Greatness Awaits, Character Arises
- Thread starter Gallipoli
- Start date
I think you have the bloodline of a Greek warrior.
By all means let's start another thread. This definitely wouldn't fit in the game thread. But that's Gallipoli. 12 hours ago it was "Moondog was such an idiot. What a terrible coach. I hate the guy." Hard to keep those logins straight but we're back on track.
U GOTTA WEAR SHADES
U GOTTA WEAR SHADES
The future is bright. The UR cup runneth over. Bring on LaSalle.
Which is why I'm surprised he isn't called "Callipolis"...
I assume he wanted to highlight the WW I campaign...
You mean this?

My favorite was the Epic Meltdown in the last 5 seconds against Charlotte in the A10 tournament, it may have been the quarters. We were ahead by 3 with 5 seconds left. There was a foul on Lindsay, a missed free throw. Derrick Williams was fouled, he retaliated, was called for a technical. Mooney went nuts and was given 2 technicals. Charlotte made 8 straight foul shots and won 68-63. They won and went to the NIT, we went to the CBI. Moondog was such an idiot. What a terrible coach. I hate the guy.

I fixed it for you. I will go back and change the original post. I have since consumed the correct amount of Koolaid. Keep up the good work, Coach. #M4L (Mooney for Life)

I chose Gallipoli, because the hapless, bumbling nature of the campaign is often associated with Winston Churchill. I added the picture of Winston, our hapless, bumbling rescue dog from the SPCA.

The reality is we should win very easily the next two games. Get some bench production and get ourselves ready for postseason play. But consider COVID it has cancelled everything. It wouldn't surprised me that postseason doesn't happen. The whole tournament is in one location. We have seen many teams pause their seasons this year. Saying the season is bright is really a fallacy.

yeah, pretty much feeling the same way. How is the Final Four tournament going to look when teams start getting knocked out for positive tests? Won't even be fun to watch
I'd rather be in the Final Four, than not in the Final Four...
An NCAA Bid awaits. Chris Mooney keeps collecting paychecks.
I am going to need you to come in Sunday. Let's say 9am. We lost a bunch of people. And we are so understaffed. Thank be great.
Make everyday better than the last. Practice leads to character growth. Work hard, overcome. Never give up.
Yes ,the good news is that we will have 6 very good wings next year, And Nelson as a rookie pg. And Grace and Sal inside. And we will hear Mooney talking about how young we are.
The chances are pretty good that tomorrow will be better than today.
Just like your handle.....horrible decisions and idiotic egos of leadership leads to disaster. Obviously not nearly as horrendous as the real thing but proportionally just as much a disaster
This team will not give up. They will work and they will overcome. Every player will be more determined. They now have something to prove. This team's character will rise to the fore. Go Spiders.

Winston Churchill overcame the debacle of Gallipoli when he served as First Lord of the Admiralty and went on to become one of the world's best known leaders a quarter of a century later. By that standard we still have a number of years to wait before Mooney's genius kicks in. Question is can we wait that long?
So when is Mooney going to over come this continuous mess? Maybe he like Churchill should be removed from office so he can make a comeback at a later time
Ahhh, what is stale, a schtick or a shtick? A better question- which is best the carrott or the shtick? A carrott is much healthier. But, if you consume a shtick, you will only have splinters. The better option is for the team to grow. Hard work and determination are the key.
Look on the bright side - there are no pretensions with schtick, everyone knows what it is, and it is very easy not to care about it, one way or the other. Whereas with our basketball program the "investment" is real...................
