Again, for the record, WE THOUGHT HAASE WAS A HUNGRY HOOPS VERSION OF HARBAUGH. Oops.

Well, Haase does have a lot of enthusiasm for a quiet guy. Whether it's EUTM (enthusiasm unknown to Maples) is unclear.

Enthusiasm hasn't been known to Maples when watching a men's basketball game in a looooooong time.

So you're saying ANY enthusiasm would be unknown to Maples, so Haase passes that test. :)

When did you last go to a game? I went to the Washington game we lost by 1 at the finish and there was a solid, impressive, and very engaged crowd to the very end of that game. Was it the madhouse of the Monty days with the bouncy Maples floors? No. But there was solid enthusiasm. Almost everyone was on their feet cheering for the last two minutes of the game, and attendance was 5700 for around an 80% full house. It was noticeable.
I sometimes feel like with some Stanford fans enthusiasm seems to be conditional on unceasing excellence (and I am guilty of this sometimes too). This isn't our best team and it wasn't our best year. But there was a lot to like, and a lot of likable guys on the court (and the bench), and part of being a fan is having faith and showing enthusiasm. The last game I went to, there was a lot of both, and it was encouraging to see.
Edited to add: fittingly, a synonym for "fan" is "enthusiast."

I was disappointed in this season, but I will admit that I had high expectations as I thought Travis would be back and we would make the Dance...finally. I've been a season ticket holder for at least 24 years and Maples is a shell of its former self. It's sad. Fewer students show up now versus when I was in school in the 80's. I too, liked this team and they showed sparks of potential (UCLA game). I don't know that Haase has the fire that we need. He needs to step up next year or begone. I don't want to sit through more Dawkins like years.
As for Monty, Mick - it's not going to happen. He won't hit the recruiting trail anymore and frankly, his move to UCB was/is a negative to me. I thank him for his service, but question his judgement in going to our rival. Any other school, and there were others that were interested, would have been fine. Lute wouldn't have made that move.
