  1. It’s wrong to root against a team for which you’ve declared you’re a fan of. Unless you’re a fan of a lousy NFL team and some late season losses will move you up the draft ladder.
  2. I haven’t heard anything. You’re right. Stupid post on my part. I guess it came from the report DeVries is only interested in a P6 job.
  3. What’s worrisome is that the replacements they’ve pursued are not expressing enthusiasm about the job.
  4. I’m not so sure schools will be knocking on his door unless it’s really a low mid. P6’s couldn’t stand their fans outcry if a biggie hired him. It’s either a downgrade or the broadcast booth.
  5. Sounds to me like UL really wants Avila.
  6. If his buyout is indeed $10mm that’s like being paid 4 years salary for gone fishing in FL. None of us know his financial situation but highly doubtful he’ll be going on welfare anytime soon. What hurts him the most will be sitting out seasons behind the broadcast table or as a studio analyst. Ford loves/lives to coach hoops. He’s a relatively young man. If being fired from SLU makes him damaged goods in the eyes of prospective schools it will hurt his pride way more than his bank account. A lot of folks in their early 50’s who lose a top position find it difficult to find another one of similar stature. Call it age discrimination, ageism, or prejudice but folks in that situation feel like the sky has fallen. Travis may land another coaching job but it likely won’t be with a P6 or high mid major immediately. He needs to craft a better resume, and it starts at a lower level. He was always considered a young up and comer. That image got dinged at OSU. Now at + 50, while not over the hill, he’ll be viewed as a late model used car. Functional but not luxurious. He’s now in the class of former up and coming hot coaches, eg Crean, Gregory, Romar, Martin et al. Can he reach his dream of being a P6 HC. Sure, but he’s really gonna have to show a whole lot more than what he’s accomplished to date.
  7. I can’t believe Old Guy put that much thought into another person’s future career. Jeesh!
  8. If Sprinkle has success at UW he won’t leave. UW Is a major athletic school in a very major conference. They may not be in the blue blood category, but they ain’t exactly chopped liver either.
  9. No. No bundles. What the hell, $12 bucks to see a game.
  10. Are the Tuesday games being streamed. If so, what service? I just canceled ESPN+.
  11. I love it when we WIN! Now what? Only the Shadow knows. Oh, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache then I could solve some mysteries too.
  12. You gotta be kidding me. 3 pt foul and a technical. Jesus how stupid are we?
  13. I hate Day Drinking but whatta ya gonna do?
  14. Gbby’s cold, says Captain Obvious.
  15. We’re cursed. Best effort on D but can’t hit the ocean from the dock.
  16. There are times where he and Hughes are impressive.
  17. There are times where Thames and Hughes are impressive.
