Husak Speaks

[zagsfanforlife]

hi guys,
So I realize that some of you might not like my name or what I posted earlier because it talked badly about the program. But hear me out. My grandfather went to Loyola Marymount, my dad went to Loyola Marymount, and I went to LMU. My family has had season tickets since I was a little baby. I grew up in Westchester my whole life and have been to numerous LMU basketball camps, and have not missed but 10 home games the past 15 years of my life. I have witnessed players such as Williamson, O'Douk sp?, Mashak, Cornell (I still dont know why he declared for the draft), Wyking Jones, Worthy, Knight, Ayer( ay ay ay), Pappadopolous (loved his name) and lots of players I have forgotten names of. So i would love to see LMU do as well as possible just like you guys would. But the fact is, what i said i believe to be true. How many WCC championships has Husak brought us? Very few. What basketball coaches has he hired? Olive, Aggers, Bradley and Tention I believe. Which one has panned out? Lets look at who Tention has recruited? Johnson and Diedrichs have potential but come on... who else Maynard? Craig? Sutton? Turner? Sweezy? I mean I am not speaking nonsense. The program needs a change. And it starts with your Athletic Director and coach. Husak is a bum, for God sakes. Those in the know realize the conspiracy surrounding LMU basketball. After Hank passed and all the legal ramifications and questioning that the school underwent occured, LMU basketball has not welcomed success. And Husak has bought into this theory that success is not always the best thing. Success brings news. And if something that we all hope does not happen, like a death, or a scandal, our program will get bad rep. And I think this is what he has feared. He has hired inferior coaches who are not experienced enough to develop a winning program. Husak himself is not at all committed to winning. When a school's WCC championship hopes rest on the softball team (nothing against them), something is wrong. Changes need to be made. I am sorry. But the truth hurts.
Regarding my name, I have become enamored WITH gonzaga basketball after witnessing Casey Calvary tip in a game winning basket to send Gonzaga to the elite eight in 1999 in Arizona. I have been a die hard fan since. But I still wish the Lions all the success. And as someone who has been so close to LMU basketball for so many years, I dont see it wrong for me to say my opinion. If you think I am wrong with whatever I have said, I am happy to debate with you on it. thanks

[lmu]

Let me ask you this. If zags play the lions, which team do you wish to win? Screw all the politically correct answer ok? Just answer it.

[zagsfanforlife]

ZAGS

[zagsfanforlife]

AND lmu, why are you trying to be an ass? I speak the truth. I am sorry the truth hurts you about the program. But changes need to be made. And that being said. Even though I am a bigger Zags fan than LMU fan, I would bet a large amount of money I know more about LMU hoops than you know. So dont get all whiney about how a Zags fan shouldnt be on the LMU board. I am a college hoops fan. I was raised an LMU fan by my father, but became enamored with the way the Zags play college basketball. They play as a team. They have built the program through a good administration and great coaches. The coaches started out recruiting those who love basketball, (so called gymrats), and those guys such as santangelo, frahm, and calvary built that team into what it is today. Now they are able to recruit with the big programs all over the country.
Just because I am a Zags fan, I think my history of family members attending LMU as well as LMU being my alma mater, I believe it is fine for me to post on this board. take care.

[lmu]

How the hell am I trying to be an ass? How about you being a traitor? huh? Have you ever thought of that? Why do we need a traitor telling us what to do? The reason you are taking heat from us is not due to your opinion but the fact that you are a TRAITOR! Get your sh*t straight.

Serving your grandfather and father real honor by jumping to the zags wagon, real proud of that, too!

[fanblade]

This is America, I think it is cool if someone wants to celebrate and support whatever team they want. I unfortunately am still holding onto my Baltimore Orioles.

But first and foremost I will always be a lion and am damn proud of that. We might be struggling now but I wouldn't count the folks on the bluff out by any stretch.

[zagsfanforlife]

i am a traitor because I fell in love with a team at 10 years old when I witnessed their gritty play in person? It is not my fault that after that they have gone to three sweet 16's and one elite eight appearance. Get your sh*t straight son.

[ironlions]

Support anyone you like zagsfan...just expect a bit of hostility on this board. Especially now, when things are bad, and LMU fans are pissed.

[lmutex]

Why are you even posting here? Last time I checked, there's a quite lively Gonzaga board. The last thing we need is another fan thinking he knows how to turn around a 4-22 program.

Via your posts, you're probably the type of person that tries way too hard to have friends.

[zagsfanforlife]

haha lmutex. I actually am an avid poster on Gonzaga boards, and I have many friends , thank you very much. But if you guys think Husak is doing an adequate job and that the LMU program is in good hands, then so be it. All i know is that I have attended more LMU games then mostly anyone on this board (excluding those who have not missed a game the past 10 years). And what I see with my two eyes is that the program needs changes. Like I have asked and no one has answered. How many WCC championships has Husak brought us? Please answer that. And as much as you can hate on me, I have supported LMU hoops for 15 years and am one person you will see at every game, including saturday verse pepperdine. So you all should be grateful that out of the 1000 + fans that actually show up to a game to support your team, I am one of them.

[lionspride]

Let the Zag/Lion fan be. He is only telling the truth as to the status of our program. Freedom of speech reigns.

[ironlions]

Husack is a sack of crap. He is just a mouth piece for a administration and athletic dept. that seems to be content of having our program wallow between mediocrity and laughing stock of the WCC.

[lmu]

Right...we should be grateful of you. A TRAITOR! You are asking us to appreciate you now? Wtf! are you out of your mind?

Anyone can question us but not you. Go kiss your matt bouldin's ass, we don't need you here!

[lmu]

I have no problem with zags fan. However, I have problem with a TRAITOR!

[zagsfanforlife]

once again. how am i a traitor? Because my family was raised LMU fans, and still are, but I chose at a young age to support the Zags? I think you just have a problem with zags fans in general not just me. and if you want to confront me on this, i will be sitting in the third or fourth row opposite from LMU's bench against pepperdine.. So come say hi to me.
