  1. well what's not skewed, that you obviously don't want to talk about, is there is only 3 at large bids from non P6 schools....spin anyway you want, the odds are poor...
  2. you really think a great JUCO option would have been willing to wait to see if someone was going to fully recover from an injury???
  3. agreed, everyone is different, maybe this time next year, he will be back 100%
  4. in other words you can't name any...got it....but don't let that you deter your Ford hating......
  5. why don't you list all of those coaches who had 3 starters injured who made the tournament???? that should be easy, right????
  6. Let me tell you what Ford does very well, yet rarely gets credit for, he knows how to coach rebounding. His team is consistently in the top 50. Think about it, look at the team he had on the floor this year, not one outside of Okoro would you say is a good rebounder yet he got the production. Another thing he excels at is plays under the opponent’s basket. We have to be one of the best in that category. Who remembers the Crews days when our number 1 option was to throw the ball to the backcourt.
  7. I don’t think most have any clue what SLU and other mid majors are up against. Here are facts not opinions. There are 358 division 1 teams and 68 tournament bids. There are 32 automatic bids which means that leaves 336 teams vying for 36 at large bids. This year 33 of those bids went to P6 schools which left 3 spots for the remaining 269 non P6 schools which equates to a 1 in 90 chance. The system is a joke and is only getting tougher. To compound the difficulty SLU is in a conference that is trending down in the numbers of bids, yet still has 4-6 teams which are regularly competing for the top spot. You can ***** all you want about the coach, but the reality is whoever is the coach will be facing a major uphill battle.
  8. Yes, you’re joking right, or do you just enjoy making a fool of yourself?
  9. Please note this “ fan” was again unable to answer the simplest of questions.
  10. That’s pure speculation on your part, and you know it… tell me, how many players more could we have done with out and still won more than 21. The fact is your hatred prevents you from having any honesty.
  11. are you saying the injuries aren't real?????
  12. and when they have injuries and problems they struggle....ask Dayton...again, that's why it's so hard to get in as a mid major they don't have the luxury of going 8-10 in conference play and getting a bid....they have to be almost perfect...
  13. i don't think we should confuse excuses with facts...but if I'm wrong about the facts, please correct me...the point about snake bitten is sadly a part of being a mid major...their margin of error is razor thin...
  14. what you are missing Roy, is the expectations of the fan were unwarranted based on the actual facts.... Perkins a shell of himself, Pickett injured much of the season Thatch, our best defender misses the last half of the season The biggest mystery was the offense of Okoro, Ford and coaches can definitely take some of the blame for that... Most of these facts aren't because of coaching they are because of life and circumstances. The life of a mid major is always going to hang on the edge, not sure why this is hard to understand as frustrating as it is...
  15. That’s not what I asked… it’s amazing how many cowards are on this board…,
  16. Another person who can’t answer a simple yes or no question…
  17. So you are too embarrassed too answer the question…
  18. So you are too embarrassed to answer the question… got it…
  19. To all of you Ford haters, a simple question, does your incessant bitching about wanting the coach fired( even though you know it isn’t going to happen) help or hurt the current recruiting process? And, yes potential recruits and their family and friends read this board. Likewise our competition will be happy to pass this along as well. The fact is, if you were really fans of the program you would take a different approach, but you’re not. You’re like small children pitching a temper tantrum because you didn’t get your way. He’s averaged over 22 wins in the last 4 complete seasons, which is very respectable. The system is heavily rigged against the mid majors and every one knows it. Instead of constant bitching you should be figuring our how you can help, even in a small way, to get us over the top.
  20. Brian, the point was to imply that Stuen was the only one Ford could have a completely open and free conversation about the team, is ridiculous and to be honest, insulting to the current coaches.
  21. You sound like a whiny 12 year old girl….
  22. Just stop, you have no idea of the conversations the coaches have among each other. You’re making a fool of yourself…
  23. You act like they all work independently of each other… the nitpicking will never end…
