2023 UVa Offseason Chatter

Since when is JPJ historic? Europeans laugh at Americans for us throwing out the word “historic” so easily. 17 years is not long enough to put “historic” in front of the building name.

I’ve posted this before… Europeans think traveling 100 miles is long distance while Americans think 100 years is a long time.

Hey Dave,
I follow the conference very closely and I saw what all of the teams did on their foreign tours. Most of them played lousy opponents. One coach said that the media would have been tougher to play!
Besides Post and Prince, I don’t know where their scoring will come from. JZ leaves a lot to be desired. Who do you think will step up this year?

Lmk,
Mike

Are courtside seats being reserved something new? That’s kind of gross.

I think it was like that in 2016, the only time I’ve ever been**. Basically, sit anywhere you want other than courtside

** since Midnight Madness in 1995

I think I went to that one. Was that when JJ and Coach Ryan had the shooting contest?

That rings a bell. Was on ESPN

Best one was when Woody Harrelson, Jaleel White, and Bruce Hornsby were all there (1993 or 1994?). Harrelson reportedly had a great night, and morning).

That must’ve been '95. Jaleel was Courtney’s Alexander;s buddy … unless he came with him on his recruiting trip?

I shook hands with Woody and Bruce that night; they were in a car off Rugby near Carrs Hill after the game. I would have thought it was 93, but I don’t trust my memory for stuff like that. I thought Jaleel came at a different time like around Spring Fling. I also heard that Woody had a good time.

Woody did 3 years when I was there and Bruce did 4. Or other way around. Mike Fratello was there one year. So 89-92 games

Yes Woody did good in Cville

I’d be willing to bet Woody does well wherever Woody is.

They also laugh at us for showering regularly, so not sure I give a shit what a bunch of smelly euros think about how we describe our gym.

Bruce did '99 too. Played a duet with Roger Mason.

Kind of a strange misnomer… perhaps some countries, but my German football teammates find it repulsive to leave practice without showering, or games, or anything.

… and yes I know the stereotype. It is definitely wrong. :slight_smile:

The Ryder Cup is in a couple weeks. Europeans don’t shower.

That is one long dude. Barely bent and his hand is like 8 inches from the ground. An avatar as @IAmBallHawk would say.
