Seriously - can anyone explain to me why the student body loves so much to see Archie play at the end of blowouts? I don't get it - the guy's a turnover machine. Plays ugly ball.

He is the token end of the bench guy that doesnt player. Every team has one and when he gets in the game you know its over and if he scores the crowd gets even louder. Gives them something to look forward to in blowouts.

Archie is most likely to 1) TURN THE BALL OVER 2) DRIBBLE OFF HIS FOOT and 3) MISS A DUNK anytime he is put in a game. I hope we drop him for next year and get a JC wing this off season.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's a good player, I just understand why people cheer for him.

Stop sucking on the lemons and just let the student body have a little fun. Holy shit.

Hey - I never said they SHOULDN'T cheer for him. By all means - if they're doing it, we're up big, so I'm all for it.

I just don't understand why they don't cheer for Martineau or another similar end-of-the-bench player who doesn't suck quite so bad
