Eddie_Gaedel Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Oh for crying out loud. Maybe you should greet him at the airport and demand this in person. Sheesh! Be happy we are actually being considered by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 >come first. The haters have already come out. He does graduate players and cares more about academics than most NCAA coaches. 170 times a kid had a 3.0 or higher on his teams at Utah. Led the nation at one point in academic All-Americans, and had a Rhodes scholar on his team. Take Timmerman's article for example....Lazy will reporting will throw out a couple of years of what would seem like low graduation rates. Non-lazy reporting would have pointed out that Majerus had several mormon players in Utah who take two year missions who count against the graduation rate. What that article also doesn't tell you is back at that time transfers in and out counted against graduation rates. What it also doesn't show are the kids who went overseas to play ball for the money and later returned for their degrees, one of whom is now a doctor. But these things were conveniently left out of the article. Most people are smart enough to learn all they can about things of which they have an interest....so I am sure you know all of these things.

brianstl Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 People are going to whine no matter what. The Timmerman article was just worthless yesterday. It would have took him only a few minutes to find out why those numbers were not legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
