Johns Hopkins 2023

Lots of Jets fans still think it’s 1969. #DelusionalFanBase

I've never understood the theory that fans of bad teams are people who delusionally believe the team is actually good. Like, my general sense of Jets fans is the opposite. These poor souls are obligated through no fault of their own to watch 17 Jets games a year. I don't think they've somehow missed the part where the Jets are terrible.

Showing up to awaken them -- or Hopkins fans, or fans of any team enduring a long decline or losing streak -- from their delusions is like thinking you're doing a public service by going into prisons to explain to the inmates that the food there tastes bad. We know that! We eat this $#*t three times a day!

Goes down better w jelly or syrup.

I mean those 3 silver dollar pancakes of course.

What is lost is that it takes much more of a commitment to stay with a less successful team than one that has success. Completely lost on some.

Very much so and I am being dead serious now. I go into every Jet game wanting so badly to win but I know that our chances of winning any game is painfully low, but when we do occasionally win, it's a great feeling.

I always go back to Cornell 76, 77, 78 when the thought of actually losing a game was incomprehensible, and when we did finally lose game #43, in the 78 final, we Cornell fans didn't have a clue how to react as we just never lost.

The dichotomy between following a winning organization and a losing one is something for a PHD in psychology to study.

One of the top offensive guys in the portal (not Dordevic) is reportedly deciding between Hopkins, another Big Ten school, and an ACC school. We'll see what happens. Could decide to go elsewhere but the Jays are in the mix. He has no connection to Baltimore that I know of.

Ruffled is on the money as usual with some measured, nuanced sanity. Trolls come here to troll and then clutch their pearls when someone treats them as such. It'd be kind of funny if it weren't so pathetic. Just nothing better to do.

Completely wild, speculative guess:

Austin Madronic, Harvard attackman from Canada with box lacrosse experience?

I think he has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Connections to Milliman. Deco’d from Cornell when PM got the HC gig. Interesting dynamics

[DocBarrister]

You just compare a team that's won one playoff game in 8 years to an NFL team that's made 4 straight AFC championships winning two of those including a Super Bowl title? LOL.

Delaware wasn't much better attendance-wise, btw. Only averaged 830 fans per game (worse than CAA team Fairfield), which is pathetic for a school so close to the Maryland/Philly lacrosse hotbeds. Another program nobody cares about. We've won a playoff game this century, something the Hens have yet to do. So if we're losers for following Hopkins then what does that make you? You're following a team that literally hasn't won a game in the NCAA tournament since Ricky Martin's "Livin La Vida Loca" was topping the charts.

Jesus, you need to lighten up, Francis. I mean, damn...

Relax. Go take a bath. Call your mom and tell her you miss her. Have a beer. Something. Anything.

You've lost all perspective, dude.

My man parachuted in out of nowhere and called Hopkins fans "delusional losers" for caring about their team. If you come here to troll, you're going to get treated as one. Not sure why that's a shock. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

And he had the audacity to call us Jet Fans
Delusional losers. What the hell? We just won the Super Bowl 53 years ago and are on a bit of a slide right now , but we won 4 games last year and were competitive in at least 2 other games. Based on the rate of success for the Jets lately, we only have to wait until 2075 for our next championship. Things are looking up at 1 Jets drive.

I've never heard anyone recently make a case that Baltimore isn't a decaying crime ridden city. Including family members and friends that live there.

It's one of the most dangerous cities in the entire country. Just look at the data. And that's what gets reported. I'm not sure why anyone would even argue this.

charles village is perfectly fine according to the hundreds of mica, towson, goucher, loyola, and other coeds who frolic in the wild on the weekend seeking libations and company.

Considering people have gotten shot on Towson's campus, the possibilities of getting car jacked probably seem safer.

[NYterp09]

As for the mention of the state of Baltimore city and its relationship with recruiting at the end of the day I think that can be applied as globally to every recruiting situation as the notion that "everyone on Earth wants to go to big football U".

