It is not lost on me Billy Lange decimated our basketball program and then joined the most Villanova centric NBA team ever created

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

Giving this press conference then pulling Billy Lange out of the ‘Rolodex’ and retaining him for 7 years while he never delivered any of the things promised in this presser, all while being annoyed the fans had turned to anger/apathy pre Steve. Laughable

[Hawk Talk Podcast @HawkTalkSJU]

If you’ve been a St. Joe’s fan the last decade, you likely vividly recall the days and weeks around this interview.
Over 7 *long* years since this conversation at Hagan

It feels like a lifetime ago

And it’s a stark reminder of what can happen in the first year of new leadership

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

(Good)Embiid, Maxey, PG, VJ, Jameer

vs.

(Evil) Brunson, Bridges, Hart, Ric Brunson, Billy Lange

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

Tremendously excited we did not employ the search firm that peddled Jill and then Billy upon us

Maybe we are learning! Shout out Cheryl

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

The fan engagement strategies that Ash was employing at LaSalle compared to whatever the hell Jill was attempting to do here on that front, could not have been more different

Pretty excited to get this new era started

[Will Warren @statsbywill]

Last three years combined using Bart's 76-team model (which he would admit is makeshift but is likely pretty close to the truth): a combined 5 mid-majors added to the field with 24 additional spots. It's not gonna help Tulsa and Belmont. It's gonna help 19-13 Virginia Tech.

[Kevin Sweeney @CBB_Central]

It's where the people who claim this is "actually good" for mid-majors completely get exposed.

Makes basically half the mid-major AQs have to play their way in. Drives all of them down the seed list. All to *maybe* get 1-2 more at-larges in exchange for 6-7 more HM bids.

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

The bracketology floating around showing this exact scenario would’ve played out is comical

The dumbest talking heads you know will spin this as a win for MMs and cbb, in reality it further lines the pockets of the Power conferences and all fans were against expansion

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

Puzzling to be staunchly pro expansion while saying nothing about reforming the NET

Seems like you’re just signing up to give Sankey and Co. license to put 6 or 7 more mediocre teams in, to get 1 or 2 additional mid majors in

Why even be pro expansion at that point?

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

Big time. #Retain

Williford is back

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

@5Fpani @thwnd1410 @stupiddja @TheGolaStandard Tweeting that video and then disappearing into thin air is a great bit

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

Farewell to Anthony Finkley

Will never forget the 4 threes made against Nova

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

@TG2point0 Don’t like the give hawk hill hell part😂, but if he shoots it like he did sophomore year would provide some much needed spacing for Dockery (who was already real good last year without much shooting around him)

Bezos sends the celebrities to space, we lose a PG to the transfer portal

NASA sends a crew to space, we lose a PG to the transfer portal

Something in the cosmos is conspiring against the Hawks

Not going anywhere. #THWND

[Crimson& Gray Report @Hawk_Talk1]

Michigan is one of the best teams in recent memory, assembled a 5 transfer starting lineup with no real flaws, combined with elite coaching.
Also might’ve been the moment college basketball officially jumped the shark
