Congrats to the St. Joes Hawks. They deserve that gritty win. Fought the entire time and saved Billy Lange’s job after blowing that 15 point lead. I talked my shit and they made me eat my words. #HAWKYOU #HAWKEDUP #HAWKTUAH #MIKEHAWKHURTS

I thought the enemy of my enemy would be my friend. Are the Billy Lange Boys always like this and I’ve never noticed? #GoFlyers https://t.co/71d5hGQkV0 pic.twitter.com/3asndvZZMh

Now I didn’t even cast the first stone, that was Kinker. Somehow I got roped into it and after a couple whiny replies I had to add Dayton -1.5 to the card.

You want to know my favorite part of all of this was? Certainly not the game. That brickfest sucked. Both teams were finding the most creative ways to lose. Also, A-10 refs might be worse I’ve ever seen in college basketball. That foul call on Malachi Smith that sent Xzayvier Brown to the line to tie it late plus the inadvertent whistle in OT when SJU definitely should’ve been whistled for a 10 second violation were both calls that went against Dayton in a close game. My favorite part was discovering SJU burner Twitter and now I think I’m obsessed with them. The Villanova chirps I’m used to from the wine and cheese crowd are so boring. They’re all the same. Temple sucks. You wish you were Nova. One time I even had a guy brag they were 2x champs! He had no idea about 1985. But these guys? They’re unhinged. Pussy flies like a Diddy party. Nothing is off limits. They don’t care that they’ve been irrelevant since before most of them were born. And I’m pretty sure if you mentioned the name Phil Martelli they’d say, “The guy who coached Michigan?” So what they ride and die for Hawk Hill and we need passion like that in the Big 5. They made me eat my fucking words.

Look at my mentions. I seriously can’t get enough of these psychos. This is good for the game. Philly CBB needs this kind of hatred and bitterness:

I never knew I needed St. Joes burner Twitter in my life until today! Absolute psychos that eat, sleep, and breathe Hawk Hill pic.twitter.com/qzSg6d8xyA

The way they ride for Billy Lange you’d think it didn’t take four seasons for him to win the same amount of games that Adam Fisher has in two years. Alright that was one last low blow. Celebrate it tonight Hawk Hill in whatever fucking Manyunk bar you go to now that replaced Mad River. I already kind of love George Mason…
