MVC Discussion Thread Week 4

This is dumb. Also you can’t be racist towards white people in the USA or most places throughout the world.

Nice to see the Loyola board go full racism on AJ Green and his dad. I was taking a look at their forum and they claim it was warranted because UNI called Krutwig fat. I went and looked at UNI's forum and found this scathing post on him

The key for me is making Krutwig guard away from the basket. He tends to reach and doesn't always do a good job of moving his feet in space. Phyfe is certainly capable of consistently turning the corner on him.

And you're correct on Krutwig. He doesn't like to play defense. He's out of shape and gets winded. The key on that one is how we defend Krutwig. If we limit his passes we stand a good chance. If he gets all the garbage we're in for a long afternoon.

That's it. That's the entirty of discussion on Krutwig. One post saying Phyfe has a speed advantage if he gets him to defend the high post, which after yesterday certainly doesn't seem to be wrong.

A follow up post agreeing Phyfe banging around with him down low and drawing him out could wear him out and that Krutwig doesn't like playing defense outside of the post. Again, that doesn't seem to be wrong.

Krutwig, whatever he is listed at, is listed lighter than he is. He's a big dude that doesn't "look" like he's in basketball shape. Looks aren't always accurate but you look at him and he "looks" like he is mid 30s and getting ready to dominate the local Y league. He's a great post player. He's had, and will continue to have a great career. It's not hard to understand that outside perception of him is that based on looks.

The things I saw a Loyola poster posting about AJ, and his father, were extremely poor taste at best. I'm all for smack talk but what was said in "retaliation" for something as simple as what UNI posters said was just crazy.

Told me quite a bit about the posters on that forum.

That's....one take.

I bet now he will accuse me of being a speciesist too!

He can't say I'm not bipartisan though.

I would simply say if you go on another teams fan board and then get all indignant about what they post, you're the one with the problem. Stay away if you don't like it, but don't act like a little girl and cry "foul".
If it's a shared conference board like this then fine, but specific fan boards are for fans of that school to rant, rave, and vent. JMHO

Yes, THIS.

THANK YOU, sir.

I would add that if you're going to go on another fanbase's message board and then complain about what you see, step back for a minute before excoriating that board's entire fanbase and ask yourself: Gosh, I wonder what MY message board might look like to an outsider?

Is it really the ENTIRE message board, or just one or two wankers? Is your board any better by your own terms?

I used to spend some time on the (gasp) WSU message board back in the day and found that--by golly--most of the posters were as reasonable as the people on any other board and were willing to talk if you didn't show up with a chip on your shoulder.

There is a terrific Simpsons episode from the early days when the kids from Springfield go to Shelbyville and are freaked out by how "different" it is. The gag, of course, is that it is exactly the same as Springfield.

I loved that one.

I grew up in a central Illinois town of 650. Our biggest "rival" town was six miles away. A town of 1100. But boy were we convinced we were so much different than them. More civilized. It's hilarious to look back on it now.

That's real basketball. Hot gym, wound up fans, hot popcorn. Barnburner games!

That is the kind of statement that got Trump elected in the first place.
