No doubt. Against us they were raining in 40 footers.

Back then we had seriously bad luck in our draws. Nearly all of our opponents that beat us in the tourney won their next game or two in the tourney.

Ray's hiring alienated boosters that helped us attain talent under Stands- causing recruiting to drop. The Cheerleader killed the program temporarily.

Now let's look at the SEC. We no longer get the advantage of playing an average to weak West schedule 2 games each anymore as we did under Stands. We play an 18 game schedule that has the tougher East teams on it multiple times per season now.

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

17 this. " 17 Stands " 10 years later with his son on the roster? Low Rent.

Havent said a word about his kid. Stop bringing him into it.

We?re going 12-6 in league play 😎

My reb folks say they want AK back. I'm not a BH fan but that says a lot about Kermit

The same delusional fan base also thought they were getting John Gruden to coach football and claim Home and Garden Magazine national championships. Let?s keep things in perspective.

Kermit may not be the answer for their turd of a program- but he would have been better at State than Rick Ray was. He also would have kept some boosters on board.

Give it up. That is the most idiotic statement ever. There is not one MSU fan on here that wants MSU to loose no matter who is coaching us.

So true. If we don't play Xaiver that year we may have made Final 4

Passing on Kermit for Rick was terrible. God Awful.
