1) First off serious props to Ron for keeping this community of confused, frustrated and angry Hoya fans on somewhat of an even keel -- seriously bud, this has been your finest work as the administrator of this site

2) part of me will always wonder if we would have been better off if DSR actually did leave last year -- although a bigger part of me understands that is most likely misguided and just a search for an excuse

3) all my Pac 12 buddies that have abused me on every Hoya loss for the nearly the past 30 years don't even message me now after a loss. Now that is some serious pity.

4) If we don't get a transfer point or combo guard this offseason (or a miraculous JUCO find), I expect more of the same. It literally comes down to that.

5) As Ron mentioned in the game thread, we started out slow --- AGAIN. This has been the case all season. Game preparation needs to be addressed in a big way. Whether it's scouting, conditioning, basketball IQ, or something else -- it's back to the drawing board.

6) Fundamentals to me massively trump any kind of system issues as the biggest off-season concern. This team can't defend, can't pass, can't resist fouling, can't dribble, can't catch and can't shoot. This to me is extremely alarming.

7) We really cannot afford any transfers from our sophomores or freshmen. I think somebody will leave and it will be painful. I still have faith in Copeland. And Paul White returning cannot hurt. And I've been wrong about Peak in that he is a glorified Trawick. I think he showed enough improvement at the end of the year to be a potentially very exciting Hoya in his last two years.

8) I hope things change because I'm very upset that I cannot wait for this season to be over and just forget what happened. I love my Hoyas and this year was brutal for me. I probably watched slightly over half the games because I couldn't stomach it. This bothers me. I want to get prepared and excited and up for Hoya games again. Part of this has been assuaged by what is going on with the GSW. But still I miss good Hoya basketball.

9) If the exact same coaching staff is in place next year, I for one am going to be upset. JTIII needs a lot of help and he better go get it. As I've said before, I donate -- definitely not as much as some of you I'm sure -- but I do donate a decent amount. I won't do it again if things don't change.

10) I'm convinced Fox Sports is also upset at our program. It's better for the league and the TV contract if Georgetown is viable. We sucked on national TV this year. And we had many many opportunities. It would be my guess that we had more national network games than any other team in the conference including Nova (but I'm not sure about that).
