What happened to the rules? No politics? Not to violate kayfabe, but is john henson still alive?

Do you even know the reason wku fired that coach? Because it had little to do with basketball.

A. We are mediocre at best in basketball, check the record. B. home and homes are not that easy. Dont want to sell out for 2 for 1's. C. Don't know but nobody had to recruit me. Got involved when couldn't rub two nickels together, showed up anyway.

These numbers relate To sun belt guys, the numbers and budget have changed with cusa. This is not even an apples to oranges comparison

And one other thing about the talent that benford was left. Leave mitchell out. yes he had talent, unbelievable talent. With the guys that are left, and run it down. Tell me who the talent was? Please? because i think they were way overrated.

I will say one thing about the fran fruckzilla thing. If he was so good, why is he still a commentator and not a coach? My point about the money was that hiring coach benford over any other candidate was not about money.

I agree, Voss helped combs by being very physical. Gotta home this huge freshman has a mean streak. Not one like Deandre's which requires them to give him a snickers bar to hide his crazy, but just a mean streak.

We beat a team the same year that they won a game in the NCAA tournament. FACT Quarterback play was terrible last year. FACT We lost to Southern MIssissippi. FACT We beat rice twice. FACT We lost to Prairie View. FACT We looked totally unprepared and not ready to play in the conference tournament. FACT Once again, the wife and I loaded up and went to Birmingham and I got kicked squarely in the nuts. Flew in on Wednesday, went to lunch, spent the afternoon drinking in Todd English PUB, walked to the game, spread my legs, and repeatedly got kicked in the nuts for about an hour and a half, walked back to the hotel, had another drink. Begged the hotel to let me out of the next three nights, called American Airlines and payed their communist change fee, went to sleep at midnight, got up at 430 am, boarded a flight which left at 650 a.m. back to work at 11:00 a.m on Thursday. FACT If you think I like it, you are crazy. Everything stated above are factual events, well except one is a metaphor. And yes, I believe after watching this team play, and this staff coach, and the rest of the competition in this conference that we have potential to be very good next year. OPINION

Reasons to be optimistic about basketball. 1. J-mychal Reese 2. Jeremy Combs 3. Deandre Harris 4. Ricky Brice 5. Ja-Michael Brown 6. Maurice Aneifiok 7. Todd Eaglin 8. Carrington Ward We beat a team the same year that team won a game in the NCAA tournament. I am not sure that has ever happened. Did we be Western the year that they made the run with Courtney Lee? I don't think so but I could be wrong. Reasons to be optimistic about football 1. Someone needs to dial 1-800-quarterback, and in the words of Bill Parcells, there is no such number. So I am more concerned about football than basketball

I liked that hat you had on.

Well we won nine in football, so i was half right, or half wrong. Still drinking the punch.

If your gonna be a bear, you may as well be a grizzly.

finally a fresh optimistic original thought

oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn and the farmer said it will do her no harm same song second verse could get better but its gonna get worse oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn and the farmer said it will do her no harm same song third verse could get better but its gonna get worse oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn and the farmer said it will do her no harm same song fourth verse could get better but its gonna get worse oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn and the farmer said it will do her no harm same song fifth verse could get better but its gonna get worse oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn and the farmer said it will do her no harm same song sixth verse could get better but its gonna get worse......... that was fun typing the same thing over and over again and never changing or inventing a new story. what was the topic of this thread? OH YEAH, the same as all other threads. Fire Rick and Fire Benford and fire fire fire fire and throw in" the board of regents don't care" and "please pray the new president does something about this." #itsallajoke

some major donors close to this program have insisted that next year will be Benford's breakout year. Always next year... fixed it for ya and self ban begins again...............now

Personal toy? You are crazy. Self ban from this board for one week........Starting..........now. Gonna be in birmingham with a couple of my fellow "toy mates" watching basketball anyway. So starting...........now.

What is more upsetting to me is the freaakkinnn ad for Stephen F. Austin I am looking at while I am typing this!

Why do you need to know the financial arrangements? You planning on donating some money to help with it? If not then JSTFU about it. Because there are people out there taking care of that, and it is no fun donating to that cause. The man has never been fired, this is not easy on anyone, but it had to happen. Just let him go, he is a class act.

Or does he hire an alum?

The new ad would have to rebuild relationships. Head coach no. But there would be some blowback if RV was fired. It happens everywhere. We lost Bobby Ray and mattress mack when Dickey was fired. Took 3 to 4 years to replace just those two. I would take Ernie over McIngvale any day, But why not have both?

We can build a stadium, We can build practice fields, We can hire a name football coach. Does anyone know how the difference between McCarney salary and dodge's salary was raised? Because I do. That is why when you people insult the decision to hire McCarney, extend him etc, you are indirectly insulting some major donors. So getting rid of RV, and McCarney means firing some people who are writing checks behind the scenes to make things happen. That is the way it works. Sorry to all of you haters, but starting from scratch will be more painful than you realize. You guys are insane. Carry on, why..... I agree with please, please, please just win baby. #itsallajoke

Yes, there must be some conspiracy here.

The difference is that they didn't have to overcome a history of disinterest from their administration, alumni apathy, and the stigma of historically being a losing program. I would be comfortable in stating that it is much easier to start from scratch than to take over a program with 80+ years of pretty much losing and being treated as an afterthought by the university administration. That is how I look at it from a realistic point of view. Realistic? According to wikipedia, we have been playing football since 1913. Our record is 487-472-32. We have won 25 conference championships. That is one every 4 years on average. When we were in school we went to 1aa playoffs. We do not have 80 plus years of losing. Take away last two years of dickey and dodge disaster we would be 50 games over 500. I am tired of hearing about losing tradition.

whoops sorry, reading the stats wrong their (USF) overall big east conference record was 22-34.
