has to be the most opponent friendly 2 game set any CUSA team could want. Fly in to Miami, play FIU. Hop a quick bus ride to Boca, play FAU, fly home.
The FIU / FAU road trip...
- Thread starter W-S HerdFan
- Start date
You left out, play at FIU before about 400 people and then at FAU (in an arena named for some ambulance chasing law firm website) before maybe 700, the epitome and example of the ZERO basketball commitment and interest non-entities the bottom third of this horrid basketball league contains.
Then pick up a win, or two, and spew about “turning a corner” and “finally listening” and such.

You are already downplaying even the possibility of a win. Wow. You have set yourself up to only ever be happy with MU b-ball if it fails. And you are okay with that? Successful games, seasons, etc will only be met more negativity and an ever moving target. To me, your inability to enjoy success and your efforts to discredit it make your opinions worthless. Very much partisan.
Not “downplaying” possible wins, at all. Just pointing out, because others choose to not accept the fact, what the bottom of CUSA basketball looks like. Zero commitment. Zero fans. Zero reason for existing. Going through the motions.
MU, and the rest of the third that tries, should look at the schedule every year and tick the box for “automatic win” against these cupcakes. CUSA is the AFC East of college basketball.

not asking you to comment unless you want to. many of us are trying to figure out why JW is not playing more.I am baffled the talent is there
I have commented on the other site and got bashed over there for being a biased, whining parent. I'll open pandora's box when the time is right.
“It’s clear that Conference USA and Marshall athletics just are not right for you. You expect Marshall to play the blue bloods of college sports every game and only will be satisfied when they beat every one of those schools that have boosters paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure the best recruits in the country.
If watching Marshall play any team - regardless if FAU or FIU - isn't enough excitement for you, then Marshall athletics is not for you.
You should go to your local Walmart, get a Spamite shirt, and proclaim that you are nationally relevant after your one winning record per decade in the Big 2/Little 10.”

Don't worry about that other site.
They believe Doc is a spy from Morgantown and his entire coaching tenure here is a scheme from wvu to sabotage MU.
Say what you want, whenever you want here.
The same has been said for football. Literally word for word...I see no difference.
HerdinAtl - Have noticed your absence. Hope you are doing OK. This is definitely not the place for support! More like the hyenas, always circling, figuring out when to close in for the kill. Then Scar (aka Sam) uses that syrupy evil voice to lure his victim into the death trap. MU basketball has seen worse times than this - much worse. Hope JW can weather the storm. Go Herd!!!
Thanks. I'll just put it like this.."A person with integrity expects to be believed. When he is not, he lets time prove him right".
Ah yes, the political excuse. It couldn't be because JW is shooting 23% from 3, which is about all he brings to the offensive side of the ball. One would think with a shooting percentage like that, a player may want to stay after practice and work on his game rather than going straight home....
There is no good ending to this.
When a parent’s child is performing well, I’m sure it’s fun for the parent to be active on message boards. The parent is praised not only for their son’s athletic performance but also for how great of a job they supposedly did raising their son who is always respectful, polite, and hard-working according to the fans who show praise during athletic success of the son.
Then, when their son gets dumped by a girlfriend so she can turn gay, everything goes to hell. There is no longer a release for the son’s build up of testosterone, so he is overly aggressive, and his shot becomes too long and ends up in bricking everything. To overcome the poor shooting, the son overcompensates by being too soft on his shot, which compounds the shooting issue. That results in less playing time. When you’re riding the bench, it’s a lot harder to get laid, so there is less opportunity to release the aggression from the built up testosterone. It’s a very vicious cycle that is hard to get out of . . . unless, of course, you can win back the bisexual volleyball player.
Suddenly, and not coincidentally, the drop in the son's athletic performance turns the fans against the son. Instead of "respectful, polite, and hard-working," he now becomes selfish, not a team player, doesn't work hard enough ("doesn't stay after practice and goes straight home"), and sulks on the end of the bench according to those same fans.
At the same time, the parent who is missing the previous praise is now forced to defend his son. It can never be the son's fault. It is always bad chemistry on the team from coaches doing a bad job of vetting recruits, the coaches having lost the faith of the team, poor coaching, a bias towards the son from the coach, or something related.
The parent's posts on here are read by a GA and/or an assistant coach, it is discussed in front of the head coach in a coaches meeting, and then coaches start to have animosity against the son thinking he is telling his parents bad information about the coaches and placing blame on the coaches.
In other words, unless your son performs like Tim Tebow every game, it's a bad idea for a parent to be on here if they can't handle fan criticism. But Tebow was a different story, because he used to perform circumcisions on babies in third-world countries during his missions, so god granted him success in all areas of life - hell, the guy couldn't throw the ball yet still won an NFL playoff game as a starting QB.
So unless you can get the bisexual volleyball player back to "socialize" with your son, it's probably not a good idea to be on here.
Hmmm... you are 100% correct. But...let me just add a couple of tidbits. Over the summer, he participated in every practice, film session, weight session and played in two summer leagues with other teammates, had to take three classes and a FULL-TIME position as an intern with the local radio station (had to complete 300 hours of service) which was mandatory for one of his classes. Again, you are right. he didn't stay after practice and work on his game. He just "went home"
And while your full of reasons why his game is suffering so bad right now, let's just add that he has to miss a lot of practice time now because of his class schedule. This was the only semester and time slots they were offered. He is taking 6 CLASSES right now. Yes, six. One of which is a stupid mandatory yoga class that DD made all of the team take.
Refer to my previous post
That was pretty funny. He is driving an upgraded model now.
I just read a bunch of excuses. Everybody has other things going on, that's what makes Division 1 athletics so challenging. Everyone else has classes/homework/projects....I'm willing to bet more than half the team finds time to work on their game outside of practice. To the outside observer, Jannsen plays soft, his shot is way off, and it looks like he pouts because he is no longer starting. The kid still plays 19.8 minutes a game/half the game.....be a competitor, nut up, and work your balls off to get your spot back...
Education trumps athletics, right? For 99.5% of these guys/gals, their degree is the most important thing they will take with them from college. I am sure my opinion is not in the majority, but so be it.
Rifle, I don't often agree with you (like, never) but I believe you have hit paydirt on this one. You should be a contractor because you hit the nail on the head with this one.
I am definitely curious as to what is going on. But in all fairness, the only thing I ever saw on the other page from you was very vague. I realize that it is not a good idea to give specifics that could only hurt the team and Jannson, but to hear a parent just reference “politics“ sounds youth league-ish and most people are numb to that. Just saying that in situations like this, if you can’t say everything, it is probably best to say nothing to be fair to everyone involved.Time will tell I guess.

