Oats can't build a title type team. Mark Few is who UNC needs.


I'm going to ask you to Google how many titles Mark Few has won and then revisit your post, with a clue this time.

I hope Byrne is leaning heavily into his, "At a blueblood you will always exist in someone else's shadow, if you stay here future coaches will exist in your shadow," pitch with Oats.
It would appear you chose violence. :lol:

Nobody's reading all that. I'm of the opinion that franchise history should revert back to the original city in the event of a name change if the original city receives a new franchise.



I did, in fact, read all of that, and what it says is that your opinion on what ought to happen doesn't matter because legally an NBA franchise's history moves with that franchise, even if it changes name and base of operations. The only way for an expansion franchise to legally claim the history of another franchise that previously operated in the same city is for that previous franchise to voluntarily relinquish it to them - which in this case is what it sounds like OKC will do if a new Seattle team does come into being.

re: Will Wade back to LSU

The governor decided that he wants LSU athletics to be competitive. It's Louisiana so no doubt there is quite a lot of state and childrens' hospital money being funneled under the table to help make it happen. :lol:

do they just leave 7'2 Mara as a rim protector and leave Sherrell alone at the 3 point line


They would be fools not to do this. I love Oats but the rock to his scissors is having your tallest player guard the rim and telling the other four guys to stay around the 3-pt line and try to clog potential kick-out lanes.
I posted in an earlier thread that I'm glad Wade is returning to LSU, but I do have a question for LSU fans given that this situation of a school rehiring a coach that they previously fired hasn't occurred very often: will you be happy if Wade simply repeats the same level of success that he previously had at LSU, or do you expect him to improve on that, and if so, why? And to be clear I'm not asking if you'd be happy compared to McMahon because that answer is obvious, I'm asking compared to your own expectations for his second tenure.
I can't imagine being up in arms about something this trivial. :lol: But then, I much prefer vocals with a normal-talking-style delivery as opposed to vocals with a professional-singer-style.

Oh, agreed. We're going to have to be on fire from beyond the arc, and both Sherrell and Williamson (ha ha ha) are going to have to have the games of their lives.

If LSU does rehire Wade

Good for them. SEC basketball is more fun when LSU is decent, and Oats and Wade had a nice little rivalry going. I'd like to see it, honestly.
I know it's a very small sample size but the team may be better without Holloway than they were with him. They play harder on defense and hit the boards more for sure, and there are still plenty of scorers on the floor. Not saying we beat Michigan, I think that will take a nearly perfect game, but I feel better about it than I did a week ago.

1. The Daily Show, during it's heyday, was absolutely fricking hilarious.

2. The Daily Show had an extremely negative impact on mass media generally.

Both of these statements can be true at the same time.

Riiiiiight. But you're all in on Will Wade coming back, I'm sure. :lol:

Don't pick on them too much. With their football program in the absolute shitter basketball has been all they've had the last few years, and now they don't even have that.
Auburn fans seethe with jealousy any time Oats' name is mentioned. :lol:
