After Marshall strung Battle along and squeezed everything he wanted out of Wichita State, Battle panicked and gave the job to the first person that expressed any interest and that was Avery. ...

Part of the problem is we’ve had two guys that don’t know shite about basketball make the last 3 hires. Mal hired Gottfried and Grant which weren’t bad hires, they just backfired. Battle gave Avery the job when he called and asked for it. Battle couldn’t hire the right janitor much less a coach. ...

We have to literally shite on basketball to make it this bad for this long. Schools like Belmont and Davidson with a fraction of our resources put together a consistently good program with regular conference championships and tournament appearances while we flounder and struggle to remain mediocre. T...

From our perspective, yes, yes they are. It’s sad when you consider how many mid majors can put together a competitive basketball team. ...

Yeah, that extra Nike money would come in handy right about now. Maybe we should ask Nike or Battle to pay the buyout. Nike for doing us dirty and Battle for being the dumb frick that allowed them to. ...

I still say Byrne had insufficient information to make that decision when it was made and he was told to do it. ...

Let me lay next season out for you because I’ve seen this movie before. Team starts well against a pretty good OOC schedule but there’s an inexplicable loss or two in there against a nondescript mid major. Hope rises for a decent season. January rolls around and conference play begins and we win som...

Man it sucks realizing we’re going to be next year’s Vanderbilt. I doubt we go 0-18 in the league but we’ll be the team that everybody looks at on the schedule and pencils in the automatic W. ...

This ain’t over yet. Until April 16th rolls around and that squeaky little fricker is still our coach, I refuse to believe they will leave his sorry arse in place making $3 million to lead the team to .500 and the NIT every season. I’ve got to believe they are haggling over terms of his termination. ...

Are we playing a college or a freaking railroad?...

I don’t want us to win another basketball game as long as Avery is coach. ...

I’d rather them reward Belmont for being consistently good every year and winning 20 plus games than hand Avery a bid just for not totally shitting the bed and living on the Bubble ...

You know if we had another Wimp or CM develop where we’ve gone to multiple tournaments over several years, I’m all for a bigger buyout to try and keep them but frick this giving them a huge buyout the first time they sniff success. ...

I’m at a Cirque du Soleil show in Orlando. Keep me posted which frustrated mid major is going to whip our arse and end the Avery experiment. ...

Madonna Thompson for Curry and Steve Forbes for Avery. Let’s make it happen. If they’d just let us run the athletic department, shite would get fixed. We ain’t putting up with half-assedness...

Already following you, dawg. ...

Brannen took over Northern Kentucky when they were just a couple of years removed from jumping from D 2 to D1. They joined the Horizon League and in year 1 Brannen went 9-21. The next 3 years he went 24-11, 22-10, and 26-8. He’s won the league regular season this year and last year and made the tour...

Forbes and Brannen. Both have built their mid major from rent-a-wins to tournament teams in short order. Both have ties to Bama and know what they are getting into and might stay for a while if successful. And it shouldn’t be an issue but if it is, shouldn’t break the bank to hire them. And both are...

You almost have to make a move. Wait much longer and nobody will want the job except a mid major guy hoping he gets lucky because we will be so far behind the rest of the league. We are about to be the laughingstock of the league. ...
