Title: Mediocre in Manhattan
Post by: Dirty Mike on February 12, 2015, 07:30:09 AM: MEDIOCRE
adjective me·di·o·cre \?m?-d?-??-k?r\
of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance: ordinary, so-so

Am I the only one that isn't surprised that we are so rough ridin' mediocre? We have a roster full of mediocre recruits playing for a mediocre coach. My question for all of you is: Will we ever actually be good? Or does the location of our school and size of our city deter us?

Basically, does the problem lie with Manhattan itself being in the "middle of nowhere"? I think I was privileged to have been a part of the Huggins and Martin era...because I don't see us repeating the successes that we had.

Adjust your fandom accordingly...we are forever destined to be mediocre.

Our location on a map isn't as big a hurdle as excuse making dorks think it is
