re: Where's the Mike Anderson Haters?

Holy Christ, I can't believe what I'm reading here. A final four banner is worth exactly nothing except a little recruiting leverage, but Frank G-damn Martin couldn't even parlay HIS banner into recruiting. If he did, he did a terrible job. If anything, he showed the world how to squander a final four appearance.



These frickin guys.

It may mean more at Arkansas, but Martin did nothing with his. Nothing at all. They're like the worst team in the league this year. And the league isn't very good.

but suggesting that Frank Martin took USC to a higher level of performance at a faster pace, isn't....

Again, Final 4, even better than a Sweet 16.. MA hasn't even sniffed his jock strap … yet!

I'm not gonna play the shifting goalposts argument anymore, rev. This is the very definition of a fruitless debate you are pursuing here. Baby Jesus says, "tsk tsk".

Especially when you consider that Carolina has fallen off the map since their one tournament run that they got nothing to show for

So in one post you say that it is okay that Mike has had no losing seasons, but then claim Carolina has fallen off the map post their final four run even though they haven't had a losing season?

So which is it?

BTW, isn't this fun?

No. It isn't, Rev. It isn't fun to have to try and justify my fandom of the only team I've ever loved for my entire life to fellow "fans" of the same program.

It's the eloquence of your words that suggest to me you're a man of mighty stature indeed, good sir.

I'll leave the descriptions of various types of excrement to your sound judgment.

I wish it were as simple as that. There are folks here who root for us to lose so Anderson looks bad. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

If need be I can point it out when they post, but I've done that before and it doesn't make any difference. So I would rather just drop it if that's alright with you guys. I mean, I've intimated as much several times now. That's the part that makes a person feel like they're justifying their fandom. "Hey guys, I'm sorry I even made the thread, let's move on."

"HELL NO, we are going to continue to talk in circles and make logically inconsistent arguments while claiming you're stubborn for sticking to your point!"

Apparently because it's "fun."

BoarEd…

I am glad you are on this board, and I think you are a huge fan. As am I, I want greatly for MA to be ultra successful. I am not sure you could find a better human being to lead our BB program in any fashion.

I just want success from the past, to happen again. And I don't think he can, or will do it. Just because some of us believe we should have seen more results by now, doesn't mean we aren't passionate and desiring success. We simply are greatly exacerbated by the ineptitude of some of these players in the past, and the team as a whole.

You are stubborn, so am I... Where I guess I wrongly thought we were having a fun debate, you were not appreciative of said debate. I enjoy this stuff. Razorback fans going at it, in a passionate discourse.

If I offended you, I apologize.. Doesn't change the way I feel or believe. Hope MA proves me wrong, it would make me very happy!
