I’m rooting against Tennessee.

I don’t judge coaches based on how good of a person they are in everyday life but Ford is not the most pleasant person to engage with outside Chaifetz. He is a very good salesman.

Same. NIT and CIB don’t matter.

"Second Runner Up for Entry into NCAA Tournament"

Wasn’t trying to take a shot at May even though I think it would be warranted. I meant the Athletics Department - I should’ve typed it out.

Well said. Same script every game and most the script is corny. Par for the course with this AD.

We agree on the bass. I’m generally fine with the piped in music but it was crazy loud last night.

Thanks. Btw, the entire game day experience is terrible. Who in the athletic department thinks the Billiken clap is a good idea?

Me (a donor) and many other fans (donors) find the band to be a joke at best. Those teams you referenced have good game day experiences because they win, not because of the band.

It’s time to retire the band

Need 1 for tonight. Anywhere will work.

, this was electric

Forte is recruiting Texas

This is, by far, the worst point someone can make in this type of argument. I've never been President either. Or thrown a pass in the NFL. Or waited tables at Applebee's. I guess 99.9% of the population needs to shut up about basically everything.

You should listen to the interview. With full context, it does not seem like Pepi immediately hung up in the manner it seems from that individual quote snippet. It is really poor journalism.

Pellegrino Matarazzo is an under the radar option who could be really good for the role

The only thing left to do this season is get our NET to 122

It is more realistic to try bringing Majerus back from the afterlife.

Dwayne Evans won more NCAA tournament games in four years than Travis Ford has in 23 season as a head coach. Try again. The real ridiculousness is comparing Ford to Majerus in any capacity.

Bringing up the Duke loss is really something. We trotted out a bunch of Freshmen because of Situation 1. Comparing Ford to Majerus in any capacity is like comparing Brett Jolly to Larry Hughes.

Hanlen would absolutely crush it. I can't believe I've never thought of this.

Ford's habit of benching players with 2 fouls has cost us games in the past and it will cost us games in the future. It doesn't do any good to bench one of your key players for long periods of the first half (saving them for later in the game) when it contributes to the game getting out of hand. Ford at least brought Pickett back in the 1st half last night.

Return?

100% with all of this but I will say Pulisic isn’t our best player. Our best player was on the bench most of the tourney. Shame on Gregg for that.

I get the rankings but frankly don’t find them super relevant now. Considering current form, I would easily take Japan’s path.
