Last year's SLU Game

We Sucked Last Year. We Just Stink this Year.

Thats All.

X gone. Joe next?

So X has left GW. The same guy who was named Oklahoma 5A MVP and was offered scholarships by BCS schools and decent mid-majors who would defeat the current GW squad without breaking a sweat. Granted X is a challenged offensive player who may have been the best player on the squad in terms of "taking the ball to the hoop".  Unfortunately his drives rarely led to points. He now leaves GW with a abysmal FG and a even worse FT shooting percentage. Yet even with his offensive shortfalls one can argue that he was one Hobbs' better defenders and a great athlete. 

Let's not focus on X but Hobbs. He has now "recruited" four players who have left GW for various reasons in the last 12 months.  Are there any other basketball program in the country have had four players leave school for reasons not involving "legal issues". I really doubt so. Not only is Hobbs playing musical chairs with the substitution pattern on the court but also the team's roster. How bad must have X been treated at GW if he CHOOSE to leave GW in the middle of the season. This rate has got to hurt our recruiting efforts. It also proves that Hobbs cannot recruit kids that (a) he can get along with (b) survive at GW and (c) play at a DI level (ex. shoot see Chey Moore, Beatty, X).

This brings us to our next question... who does Lord Hobbs kick off the island next.

FKH odds are listed below

• Jabari- 50-1. Sees very minimal playing time. rarely dresses up. Koundjia has dressed up more often this season than Jabari has.
• Johnny Lee- 25-1. He realizes Hobbs is an idiot and punches him in the face.
• Matty All- 250-1. He knows no DI program (including winless NJIT) wants him so he stays for the full ride.
• Opoku-150-1. Hobbs Loves Him still....I guess Hobbs has yet to see him play because he has been too busy kicking people off the team.
• Katuka- 8-5. Odds on favorite right now. Hasn't seen action in the last couple of games. When Jabari gets more PT, you must be in the doghouse.
• Hollis- 20-1. Says f*** you Hobbs. Leaves before season ends. Goes pro. Signs with a team in Europe. 
• Diggs- 300-1. If Hobbs ever kicked this man-child out of Foggy Bottom, he would most definitelyfollow.
• Hobbs- 2-1. Gets upset at himself for failing to catch a ball that gets deflected his way. As a result he banishes himself during the next timeout. GW goes undefeated the rest of the way as Diggs avgs 20/10 and Spoon helps him out with a solid 15pts 5 rebs 3 ast per game.

For Some Reason Karl Hobbs Plays Johnny Lee for the entire second half and GW blows a game they lead the whole way

The GW Men's Basketball team lost their sixth straight game today to the Duquesne University Dukes tonight, blowing a 70-60 lead with seven minutes to go and eventually losing 88-83.

It took a lot to lose this game, but Karl Hobbs figured out a way. Playing a 5'8 walk-on guard for the last ten minutes probably contibuted, as did the continuing random substitutions which made the entire game look like a game of musical chairs.

Our team showed flashes of brilliance again tonight, with Rob Diggs going off for 25 points and Wilmore and Witherspoon contributing sound games as well. However, at the end it looked as if the Colonials knew they were going to lose even before they let the lead slip away. There was no sense of urgency as the lead dwindled slowly and surely throughout the second half. A few missed clutch free throws by Lee and Diggs and a ton of wide-open threes for the Dukes sealed the loss in the end.

The fundamental question that comes to mind after seeing the Colonials play their best half of basketball this season and then just complete implode down the stretch is: Why did Johnny Lee remain on the court for the entire collapse. He is a great story, and a kind of cult-hero on GW's campus, but it is embarrassing for our team to have him RUNNING THE POINT during cruch time of an important A-10 battle. The moves made by our "coach" continue to baffle me.

GW....WE HAVE LOST 6 IN A ROW.....THIS IS NOT GW BASKETBALL......PLEASE FIRE HOBBS
