I never said he was worse or equal. Only a little better.

Great game Aggies!!!! Well deserved.

Pressey....If you think you're all that, please go into the NBA draft. You're doing us more harm than good. Bit my tongue.

Arkansas and Mizzou may go winless on the road this year.

You said he was "only a slight improvement" over Dash.

Melvin Watkins managed to beat #21 Missouri at home in the 2003 season, so I'm not putting much stock in this game.

Missouri out Kennedy'd Kennedy.

Pressey is the 4th best shooter on the court. Yet he feels entitled to take that crappy shot every time.

Why do you only put stock in your losses and not your wins? Just enjoy the wins. We don't have to be reminded about how bad you think your coach is.

frick you Mizzou! You're supposed to beat us and get Kennedy fired.


Kennedy was never going to be fired this season. He has, however, an excellent opportunity to match Melvin Watkins best season (6 conference wins, .500 overall, and failure to make the NIT). Watkins even beat #21 Missouri at home by 2 that season.

I was in school during the Watkins years. The team is almost identical in style of play (or lack thereof) and ability to play well below their talent level.

Bowers, Brown, Ross, Oriakhi, Bell, Criswell, Rosberg and Feldman all have better FG% than him. And he's barely better than Criswell from 3.

its a nice system you have set up

if we lose, you can complain about how awful BK is

if we win, you can claim the team we beat isn't that great anyway and then go on to complain about how awful BK is.

no matter what you will complain about BK!

Unless he manages to make at least the NIT, with a .500 or better conference record, he's no better than Melvin Watkins part 2.

In fact, Kennedy has yet to get the home win over a top ten school that Watkins got over #10 Oklahoma State my senior year.

Kennedy, as the last hire of Bill Byrne, will always carry that stench, no matter what he does.

Is A&M really playing below its talent level, though?

You guys have one go-to scorer (Turner), another pretty good shooter (Harris), a freshman point guard (Reese), a freshman wing (Caruso), and some inconsistent big men (Turner, Roberson). Sounds like an NIT team to me, which is basically what A&M is this season.

Is A&M less talented than SOUTHERN, ALABAMA, LSU, and GEORGIA? Are they deficient enough in talent to almost lose to Mississippi State?

Which is why A&M will FAIL to make the NIT like Watkins did in his BEST season (14-14, 6-10)

Alabama has more talent than A&M. LSU probably has less depth, but they do have a good point guard, which A&M doesn't have (Harris isn't really a PG, Reese is young). Georgia has one lottery pick surrounded by a bunch of mediocre talent. Decide for yourself whether or not you think that that's as good as A&M's talent. The only team out of those three that A&M is CLEARLY more talented than is Southern. However, you don't fire a coach over one game. We lost to fricking JU a few years ago but went on to make the Elite Eight.

Meh. You'll probably make the NIT this season.
