A little fuel for the fire for Wednesday's tilt, although he may be a Georgetown fan?

I wouldn't worry about it. That site has one reply to a post (all 9 of them) since August of 2012. Nothing to see there...

Why would SH have a basketball board?

Right, but do we want claims of racism sitting on the top of a message board? Not worried about it, but sort of annoying to go on there and read that crap.
If there's a post on a Seton Hall message board and nobody reads it, is it really a post?
Wow, that board is dead, last post before that one was Dec. 13th, and I count 33 posts (including spam) in the past year. For Seton Hall's sake, I hope they have a different board that's more active.
They have a Rivals site. I responded to the dope, just so he didn't get the last word.
QuoteThere is a Marquette fan site that runs a poll mocking opposing players names. It claims to be a "vote for the coolest names" but what it really is is a bunch of unsophisticated yokels mocking foreign and ethnic names. They have a poll at which these morons vote for one of several nominees. Then these idiots pile on with "witty" comments. It is really disgusting as what they are really doing is making veiled racist comments. The site isn't one of the reputable national ones. These guys seem to number a few dozen rabid Marquette supporters who take great efforts to mock opponents. They also post photos of an opponent's alumni and take great pleasure in mocking the caliber of that alumni community. They did this for GU and every team they have played this year. Are these the sorts we want to be with in the new conference?
Pretty funny.
Isn't it racist of him to assume all of those cool names belong to non-traditionals?
Who invited Seton Hall to the new conference?
I haven't seen anything racist in the coolest name poll. Actually I think it kind of "celebrates diversity" in taking a look at different names. I've learned that Onochie means, roughly, Junior. Something I never would have looked up about a culture had it not been for Ochie's dominance. (Nigeria's Ibo tribe)
<Opposite of teal> Why wouldn't we mock their alumni? We are the best. </Opposite of teal>
He/she/it (to be politcally correct as not to offend he/she/it) also posted to every other BE site + the Badgers...
The name of the poster is "Kingston Hoya". It's a Georgetown fan that's posted the same thing on the scout boards for Seton Hall, Louisville, Villanova, South Florida, St. Johns, Syracuse, etc. He even put the same thing on the Wisconsin board to try to rile something up. They're smart enough to realize this guy is a troll and are ignoring him. We should too.
Geramipoor is from Manchester, England, it doesn't get more traditional than that.
How nice. The guys on the Badger board are actually beating up on this guy:

Stop being such a kitten. Politicly correct people like u annoy the hell outta me.
Who cares! Students at Madison always said Ann Arbor was a whore.
I believe that is the sound of crickets I hear. There are many reasons to dislike Marquette basketball. This is not one of them.
I didn't know Jesse Jackson posted on this site!
Last year I was checking out something on the Kansas site and they had a post about the Wisconsin basketball team. They put up pictures of all the white players on the team and were saying that Wisconsin was the ugliest team in basketball. I have to admit the pictures were not very flattering and the comments were a little funny. There is a perception that Wisconsin is all white but they did also show some respect to the quality of the Badgers. Instead of flaming on them I took it for what it was that they were just having a little fun. A bunch of tall young white guys lined up together is not a pretty site. People just need to get over themselves and worry about real issues.
Oh gee, an east coast DC elitist throwing accusations of racism at us flyover-country hicks. It blows my mind how they love to call everyone racist who isnt an Ivy League graduate or a west coast hippie , yet they are the ones who are obsessed with color and seem to see "veiled racism" everywhere they look. These are the people running the country right now. I'm moving to Canada.

Now is an appropriate time to point out how reluctant the Big 12 was to let in Louisville for their very weak academic profile.

I hope not, because that may mean that we are in the NIT. (Maybe, especially after that flagrant foul call )
Wait just a minute now. I wasn't the least bit upset when this idiot essentially accused my wife of racism but I take serious umbrage when he/she/it suggests this:
"The site isn't one of the reputable national ones."
Hey Hoya fool!!! MUScoop is the SINGULAR NATIONAL SITE for all is that important in college basketball. At least get that part right you moron. (There, I feel better now.) ;)
