Seriously. They only show up to virtue signal after we accidentally do something good. The rest of us are here just chatting about the team in real time.

I guess you call those guys bandwagon fans, right? Don't hear a peep from them when the team sucks.

Glad I missed that one. Saw Arkansas had 108 with about 4 minutes left. That’s pretty much unheard of in college basketball…unless it’s a powerhouse against some small school. Pretty sure that says a lot about our team. We’d be competitive in the SoCon. Which is what Paris did…we hired a guy because of a buzzer beater against Furman in the SoCon Tournament. They miss that shot, he’s not our coach.

Did the same with Darrin Horn. Buzzer Beater in the first round of NCAA Tournament…beat another mid-major to reach Sweet 16. That’s all the clown did as a HC and we hired him. 1 missed shot and we never hear of Horn…or Paris.

It would be nice to hire a coach with multiple accomplishments, or at least a solid program for some time rather than a one-hit wonder that came from a miracle.

That was the case wasnt it?? This team and its coach seem to not even CARE whether they win or lose IMO..

Well, what’s worse is Arkansas really isn’t a powerhouse and we shouldn’t bee some small school. But the result certainly speaks for itself.

I don’t know how a team can let someone score like that on them. Brutal.

Everyone is missing the question that matters: Does Lamont Paris really want to be here? If he does then no issue. He’s the coach and that is not to be challenged.

Do you think our team understands they are being laughed at by the Arkansas players on every basket. I would think any major college team would stand up and fight a little harder when they’re basically being punked. I see fire in Ellis and Meechie. Sad

They are not good enough. Even good 4th Graders are not going to beat 8th Graders as you said earlier.

I think you are confusing “bandwagon“ with “diehard.”

A bandwagon fan could care less about a team UNTIL they win big. A diehard fan SUPPORTS the team whether they win or lose.

Sometimes showing support requires a fan to simply hold their tongue. There are diehard Carolina fans who have opinions but for their own reasons do not comment when the team is doing poorly.

I like to give diehard fans a pass. They actually care.

Lots of bandwagon fans consider themselves "diehard". They care a lot when the wins are coming.

Imo, the comment really wasn't about that though. It just outlines how some people only want to chime in when they think their point is justified, then are very absent when things dont end up the way they thought.

Typical message board stuff. Worth a chuckle and then moving on.

Yes, it's not just that they choose to remain silent when we're sucking and only come around to post when we win. It's that they come to post and call out and criticize all the folks who have been talking about the team all along. Then they immediately fade away again at the next loss.

They come off as meritless since they can't defend their positions except after a win.

I don't know if Ellis can play at this level. Maybe it is because he has no help, but you can't go stand in the corner and wait for the ball.

You need to watch the little things he does. His three-point shot will come back. He plays good defense. He gets rebounds. He gets steals. He has court savvy to get off shots. There is no help in our front court. And he can take people off the dribble, the problem is he has no one to pass to if a big man cuts him off. I hope he spends four years here.

And he's averaging almost 10 ppg as a freshman. That is not bad on this team.
