Easy answer: Watched 7 years of Wojo mediocrity. How about you, Fluffy Blue Monstrosity?

In other words you’ve done nothing. Why are you so complacent?

I love the recruiting and the way he runs the program with integrity and has a team that represents the school well. He clearly needs an assistant to help with the in game adjustments necessary to win close games. I think many big time coaches (ie Lou Carnesecca and probably Al McGuire) had help from their assistants with the intricacies of the game
Hank Raymond’s was the day-in day-out guy. AL was showtime!

Yeah but “Hanks” don’t often exist in today’s game. They are usually getting head coaching jobs of their own.

I wrote a letter

No one asked, but when they called for my annual scholarship donation I declined and stated I would continue to decline until we stop embracing mediocrity on the basketball court.

We beat Wisconsin, a game we "could have" won and did.
I was expecting a loss against UCLA. No harm done in my book. 18 TOs will not give many chances for a W.

Right, but this is the point. We easily *could* have come out of OSU/UW/UCLA 2-1 - and that would have been a "B" or "B+" (if one of the 2 is UW). 3-0 is an "A". 1-2 with the one win being UW is a C+.

This is the thing with Wojo - he's just on the slightly worse side of being a solid coach ("B"). He's not terrible, but which the exception of November 24th, 2018 to February 23rd, 2019 he's never been better than expected.

I thought we were going to lose all three. I would of loved to have gone 2-1 or 3-0, but the actual results exceeded my expectations. I would love to have a team that I could expect to win all three, but we do not.
I do not see us being better than .500 in Big East. To be better than .500 you have to win more road games than the games you lose at home, which I find hard to see actually happening. I predict 7-3 and 3-7 for 10-10.

I think you're spot on with the first 3.....maybe shockingly so and I'll give you George C for Keefe though I thought his career mimicked Brando more, started like Street Car and ended like Apacolypse Now.

4ever is so much Jim Varney, really no other choice.

I’ll take it!

From Broadcast News to Drive to Mother, etc ... Albert Brooks brings it. It takes a strong actor to be able to bring out both the drama and hilarity that is me. He is a great writer and director, too. But mostly, he’s a mensch!

A weird Steve Wojciechowski mention this morning on WFAN's Boomer & Gio morning show (in NYC).
Someone called in to ask if they knew who Steve Wojciechowski was and that he resembled Boomer Esiason and could be his look alike.  They spent a minute looking for an image online and then heavily disagreed (which he doesn't) and that was the end of it.

I have had multiple people, over the course of 20+ years, say I look like Tim Robbins.

Neither my wife nor I see it though.
