I have reached billiken_roy levels of posting (7/7)

  1. I am not speaking for billikefan05 but I would think that May went to these big donors and made the case for extending Ford and paying him so much. I doubt seriously that any of the donors called May up and said let's give Ford an out sized contract. I don't blame the donors except for the ones who derailed those willing to buy Ford out last year. May was behind the wheel and he got the gas to drive us into a ditch.
  2. It was more than 3. My point is the ISU fan board is not any different than this one
  3. To jog your memory - "In Ford We Trust".
  4. Not knocking Shertz but 3 or so years ago people were melting down when they thought Ford was being possibly courted by another school. I get why their board may be melting down but nobody has a crystal ball either.
  5. I know this is a technicality but I thought the NCAA prohibited the new school from paying the buy out. Now how the coach gets the money and from what individual is something that may be easily covered up.
  6. I am really confused by the Ahern talk. Is just that he is from StL? I would think as some have suggested that he would be interested in MSU if he really wanted to coach in college. He had wanted to come here but Sodie axed that - big mistake as it turns out but being a player and coaching are two different things. I would think he would not want anything to do with us after his first treatment here.
  7. OK so she has been here 2 years and she is in two post season tourneys. Shertz has his job cut out for him.
  8. Apparently, you have missed all the discussion on here about how the MVC is as good or better than the A10 so why would Shertz come here. My posts were in response to that stuff. I am not trying to make a bigger issue.
  9. You can rationalize what happened all you want but the A10 got 2 and MVC 1. There were other conferences that had surprised tourney winners and they still only got 1 in. I said I wasn't being that serious but a year or so down the road nobody is going to remember all the upsets that caused a conference to only get 1 team. We will only see in 23-24 the A10 was a multi bid league and the MVC was not. Whether ISU should have gotten in or not is now mute and that Dayton got in as an at large is all that counts.
  10. So, from reading these threads it looks like the MVC got 1 and the A10 got 2 so that should put the discussion that the MVC is as good as the A10 to rest. I am not being serious here but it does make you stop and think.
  11. I really think May 1st is too late. Heck that is 6 weeks out and all the good dominos will be falling in the next 2-3 weeks. This timeline is exactly what I was afraid of - the school or whoever is in charge (May) is planning to slow walk it. Coaches will drop their names out of consideration if they have to sit around and wait this long - other schools will take the some of our targets way. Nero fiddles while Rome burns. Big mistake!!!
  12. I am not trying to get in the middle of this food fight but it is very possible that big money donors like him and little people in the AD department don't. Think Mo - ownership likes him but I have had employees tell me they hate him.
  13. He certainly did have a system - everything ran through the defense. He was not interested in simply outscoring his opponent but to keep their score down. His offense was primarily based on who his players were - Hughes could play hero ball on offense, Claggs and the guard from Vegas were set up to get open and make 3s. Highmark was the same but if he couldn't hit he was told to drive. While his approach would not be a specific system as some talk about today he did have an approach - defense drove the team and his offensive scheme was based on the players skill he had.
  14. My post had nothing to do with your position on May. I simply was pointing out that people with money may not have their thumb on the pulse of the fanbase. Money makes you able to play but not be correct.
  15. It has already been determined in spades that Ford did not know how to develop players.
