Funny how nobody has addressed the fact that Marquee Poole claimed Tim was the GM. Now there' a real smoking gun!!! No word from Timmy. No apology. No explanation. No character. No heart. Then again what do you expect from somebody who could never shoot straight to begin with. Not to be called a Wet Blanket anything, but sometimes The Truth Hurts. Now there's a reason that I play connect the dots with this person's screen names over the years. The poster has a deep rooted dislike for Bonas and Bonnie Basketball and makes it a point to skew events and occurrences to fit an agenda. In 1992 when Jim Baron returned to take the helm is when the poster started ranting and railing. His dislike for Tim Winn was evident by his posts back when Winn was leading the charge in 2000. When Bonas climbed out of the black hole of basketball to reach the NCAA's the poster found fault there and when Baron tried to better his lot in life and get away from the bureaucracy and BS that was surrounding him with a corrupt president this poster often maligned him. It is often thought that TruthHurts/FroMunga/remus is a JVBK supporter but this poster supports any paradox that could portray St. Bonaventure or Bonaventure basketball in a negative light. Therefore when Bonaventure reached it's most recent pinnacle in 2000 by reaching the NCAA's and testing Kentucky the mission was to tear down and mock the people and events that built this accomplishment. When Bonaventure got caught in the scandal, the MO was clear...praise and elevate the folks that were directly responsible for the embarrassment, pain and suffering caused to the University and maximize ROI from posts that flicked at the scab. In a nutshell tear down Bonaventure's accomplishments and praise folks that cause us embarrassment. Once you know the agenda and the three different screen names are connected helps one to better assess the biased slant that this person represents.

Dem, do you get your info from Baghdad Bob? Your dossier on me couldn't be any further from the truth. For one, I don't recall using the internet back in 1992, which is when I supposedly started ranting and railing. When the first statement you make is discredited so easily it's hard to take the rest of your post seriously.
When have I praised and elevated anybody that was caught in the scandal?
While you conjure up conspiracy theories, I present the cold hard facts of Timmy's latest actions. Interesting how you conveniently ignore said facts and instead try to prove I am somebody that I'm not. I could have sworn the title to this thread is "Where's Winn". I know I've asked politely in the past but can you please try to stay on topic. Thanks.

For one, I don't recall using the internet back in 1992 Not to intrude on this battle but I didn't think Al Gore invented the Internet until like 1994.

Baron returned in 1992---Winn didn't do an 8 year stint at Bonas but when your first Truth Hurts character arrived you made sure to badger both of them.
First the Truth Hurts attacked Winn, the Bonnies and Baron.
Then FroMunga praised the Wicks and JVBK
and now remus attacks Winn again...you've come full circle.
No conspiracy just a synopsis of your multiple persona and your very transparent agenda.
I mean if you struggle with who you are and why you feel the way you do...then you're the Baghdad Bob denying the undeniable.
And this has everything to do with staying on topic...I'm dead focused on exposing while you may hide behind multiple screen names to lash out at Baron, Winn and Bonas....your message and mission is as unchanged now as it was when Truth Hurts first reared its anti-Bona head way back when.

Naw...I've been on the Internet since mid to late 80's...used to be able to connect to University of Minnesota's computer and back door all the way to SBU's mainframe. UMinn was one of a few higher ed institutions that formed the backbone of the original Internet with their supercomputer clusters. The Internet command/protocol for reaching other mainframes was called Gopher (the mascot of UMinn) and it was a macro/command line invoked that searched out other connected institutions. I think other clusters were at UCal Berkley and maybe Arizona. I don't know how a senator from Tenn claimed to invent it but clearly the grandfather of these computer clusters had their underpinnings at colleges in the 80's. I know UTenn later had Cray or some other supercomputer and perhaps he lobbied to fund UTenn and thus his claim stake in the Internet. And it was all text back then...no images...someone in Computer Sciences at SBU used series of keyboard slashes-dashes to make a resemblance of the bell tower from outside the Friary...very crude by today's standards, but recognizable by folks who knew the tower. There was no Bonnie Bandwagon back then and the home page gave a brief schedule of when students reported/semester breaks/finals schedule etc.

