Pinkel on Tyler Hunt -

"I get asked about him when he gets a 70-yard run. Nobody asked about him before that."

Yep, it's time for the Pinkel era to end. He's just frustrated that the RBs were not correctly evaluated in camp and was hesitant when it became glaring during the regular season Ish was not the right choice.

I think people are not upset about this whole situation as they should be. People who don't even watch much football can tell Ish is not prepared or does not currently have the skills to be a quality back at this level. The coaching staff must know this and yet still continues to play him so much. If teaching a player a lesson is more important than having a player with more potential than a player who has already shown he is not going to get the job done, your coaching staff has some screwed-up principles.

And if Abbington gets more carries and plays well, the coaching staff will and should hear it. Now if the coaches truly believe Ish Witter should be a starting back, some coaches need to be fired.

Pinkel has done a lot of good for this program but I look forward to the start of the next HC's (*cough*Odom*cough) tenure to just experience how things go when they are done a little differently. I like that Memphis is still performing well so we could bring some of those talented coaches over here when the time calls.

There is no way there aren't some coaches who also think Hansbrough should be getting less carries. I think the most likely scenario is that there are higher-up coaches who either think differently or there are just more sport politics at work behind the scenes. Abbington clearly already seems like our best blocking RB.

Haha, stop it. The Royals are trying to be the "Bad Boys" of baseball but are failing miserably. No one fears them in that way. The Royals handled this whole situation in the worst possible way and have came out looking 10 times worst than Brett Lawrie. You can't play around with throwing a 95+ mph fastball at someone's head, that's why the threat is different than threats made in other sports. There is a difference between a hard check in hockey, a hard foul in BBall, even throwing at someone's ribs and then there is throwing a fastball at someone's head.

Kills always finds a way to bring up racism but only when it's supposedly against white people or he thinks it's not true. You need a hobby man. It's clear what's on your mind. But the said part is that you will say the most outlandish stuff and people run to proclaim how amazing your points are.

If you really believe that, then I just don't know what to say. With a top coach, this team would be playing on another level. To assume the results would be the same no matter what coach we have is crazy. We wouldn't necessarily be a ranked team but we wouldn't be an embarrassment with a top coach I guarantee.

Oh please stop with that race BS. No one in D1 BBall gives KA respect because he is a D2 coach. No one cares about what you did at that level when you pass it. Players are and should be pissed at him because he is trying to be a stern discipline without even being a decent coach first. It has nothing to do with his age and race. There are many old white coaches that the players would respect if they had any credibility at the D1 level. In fact, most of the top coaches right now are older white guys. No one is talking about race not because it's too PC of an issue but because it's not an issue. And you somehow tried to tie the Ferguson situation in with this. There are many reasons to not respect KA as a coach at this level that race is not even on the radar.

People want to reflect as little blame as possible onto KA. I just want to know how long is it going to take for a majority of people to admit KA was not the best possible hire.

I just don't see Mauk making the big jump next year. While other QBs may need to just get some more experience under their belts, it seems like Mauk needs to change how he approaches the position. Mauk needs to learn how to stay in the pocket and when to leave the pocket. Some QBs will just never have great pocket awareness. Mauk makes 4, 5 bad passes in a row but then throws a great 50 yard bomb making many forget his bad ones.

I want Lock to put on some weight though. Even-though you look at QBs like Terry Bridgewater who are able to play at an elite level while being really skinny, I still think Lock needs to pack on some weight.

Haven't heard anyone bring up Karon Randolph, WR out of E. Stl High. Already has an offer from Florida state. He's 6'4" and 190 lbs. I'm surprise Mizzou hasn't offer him yet. Seems like a decent BBall player too.
