Thank you to the Team

Niang for player-coach ala Jackie Moon style

 

[CEO]

Pedro Cerrano style!

Straight ball I hit it berry much. But curveball, bats are afraid.

I love this team. This group of young men will use this to become stronger and increase their potential. Did you see McKay draining 3 balls on twitter last night? Awesome!!!

Loyal sons, forever true.

Forever, until the Bulls come knocking.

Translation: "Please don't leave if Fred leaves."

I bet right now you are as giddy as a girl being touched for the first time.

I think this line was in Like a Virgin by Madonna.

Love this team already. Hopefully this will bring them togethor like no other and for those worried about narrative.....well this is a great one. These guys are what's keeping me sane right now!

Season tickets renewal was the highlight of my week. Is it November yet?

Speaking of the team, I'm not worried about next year in the sense that I think we have a bunch of guys that want to not only go out and win for each other but for a fan base they've embraced. But.... the 2016-17 year really worries me. And I'm not just referring to all the quality players that will graduate, but the 'type' of players that we lose. Guys that are proud to be Cyclones, love playing in Hilton, and often quoted as having 'the best coach', etc. Hopefully we'll still see that continue. But, frankly, who will be left to get the next batch of newcomers to buy into that same feeling? Thomas? Noskowiak? Babb? Thinking it will be a two year rebuilding process after next year.

2016-2017 was going to be rough even if Fred was here.

Players and coaches will come and go. The only constant is the magic and the fans.

I do not agree...the Magic started with an up tempo style of basketball (JO) and died slightly with a slower type of play (TF), even when we were winning. Then along came GM and the Magic almost died completely.

Depends on your definition of "rough". If Monte is here I'd say that's a tourney team no matter what else happens. If not that could still be a tourney team with Burton, Thomas, Cooke core.
