The Judge's Ruling!

[temery]

So, this makes 2 times I have been hung around this place.

First time by Deepster. Second time, a self judgement.

Worked both times.

And, please note, I did re-channel all the Mojo, last year.

I am the only poster to have been hanged twice. And the only poster to have 2 championships won.

2 for 2 ladies and gentlemen. 2 for 2. Not entirely sure how to characterize the purloining of the Mojo from last year, but that worked, too.

Everyone hated the Judge's decision this year and it was ignored. My self hanging went largely unnoticed. But still, it derived the outcome.

With that, you guys can find a new way to elevate the officials necessary to properly administer justice that works.

Unlike a certain ex-coach from Upper Tier Central New York Lake Effect College of the Snow Belt, I am deciding to go out on top.

I get it. You need to be hanged next year.

OK, let me make a few things clear, at the outset.

I am acting as Judge this year because Deepster is a crazy person and can neither president anymore nor can he keep his peanut butter and jelly contaminated fingers out of the delicate workings of the Mojo.

Last season was (as predicted) an utter disaster. Entirely thanks to ....well you guys all witnessed it.

Rule 1, No Whining. This judgement might not believe what folks have had in mind, but understand that it is deserved.

Shizzle, come on down!

The Huskies were 14-0. They were, without question the most feared team in the NCAA, beating all comers by double digits and on a pathway to go undefeated, and in the most dominating manner possible.

Then Shizzle made that cruelly anti-mojo post about the G League and the wheels came clean off.

For this and other egregious sins against the Mojo (which can easily be fabricated as necessary), be is to be hung.

His sentence is as follows:

On each game day of the NCAA tourney, plus the preceding and following days ( for you slow-in-tbe-head folks, this means Weds through Monday, this weekend) he must post no fewer than 3 times, with no upper limit on his posts.

Each post shall begin and end with a paragraph (minimum of 30 words) extolling the virtues and benefits of the G League, with specific reference as to how this applicable to or is exemplified by the player, coach or team being discussed in the thread.

That is a lot of posts, I know. And it will be a staggering amount of bloviating that we will be forced to read or at least scroll past.

But, damn it, the SOB ...... Look what he did! Not just to the team, but to each of us, too. Hell, I wish him a lifetime job working in the PR department of one of the G League team's .

Anyway, I think this could work.

Thanks for listening.

And can I have a volunteer to be the Hangman, as I have reason to believe that Swami is working full time, these days, as a twerker at Drag Queen Story Hour in Chelsea, MA.

Thank you for your service.

The mojo this run was simple.

It started with the $2 Miller Lite game and Cooley's post game presser with his whiny comments. Perfect pairing of cheap, accessible beer with a moniker we could all wear proudly.

“For the many arrogant fans out there that don’t think this is one of the best New England basketball games — Connecticut has been very fortunate to have some incredible teams and incredible coaches, and this fan base is incredibly spoiled,” Cooley said toward the end of his eight minutes in front of the cameras and microphones. “Appreciate winning. Appreciate that. There's a reason why them dudes are in the Hall of Fame, on the men’s and women’s side. Don't get arrogant with it. Appreciate it and try to get the next one. That's what an educated fan base appreciates, and that's what the Friars do.”

And then the stat dorks and the nerd retort all tourney long. Every win gave the stat dorks more numbers to crunch and shove down our throats. Even though we appreciated the info and knew it was relevant, the nerd gifs were the proper response.

That was it. That was the mojo.

I wore my Arrogant and Spoiled T-shirt for every game of the tournament. I thought the Cooley comments really brought everything together. The fans, the coaches, the players, we all rallied at that point.

Edit: I also stuck with my Haiku's from Shakespeare's Henry V, even though it got pretty hard there at the end.

Agreed, Chin.

Miller Lites? 36 posts into the thread "Providence Coach Admits $2 Beers Helped Fuel UConn Victory", I posted "If you don’t think Miller Lite has the Mojo attached to it, then you don’t know the Mojo. This years fuel just slapped you all right in the face."

Providence Coach Admits $2 Beers Helped Fuel UConn Victory

I have no doubt they made a pyramid with cans they collected from the trash. But I didn't hear about or see any cans thrown on the court last night. One student did throw an empty but it was during half time when the court was empty. The PC students were throwing them with 1 minute left in the...

Oh, and after that G League "sentence", I happened to toss Bill Murray into the Mojo cocktail and on the night we won our 5th title, there he is in a Joey California t shirt posing with Jonathan.

Oh, and let's not forget I was the one that had to slam my head into a brick wall to get you momo's to stop posting limericks.

Credit to ADub and the Math Nerds. They saw the wave and rode that as well.

Clear to me that this place missed me as Judge. This place needs me as Judge. I have officially un-retired and will be in full force next season for you all.

You're welcome for that and you're welcome for the 5th ring.

With a cameo from Bill Murray as a mojo bonus!

And I for one am officially announcing I am retiring from using the "Nerd" or "Nerds" gif.

It can be boxed, wrapped and a bow tie put on top and put in to the 2022-2023 BY time capsule.

I’m not sure about others but I tried my hardest to be as nerdy and dorky as possible by posting as many relevant stats as possible.

Sure my actual job suffered a hair and a vendor may, or may not have gotten a spreadsheet with all of SDSUs statistics in their monthly file to process for me but it was worth it.

Along with all other mojo trends from championships past!

Bill Murray was good mojo. It's up there with Winning. Nothing will ever beat Makers Muppets pampers thread.

I can’t wait for the banner unveil and opening night next year. Proud of these guys and the conference they play in.

[prankster]

So long as we are on the topic of the most championships in some one or another timeframe.

There have been a total of 5 hangings around here where we won it all.

5!

Prankster was hung for 2 of those.

Math nerds, do your thing with that information.

I'm just relieved that I don't have to write "I have spoken" or "This is the way" in any more posts. Exception being in this one.

We can finally get rid of doomed and all of that other stuff that was used during the underdog times. There were a handful of us that proclaimed this team was gonna be good early and got a good deal of shushing from the majority, But we didn't, we kept telling the naysayers and haters that they were missing a good season. And like we said back in November, the sooner you get on the bandwagon, the sweeter the ride!

In some ways it's nostalgic like twenty minutes and Hilton Units. In another way its a superstitious counter jinx against hubris.

But at some point it should be looked at like court storming. Successful programs fans need to act differently. Time to get rid of Doomed from our culture.

Blue Bloods don't drink Rolling Rocks or have chicken wing sauce all over their sweatshirts. Maybe Miller Lite and Bill Murray did possess mojo power this time around, but it looks like we might be at or near the top for awhile. So let's upgrade to top shelf booze and aged beef!

However, in as much as being the underdog in actual play can be put aside, our history in realignment cannot. Therefore, until proven otherwise, Rule #1 remains in play.
