Re: Be honest

Who else cried after we scored to go ahead and / or the end of the game? I was crying my eyes out in section 342 Initially I was just so ecstatic about the concept of playing in the Cotton bowl against USC. But as the game grew closer it was feeling more significant. The entire nation watching, one...

Re: Dannen and Fritz to Kansas?

Question: do y'all really think our AD has nothing better to do than sit in his office surfing Twitter and blocking people who say mean things?

Re: Dannen and Fritz to Kansas?

Do we politely ask Dannen to leave now that we know he doesn't want to be here ? Curious if we had a shortlist in mind in case he took the KU job. I don't understand the Dannen "hate" (disdain), I really don't. I know the arguments against, but is an AD ever perfect? His big bet is on bri...

He got the football program to a place where they get 6-7 wins. No Complaints there but I don’t think it’s an incredible feat. Basketball he made an awful hire of Dunleavy.

Re: Baylor and Transfers

Statistically this Gonzaga team had a case for best team of all time had they sealed the deal. So yes, what Baylor did was amazing and they are right there in the discussion of all time elite squads. It's always interesting to me how important timing is in the outcome of playoffs. Baylor limped int...

Re: Baylor and Transfers

What Baylor did to Gonzaga from the opening tap and seldom letting up was spectacular. Maybe there was a buzzer beater win hangover a bit but it looked to me like Baylor just came out and punched them in the mouth. When Gonzaga cut it to 10 by halftime most of us expected a big Zag run to start the ...

Re: #112 Tulane vs #91 Memphis Game 2

Well thank goodness we got Nieman thrown at at 3rd. We wouldn't want to have 0 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd. Much better to only be up 3-1. Every moment Jewett occupies the dugout is another moment wasted for the program. Normally I wouldn’t see the need for a mid season firing but I need to kno...

I've always wondered how how both coaches and athletes at this level suddenly forget how to play a sport that they have spent a decade or more immersed in. I can forgive it at the high school level but at D1 it's your job.

Well done, roto And you didn't even use the sarcasm pink.

With a third of basketball players and counting transferring, along with t...

Re: Dannen and Fritz to Kansas?

I am struck by one thing that I heard from a Tulane booster about an AD at another school he was friends with: this AD always kept a list of up and coming coaches he would keep tabs on so that he would never get caught flat footed in finding replacements.

That's a 33% clip or over 4 players from every D1 team. Since every one of the 347 D1 teams is not losing 4 players it means many many teams are losing a boatload more.
