So where's Realist?

Forgive me for this, but I just love me some Realist (no homo):

The Dynasty continues.....


Peele still sucks?

Realist wrote:Uh, you guys are really trying to talk junk?

Winthrop is the only respected program in the league. The rest of the conference is an embarassment.

If you guys want to talk, please win something, ever.

The dynasty continues.

Realist wrote:You've gotten beaten by 40 in almost every game you play on TV.

Winthrop has finished in the top 25 and is a household name going to the dance 9 times out of 12.

We'd love for another conference member to give us some competition.

The dynasty continues....

Realist wrote:Yes, dynasty really failing.....Peele now has more conference championship under his belt than all the other coaches in the league combined.

The dynasty continues....

Realist wrote:You guys just aren't very intelligent. You only insult yourselves when you insult Winthrop----we've owned you for over a decade.

Realist wrote:Same old story.

WU has won 7 of last 8 against LU, 13 of last 17. Peele is 4-1 since taking over.

Cider,

You still look stupid for the christmas comment.

Sincerely,

Realist

Realist wrote:WU will continue to dominate this league into the future. Nothing has changed, other than so far a one year blip with a turnover of roster. They will make a run this year at it and will most likely win it next year.

Smoothy,

The funny thing is, even if Winthrop didn't continue the run, WU's past is better than anything LU will ever accomplish.

The simple fact is Winthrop owns you, will continue to own you, and you continue to run your mouth even though it's proven everytime on the court.

If you want to cry about me coming onto the board, don't run your mouths like you've ever accomplished something, and definitely don't run your mouth to a team that has won 7 of the last 8 and 13 of the last 17 against you.

You just sound like a moron.

Realist wrote:Winthrop is and will continue to be head and shoulders over the rest of the league when talking in terms of overall long term program. They simply have the name brand no one else can compete with.

Realist wrote:At your thanksgiving dinner, give thanks that you are in a conference with Winthrop. It must feel good to get to play royalty twice a year.

That's all for now.

I will say this though, if we had as much success at Liberty as Gregg Marshall has, we would all be talking it up way more than he did. The only thing I really fault him for in his comments is thinking it was going to last forever and overstating Winthrop's relevance on the National scene. I think people knew and know Gregg Marshall but not necessarily Winthrop.

This Winthrop team is not the Winthrop team of the past. A very winnable game in Lynchburg tomorrow! I can't wait to drive back tomorrow!

Go Scar, Go Flames.

SCAR - belated happy birthday to your little one. Way to get the little cutie some TV exposure!

Thanks flamehunter! BABY SCAR was not loving the camera though. She gets really serious around strangers.

Haha! If only she knew how many strangers were seeing her.

We should play a drinking game tonite around how many times SCAR brings up his little one!
