First, I'd agree that his Jeremy Lin bashing doesn't make any sense, and just highlights his warped point of view.
Second, way back in the day, BRF justified his actions because Cornell needed the hype, as an up and coming program. Well, Cornell has arrived and has had one of the best if not the best Ivy basketball team in the 64 team tourney era. There doesn't seem to be the need for the hype now.
Third, when that really talented Cornell team was making its runs in the tourney - more than one member of the Ivy Hoops community remarked to me that the team was wonderful to watch, and that they wanted to root for them, but for one guy.....BRF.
Last, I suppose that's the power of the internet. Low barrier to entry, and BRF has his own site. But, by the same token, if someone else wants to make a better site, they can try.
