Look, we simply can not take this attitude. It's a loser attitude. This is one of those situations where the adage applies: Don't get bitter, get better.

We have no right to complain about Siena idiot posters or their high and mighty attitude. They have earned it. Our focus should be aimed solely at Peacock athletics and the various steps that need to be taken to even come close to the reaching the level at which Siena performs.

The simple fact is that Kenny Hasbrouck is much better than anyone on our team and he would easily be the second best player we've had in the past 10 years. We need to do the things that will allow us to recruit players like that. Now, Siena gets good players because they play in big arena with large, enthusiastic and dim-witted crowds. But, they have to have those things because they're located miles away from anywhere in a shitty part of the country.

We need to do the same things. We need to minimize our weaknesses (facilities, exposure) and maximize our strengths (location). We simply must either upgrade the Yanitelli Center or move all homes games to an upgraded Armory. We need chairback seats, a center court scoreboard and better sound.

We also have to do something to draw in more fans. We need to advertise, we need drum up support on campus. I understand the economy is pathetic right now, but it'll turn around. We need to be ready to go out and get those sponsors and advertisers when they're ready to spend money again. I hope, at the very least, some effort is being made to draw a crowd for the Marist game, which will be on television.

Our program is in shambles. We need to get our house in order now. The MAAC would have every right to kick us out. Rich Ensor is not going to be commissioner forever and that "charter member" bullshit is going to stop flying soon. For us to sit here and complain about Siena would be like Apollo Creed's fans complaining about the lack of class by Drago's supporters. Guess what, you guy is DEAD. The fight is over, you lost.

"Guess what, you guy is DEAD. The fight is over, you lost"

Is this an Apollo Creed or Obama quote?
