In my 5th season at Nova I made the NT and got through to the second round. Since then I have made 17 straight NT's, with 5 Elite 8 appearances, 3 final fours (made the last two back to back with no Sr's on the roster) and last year lost in the championship game on a last second 3. So really 6 seasons total at Nova before I was competitive. In that time I have had 20 players drafter, including the first overall pick, and several All-Americans. Not to toot my own horn, but I really think my history at Nova is an example of how anyone could succeed at high DI with some hard work and understanding of the game. Nobody ever gave me spreadsheets (I made my own), nobody every gave me advice. I didn't even know about the forums until waaaaay into my career. Just good old fashioned hard work and competitive nature.

Also, Mike, you should read my rants. They are generally hilarious, informed, logical, and devastatingly handsome.

Uh, no. It was a race to the top. I was involved. The better owners beat me to Duke, Kentucky, etc. And, when I arrived, beat the **** out of my VaTech team. And got all the best recruits to ensure they beat the **** out of me next season. I played 4 seasons of that, made marginal improvement and decided to play HBD because you really did have the same resources when the season started.

FWIW, this is a sim game. You should probably calm down just a tad. It's not worth having a stroke over. Seriously.

You again state the problem so well. You got to a big 6 school, couldn't figure out how to play, and quit. Millennial. I got to a big 6 school, I figured out how to play, and I succeeded. Now you are back, and are super stoked that they changed the rules so that now you don't need to learn to play because everyone is exactly the same and nobody has any advantages.

FWIW--you have posted a metric crap ton more than me (literally 845X MORE than me, you have over 40k freaking posts!!!), so I am a little worried you might be on your death bed with how concerned you are if we go by your logic. Otherwise, I can only interpret it to mean that once again you don't have an answer and are doing your best to deflect.

Also, how close was I on the age guess? Also also, did you play left back when you earned your soccer participation trophies? I bet you did....that is where they put kids who can't compete but who's parents get really upset when they don't get any PT.

Mikes n his 40s. He's pretty much an anti millennial.

And aaying everyone under 30 doesn't want to work for success is pretty much a dick move. And wrong.

I disagree. I can count on one hand the number of people under 30 I know who work hard. I worked in academia for 8 years before leaving for the private sector. I taught a range of courses (at a major basketball university) and was utterly shocked and dismayed at the entitlement displayed by my students. When the did poorly on a test, I would invariably get a phone call from their parents, screaming at me "We pay your salary, how dare you give a low grade to my special little snowflake". I got sick of the weekly phone calls, the students who would come into my office and cry like babies because they got a C on a paper, hoping I would change the grade (when I wouldn't, I would then get a phone call about that from their parents). When I started seeing the behavior creeping into the incoming graduate students, I left and started a small business in town so I could get even with all these spoiled little fops and their helicopter parents by duping them out of their money. So far it has been a colossal change for the good. But back to the point, 99% of people under 32 that I have encountered are entitled brats that wouldn't know how to work hard if their life depended on it. Call me a dick if you want (I really can be a dick when it comes down to it), but my position is based off of extensive experience, and not wrong.

You seem friendly.

post of the year

I guess I wasn't clear.

Read the threads. You'll see where the "name pointing", whatever that is, started. I'm not concerned with what people "have had it" with. They are free to NOT read or NOT participate. I certainly have done my share of trash talking or whatever you'd like to call it. I will continue to do so. Maybe you should vote again. How did that work out for you?

Seriously, I don't care what you want. I don't care what you don't want. I don't care for your opinion. Simply put, whatever you have to add, does not matter to me. It takes longer to respond than to ignore.

Now, as one who uses "name pointing" as a description of something, do you think maybe you've had one drink too many tonight?

More clear?

LOL. Nice edit, zorzi.

Punk

Meh. I gave you a couple of posts. Summarizing:

Hard work
Put in time
Lazy millennial
Handed it you
I look cool holding a dick

You might be funny. That would be nice because that is SEVERELY lacking in this forum. But, in your funniness, could you just be a tiny bit more brief? I'm lazy. I need my funny quick.

Maybe lead with funny then the other stuff. Or, better yet, lead with funny, other stuff, funny, other stuff. Play to your audience. Make me read it all so I get the full funny.

....post count unless I stop typing paragraphs.

I'd much rather interact with someone who has a sense of humor than stick-up-his-*** zorzi.

If you prove to be funny, I'll buy you a season when you run out of credits. Or, if you'd like to dominate n00bs, and be funny, join the Little East in Smith. 11 owners from MG-HBD. We're funny and like a good one from the outside.

By they way, your summary pretty much nailed me in near Haiku form. If it's alright with you, I think I will start using that on my resume.

I'm pretty funny.

This one time in Buffalo on Halloween, I did a keg stand and when these random party goers lifted me in the air the pants/underwear on my costume slid up and my weiner popped out. I didn't even stop, I just kept going. I have a picture of it.

True story.

If I get some credit when you land that big, multi-million dollar job. Or cash. Cash is better.
