Dam AK. Will the OM team even show up in person Saturday?
Just my 2 cents, but he may have just rallied his troops.Quote:

That will be 3-0 against us so far in the big 3 sports if they win Saturday.

When he would talk to the team during TOs lat night they just looked up into the stands. They don't care.
I'm in the minority of people who think Andy Kennedy is a pretty good coach. Ole Miss people have never supported basketball. AK gave a little more effort at coaching than OM people do at supporting basketball. If he wants to be an assistant for a while I think someone will be getting a good coach.
I laugh when I see OM people claiming that their job is a destination job and coaches will be standing in line for it. The biggest proof to them is the pavilion. We all know the pavilion was built for Luke Bryan concerts. Basketball is just something to fill in the down time. Ole Miss has never supported basketball and never will which is actually kind of stupid because their mode of recruiting is perfect for basketball.
I think this is about to change. Or at least they are about to make an effort in recruiting. Kinda hope Memphis hires a good coach that will lock down the Memphis area kids. If not, the new om coach is going to make that area a priority and will probably end up getting some good talent.Quote:

I hope they hire old Penny, the NCAA and the FBI will be on campus in short order. Hardaway is tied in with AAU in a major way.Quote:

I always knew 'if' they were going to have a good team. My OM neighbor ONLY bought season tickets when they were going to be good
Someone mentioned Forbes for ETSU might be getting a look. Former Bruce Pearl assistant at Tennessee. He'd done an amazing job at ETSU so far. Beat us last year I think. Plays very tough defense. That'd be a very good hire if they get him.
I shouldn't have stated it as "Ole Miss people" but I wasn't just talking about fan support. The administration up there has never reallyQuote:

It wouldn't surprise me if they had to move a home basketball game because someone had leased the pavilion to an ascot convention.
