen.I always learn a lot from you.Having said that I believe a little levity on occasion is not particularly a no-no.
I agree with you that it’s time to move on.Both things can be true.I’m a pretty good judge of when enough is enough.I look forward to your amazing
analyses of our opponents this season.

Dear Mayhem-Thank you so much for your support.I was hoping someone would enjoy the post.I’m a big fan of yours and look forward to following your
insights during the new season.

0509-You must ban Dude.He’s destroying the Board.Sometimes you must sacrifice one to save the rest.

Many,many years ago when consulting with large organizations with troubled ex-employees who continued inappropriate i.e.fucked up communication I would recommend invariably not to respond.Ever.Never feed them.The Dude loves connection.Who doesn’t?He wants it on his terms.If you don’t want to meet him
there-don’t!

I said I would drop in on occasion.This topic interests me enough to throw in my two cents.
Given the NIL landscape as it stands right now I don’t see GW Basketball sustaining a program
that is meaningful nationally.Just won’t happen any time soon unless some regulations are
implemented.Even then with immediate transfers the whole enterprise of putting together a 
consistent product is impossible.Call me stupid-As Joel says -are academics are not great.Our team is not good..GW is on the skids.Time to drop down conferences or D2 or D3 and focus on academics.I don’t know about the rest of you -but for me it would be nice to say I went here and feel proud of my association with 
the school.Let’s be great at something!!Know when to “fold them”.I don’t believe my take will be actually 
implemented -but this Is how I think and feel.

In other news "America's Greatest Coach" falls short again. Pretty sure they are soon going to have to modify the saying that the only sure things in life are death and taxes. It will be "there are only three things in life that are a certainty ... death, taxes, and "America's Greatest Coach" falling short again." 

I mentioned that I might drop in on occasion to see what was happening on the Board.Although I’ve lost 
interest in college sports due to what I believe is the NIL debacle-I felt it necessary to comment on a new 
and to me a phenomenon that I thought I would never experience.Unlike many-but not all people -I’ve 
never experienced Schadenfreude-“pleasure at other people’s misfortune.Never got it.To what end I would think to myself.That is until last night.Thank you Dude.

I can’t believe I’m saying this-I believe I’m done with GW Basketball-and college ball in general.
I’ve followed Bball since I was a child in Philly in the 50’s.The Big Five was my focus-but I was in love with the 
game-and some players were my heroes.The game has changed so much since then-as has the world-but in most cases I’ve adjusted -as we all must.However,I’ve come to the conclusion that with the NIL nonsense 
college sports for me has become a bridge too far.I’ll dip into the board on occasion-but the thrill is gone-
and I really don’t care anymore how the team is doing.I wish them well.

Crawford 65-66.LSF-so pissed off I missed the co-ed transition.If memory serves(it often doesn’t these
days) we were “allowed “ to have women in our rooms from noon till five -with the door open-on 
Sundays!

Biggest news of the day -SDSU upsets Gonzaga 74-64 in Spokane.
