I want a guy with a history of postseason success as a head coach (at least one Sweet Sixteen), head coaching experience, roots in Texas and the Metroplex, familiarity with the realities of working at a mid-major, but also knowledge of what it takes to succeed at a major basketball school that doesn't have the automatic advantages of the true blue bloods. If only someone like that were out there, looking for a head coaching opportunity...

This game led to me quitting a job I'd held for almost 9 full years the very next day!

Every day we don't lose is another day of sweet, nourishing harvest.

If the conference tournament started today, the impact would be so calamitous, it absolutely boggles the mind. Somehow, two entire weeks would have disappeared from our linear progression of time. EVEN IF WE ASSUME that this were a complete segmented removal, and not some sort of extended two-week FlashForward type of gap in the collective consciousness... The missing part of the calendar would have almost incalculable, disastrous impacts across every part of the globe. Just to pick a very miniscule example... IF the conference tournament started today, we'd have lost 40% of the annual harvest window for Temple oranges. FORTY PERCENT! Just the year before, a terrible hurricane season reduced citrus yields in Florida by 32%. This hypothetical Tournament Starts Today scenario would force a 25% worse impact on TEMPLE ORANGES ALONE than an entire year of historically destructive hurricane activity! And that's just TEMPLE ORANGES! What about avocados? Asparagus? Apricots? I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THAT START WITH THE LETTER B! And there would still be 24 MORE LETTERS WORTH OF FOOD PRODUCTS POTENTIALLY IMPACTED!!! Frankly, even a thought experiment like this opens doorways to horror so traumatic, I can barely steady my hands enough to type this response. Let the tournament come when it comes. Live in the now. Be present in the day we have before us. Each one is a precious gift. Make the most of it, friends. And, enjoy a Temple orange. ...while you still can?

I don't think so. With a home run hire and the sort of fan support that justifies these expectations and hard decisions... I wouldn't be surprised if they're the next Boise State.

In trying times like these, I turn to the wise words of MATTHEW 28:18-20 from the MOP* translation of the good book: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth and on YouTube. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations that reject AdBlock, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to like, comment, subscribe, and observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world, so long as you don't use the DuckDuckGo browser. * - Monetized Online Preacher

Will they bring back the fireworks of shame? I sort of miss that tradition.

I haven't felt this excited and optimistic since we beat ULM in 2007.

You hush. This is the only good thing to happen in the Eric Morris era.

@rojomojo -- Any suggestions or references about the cost of gasoline?

I feel like there's been entirely too much focus on swag. Meanwhile, teams actually win games with rizz and drip. You can't be based if you're not takin' it steezy. Anyone that's all about swag is gonna end up mid-lit, at best. If you want to play to slay? Rizz is the way. Also, helmet stickers.

Bad measurables, eh? Just gotta coach yourself up, buddy.

Or, Amanda Wurlitzer McCollum, I suppose.

Good thing his dad didn't fall for the wrong baseball movie, or we'd have a QB named Morris Buttermaker McCollum instead.

Did she take many other official visits before signing day?

I remember that Mc-whatever guy, I think. Dude that worked here before Hodge, right? Anyway, good luck to him. Or, thoughts and prayers, whatever happens to be going on. Didn't bother reading.

One day soon, he'll have his name hanging in our Hall of Fame, right between Derek Thompson and Diet Coke Boy.

Well, he's a West Virginia guy now... So, it's really more of a rickety stool or upturned crate.

Marveling at guys with full sets of teeth that can read the text on their championship shirts. Be nice. He has to go back to live in West Virginia tomorrow.

He's a West Virginia guy now. I'm just glad he wore his fancy overalls, and buckled both straps.

Frankly, if McCasland is gone? The real question is, who does Ross Hodge bring in as his lead assistant? Because that's the guy you hope to have this same conversation about in 2-4 years.
