    "I believe the hawk is dead!" :lol:

    jk pjhawks - I actually thought they didn't play too bad today. The Owls finally played a good road game and exerted their will over an inferior team. About time.

    Didn't see any of the Nova game because I had to go shovel my driveway after the Temple game. Georgetown is a pretty unpredictable team.

    i was at g town game. nova just played awful in the first half and ran out of time at the end. great atmosphere down there though. the big east is crazy. cuse lost again, uconn lost at home, and pitt barely beat rutgers.....in other news the johnnies are crushing duke right now.

    hard to argue Johnny. I think saturday was the 1st game i ever went to where i thought there was a zero percent chance of the hawks winning. hawks just going through the motions, other than Roberts they don't really play all that hard. temple got any look at any time during the game. fran took it easy by slowing it down for most of the game. temple could have won by any score if they chose to. at least starting that early game was over early.

    end of january jaegs and i said they'd be .500 in league so they are still a game ahead of where i said they'd be. i got a new name for you though jaegs, i am going to start calling you 'rally killer'. chirped about the phils being unbeatbale, boom lose in the playoffs. chirped about the eagles being unstoppable, boom lost in the playoffs, chirped about nova a week or so ago and boom lose 3 out 4.

    no actually here's what you said:

    And Nova still stinks. 7-9 loss team in the Big East this year. Other than shoot foul shots they really don't do anything great. Other than Stokes they can't shoot a lick and have no depth at all. By end of january they will .500 in the Big East and people will be wondering what is wrong with them. They've really only played 2 good basketball teams, tennesee and temple and one decent team in ucla. the rest have all sucked.
    .
    :lol:

    along with saying they "stink" you said they would be .500 at the end of january. 5-3 is exactly right where i thought they'd be. remember? they've only played one bad game in conference and that was a game i said they'd probably lose. not sure how closely you follow the big east but these teams destroy each other. in the loss column, 3 losses is good for 3rd place right now. hell our 11th place just crushed duke! :thumbup: brutal!

    go cats

    and not sure what you're talking about with the phils and birds. i said the phils would get to the world series when most were saying they would miss the playoffs. missed it by 2 games. and the birds being unstoppable? huh? i had serious doubts about beating the pack otherwise i would have had money on them. off again buddy :? :lol:

    'our' 11th place team, what you work for the league now? and the basketball points i listed above are what is happening to them over the past week and a half. not shooting well and depth is severely lacking and if Stokes' toe injury lingers or get's worse could be very bad for this team.

    you're right. they stink. :roll:

    you are just not watching these games. wayns and fisch shot 50% vs georgetown...that includes 3's. stokes was 40% and 3-6 from beyond. they just started out ice cold and ran out of time. disappointing loss. again i predicted them to lose 6 or 7 games. so a loss to quality g town team is something that happens in the big east.

    the providence game was an anomaly. i said the morning of that i had a bad feeling about that one (flip back a few pages). no surprise.

    they shot the lights out at syracuse. could barely miss a shot. everyone was on fire. great game. got a win when i didn't expect it.

    against uconn--that was a great game, at the #6 team in the country that was decided on a last second shot by one of the country's best players. didn't expect a win there.

    this is life in the big east dude.....it's a bit different than hawk hill, so i understand your confusion. :D

    these next 3 before pitt are huge though. they need to go 2-1 at least....we'll see. go cats!


    edit--regarding stokes, umm, yeah, if the team's best player is hurt and forces him to miss time or something, that's gonna end up hurting the team too. injuries suck. thanks genius. :roll:

    i only saw the last few minutes on saturday jaegs because i am a real fan of my teams, i actually use my season tickets and don't sell or give them away no matter how bad they are, like some 'fraud' fans on here.

    and as i said they are 1 game ahead of where i predicted at this point and i give them credit for that. i've never made excuses for the comments i made. i can admit when i've been off. i've been wrong up to this point on their record. no shame in admitting it.

    you should have just admitted that you're not watching them right off the bat. it was painfully obvious.



    between the akers/daughter cancer thing and dredging up the season ticket fraud thing from a few weeks ago, you're in rare form today dude. not surprising though.

    when i'm wrong, you'll be the first to know. until then, just look at is an education for yourself. soak it in. :lol:

    and please, with nova, watch the games instead of reading the blogs if you're gonna come on here and try to talk some smack next time. otherwise stick to the lowly hawks :lol:

    where did i talk smack? I gave an opinion. at that time i thought they stunk. that's not smack that was an opinion. talking smack is pumping out your chest about your teams which is what you have done rally killer. i've given opinions, some slightly off which i've admitted to. i don't go pounding my chest and talking smack about my teams. i don't need to tell a giants or cowboys fan how good my team is after every win unlike some people. i don't go around telling people how the phils are unbeatable. smack is wasted effort because in sports there is a scoreboard.

    Owls need to bring the beatdown to LaSalle Wednesday. Still a good shot at a 6 seed.

    Owls are 5-4 outside of Philly (counting Nova as Philly), 10-1 in Philly.

    hey even my Hawks won a game this weekend. good to see a win finally although Martelli decided to rip the fans as he has been doing lately. Guys in the midst of one of the worst seasons in school history and is taking shots at fans who rip him and the team on the internet. called us jackasses. So I'm an ahole for being a PJ message board guy and a jackass for being a Hawk message board guy. i guess if the shoe fits... :D
  • Johnny AbruzzoJohnny Abruzzo Philly Posts: 11,714
    Yeah pjhawks, I think Phil was right. You seem like a jackass. haha - just kidding. :lol: :P

    My Owls played a nice game to beat Rhode Island Saturday. I never posted about the win at LaSalle since I didn't see it - um since it wasn't on TV. :evil:

    Back to #24 in the AP poll. :)

    nova remains at the 3rd 3 seed, temple moves up to the top 8 seed in latest bracketology...

    good week for both schools.


    edit----another huge trap game for nova wednesday at the rac with the game of the year on saturday looming. that is a tough place to play and they always seem to give nova fits every year. after the providence loss, they can't afford to lose to anymore lower tier big east teams from here on out.

    Penn had a complete meltdown in overtime against Princeton last night. UP 1 they call a timeout in the last 30 seconds they don't have so Princeton ties it. Then turn it over and Princeton scores and guy on Penn misses a wide open layup, badly and they lose by 3. terrible ending for Penn after making a late run to tie the game to send it to overtime. Jerome Allen doing a great job at Penn in such a short time.

    go RU - been to the RAC a few times, great venue for college hoops especially when it's rocking. Should be rocking tonight as well.
