When Mike first came here and the the first four seasons of his tenure they couldn't quit harping on the road woes. Their slant made it sound like they were his woes alone at the time.
Now that his teams have won more games on the road in 6 years than the program did he decade before his arrival combined, tied for first in road wins this season in the sec, they have flipped the narrative to how he has fixed he programs road woes that existed before him.
I know it's just sports and integrity and transparency in reporting factual in bias information is held to the same standard we think other forms of reporting "the important" stuff are, it should be a reminder or eye opener for those who allow sports to impact their daily emotions way too often...

This team should be better than it is

So they have given him credit after criticizing him? This is a good thing

Should it?
7 newcomers going into the year and the team appears to be telling and figuring it all out at the right time i the year...
But that has nothing to do with this post...

Oh it shouldn't be? Moses is a huge let down this year. Huge that we're actually rebounding this year.

I'm not sure how you expect him to not be with how heavy this team is in regard to guard play.

How is Moses a let down?
His numbers were inflated due to the roster last year, this roster doesn't have to rely on him for success.
It's all about guard play, the successful teams have it

No, it has more to do with the graphics marking it appear it became a problem when he was hired when in fact it had been a problem for a decade plus at that time for the program.
It's basically cherry picking the information you want to make or imply a statment to get a certain response from the receipents or as they call it in the rant "trolling".

Eh, Mike had higher expectations on him. You aren't wrong about it being an issue before he arrived but I don't think it was unreasonable for the media to have higher expectations than the previous coaches.
Just be glad the media is giving him his due and not trying to make excuses as to why we are having success on the road atm.

Well, Arkansas was bad on the road. It wasn't a slant, it was fact. There is a difference.

Again, just facts. What do you expect them to report?

fake news

I chalk it up to lazy reporting. While the team had a long history of losing SEC road games, and Mikes 1st 2 years were not good on the road, he has been solid on the road since then. The narrative on our road record hasn't changed much until this year although our team has been well above average for the last 3 years.

When I think of madden, mickleson, wade, young, Scott, jacorey the word clutch is not a verb I think to describe them
Maybe the players had something to do with it.
