What kind of a “Rough Deal” was he handed?
- 4 returning veteran starters
- A highly rated freshman class that, giving credit to Steele, he recruited.
- A preseason Top 20 ranking
- 10 extra practices in anticipation of, and extra practices and 4 games in Spain to work this all in.
Every D1 College coach in America would take that “Rough Deal” in a N.Y. minute.
Uh, Xavier throwing the ball directly to the other team and being stupid with the ball has nothing to do with what St. John’s does.
Want to argue that Xavier played like garbage? Ask Steele himself. He already said it immediately after the game. Want to argue with the Coach who’s team is still making the same mistakes 26 games in..with veterans?
We got lucky. We’ll take it, but if you can’t see the warts that still exist on this team, I don’t know what to tell you.
And my two Premium Xavier Season tickets are just fine, thank you.
Where are yours?

1. Travis was left with 4 players, two who were decent freshman by the numbers and no recruiting class, and a point guard who couldn’t shoot. He had to scramble. Did you not know that?
2. He lost legends Trevon and JP. Were they big losses? Not to mention he was never a head coach.
3. Did you expect miracles?

That last part stings a bit. I was there when Gary Massa scored his 1000 point, I was there when Xavier played Alcorn State in Dayton, I was there when Xavier beat Missouri and played and should have beat Duke in Indy, when Leroy Greenidge was handing out wrist bands out of introductions at Schmidt, i was there getting autographs at the gardens from McBride and others, I was there when Byron scored 45 in the MCC tourney, when David West scored 47 against Dayton, when Xavier fans stomped the floor in Dayton, when Xavier beat Creighton on New Years, when we beat Indiana in Chicago, beat Louisville in Cincy and on. That’s off the top of my head, there were many more. Don’t question my fandom.

Buddy you talked about me getting Butler season tickets. You started it. I wasn’t going anywhere with it.
And I sat through 3-23 and 5-21, so don’t think I know it could be worse.
This team has warts after 30 games counting Spain and they were damn lucky to beat a shorthanded St. John’s team. Forgive me for still having questions about this “System”."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

[QUOTE=xavierj;667598]I think I've got you beat. I went to my first game in 1974- Xavier 105 Union 49. After that game, I thought X was the best team in the country. I was there when X lost to NKU, at home, when the attendance at games would be 800 (estimated), when Tay Baker's recruiting classes consisted of 2 or 3 guys from the GCL.
It's nothing short of amazing how far X has come, particularly a school of our size.Last edited by XU 87; 02-21-2020 at 08:51 AM.