Does anyone actually say this or believe it? I've never heard it (and I did my graduate work at a big football school).

Anyway, we're at 5 pages; at this rate, by the end of the weekend this Hopkins 2023 thread will have more pages than the Delaware Blue Hens 2022 thread (which stands at 10 pages, in case you're wondering).

Give it a week or two and we'll have more pages than there are Cornell lacrosse fans in the world.

This says more about the tremendous amount of losers following a terrible team. It’s like the NY Jets fan page outnumbering the KC Chiefs and bragging about it. Lots of Jets fans still think it’s 1969. #DelusionalFanBase

You obviously don’t know a single Jets fan. No one understands how bad of a franchise the Jets are more than Jets fans themselves.

Two people were killed and six others wounded in a shooting in New Brunswick two blocks from the Rutgers campus less than two years ago. At least Baltimore has cool neighborhoods and stuff to do in addition to the bad parts. New Brunswick is just the latter. Awful town, nothing to do, rampant drug use among the student body because they’re so bored.

I’ve been a Jets fan my whole life. I wasn’t saying that Jets fans don’t know how bad the Jets are. We do. I was saying that would be extremely pathetic if Jets fans bragged about having a higher page count than another team when they suck so bad. Just so lame.

I'm starting to think you actually believe the things you type, and for that I am sorry. Can't be wrong if you don't listen to other people though I guess, so you got that going for you. These cool Baltimore neighborhoods you mention have fatal shootings too. If you want a link I recommend a site called Google. If you want to compare violent crime between the 2 cities, again Google. Also didn't see any data to support your random assertion that drugs are more prevalent in the Rutgers student body vs other schools. Even your own fan base has told you that you've lost all sense of reality. Honestly though, you're the reason I still read this thread. I love a good car wreck

Interesting that the Fells Pt. Green Turtle closed...........IS the cool area a "credit check" NO weed smoking, bs built, AND ...built on swamp land...certainly built on the FEMA flood zone......BUT climate change.....cool Federal Hill.

I've lived in both the New Brunswick area and Baltimore. I'd take Baltimore any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Baltimore has fun neighborhoods and lots of stuff to do for a college student. The best thing about New Brunswick is leaving it, to go to NYC or the beach. Have you been to New Brunswick?

Why haven't you moved away from Baltimore if it's such a cesspool and there are homeless people sleeping in your car? When you're not busy making up "5 armed suspects" right outside of Homewood, you're complaining about every aspect of the city you live in. Seems a little strange. Anyway, as a resident, you should know that Baltimore's crime issues — relative to other cities — is specific to certain neighborhoods, mostly in West Baltimore.

News flash, people get shot in cities. All of them. They contain multitudes. People get shot in New Haven and Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. and Charlottesville. There was a very, very high profile murder of a UVA student a few years ago. Seems weird to bring up a crime that happened in Towson as some point against the city as if that doesn't happen in a lot of places, including on his own campus.

Boards cover the windows of the famous Greene Turtle bar here. The place is open on this late Wednesday afternoon, but the place appears as if it is ready to close up tight and gird for trouble at any moment. Other bars are boarded up and closed on a Wednesday. Still more are like the Greene Turtle, sporting timber over their windows while remaining open for sharply curtailed hours under Batlimore's 10 p.m. riot-induced curfew.

In short, this fun section of Baltimore where people flocked to forget their problems is just another stark reminder of the devastating impact of Monday's riots. And judging by all the boarded-up bars, which grow in number as the businesses shut for another long night, it seems some here are still bracing for more unrest. This is despite the fact that Fells Point sustained no major damage or looting in Monday's riots.

Still, there is plenty of worry here that next time -- if there is one -- Fells Point and its high-profile reputation as the place for fun and a destination for tourists might not be so lucky.

What.....riots?

No wonder why Bloomberg wants to give GUNS to Hopkins cops.........

either way......Hopkins is done for the year. maybe the clowns at espn can have the "legends" play each other, start another tourney like hoops did.
