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.

Personally, I enjoy watching solid effort from young men who I know will be shaped into upstanding men. Mediocrity is for the savages that only want to win.

Well said IMHO.

In 2015 "middle of nowhere" is the worst excuse I can think of. UCLA, St. John's, Boston College, and Marquette would love to have the basketball success of Gonzaga, Kentucky, Iowa State, and North Carolina over the past few years.

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

All of Kentucky and North Carolina are in the middle of nowhere by my standards.

Spokane, WA has a population over 210,000. It's not that small of a city.

while the rest of you hayseeds are relying on a traditional internet connection, I will be acquiring internet pornography at speeds of over 1 gigabyte per second along with all of Mike, Mark and Roy's upcoming recruiting classes
