Scrimmage vs UAB

Well maybe if we made a splash hire, we could have kept Rodney Hood. To me that would have been a great center piece to attract a great young coach from a mid-major. Instead Stricklin screwed up the hire and we ended up with a guy no one had heard of before. As I said previously, UAB made a better hire then we did. Heck, South Carolina even made a better hire and they are basketball purgatory. We had a top five SEC job and hired for a 14th spot. So in fact Stricklin did blow up the basketball program.

Hey, with that schedule he has even a lame brain would win 15 games. To me, an 18+ win season possibly changes my mind. The schedule we have has to be one of the easiest we have ever had even for Stansbury standards.

the expectations overall do not change. they remain the same AFTER the new coach is given an actual chance to clean up the mess. every one of you understands this, so I can't understand why anyone continues to pretend otherwise. the time required for the cleanup is debatable, but to suggest he shouldn't get any time to actually clean it up is silly.

Ah, I get it now. In your eagerness to run down everything associated with your scapegoat, in this case the AD, you are willing skip over actual facts, resort to "maybes", toss out complete unknowns as "facts", and generally make shit up in order to complete the circle and "validate" your opinion.

I love how every single thread gets transformed into a talk about our administration. I can't wait for some dawg hoops. Excited to see what we look like this year even if we did lose a scrimmage to UAB.

Tough crowd.

I think I will just hide and watch.
