GW Finally Fires Karl Hobbs

That is all....

This site takes 100% of the credit for this miraculous occurrence....maybe now we can play with 5 men on the court and recruit big men who weigh more than 180 lbs!

Stuff GW People Like

There is a new blog about GW out on the inter-webs. It is somewhat funny and they haven't posted anything about Karl Hobbs. StuffGWPeopleLike.com

Karl Hobbs Hype Video

Somehow this buffoon has been at GW for a very long time. Someone is taking crazy pills.

Batting .100 against the BCS!

Congrats Hobbsie! You are now 3-27 against BCS opponents! He didn't get out-coached in any of those 27 losses though!

Quote of the Week: "When I get some top-50 recruits, you can ask me about being outcoached."

Hobbs' Shackles

It turns out that Spoon and King disliked playing for Hobbs. Who wouldn't? Everyone from Maurice Rice to  Saint King have now complained about Hobbs on some level. It is clear that Hobbs runs a tight ship on the court, however you have a problem when such a wide array of players seem to hate playing for you. A coach needs players who are willing to go to war for him.....

Now that King is free of Hobbs' shackles, he is shooting over .500 from 3 point land. He also leads UMBC in scoring at 14.1 ppg which is up from last year when he averaged 2.8 ppg (for GW).

Guess which men's D-I program has one of the lowest FG% in the nation at .347. That is good enough for 342 out of 347. 

Keep up the good work Hobbsie.

Hobbs Hates Us!

Hobbs has blocked our FireHobbs Twitter account. I cant see why though

Two Thumbs Up to Hobbs

Only a moron can play his star player for 18 min in a non-blowout and still expect to win. 5 players (3 freshman) player more minutes than Hollis. Coach I must say 17 turnovers and 10 assists is a sick statline. Keep up the great coaching job.

FIRE KARL HOBBS EXCLUSIVE: TRAVIS KING TO TRANSFER?

Fire Karl Hobbs is proud to be the first source to break this potentially huge story for George Washington basketball. This blogger's personal favorite Colonial, Travis King, seems to have his sights set on leaving GW for a new school......


From King's Facebook Page


"Man its been crazy down here as far as playing time goes but I'm transfering to another school. God is in control so I'm good."




This is terrible news for all GW basketball fans and we at FKH hope the situation can be resolved. If it is not, we wish 'TK1' nothing but the best.

Pops Just Being Pops

Pops goofing off during the national anthem. Unfortunately he got cut days after the game. Cheap Ass Raptors.

Another Rick Majerus Horror Story.

The newest edition of Deadspin's A*Hole Coach Digest has a little A-10 flavor to it this week. Even though Hobbs isn't featured in this article, it is still an enjoyable read.

Here Comes Mr. Lin

Jeremy Lin Blog

Last year he shot 4-10 from the field with 2 steals, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 turnovers in 30 min. in the Smith Center. However, that was last year and this year he is a legitimate threat to drop 25+. After putting up 30 against UCONN and 25 against BC, he has become a proven scorer. At the same time he will turn the ball over and that will be the key once against for the Colonials. Hopefully Hobbs utilizes our quick guards and lanky forwards to double Lin. We must make him go left and make sure we fight through the screens. This may be one of the few games where FKH will give Hobbs the "green light" to NOT guard the three point line as Harvard isnt the greatest 3 point shooting team. They are shooting a measly 31% behind the arc.

We believe that GW will get their 10th win of the season in dramatic fashion. GW by 4 as Hollis seals it with free throws down the stretch.

We will provide updates via our new Twitter page.

We leave you with this.

FKH's All-Decade Team

First Team
G Carl Elliott- Winningest Colonial Ever. Record GW's only Triple-Double, 2nd in career assists and steals at GW.

G SirValiant Brown- holds GW single-season scoring record (99-00). Second in D-1 in scoring during 99-00 season.

F Rob Diggs- 32nd on GW's Scoring List and 2nd in career blocks. One of the greatest athletes to play in the Smith Center.

F Mike Hall- 4-year starter. One of GW's most unselfish players.

F Pops Mensah Bonsu- The Mayor of Foggy Bottom. Enough Said.



Honorable Mention: TJ Thompson, Maureece Rice, Chris Monroe, JR Pinnock, Omar Williams

Recap: So that puts us at 9.

GW had another early lead only to watch it almost disappear in the end. Up by 14 in the half, Hobbs continued to let Holy Cross' Devin Brown shoot wide open three pointers. Most coaches would decide to guard Brown's 3-pt shot but not Karl Hobbs. In the end Brown finished 5-7 from 3pt range and almost stealing the game from the Colonials. Did Hobbs not know that Brown shot 5-7 3pt range against Sacred Heart in his last game?

