    Talking about Kaufusi's dirty play being the highlight of their team last year and wishing that they had him on this years team to elbow people in the face. That speaks volumes about SOME of their fans. I guess the bigger the fan base the more ignorant fans there will always be though.

        that message board style confuses me. Much like BYU thinking they had a chance to win.

          I'm not sure what Kaufasi could do for that team. They are already a physical team that rebounds well. Their front court guys are not exactly afraid of contact and they are far more skilled than that brute.

            Some Seahawks fans threw food at Navarro Bowman. I hope people don't assume all Seahawks fans are this way. I think we should give BYU fans the same benefit of the doubt.

            Just to make this post even more random I have attached a video.

              20 kernels of popcorn fell out of a 49er fan's cup as he was leaning over the rail to wish Bowman well. The kernels fell near, but not on Navarro Bowman. But feel free to stick with the meme that Hawk fans threw "food" at the injured player. After all, that's what the first tweet (retweeted thousands of times ) said.

                    I stand corrected. As a Hawks fan, I'm glad that was what really happened.

                      Their board is worse than Don central, if for no other reason than there is simply more of it.

                      Let's see, whiny, sexist, self-righteous, and condescending - - just in those posts, especially loved the "Haws chin was blocking the elbows of . . . "

                      Yesterday, one of them wrote (and many agreed) that joining the WCC was the worst move ever made b/c BYU never used to lose to New Mexico, SDSU, UNLV and those games were fun. Now, in the WCC (and this is a direct quote) "there's nothing to play for" blaming our league for their inability to play for the tournament.

                          This is from Loyal Cougars:

                          Seriously, how many years has David Stockton been at Gonzaga? I think he may be like the Dread Pirate Roberts — when he’s finally ready to move on, he leaves Spokane and retires while some other 5-foot-11 white kid puts on his jersey and takes on the mantle of David Stockton. The old one hangs around as a graduate assistant, calling the new David Stockton “David Stockton,” which tricks Mark Few and the rest of the program. Someone investigate this.

                            HA! That is classic. Any time The Princess Bride is referenced I'm all for it. Now stop that rhyming and I mean it...anybody want a peanut.

                              Here is another level of arrogance, it simply can't be that the WCC is better than they thought - - and it's all about gym size.


                              It would be worse in the MWC

                              We can't win in high school gyms where we have more fans. It would be worse in that league.

                              Big part of the issue is our lousy bigs....esp on defense. That is why our perimeter guts have to help so much even against bigs that aren't good. See Vande Mars. Leaves wide open threes

                              When the guards didn't crash to the post Dower and company got two foot shots because they pushed our bigs so far in the paint
