The Relatively Short Good Bye

Congrats! So, I guess if you believe the underground rumors that you and PurpleGeezer are really the same person, you aren't going anywhere....or wait does that mean that PG is also accepting a new job??? I'm so confused.

Ha ha... hey now, you know I bleed purple. They tossed me a shirt and sure, I'll root for USF against Pepperdine or whoever it was they were playing.

You ARE confused. It's been well established that DTR and Stoney are the same person.

As to accepting ANY job... shoot me first.

Oh no... The Geez's consipiracy theory is that Mr. S. House and I are one in the same, a one person good cop/bad cop routine unto itself. I personally think Purplegeezer is really Sir Francis Bacon. Call it the Baconian Theory...

I see...wait, but, Stoney doesn't like Pliney and DTR does... Maybe it's DTR and PG who are the
same. Hmmm...

Thanks for all the posts over the years. If you still get to wear a cool headset and watch games for free it won't be so bad. Getting paid to watch the Pilots is awesome, as some of us know.

DTR has just outed himself as Harry Stratford Caldecott. I am NOT old enough to have written the William Strachy letters.


NOT! NOT!

Mmmm . . . bacon!

Sorry, lost my train of thought for a minute. Stoney, what's the deal? If you hang around the campus long enough they wear down and give you a desk?

Best wishes for a long Pilot career.

Hmmm. maybe they are grooming Stoney to be Fr. Beauchamp's replacement upon his retirement...

If so I should like to think the Pilot Fight Song would go off in the middle of board meetings...

Any advice you can give to a current student trying to bring passion to the lesser attended sports and extremely lucky to have arrived on campus when I did while wishing to acknowledge those who have raised all kinds of shenanigans on opponents through the tougher years but still had more passion that the opponents, will be welcome.

Hopefully we can meet every so often to develop plans to help fill the stands with passionate fans!

Don't worry about the bell tower chiming every 15 minutes; you get used to it....

I hate to say it, but, the teams' success in the long term is going to do that more than anything. If UP can get behind women's soccer, they can get behind a winning basketball team as well. We just need to establish a tradition year in and year out and create a more positive association with the sport. If we can do that, then the fans will definitely come.

When I was a student, Erik Spoelstra was our point guard, and quite frankly the team was miserable to watch. Guys were hitting other players in the backs of their heads with passes on the fast break, and students were accustomed to seeing the team lose. That persisted for years and years. Coach Chavez had some brief success, but, then the team struggled again up until now. Though it seems like we're turning the corner, I do have some skepticism about how we'll be for the rest of the season and into next season when TJ and Raivio are gone. We rely on this backcourt so much for our success...

In other words, I think that there is actually a suspension of disbelief among the students and the fans. So, many of us...including myself still say to ourselves, "Is it really possible that we're good?" Meanwhile the attitude of Gonzaga students is: we know we're good, we've been good for years, and we're going to continue to be good. Rev needs to establish tradition over more than one season for the attitude to change and for the students to come. We can't win a big game and then lose 2. There does have to be a little bit more consistency over the long term. I'm cautiously optimistic that there will be.

Peace.

So, maybe this is a good time to ask. What's the significance of the screen name "Stonehouse?" Is this about a strong house or foundation...like in the three little pigs? Where does the name come from, dude?

Peace.

"A HUGE Kyle Stonehouse fan. That man could foul out of a game like none other."
