This team has played its heart out this season. All of us should be proud of them.
Proud of this team
- Thread starter Gallipoli
- Start date
You have to be kidding. This is the intersection of terrible coach and paid mercenaries.
Are you talking about the men’s team or the women’s team?
We can be proud of the team’s efforts without celebrating the performance/results.
On to the A10 tournament.

it's never been an issue of effort with this team. they have penty of heart. just not quite good enough to win games.
I am always proud of our spiders no matter what. Like Sman said, they played their hearts out and I commend them for that. We simply aren’t as talented as the other teams and just don’t have an A10 level roster playing in the A10 conference. Can’t fault the players for that.
Giving effort every game is very literally the least scholarship athletes can do. Kinda like someone praising me for not robbing any banks this year.

Don’t forget good guys. Nobody else has them. Except the teams we take a transfer from. They have at least 1. But nobody else.

good guys that compete with a great deal of effort and do extremely well in their studies and don't get in trouble with the law!
Unbelievable the low bar we hang our hat on around here. Hopefully Mooney did not committ any heinous crimes, only way he will ever get let go.
Unless you consider his coaching a crime against humanity...
i have to give the players credit, with our record, especially since so many are transfers, it would be easy to quit. But I have not seen them quit, they continue to play hard.
Nice job, 8.
Since these guys are all getting paid, I will be saving my accolades for hard work and effort for youth and high school sports. Paid players are paid to win ball games, they collectively did a really terrible job at this year.
Thank you! Thought about ending the streak today, but your encouragement has helped me hold out another few days. 🤣
I did want to add that I am very proud of EL for not robbing any banks today too. Great freaking job!!

EXTEND EIGHT LEGGER!
I'm sure if someone calls Hardt up and says "extension" he will just sign on the dotted line. It is what he does.
At the end of the day, this guys are just 18-22 year olds. They are not professionals and they do not make generational wealth. They have not given up and they haven't quit. I will always give our student athletes the benefit of the doubt and praise their effort.
About the coach, I am not so sure.
We should have hired Ryan Odom 3 years ago.

fair sentiment...tho I'm very sure on coach, that's always different. And now actually they can easily be 25. Coming soon? 30 year olds! Bring back Goo Moo George Evans! Tho at least he had a legit reason.
Even Chris Mooney calls it professional sports
When are they going to start paying message board posters? I'm getting close to 5,000 likes, I may enter the portal. Eight Legger gets the franchise banner....
