I'm trying to figure out why it didn't hurt UNC when that program was under scrutiny and facing potential sanctions during the academic scandal, or how Louisville and Kansas have continued to recruit well under the same FBI cloud. Arizona seems like it is the one program that has been hurt the most...

Spring football isn't going to happen. At this point I'm just hoping baseball/softball happen and any thkng more is just gravy. It wouldn't work very well for the athletes if it does. A lot of athletes schedule their harder classes for semesters they're not playing in, so at this point their harder...

Question: Who here is planning to get a COVID vaccine as soon as one becomes available? Next question: Do you see the NCAA/conferences/schools mandating that athletes get a COVID vaccine and recommended boosters prior to returning to play? That's going to open a huge can of worms. If the answer is n...

Jay Bilas retweeted the article. I guess that's......something. Mark Titus is tweeting about it... seems to be picking up steam, although I don't see anyone doing the obvious: "How did this family go from $1,000 a month rent to $5,000 a month with an Escalade and a G-Wagon? They were getting paid f...

You know damn well Dick isn't commenting on Duke unless it's to say it's a witch hunt. He's laying low hoping some info comes out on AZ soon to focus on. I'm not on Twitter, but is anyone lighting him up for comment since this was brought up?

I think the desire everyone has is to lean out of the recruiting coach and back to more of a tactician and great in game coach. Remember when we thought CSM was a tactician, great in-game coach and always did less with more at Xavier? What we didn't know is if he could recruit. My how times have ch...

Too bad we’ll never see it. Again. It’s like a broken record.

Serious question. If you’re a booster and we end up a mediocre team at the end of the year, with a 1st or 2nd round exit in March, who do you pony up to replace- Sumlin or Miller? I’m assuming we can’t do both (if 1). Good times.

Time for some positives: We HAVE won 2 of our last 7. That’s better than 0!

Gotta be hard being an Asst coach at Arizona. How many times in the last 10 years do you think they’ve had some suggestions on beating a zone, offense, changing things up once in a while, etc. to no avail. I don’t know how to attach a pic, but you know “the look” they probably get from Miller when t...

So, 2 of our 3 losses are to his #1 & #2 teams, while Oregon shares a loss with his #1 team, and has 2 losses to unranked teams (don't give me that UNC was really the 6th best team when Oregon played them). Yet Oregon is #7 and UA is unranked. Similar logic with the other polls as well. Oregon does ...

This isn't mediocrity. I posted it earlier, but Miller's winning percentage is basically the same as Lute. Miller has won a higher % of Pac regular season titles than Lute. That's what I worry about. We'll forget what mediocrity looks like, get rid of Miller and bring in a new coach who shows us wh...

Pretty clear we’re not the premier program in the West anymore. Maybe #3. Had high hopes of a statement game tonight but it ended up a statement in the wrong way.

What is the difference between someone who drives around town in a vehicle while loaded and someone who walks around Walmart with an AK-47 that is loaded? Not to downplay either, but one is responsible for 29 deaths per day and the other for 0.2. Longhorned's comment is unfortunately sad but in man...

As far as the department goes it's separated.

A lot of good posts here but let’s be real. Everyone who follows college b-ball knows about the story of Miller paying Ayton $100k. And damn near everyone outside of this message board who follows college b-ball still thinks that’s the case because they don’t really care what happened at the trial a...

I'm not on Twitter, but was there any take from the bobblehead reporters about Self having texts in the last trial implicating him? He is the biggest name out there with some form of proof as I understand. They're waiting to burn CSM on the stake for info like they have on Self.

mofo

Haha. I would think anyone but a dip shit would wait until he sees his plate is clean. As far as I’ve seen, Slick Willy is on record & Mr Miller is not. You’re not even the big fish in your own conference right now.

It's not the packline. Fuck, Virginia is the number one team in the country and just won the ACC without 5* recruits. All they do is run packline. Let's revisit this if UVA gets to the FF. I'd say Michigan State has done pretty well running the packline for the last 20 years. 7 FF's, 1 Chip & 1 run...

What's the story on Miller V. ESPN/Slabach/Hansen defamation lawsuit? what's the holdup? Seems like a lot of your time is spent trolling. There's nothing wrong with having a different opinion, but doing it with the intent to stir things up without actually contributing seems like a waste of time. I...

To be fair, I live on the Chandler/Gilbert border in a stucco red tiled roof house (not much option in the area) and drive a lifted Toyota.

Don't post much but follow along pretty closely, especially in times like these.

I still think that from time to time 13 years...

I'm sure this has already been said since it's hard to keep up with all the posts, but didn't the original info that came out last fall from the FBI suggest that someone at University 4 had offered 6 figures to a recruit?

Do we know if any other agents or shoe companies were involved other than Andy Miller/Dawkins & Nike?

Ristic might argue. Stepped up big time tonight and is the MVP tonight. Great job closing the game by the whole team.

Has Trier ever passed to an open Alkins? I’ve seen Alkins wide open several times including on the fast break. I think Miller must tell the guys to always keep it on a fast break because they never pass it for the easy bucket on a 2 or 3 on 1 - the guy with the ball always tries to draw the foul.

In other words, Sumlin did less with more. A&M achieved your stats with an avg SOS of 19 while AZ’s avg was #40 over those years. So you could also argue he did the same against markedly tougher competition. How do you think RR’s stats would be different if UA played A&M’s schedule during that time...

He’s fine. I was playing 3rd one time and a runner on 1st tried to stretch a sacrifice bunt into 2 bases. After the put out at 1st, our first baseman with a cannon arm fired a short hop to 3rd to try to get the runner. I whiffed the pick off the short hop and the ball hit directly on the inside of m...

A LONG way to go to see that as a possibility right now. UNLV picked to finish 6th in conference they said. Still nice to see them pull it together in the 2nd 1/2

Barcello & Randolph even play in the 2nd half? Last thing I remember from Randolph was a bucket, then rebound or steal & a 3. Then never saw him again. Any ideas? His D is no worse than Smith who played a little

HATER, what do you consider a successful season? 7 wins? 10? 14? What we should be striving for as a program is to not be mediocre since that is what we've always been. The baseline minimum for an acceptable season should be 8-4. A good to great season is 9-10 wins. I'm not satisfied with 3-7 wins ...
