Most of the main players were the same, and Soderberg won how many games with them? And Majerus won how many? hmmmm.

I started listening to games on KMOX in the days of Charlie Spoon.

I also follow UALR, where Porter was head coach for three years. He did a tremendous job of immediately getting players up to their potential, and even overachieving as a team. He must have been a very good assistant coach, because he got the job from inside after Moncrief left.

If RM doesn't run a cleaner program than he did before, "envy" might not be the right word.

Any news if the recruits are staying with us after the coaching change?

What are they thinking? Even if there should have been a change, which I question, why would they do it this way? Evidently they sat down and tried to figure out how to change coaches that would do the most damage to the program. Good grief!

Filling up the place is the immediate concern.

I became a fan through listening to Charlie Spoonhour on KMOX. He was very entertaining.

If Liddell were not such a good rebounder, we would be feeling having Meyer at the 4 a lot more.

>Every defense will >lay off him (and double Ian) and let him shoot the patented >15 foot jumpers. The fact none of our freshmen are going to >unseat JJ (all according to Guest's early lineup >projections) scares me very much for THIS YEARS team. Every team has one non-scorer. What's the big deal? What he has to do is play good defense and REBOUND.

>So it is really not that much of a stretch to call Ahearn a Top 20 shooting guard. I agree. His phenomenal free throw shooting alone would rate him at least a look.

Huggins is a "win at any price" coach. He wins. He doesn't care how. There are some people in the world that like that.

I hate to hear that KMOX is out of the sports broadcasting business. That is how I became a Bills fan.

>In my opinion, its the BCS and the rest of us" That is the bottom line, of course. However, if a conference regularly gets four or more into the NCAA, it can be thought of as playing with the big boys. Those six conferences are the only ones that regularly do that so far.

If Justin Johnson plays as many minutes per game as IV, he leads the team in rebounding last season (assuming all else equal).
