Goodbye Luke


Finally, tonight is senior night for Notre Dame basketball and we can say goodbye to Luke Harrangody. Luke, in my eyes, is the worst All-American and Big East Player of the year EVER. He is an absolutely terrible team player. He is not even a great scorer or rebounder, especially for his size. I will agree that he scores several points and has quite a few rebounds, but for a player his size and "fame", he is far behind where he should be. He may be the worst player to ever play for Notre Dame. Notre Dame is a basketball team that needs all role players playing their specific roles. Whenever the team has a supposed star on it, they struggle mightily. This has never been more true than with Luke Harrangody. He is a massive black hole for their offense and is the main reason that they have lost every game that they have lost over the past four years. Also, he finds it absolutely necessary to shoot fade aways and crazy falling away layups instead of using is massive size to pound down low and just put the ball in the rim. He is the only bull who runs into the china shop and manages to tip toe around everything and not damage a single plate. He may have been the primary reason they have won a few games, but I guarantee that he is in fact the reason that they lost every game they have over the past four years.

My point, which I have proclaimed for all four years of his basketball career, has been proven over the past few games where the Irish have seemingly over performed by beating two ranked teams during Harrangodys absence due to injury. As soon as he sat down and the team was once again all role players doing their part within the teams offense, they have won, and won easily. Harrangody paralyzes the offense whenever he is on the floor by shooting the ball whenever he gets it and absolutely never passing to open teammates. My opinions of Luke are completely based on his playing career and are absolutely not based on an altercation in which he threatened to kill not only myself but my best friend Frank as we defended Reggie Miller's honor against Luke's hateful words. This was an unfortunate incident that no doubt was primarily caused by myself and Frank's brash behavior on a jersey wearing raucous evening completed by having curse words and pornographic images drawn upon my defenseless passed out epidermis.

As I have stated for four years, Harrangody is the worst team player to ever be given Player of the Year honors. He is terrible, and the Irish will always be better off without Harrangody. Not to mention, he is one ugly dude. So, it is with great pleasure and joy that I say Goodbye Luke. Thanks for reading