Then FroMunga praised the Wicks and JVBK FroMunga praised the Wicks?!?!?! Yet another one of your fallacies. Keep 'em coming Dem, your argument has more holes than a sieve. Don't worry, I'll keep pointing them out as you provide them. I have no idea about what Truth Hurts did or didn't do, as I don't recall ever seeing anybody use that name, but I know referencing it gets you all hot and bothered. Now Dem, I've played your little game and allowed you to take this thread off topic. I've stated the facts and obviously the Truth Hurts, and the only way you can deal with the pain is to make wild accusations of who I am. Usually this is about the time the whole thread gets deleted because you've managed to turn into a discussion that nobody cares about. People click on the thread to read about "Where's Winn" and instead they're going to see your irrational disertation as to who you think I am, and quite frankly that isn't very interesting to anybody.

Funny remus...you appear shortly after FroMunga receives a suspension...claim to know him and will pass on information to him because someone asked what happened to Fro and you're familiar with Truth Hurts.
Maybe Peter Parker just takes pictures of Spiderman too!!!!
And all of us idiots on the Bandwagon, we're to believe that all the knowledge you have of the goings on of the Bandwagon are gleaned since your May activation.?
Co-inkydinks----nahh
Where has the topic gone off thread....I'm challenging your character assassination of Winn because of prior bias...people reading the thread need to know of your previous and current bias against all things Bonas when judging the merits of your argument.
Your denial of these connections to former screen names and your anti-Bona agenda are not only implausible but comical at best.
The tit/tat rebuttals are most Fro-esque so when you attack Winn to make a fair assessment I offer your past-life track record as proof of your Bona muck raking tendencies.
I've smoked you out again and that is certainly Rich---

I've played your little game..... You've said it to me, to Sneakers to a lot of people----just like Fro used to. Another piece of the puzzle snaps into place and with it a much clearer picture to those of the board of your unbridled hatred for all things Bonas.

Dem
Nice connecting of the dots. How would someone who just came on the Board recently know if Fro praised Wicks or not? He seems offended by the suggestion (nicely laid trap btw, as Fro did praise JVBK, but not Wick)! The give away was all the patting-his-own-back that Remus did about the exposure of what he thinks is a scam, as Spils noted on the previous page. That is totally a Fro trademark.
I might be dense, but I still don't know what Remus thinks he exposed here.
Did the Rapids change their names to the Silverbacks (horrors!!!)?
Did Winn move on to a new opportunity apart form the Silverbacks (shocking!!!)?
Does the Silverbacks sell tickets to customers who donate them to help underprivileged children and keep the proceeds to help them stay in business (like many other sports franchises do) (how cruel!!!)?
Is/was Tim the GM as someone else posting to this Board claimed or not (only his hairdresser knows for sure!!!)?
Is a minor league basketball team struggling to sell tickets (who'd have ever thought?)?
Good job Truth Hurts/Fro/Remus for exposing this all to us. What ever would be do without you?

Just to set the record straight, Al Gore never claimed that he "invented the internet" nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way. The "Al Gore said he 'invented' the Internet" put-downs were misleading, out-of-context distortions of something he said during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "Late Edition" program on March 9, 1999. When asked to describe what distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part): "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. " Clearly, although Gore's phrasing was clumsy, he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet in the sense of having designed or implemented it, but that he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the technology that we now know as the Internet. To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the "invention" of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing which the Rove/ Bush camp is known for. Gore never used the word "invent," and the words "create" and "invent" have distinctly different meanings — the former is used in the sense of "to bring about" or "to bring into existence" while the latter is generally used to signify the first instance of someone's thinking up or implementing an idea. (To those who say the words "create" and "invent" mean exactly the same thing, we have to ask why, then, the media overwhelmingly and consistently cited Gore as having claimed he "invented" the Internet, even though he never used that word, and transcripts of what he actually said were readily available.)

hnk37343 I'm guessing you voted Bush both times I know of the play on words for political gain in the Internet invention debacle. That's why I spoke of UTenn's Cray and their involvement in the early web ring of universities with financial resources large enough to have capabilities to link up. Perhaps Gore got them those funds. Hey Gore uses a Mac, an iPod and a Palm organizer...not bad for a wooden stiff...of course Tipper has a parental block on some of the R-rated songs in his iTunes Library

OK. So you think it would be better if people said that "Gore claimed to have created the internet"? I understand there is a small difference, but I think the significance may be lost on the general population. If it makes you feel better though, I personally will no longer make fun of Gore for having claimed to invent the internet, but rather I will make fun of him for claiming to have "created the internet". How 'bout those Bonnies???
