  1. Wiz. And this is no disrespect for your computer but if I took the openent on your spreads would I be a rich man?
  2. I actually think he is a pretty good offensive player. Defense not so much. Can he improve on defense ? It would help if he had a legitimate 4 playing with him. I hope he is back.
  3. While he could be frustrating at times he would rank in my top 10 of alltime favorite players. Not for talent but for style.
  4. I do not favor expansion. Don't water down the product. The answer is for the SLU's of the world to elevate their product. As I have been saying for 50 years why can't we be as good as Villinova-Marquette-Creighton or anyone in the Big East.
  5. I have no problem with your point but at the same time it’s just wasted effort. People get injured. Especially women. I don’t believe there is some magic approach or training to change this. Why do professional athletes get hurt? They just do. Good years/Bad years. They just happen.
  6. Do you think they or other schools haven’t done this? Injuries are injuries.
  7. Again. What does any of that have to do with broken bones?
  8. I also have no problem with their cancellation but I don’t think it’s fair to question their strength and conditioning coach. Do we criticize JB for our problems. What do broken feet have to do with anything besides bad luck Injuries happen
  9. Why? Can’t you enjoy the victory? God knows they are rare but they overcame a huge amount of adversity.
  10. If my memory is correct it was Rick who changed senior night. Once Rick changed it was always after the game and I have always felt it was a mistake.
  11. Don’t believe anything thing you read on this board. 90% pure speculation. Or opinion.
  12. Attendance was terrible but it did fill in a little after tipoff. A few more students did show up.
  13. Not advocating for him but why would he be a bad fit?
  14. The Champion Center was definitely May’s project. 100% funded by private donations . Besides Bob O’s title sponsor there was something like 8 or 9 million dollar plus contributions. Plus probably another 50 contributors. The Board of Trustees had nothing to do with funding except some of them were major contributors.
  15. Congratulations Wiz on being fan of the game
  16. I agree with your argument and have made it for the last 50 years but would guess that 95 % of our freshman students don’t know we play basketball in the A 10. St Louis students excepted. That said I would sure like to try. I do think it could certainly make a difference locally.
  17. My point is not what you say but you have said it 50k times.
  18. This was presented to me and it makes perfect sense. If you fire Ford and hire a young coach for 1 million your buyout is not 2.5 million but 1.5 million. This also does not take into account a lump sum buyout at a reduced number.
  19. 90% of the board of trustees probably don’t know we even have a basketball team. Ford’s status will be decided by a very few people. Fortunately or un fortunately the head of the board is fully aware of where we stand. Whatever is decided won’t be done by some academic.
  20. 2.5 does seem ridiculous but don’t forget many on this board though he was going to be the next Kentucky coach. There was a lot of lock him up talk.
