I'm in two. I like SEC basketball. It's the SEC rant. Want to point me to the moratorium that says only Arkansas fans can only post in your threads. It certainly doesn't keep other fanbases out of ours.

Look, I don't post much anymore but I read a lot and you're in a lot of them all the time. This is not the first day.

Maybe you Arky hens can go bitch about me on the Arky board again.

I don't recall ever doing that but they are free to do as they please. Take it up with them.

My realistic perception is that we are a top 30ish program that has looked a lot more like a barely top 150 program since the dawn of this millennium.

People outside the state just don't see how much things have changed since the 90s with our basketball program. From the last few years of Nolan until the hiring of Mike we seriously made every single mistake we COULD have.

Mike won't take us back to where we need to be, but he is an improvement and I personally think if he had been hired to replace Nolan a LOT of bad blood would have been spared and we could have built ourselves back up very quickly. Instead we made some of the worst possible hires. So many recruiting ties were severed by that 10+ year span that we are still suffering though it, I do believe that when Mike moves on we will make a very solid hire based mostly on the foundation he rebuilt, but I don't see us being a consistent tournament team until we have a staff that is better at in game coaching and teaching of fundamentals. Best case for us is Mike lucks out a few years in a row and retires and we carry the momentum forward.