On the bright side, we are 9-2 and sitting pretty. Today really solidified the emergence of Tony Taylor and the downfall of Travis King. While King had 3 assists and played decent defense, he is definitely no longer THE Point Guard. Taylor with some excepts had a great game. 10 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal is a great stat line while getting more playing time than any other Colonial. In fact he is averaging Carl Elliott-esque minutes for GW. We wager that Hobbs just really likes him.

In the end we are 9-2 and will be facing a dangerous Harvard squad after squeaking by against Holy Cross 70-68. The Harvard game could make or break our season. It was around this time last year when the season came crashing down. This game will be a test to see how good we really are prior to the start of A-10 play. Havard's Jeremy Lin may be one of the best players we face all season. Dime has done couple articles about him. One on their near upset of UConn.

Preview: 12/22 @ECU

GW 7-2 @ ECU 5-6. 7pm

Notes:

• ECU leads the series 8-5.
• ECU and GW both have 6 Freshmen on the roster. Yet, none of ECU's freshmen have contributed.
• The C-USA Preseason media poll picked ECU to finish 11th in the conference.
• ECU has faltered against BCS and Mid-Majors this year. They lost to a talented Wake Forest squad by 30+, a ranked Tennessee team, @ A-10's UNC-C, at home to Clemson and to Northern Iowa. Their most impressive win to date is against UNC-Greensboro on the road. They have beaten 3 non-Div. I opponents.
• ECU relies mostly on the Guards to do much of the scoring but will turn the ball over consistently
• KenPom.com gives them a 31% chance to win the game.
• Vegas lists us as a 3 point underdog.
  

Key Players- ECU

• Brock Young, a 5-11 guard is averaging 15.1 points including a season high of 24 pts against UNCC. The Young-Taylor match-up will be exciting to watch as Taylor will have his hands full with ECU's Young. While he is averaging 6 assists a game he is also averages 5 turnovers a game. FKH predicts GW to intercept some of his errant passes as GW's press will ultimately allow GW to come away with the win.
• Jontae Sherrod who is 2nd on the team in scoring with 13 points a game also has trouble with turnovers. His A/T rate is an abysmal .79 for a guard. After a decent start, he has had trouble getting his shots to fall from the field. In his last game he played the entire 40 min while going 6-17 from the field following a 3-12 night against Clemson.
• Darrius Murrow is ECU's big man. He is listed as 6-8 250 lbs. He has been averaging 12.4 points while almost 7 rebs a game and shooting 60% from the field. Murrow could cause matchup problems for our lanky big men who have a tendency to get pushed around by wider men who shoot high percentage shots. Stopping Murrow from dominating inside on the boards will be important.

Prediction

• FKH is predicting a cool 78-61 win by the Colonials. We expect to dominate the game with fast break points and force turnovers. The 3 Keys to this game will be Hollis creating his own shot, creating turnovers, and stopping Murrow because their guards will get their points when they break our trap.
• We think the smart money goes on the underdogs.
  

Found: Matt Allbritton

We recently were wondering what happened to those players who had transferred from GW in the previous seasons. Well we found Matt Allbritton still playing college ball. He was a widely talked about player last year on other sites such as GWHoops.com. However, he is not at a D-I school. Despite press articles from news outlets in Texas, he is not enrolled at University of Texas- Pan American. We are not sure whether he did not make the team or if he decided to leave due to the coaching change at UTPA.

He is currently playing (and this is no joke) at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas. The school is in the so-called Red River Athletic Conference in the NAIA. The team is currently 3-6 and is scheduled to play an "exhibition game" against Centenary College which is an D-1 program. It will be interesting to see how the former Colonial performs against D-1 opponents.

Matt has been performing really well for SAGU. He is averaging a team best 13.2 points a game while leading the team in field goals made and three pointers made. In the last two games he is shooting 11-19 from 3 point range and is averaging a cool 20 points per game. You can track his team at Dakstats.com

It is evident that while he may have not been a good fit at an A-10 school, he can definitely play college ball. We hope Matt has a great season at SAGU and he continues to succeed on the court. It was not his fault that GW recruited him and we wish him all the best.

FKH is back!

Due to ridiculous substitution patterns by Hobbs, we have decided to come back regardless of the team's surprising record. While Hobbs does deserve some credit for this record, we FKHers would like to congratulate the players and Brian Ellerbe on being the main reason our GW Colonials have a winning record.


We would like to point out that during the Providence game, Freshman Sensation and over all good guy Lasan Kromah had 13 points at halftime. With 15 min left in the game Hobbs decides to yank Kromah out until 7 min left in the game Why was our 2nd best shooter riding the bench during a high-scoring game?

Did he think we were going to mcut a 13 pt deficit with a line up of Katuka, Pellom, Tony Taylor, Bynes, and Ware? If Hollis and Kromah dont play down the stretch, we will struggle to score 60+ against any DI team. The reason why Hobbs cant beat a BCS team is because he has a tough time differentiating between our best players and our scrubs.

Hobbs looking forward to another LOSING season.
