To Tom from Bayside; Heard your call-in to FUV and you should be embarrassed; the announcer could hardly believe you and neither could I; to criticize the enthusiasm for this year's team the way you did stating that "13-16 is not anything for any Fordham team to be proud of, etc." was so far off the mark, so lacking in historical context of which you are keenly aware, and so curmudgeonly and glass half -emptiness that it was actually sick. You are exactly the type of alum that we do not need right now or ever- you are shallow, bitter and short-sighted- truly pathetic. Don't bother coming along for the ride -you're a stick in the mud. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

I thought his comment that "Bob Hill had the team at 14-15 five years ago" was pretty strange. To their credit, the WFUV hosts did not let him get away with that ridiculous garbage. (NT) -- RAM71, Sat March 12, 2005 18:42:35
Didn't hear it, but I'm guessing "Tom from Bayside" is really "Cameron from Kentucky". Highly selective memory from this guy. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Hill. (NT) -- Ram '91, Sat March 12, 2005 19:35:41
I'm usually not so paranoid, but Bayside is in Queens -- the home borough of a certain red stained team. (NT) -- bfg, Sat March 12, 2005 21:31:15
- I had the same suspicion when I heard the comment. (NT) -- RAM71, Sun March 13, 2005 10:58:49

- He called in at about 3:50. (NT) -- RAM71, Sun March 13, 2005 13:01:29
Bob Hill was ATROCIOUS. To compare DW's 13 win season after having to clean up Hill's mess to the 14 win season that Hill had (that should have been MORE with the 12 win team he inherited with all starters returning the year before) is just idiocy. (NT) -- ..., Sun March 13, 2005 20:39:36