How does it feel to be right for the first time in your life?
The board needs pictures to compare.
I suggest talking him into an Asian girl. They bring you a towel and clean you up, rub your feet after, give full bossy massages, and make side you’re at your best.
It may be what his body needs for recovery purposes. He will risk getting the Coronavirus, but Asians are the best slump busters.
Again, funny stuff. She is similar (Tall, leggy, blonde) I'm not posting pics. I personally think she is more attractive. She is a Division I, collegiate athlete and a big plus to Jannson and the rest of the family is that she is on the same side of the political spectrum as all of us.
I give you quite the compliment and you come back with smack? I stand by my previous statements... You really are full of yourself.
You spelled "busty" wrong.
A dark colored, late model SUV just dropped off an envelope of pictures of her to me, so no need to post pics.
Hopefully, for Jannson's sake, she is living up to the school name on the front of her jersey.
So she isn't perfect. You can't expect anyone to be. At least she won't be leaving for the softball catcher anytime soon.
I applauded you for being right. That isn't smack.
herdinatl - I would venture to say that you are pushing waaay past the boundary of publicly throwing out insinuations surrounding the team. It is a dangerous thing, and a good reason for you to take a break, again. No good will come from your foray onto the interweb, and it may cause further disruption to the team than Jannson is already contributing...….Think about this: Are you doing your son harm or help in fighting his fight for him?
Well here's the problem with the program. We make kids go to class. This is the exact opposite approach of UK, UNC, UofL, and a few others.
Boys, there is some truth to rifle's post. I read where Tyson Fury says he is masturbrating 7 times a day in order to keep his testosterone flowing in hopes of beating Deontay Wilder and eventually becoming the unified champion.
The only thing that I can get from this and surmise from this hypothesis is that long ago I should have been the heavy weight champion of the world and would have beat Joe Louis and Ali's collective asses.

Dad, needs to crawl back under a rock! We had to take Dancing for Athletes what's the difference?
many look at the stats or watch the games and see exactly why.
I have no idea how I missed this earlier but I did. I have never heard of this being a problem. Why do you think the 3rd and 4th coach, help student athletes get into their classes without any conflictions to practice and other BB related (mandatory) activities? That's the TM, 3rd, and 4th coaches job. If this is the case it does not fair well for DD. What is Practice a side show where the players come and go as they wish? Maybe, meister can weigh in on this. Believe me, anyone important to the team will be at every practice. Unless, of course; it just does not matter. The kid will never enter the game at any cost. So which is it? Is DD so clueless about how D1 teams work it is more of a shit show then the current Impeachment trials. Or is J so irrelevant to the team it just don't matter! In which, the coaching staff is a MF'er for at least not letting the kid (Parents) know where he stands.

I too just received my envelope. Ironically, #2 used to be my football jersey number, so she has that going for her.
She is shooting 75% from the stripe. Jannson is only shooting 44% from the free-throw line, so hopefully she is a good teacher.
comparing the season stat lines, they're eerily similar. #2 is averaging 6 pts and 5 boards per game, and Jannson is averaging 6 pts and 4 boards per game.
I'm guessing that he is promised Morehead if he doesn't out perform her.
Something along the lines of "If you let me score more in basketball, I'll let you score more off of the court."
