Pike Failed the Fans, Minimal Effort Towards NIL Raising Would’ve Made For a Special Season

There is no doubt that this seasons results for both football and basketball were terrible. I don’t understand how anyone could think that Greg has brought in great portal players. Athan basically had no other power 5 choices besides RU and KC identified him based on past experiences. We needed offensive line help desperately and the mods kept saying we don’t have the money to compete for them, yet Kyk claims Greg is a NIL champion

it's very strange to me that there seems to be a very positive correlation between guys who hate Pike also LOVING Schiano.

OT: Winter Storm Thursday 2/20: Very Likely Somewhere Between A Non-Event and a Minor Event (oof)

Are you really going to deny that you're clueless with regard to how to post "current" graphics? We've covered numerous times how the NWS snowfall maps are "live" graphics that update at some point after the NWS changes the graphic. Right now your two posts on page 6, from Monday at 11:34 pm and last night at 6:40 pm, both show graphics showing they were "issued Feb 19th, 2025 at 9:46 pm," which means either you are able to post maps well into the future or I'm right.

And they'll both probably soon show the updated graphics from this morning. Every one of my NWS graphics still shows the original graphic from that time. Also, you did erroneously post the graphic from Tuesday night in your post last night, but now it shows the graphic from 9:46 pm last night in your post from 6:40 pm last night and any NWS graphic you've posted in the past now shows the most recent or a very recent snowfall map, like your post on the 2/6 storm also shows last night's NWS graphic.

It doesn't really matter much for this storm, but for a real storm with changing snowfall maps from the NWS it leads to misinformation and confusion. If you can't figure out how to post maps that don't change, you shouldn't post any maps at all from the NWS in these threads.
Aren't you special

7 page thread on a non event that was modeled as such by Sunday Afternoon

Maybe you shouldn't post maps at all from model sites on this thread lest there be misinformation and confusion

I hope that doctor didn't cancel his appointments

Freshman on the road......

I am baffled as to what the point is

think he's saying that we'd be a tournie team if we weren't in the B1G, SEC or B12 🤷‍♂️

my favorite thing he said was...

"But there were a lot of people on threads earlier this week, who arent qualified to talk about toughness or talent in terms of basketball..."

now that's big FACTS right there...

kinda losing me with the St. Johns stuff, however.

Oh what could have been.... Until next time. Someone with a truck should sponsor a road trip to the jackpot zone and take a bunch of guys and their snowblowers. We could roll in like line repairmen, but with white R magnets on our red snowblowers.

That would be impressive and at least they would get used. Good for promoting the brand too.

Here’s how the season plays out…

This team can’t afford to look ahead. One game at a time. Let’s get the next one.

I'm assuming you had a whole "Can't expect to beat Washington on the road with our cheap fanbase and no NIL" thread already drafted.

Will you find and replace with "USC" or draft a whole new thread if we lose to USC?

This season is not over, there is a lot still to play for

As I said - miracle territory

Again - not doom and gloom

simple obvious reality
There is some doom and gloom here.

Not people saying the season is effectively over. That part is obviously true barring a miracle as you say.

But people predicting all sorts of death and calamity over future seasons.

Freshman on the road......

Their top 2 scorers fouled out
They fouled out OR RUs players and talent fouled them out of the game. 27 to 16 fouls is about freshman making plays.

I think there's a pattern of downplaying wins, which is odd to me. If we were in an ACC, playing Stanford, California, Miami, Boston College or even some teams in the Big East like Butler, DePaul, Seton Hall or Georgetown, i would see the apathy being real.

Someone has to finish 16th, 17th or 18th in the B1G.....someone like South Carolina, who is winless in the SEC, will finish last. But I don't think fans understand how wide the gaps are growing between the SEC, then the B1G and Big 12, from the rest of "major CBB.

I feel fairly certain Washington is better than a lot of teams in the 8 to 10 range in other conferences. It's not an accident that there are so many teams in the 6 to 7 win range in the B1G now, because the talent and league is very competitive.

Doesn't make it easy. I'm just watching the games on a week to week basis.

Keep in mind, with Lathan Sommerville having literally no idea what he was doing in Octobee and Dylan Grant being another freshman, we played 40 minutes of high level basketball against what may actually be the best CBB of all time in Rick Pitino and played St Johns toe to toe.

So 2 things are either true or need to be looked at with 2025 reality.

A) St Johns is really not a Top 10 school ( they're ranked in the Top 10 this week) AND

B) The Big East is simply a watered down league with very few challenges on a weekly basis.

That means that if RU is 12th to 15th in the B1G and played St Johns without Lathan Sommerville knowing what he's doing and no Dylan Grant, that RU probably is in NCAA discussion if they're in the Big East.

And St Johns is nowhere near the Top 10, as such a poor shooting 3 point team, they're no better than Illinois or Oregon IMO today.

It doesn't mean RU has had the season we expected (losing to Princeton and Kennesaw with Dylan injury etc), but this notion that Washington wouldn't be ahead of Butler, Georgetown, Seton Hall, Depaul and possibly Providence in the Big East is crazy. Washington is easily as talented as half the Big East conference in 2025.....so is Minnesota and certainly RU as well.

RU has to meet the standards of recruiting and coaching in a Top 2 or 3 league of college sports. That is the reality of 2025. But to look at each league like the Big East and ACC as "Equal", is simply not the case.....

Freshman on the road......

We won because Harper was feeling himself against a bad team, and ONE of the supporting cast (JWill) had a good game.

Grant was ok and the predominant feeling on this board is the hope that he stays.

So by lumping the freshman stats together... Are you trying to argue that Lathan played well? I read your posts and often have no idea what the point is you're trying to make.

Yeah the frosh thing is a horrible take.

The bottom line is even your first statement isn’t true as a stand alone. The game ends in a loss if our pair of statistically poor long range shooters (J Will and Jordan were at 25% entering the game) don’t go a perfect 3-3 from three in regulation.

Imagine quibbling over a non event map and accusing me of the posting an outdated graphic while I posted the actual current map

You've been running around like a crazy person over snowshowers
