Its amazing that petagay and yankee think this board has the power to affect these kids. Everything on here has been fair and mostly directed at the admins. Pressure is a privilege. These kids are probably laughing at your attempts to protect them...if they actually read this. Give them more credit.
Past teams/players used to read the board and were very offended by the negative/disrespectful comments. Some players didn't feel supported by the fans. 2 former players once told me directly "the things they be saying on that blog is crazy. They are wilding." If players don't feel supported they will leave. Obviously, it's normal to be critical and we should express our thoughts but this board has become a Negative venting space. We can be critical of the team without being disrespectful.

Got to believe a shitty Louisville team is still on par with top MAAC teams
They lost to D2 Kentucky Wesleyan in an exhibition and went 4-28 last year, so I don't know.
One would think playing for Louisville still has some kind of ring to it ..Generally exhibitions are to give everyone a chance to play and wins and losses arent that important except to those d 2 schools ..thinking about Syracuse when they lost to Lemoyne years ago then made a good run in the NCAA tourney in March ..just saying ..not saying Louisville is Syracuse but i'll delay my criticism of Louisville
Really happy with the performance from last night. Took control from start to finish very well. Brickner looked fine so that's good. Impressed with Jadin Collins. I've thought the past two freshmen recruiting classes were pretty good for us and they are showing as much. Love the length, athleticism and defense from Daughtry and Salton on the wings. Nice to see McCool get some first half time. Pascarelli and Collins both looking good. Lots of options for Dunne this year.
Honestly, beyond fine. Brickner looked like easily the most athletic player out there on the court last night and made good decisions with the ball all game. Crazy that he didn't look hampered at all.
We'll play tougher teams no doubt but getting a win where we never trailed is always satisfying and I'll always enjoy it when it happens. Would love to see us hit more than half our free throws though lol

I can also confirm this. The players absolutely read the board and read the school news/Centerfield.

Lol!
Petagay, I’m sure the players will be fine.
Did you give them a yankee, oops, I mean hanky, and wipe their noses?
If criticism on this board bothers them, that is on them.
If it bothers them when we criticize a 7-23 or 13-20 team it is only because last time they went 7-23 someone gave them a trophy. There is nothing said here that should bother them - we are talking about them as athletes NOT as a person.

Noone is stopping anyone from being a negative grump. You can all he Shaun morashes if you want to be. I just think it's ridiculous to be negative before they played a game.

Stocks and stones may break my bones, but names only make you look foolish. Let's be a bit more mature you jerk face. I consider myself more like the brawny guy than a hanky.
