Going to be a long year with Howland!
Let's fire him! I bet Rick Ray is available!Quote:

Nah, Xavier's the one that truly killed it. And Texas before that.Quote:

Why anybody would hate Stans is beyond me. He took us to 6 ncaa tournaments in 14 seasons. He was flawed no doubt, but nobody else has come close to what he did.
Hope Howland can get it going.
Much like the group that, deep down want Leach to lose just so they can say "told ya so".Quote:

Hopefully we get Tolu back to almost full strength before league play.. he is a huge difference on the offensive side of the ball
BPI is 20 which is very strong going into league play which will be one of the toughest in the country. Road loses to upper tier SEC teams teams won’t hurt , just have to win a few road games and take care of business at home ( esp against the weaker teams )
The best thing about our schedule is the final 5 games. It sets up great for us to finish strong and be hot going into the SEC tourney .. which is always a good thing for the committee
Game 1 against arky is very big.. need it
Bottom line wether you like CBH or not , get to the ****ing games if you are season ticket holders..
Ha! You underestimate the desire for keyboard heroes to be correct. Sure, they'll hop on the wagon as soon as Leach is winning, but they'll be first in line, to tell you they "called it" when he loses. Or, they'll go from 80 posts when we lose to 2 posts when we win.Quote:

Sometimes you can assemble enough talent to win but if you can?t control the team it becomes a problem. Like Moorhead, Stansbury generally won games because he our talented his opponents. That?s why we always beat Ole Miss. We had to let Stansbury ?retire? because the program had got so bad from a discipline standpoint. Then Strickland made the biggest WTF hire in state history
I don?t think anyone thought Minnesota or Colorado St were going to be as good as they are. And some of the teams we have beaten have knocked off some decent teams. Basketball is hard to tell early in the season. I just look for consistency, improvement and team chemistry in the OOC schedule. Maybe that comeback Friday was the glue that made this team Gel.Quote:

Maybe I can come back after the game and say:
Whooped again didn't we Josey.
And here we go- never said "anybody could do better." Not one time. The cheerleader's hiring of Ray and not giving people like Kermit or some others a chance still remains mind-googling. Not to mention Stands' completely letting the program rot from within that we had to gut the roster. Ray's hiring alienated boosters that helped us attain talent under Stands- causing recruiting to drop. The Cheerleader killed the program temporarily.Quote:

Now- we have Ben Howland- who had to spend a couple of seasons adding talent we were devoid of when he was hired. We are about to make the NCAA Tourney for the 2nd time in 6 seasons- (remember Q-King pointed out 2020 doesnt count) which is better than Stands did his last 6 seasons in StarkVegas. Stands only made 2 NCAA's his last 7 years in StarkVegas.
So yes- when Howland punches his ticket in March- we will be doing better than Stands. 2/6 > 2/7
