Don?t worry folks, Salmon to the rescue!

[Bothrops]

We lose Jans and Ole Miss keeps Beard even after a blue blood offers him. That's how I will expect it to go anyway.

I doubt salmon can help us, but I think Zac SELMON may be able to help us a tad.

That's not a sucks but whatever situation. That's a you better have a HR hire lined up the second Jans leaves or you'll lose everyone type situation. You can't afford a Rick Ray, Rick Stansbury, or Ben Howland type hire with how good the SEC is in basketball. You need to be making overtures to Will Wade right now if you think there's even an inkling that Jans might take that Iowa job.

OK I was with Rick Ray but Stans and Howland? You lost me there. Those were two good coaches. I mean Stans is maybe one of top 5 coaches we've had.

Agree, we need to be in front of this if it becomes a real threat.

I think we might keep a few more players than Hub if we don't have a suck hire.

Be about the streak we are on. On top of that OM goes to a Final 4 this year and then baseball to Omaha. I'm bout to puke just thinking that is possible

It's so invigorating to read how after 3 years our basketball coach never wanted to be here and has been looking for a way out. If this is true, then everyone should understand why we are losers and always will be. Really a sad commentary on Starkville, MSU and the fan base.

We hired the wrong guy if he was looking to leave the second he got here.

[R2Dawg]

Money talks and it isn't all about night life for Coaches, it's sad to me what you post about Starkville. Wonder why 24,000 students survive?

Yeah I don't understand the Starkville hate. I know a ton of students that love it there as did I.

I graduated in 1973, I never heard one person or student that hated Starkville even though we had to drive to the Crossroads to get a beer.

If Starkville is so bad how is it growing with Students? Also Coaches move around way more now days.

I ****ing hated Starkville. I turned down a walk-on spot at Delta State to go to State and I regret it to this day. Starkville is terrible for a college age kid

Yes- Cleveland was much more fun than Starkville. My friends told me and showed me numerous times

Cleveland population is a little over 10k. Starkville is over 25k. Too each their own.

I had a alot of fun at Cheers in Sville- but Delta State matched it

If Starkville wasn't fun for you, then that's a skill issue.

Me too

Agreed. We had ole miss friends that came down on the weekends because they liked it more in our circle. I've got degrees from multiple D1 schools and had the most fun at state by far. And never ran out of scenery or smokeshows to chase down.

Why do so many coaches buy property here? Since it's so bad??

[R2Dawg]

I got a top notch BJ in Cleveland after winning $200 in a poker game. I had a alot of fun at Cheers in Sville- but Delta State matched it

Is this really all you got why Starkville isn't good and Cleveland better? Nothing to do with town. What else you got? For that matter what does anywhere else have that Starkville don't? Tuscaloosa - a mall, higher crime? I know plenty of Bamers that hated Tuscaloosa.

A card game, ho and alcohol sales is why one town is better than another? Glad you don't make big decisions for MSU or Starkville.

[Saltydog]

Meh, we'll see........I don't think a lot of them would leave.........Iowa ain't for everybody........

Literally have not met anyone else who didn't like the Starkville experience. Things ain't what make a place fun. It's people. And the people are phenomenal. It's like home walking on campus. The rap we get is super unfair. I brought a coworker to a baseball weekend last year, he's originally from India. On the drive down he point blank asked me "are they going to hate me cause I'm brown." I laughed and said no, that's Oxford. We went out and walked the campus that Saturday morning and on the drill field was a massive cricket tournament - men's, women's and children going. Couldn't have timed it better. Set the tone for the weekend. Then everyone was super welcoming in the lounge. He had to learn that southerners take pride in someone else liking our cooking and will keep handing you food until you say "no mas". Then we went and had a crawfish boil that sunday night with crab legs and all my "country bumpkin" farmer friends were super friendly.

Buddy was shocked how fun a weekend in Starkville could be. I'm just like "it's about a 8/10 - Football is better." All he came with was a positive attitude and a willingness to meet new people and give them a chance. If you do that in Starkville - it's a magical place. If you're just looking for a blowjob, go to Library on the square, buy some random a couple drinks, offer some blow for a blow and there ya go. Someone on this board seems to fit more in with that Oxfart crowd anyways. Maybe that's his real regret.

I would be more worried about just leaving... maybe not for iowa, but somewhere.

Cam Carter got any eligibility left? He and Hubbard would be fun esp if we keep Murphy
