Gee, what a shock, Doyel endorses Gonzo.
Looks like my assessments were on the mark.

Not really. And you made "assumptions".GuyF said:Gee, what a shock, Doyel endorses Gonzo.

Once again (dude), you are assuming. And i'm sure you know the good ol saying, you know what "Assumptions" stands for.........GuyF said:Evidence is right there, dude. Get over yourself. Let me know if Doyel wiped his chin after going down on Gonzo.
Anyone with even an ounce of common sense would endorse Gonzo over Ruland. A very successful coach with some major personality flaws sure beats a mediocre coach with major personality flaws.GuyF said:Gee, what a shock, Doyel endorses Gonzo.

I know what the phrase is smartass. You assumed Gonzo and doyel are in cahoots.....and bobby put doyel on to the story. Please note i used the word assumed.GuyF said:Figures you couldn't even get the cliche right. It's "you know what happens when you assume..."
Please educate me, oh wise one. What did I post that was an assumption? I shall be glad to correct you afterwards.
You can't be more wrong about this. I mean, it's virtually impossible.THE GAELMAN said:The hypcorisy of Iona fans who attack Doyel, yet blasted Fairfield fans for attacking Puma is mind boggling. IMHO, Doyel has a much stronger case against Iona than Puma had against Fairfield.
And please note that you are still wrong. My "assessment" was based on a variety of FACTS.MCHowie said:I know what the phrase is smartass. You assumed Gonzo and doyel are in cahoots.....and bobby put doyel on to the story. Please note i used the word assumed.
Check every single one of my posts, roughly 50 of them, i have neer once used the phrase you like to use " connect the dots". After seeing the line spewed by Kentucly, I will wait and see what the NCAA investigation brings out. And since Ruland was recruiting LACC players - even though the most recent player couldn't make thee grade, I will stand firm on my assumption.GuyF said:And please note that you are still wrong.

You know, like the way you "connected the dots" in assuming that Iona was guilty in the LACC stuff.
Boy, you tell a great story. Too bad your lack of facts is astounding.MCHowie said:Check every single one of my posts, roughly 50 of them, i have neer once used the phrase you like to use " connect the dots".

Lastly, you associating Gonzo with Doyel and his story is borderline ridiculous. Unless you spoke to Gonzo or Doyel himself, you have nothing to base it on, other than your anti-gonzo thinking - which is clearly evident.
Just because Doyel called out Iona in a recruiting scandal, all of a sudden he's a horrible writer. Give me a break. If Iona wasn't mixed up with D1, Mike Miller and LACC, there would be no story.
Why do you think Ruland is campaining himself out of Iona, because he is in hot water. Spin it anyway you want. Everyone (on here) knows the deal. So keep spewing your Doyel hate, maybe that will stop the NCAA from investigating.
For starters, you continue with the namecalling. Very childish act. Keep it up, and we'll all continue to have even more respect for you. I'm sure you know the address of the smaac board, go there if you need to entertain yourelf. I have never once namecalled you, and i will continue to refrain.GuyF said:Boy, you tell a great story.

First off, there will be no NCAA investigation. I have already stated this. Pay attention.
Gonzo and Doyel are pals. This is a given. As for Gonzo himself, I have nothing against him. Hope he gets the Seton Hall job and takes CJA with him.
Doyel IS a horrible writer. On March 10, he reported that Leckie has retired and that Coffino would be named coach. Neither has happened. The douche reports rumor as fact--not the mark of a quality journalist.
Ruland is not in hot water. He asked for a contract extension and didn't get one, so he's annoyed. No spin--these are the FACTS, so everyone who you claim "knows the deal" must know the same thing I just typed.
Seems you're getting more and more bitter with each passing day. I guess that's to be expected when you're a fan of the first 1 seed under the new tourney format to CHOKE in the tourney. Schmuck.
You're such a liar. Some FACTS for you:MCHowie said:For starters, you continue with the namecalling. Very childish act. Keep it up, and we'll all continue to have even more respect for you.

As for your entire reply. I have no idea how you can claim all of those things are facts. How about this....maybe you made all those comments due to your sources - you know the same sources everyone on internet message boards have, the little voice in their head, telling them that they are right.
Lastly, Ruland asked for a contract extension. He just led his team to the NCAA's. Why do you think he's not getting an extension. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I would love to hear what the little voices a.k.a your sources have for this one.
Lastly
Choking = Losing to LSU
Clutch = Beating Flordia
Remember that "spin doctor" (Can that be considered name calling?)
GuyF said:You're such a liar. Some FACTS for you:
On your first-ever post on this board, you claim to be "new" to the boards. We already have plenty of evidence that that's not true. Most likely you're one of the Manhattan regulars too afraid to post as your regular user name on that board, such as 3rd pick.
On your fourth post on this board, you immediately--IMMEDIATELY--equated Doyel's story with fact, and labeled Iona as guilty.
Just three posts later in your career, you took a dig at the Iona private board, which you know damn well that I have and always have run. Like it or not, that constitutes a personal attack.
By your ninth post, you were attacking me personally by insulting my "huge announcement" post re the new Iona board. In fact, it was a huge announcement, as the site has had more than 20,000 page views in like 3 weeks. I guess people were interested.
Later in your time here, you claim above that namecalling is a childish act, yet you went out of your way to call Raver and Beagle "dipsh*ts". Unless that's a technical term for "Broncs fans", I'd say that constitutes namecalling, no?
You suggest above that I should go visit the sMAAC board. However, you have an established history of engaging in sMAAC-like posting yourself with both attacks on Iona and myself. In one thread, you instigated hostility by commenting that "unless Pratt went to LACC, he won't be coming to Iona." In another thread, you insult me by attacking my use of the term "reliable sources", suggesting that I serve as my own source. FACT: most out here who have known me for years know that I do indeed have many reliable sources. You have NO idea who I know or who I talk to. Moreover, you insult the idea that ANYONE out here has sources. Well, I know for a FACT that many posters out here DO have sources close to their programs. This suggests that you're just bitter that you're in the dark re your own program, which explains why you spend your time out here attacking others and calling them "dipsh*ts". And you say I should be on sMAAC.
I have already answered you re why Ruland isn't getting an extension, but apparently your lack of reading comprehension skills have come into play. The FACT is that Ruland and the Iona prez do not see eye to eye on a wide variety of issues, and this rocky relationship dates LONG before anything with LACC hit the press. This dates back YEARS. These are FACTS. And, again, if you know who my sources were, you'd be eating crowsh*t right about now--you're not even good enough to eat crow.
The rest of your post re Iona-LSU and such was very sMAAC-like, which is funny since you claim to be above that sort of behavior.
I'd say your *** just got handed to you on a silver platter. Since you cannot post without attacking me or Iona, I won't lower myself by replying to your inane posts until you demonstrate that you can post coherently about basketball without wallowing in the sMAAC style. Actually, given your inability to separate sMAAC from actual basketball talk, I'd be willing to bet money that you're one of the anon posters on sMAAC attacking other schools as well as particular posters.
I'm sure your retort will contain more of your fine posting approach, and the board will be waiting for your reply on the edge of its seat.
That's funny and screams Manhattan fan. What you are talking about is two years ago and LSU is in the Final Four, so I guess quite a few choked on them.MCHowie said:<snip>Choking = Losing to LSU
