Really is unbelievable how much hate LU gets over there. I agree with the others--I hope we absolutely dominate conference and shut these clowns up (although they'd just fall back even more on the attendance argument in that case).

I try not to feed the trolls. Especially the one who just started posting on the MVC boardI'm not even sure he's actually a fan of any MVC school. If he is, he's a poor representative of its fan base.

Pretty sure it's the same guy who ran this twitter.

Given the tenor of this thread, this would be a great student section/general fan t-shirt for next year:
Obviously just a quick mock-up. When the schedule goes out, it would go on the back.

That said I will say I think we've gotten a lot more respect recently especially with the recruiting.

But we never get any respect from the local media....Porter's excellent recruiting efforts barely get mentioned while Illini and NU get headlines for lesser signs. And don't get me started on our student body.

Haven't posted on here in awhile but I am super excited by the potential of this class. Now it's time to win on the court to quiet the haters.

Anyways, glad Valpo got added. Hoping they go 12 next year with Murray St and another school but don't mind just 10 this year.

I took the bait and clicked on the link. I'm actually amazed someone from WSU hasn't shut this down or at least give him a cease and desist letter for using their logo as an avatar.

I found it hard to believe some of the comments about Loyola made by that troll on the MVC fan board.
It was fantastic that Blers was able to identify him. The only post he made after that was a stupid one where he tried to cover his behind. Great job Blers! My blood pressure dropped 30 points.

haha thanks! Usually when that crap pops up on the board it's better to subvert it than take a deep dive down troll avenue. Honestly most people who peruse the MVC board want nice discourse and will echo that all the negative stuff is pointless and tired... I love that this board generally isn't a trash fire of anger. I also echo what Riis said, that in general respect has gone up due to recruiting.

Also, big time props to Superfan on the shirt, that got a good laugh.
