What has happened to this board?

Somewhere up above in this thread Huskybass dropped a serious Milli Vanill lyric. And nothing happened.

If this was the Golden Age of the Boneyard that would never have been accepted and a rope would have been thrown up and over the nearest rafter.

MAYBE the OP has a point.

I miss the hangings- so simple yet so satisfying.

Selby?

Probably a bit of evidence to support the original post.

Clearly this thread hit a nerve as it flushed out of hiding both Deepster and Swami.

Ricky wasn't villified as a senior. Just the opposite. He reached deity status when he destoyed Mateen Cleaves early in the year and stayed there as he shut down guard after guard. Other fans would visit pregame to talk about how good their lead guards were and we'd explain to them that their guy was about to be locked down. At one point Al McGuire said of Ricky "he puts an elephant in your head", which didn't make much sense, but we adopted it as our mantra. He might have been more beloved than Khalid and Rip.

His sophomore year was another story - he was Rickety. Couldn't stay healthy when he wasn't suspended. Struggled in leadership role on a young team and took the brunt of our angst over our plunge into NIT status. Some nights we struggled to score 50 points.

As a junior, it was a mixed bag. Khalid took over the reins and we won 30 games, so there was less angst. Some still lamented he couldn't shoot, some already appreciated what he brought in his stopper role and ability to push tempo. We were more concerned about Rash's season-long shooting slump after losing his starter role, and Jake's inability to provide post scoring.

My post was meant merely to solicit a laugh or two. Any Milli Vanilli reference is so preposterous, that it is clearly for entertainment purposes only. Girl you know its true.

Whoever replied about Ricky Moore posts pre 3/29/99 was spots on (I think it was tzandrew).

People here were brutal ... Until 77-74. The very same people had better hope I never create an archive of their posts.

If I ever meet Ricky Moore, I will personally apologize on behalf of the 'yard. The same goes for pretty much every former player.

I've received several email over the years asking if former players have ever posted on The Boneyard. Not that I know of (Justin posted once, but that was before he graduated, I believe) ... I know of no player who hasn't been brutalized at one time or the other. I have no idea why they would post here. Would you?

He was "Rickety" Moore until 3/29/99.

He was "Rickety" Moore until 3/29/99.

He shed that nickname before the championship game. He was beloved his senior year - shutting down Cleaves to start the year (and then everyone else), willing us to the comeback win at St. John's, etc. Put an elephant in your head, cut off the head of the dragon - those were Ricky-related expressions. He actually tired himself out in the first half on 3/29/99 by killing it on both ends - let Langdon make a couple threes late in the half (maybe his only brief defensive lapse of the whole season). But he was replenished at the end, fortunately.
