Fresno @ WYO

So going after a player when they are struggling and you expect them NOT to feel like they are being attacked? Especially after a tough home loss? Question, are you sober when you do this?

If "Hankerson should be benched"...which, BTW, had no twitter handles in the tweet, meaning the players are searching their names on Twitter, results in Nance telling a fan he's stripped him of his fanhood, I'd hate to think what those players would say about some of the things posted here on WyoNation.

I think Shyatt needs to take twitter away from the team during the season. Seems like they care more about tweets then they do the game.

If they want to tweet so much they can either do it at some other school or wait until the season is over to worry about twitter.

Sad. Nance, Adams and players calling out fans on Twitter. I rest my case. Stay away from social media players. The fan's tweet said, "Hankerson needs benched." Is that attacking a player? I personally didnt think that was attacking Hank. Just voicing opinion. This is a spiral. Social media can be a blessing and a cursing for players and fans.

Be above the fray, players. Stay focused.

Here's an important life lesson for these kids - they need to grow a little thicker skins. If they can't take criticism from fans, then perhaps they should take djm19's advice - stay away from social media. Focus on the problems on the court and don't worry about what some yahoo posts on twitter. Christ, if they can't take a little heat at this level, what the hell are they going to do if they get to the next level? Can you imagine Nance or Adams going to New York to play in the NBA and pulling this kind of shit on twitter? The fans would run their collective asses out of town.

Oh, and I'm sober by the way.

Exactly. I'm sure they are reading this. I guess I'm just getting old, used to seeing a little criticism and thinking "meh." Too many sensitive people any more. One ounce of criticism suddenly = not a fan?

Heaven forbid any player gets to the next level and have a 100k fans on their case.

We love ya Nance, Adams, and Hank. But tonight's loss was a kick to our nuts too. Hurts us too. Many of us were fans before you were born. We have faith in you. We cheer for you. We equally get frustrated at times with you. Doesn't mean we are wrong or right.

Make a tourney run and all will be ok

Not sure if this is relevant. But I believe hanks slump started ever since he did get on Twitter.

Right? And geez...."Hankerson should be benched"....the horror. The way they're reacting, you'd think that kid cursed someone's mother to hell or something.

I bet the guys get a talking to tomorrow morning.

Its poison

 

[gopokes1399]

Dude posted a 3 word tweet... and followed it up with some revealing stats... Hank is 19% in last 9 games from field and 12% from 3..

These players are so focused on a 3 word tweet, when there are 50 similar ones saying hank needs benched... You have bigger problems than social media right now... your season is on life support, might want to get your head on straight and focus on it because if you don't it'll be over sooner than later

Not sure if this is relevant. But I believe hanks slump started ev. since he did get on Twitter.

The players can come to his defense (which is fine), but it is a fact that Cooke and Hank are posting some pretty drama crap on Twitter all hours of the day. Each to their own, but as a fan, it's frustrating AS HELL seeing irrelevant tweets right before huge games. Frustrating. As. Hell.

What players don't see is people (fans) risking their lives on crap roads, spending thousands a year to attend games, donating money to their athletic careers, and keep coming back for more.

There is more than physical preparation to a game.

The fan on twitter is an idiot for continuing to argue, but turn the other cheek players. Be above the social media dumpster fire. And if you must chase tail tonight, don't let us fans know about it because this loss tonight stung. A lot.

 

[djm19]

Jrod, lighten Twitter up with some norm chow stats.

 

[J-Rod]

Hahaha I'm shocked that kid hasn't deleted that tweet yet. If he hadn't already responded I'd wonder if he would be waking up to a bad surprise lol.

 

[djm19]

Wonder if I'm next in crosshairs. I did say the loss was ugly (true), and free throws and turnovers screwed us (also true).

Where is Lieberman? Dude been shootin' pretty pretty good lately. Spread the floor some.

I commend him for leaving it up... Players are just embarrassing themselves not,

Trey Washington threatened him

Yeah, I'm sure glad I braved I-80 tonight... not.

You make valid points and if I was a coach in this day and age I would seriously consider limiting my players on social media as much as possible. Just nothing good can come of it really. You either get too high after a win or too low after a loss. If I was a 21 year old I'd be defending my teammates from fans as well, but I probably shouldn't be there in the first place.

No doubt. I don't get why the bench players didn't see more time. Jason Mac would have contributed more tonight. Yeah I get it, hank plays great D blah blah. You know what we needed tonight? Points. Hanks guy was scoring even with the great D. We needed offense. Mac is shooting better right now than Hank. Lieberman has shown lately he may be exiting his funk. Give him some minutes. Shit Aka Gorski is more consistent right now and he gets pulled for missing one shot. I don't get it. None of those guys could have hurt our chances worse...

Check out Derrick Marks twitter. Last time he posted was October 13th it looks like.

Maybe that's why he is going to get player of the year and Boise is winning. He doesn't care about social media this time of year. Guess he must be focused on basketball.

Not Wyoming's players though. They like to fight fans on twitter. Smh....

Shyatt needs to shut it down.

Can you blame them? I would too.
