Heard earlier that if we he were to pistol whip an Engineering student, rob Barnes &Noble, and then go take a piss in Keenum's office- they may talk about making a change.
Anything short of that- Ray is returning

I support Ray getting 4th year, but no excuses. I don't care about injuries, close losses, etc... Do or die for ray next season
Postseason a lot more likely than keglar imo. Hughes, banks, simonds, hicks, and 1 more will be a nice pull, if he can get it doneQuote:

This all day. Wins and loses. Wins and loses. I will support Ray for another year. I could care less about how good our defense was in a lose and if we are yet again talking about injuries in year 4 then it is a constant and not a variable on Ray's ball clubs. I thought this year was going to be that year and felt sure after the horrendous early season loses that it surely would be, but I am willing to see what another year brings the program. And in year 4, Rick Stansbury really shouldn't be mentioned.Quote:

I mean is squeaking into the NIT enough? Would still be a big improvement from this year but likely won't satisfy a lot of folks? Does he have to get to the NCAA tourney? That seems to be the standard more folks than not are wanting to put down for next year but from what we are this year to being an NCAA team next year is quite the quantum leap (assuming no Malik Newman).Quote:

Just great. Even in our dream schedule La Monroe and Eastern Kentucky are ahead of us and UT Martin is one spot behind us.Quote:

So if Gavin Ware makes a layup but there's nobody there to see it, did it really happen?Quote:

If it was up to me, he'd be gone. That's likely not gonna happen unfortunately. Next year if we don't make the ncaa tourney with an at-large quality teams (not some shit show that puts together a miracle sec tourney run), I'll want him gone. Making the NIT with all the returning experience we'll have and given the amount of experience we'll lose after next season is absolutely unacceptable.Quote:

Worth noting here, Ray may have 2 more years on his contract after this year due to year 1 extension. At least that is told by 2 sources that have spoken with AD dept people. The assumption would be that creates a possible buyout scenario. Any further insight is appreciated.
I will continue to buy season tickets, but it will be for the ladies games next year.Quote:
