Jared Billups for A-10 Defensive Player of the Year!

YES!!

 

[Where's the party?]

Congratulations to Jared Billups! The best defensive Patriot of all time. Well deserved recognition for the guys that works his a** off every game, and has shut down whomever they sic him on.

Gonna miss seeing him next year, but I'm so happy for him getting this award!

Mason Nation thanks you Jared.

Well, I'm certainly a believer that Jared is worthy of A10 defensive player of the year. However, my reading of that link is that it was an effort to support him for that award. The actual award wouldn't be announced until the dinner they have the evening before the A10 tournament begins. I believe that's when all the awards are announced (first, second, and third all-conference players, etc.).

We have been so very fortunate to see him over the past 2 seasons!

thank you for sharing. hope he ends up on skinn's staff someday like skinn was talking about.

as for the podcast itself, hopefully someone has told the host by now to cut it out with the mmhmms, etc. right into the mic while the guest is talking. made me want to punch the wall and the wall didn't even do anything wrong.

Hoping against Hope:

Billups gets an invite to NBA Pre Draft Camps on the basis of his defensive prowess.

That effort gets him a G League invitation.

Nobody in the NBA has any use for a player who plays defense, so he might as well look East.

Too bad the NBA isn't like it was in the '70s and '80s.

The Definition of "hoping against hope"

The phrase "hoping against hope" means to continue to hope for something even though it seems unlikely to happen. It reflects a situation where someone holds onto hope despite the odds being stacked against them. This idiom emphasizes the persistence of hope in the face of adversity, often used when there is little reason to believe that a desired outcome will occur.
