Imagine still watching this shit.

I don’t think he needs to imagine that.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Refs should kill themselves

 

[HerkyHopeful]

No offensive flow this half at all

I got Wisconsin at -3.5 with 8 minutes left

Sweet hedge dembele

Oh was the ball screen defense fucked up? Weird.

 

[Gushawk]

Good for you, you deserve it

 

[AZmessDAWG]

They need to lose the rest of their games.

 

[Gushawk]

lol Peyton you HUGE pussy. just lay there

 

[Dr. Zaius]

This team ain’t making the BTT

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Fran being a weirdo and going through the handshake line with 10 second left

 

[Uff Da]

lol Peyton you HUGE pussy. just lay there

Got knocked down twice and acted like a whiner.

BB program needs a complete reset

[Dr. Zaius]

 

[Saul Berkley]

Can you imagine how empty Carver will be next year if they let Fran come back for another year? Place will be a morgue.

Freeman loves it at Iowa, see

 

[Gushawk]

I’m not feeling the love any longer. Time for something new.

 

[Revolver]

He won’t be back. He cannot be.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Dix took like one shot the last 5 minutes of the game. I wish he thought he was as good of a shooter as Payton thinks himself to be.

Could be a Kool-Aid Jammer

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

It's like they were just looking at Sandfort. Traore was four feet behind center court. It doesn't matter if Payton was in the front or back court.

Bad call but the decision by Payton to catch and two foot jump stop as if trying to avoid the violation was somehow stupider.

 

[douglasbader]

Please just end this era of Fran and thank him for his service. Time to move the fuck on.

Its beyond time.

I haven't even been sure the Hawks can beat Washington @ Carver for the last week, and that was the only remaining game I gave them any shot in.

 

[Gushawk]

Still hoping we miss the conference tournament and fire him before it even starts.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Almost had a hole in one on #16 just now. That would have been a shit show.

This is totally hilarious bro.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Thanks.

It's basketball, so they will get a game or two you aren't expecting.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Went to the game today with the lowest of expectations. It was actually way more crowded than I was expecting. It wasn’t a raucous crowd by any means of course, but it was a pretty solid crowd there to support the Hawks with minimal bitching about everything. Now that may be because it was just a bunch of people that don’t really give a shit, but I was pleasantly surprised that they were there in the first place. I think this thing can get turned around fairly quickly with a new coach.

Purdue game was about half as many people but more into it. Today was good attendance for this year but two years ago it would have been stunning to have that many empty’s for a Saturday game.

 

[BBK]

My apathy is probably worse than during the The Criminal era. I was at least pissed off then.

Now I don't give a single fuck

 

[HerkyHopeful]

It may be surprising to a lot of folks what not losing 6 of 7 with Fran just standing there would do for crowd support.

If Frans effort was there he could probably survive this season, but it's not.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Fran just sitting there, I mean

 

[BBK]

Fran just standing there with his hands in his pockets with his mouth open these days.

He just looks like he shit himself every game and he's surprised as if it's never happened before

Dressed like he just woke up 15 minutes ago

Kakert being particularly Kakerty.

Folks I know you all want to see fired up crazy Fran, but I just don't think that will be happening and I think most would understand why at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was talked to following the MSU game last year. There was a clock operator's error a few games ago- which typically sets him off, and he started to get pissed, then he sort of opened his hands, put his palms down and mouthed "okay, okay," then sat down.

I don't buy the checked out stuff, he's still running the program like a guy who plans on being around, had a number of visitors yesterday. He's just coaching like his primary job is to remain calm. It's very strange to see.

I said this same exact thing 2 weeks and was accused of making shit up.

Your persecution complex is something else.

 

[Billy Butters]

It will always be funny how much more a clock operating error or a delay of game by the other team hitting the ball after a made basket infuriates Fran than a blown assignment on defense.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Can Detry hold on to his lead today?

 

[Dr. Zaius]

some people say he lost his fire after his brother had a heart attack

 

[Uff Da]

Scheffler

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Golf.

Carver still has good energy for most games. For whatever reason it never really translates when watching on Tv and comes across more stale than it actually is

“Talked to”?

Of all the things the athletic department has to worry about, telling Fran to settle down should be one of the last things on the list.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’m guessing Fran got an earful from Beth but she didn’t realize she was talking a stubborn prick rather than a soft bitch like Alford.

 

[Gushawk]

I don't give a fuck about seeing passionate Fran - it's not like it's ever had a Knight-like effect on our defensive intensity.

I'm just ready for him to be gone, regardless of his level of anger and intensity.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I heard some uninspiring stuff over the weekend. Basically that several of the candidates we discussed here have some level of mutual interest (strong even) but don’t think that our current AD gives a shit about men’s basketball. Basically they know we don’t have the current money to be competitive, but we also don’t have a person to fundraise for either NIL or the carver renovation. Also that a couple names further down the list don’t have a good relationship with Beth anyways so they are out.

If that’s accurate, I am preparing myself for Fran’s return at this point. Fuck.
