Quote from: Byrdman on Today at 10:38:34 PMI read enough crap!!!! Most of you are a bunch of whining bitches!!! I suspect that some of the Shaka hate has underlying racial sentiment. There are others who don't understand that Shaka is building a solid program, and that takes time. Do I like his stubborn approach, yes and no. Give him the opportunity to fail. How long did it take Jay Wright/John Thompson/Brad Stephens?? Bake or Microwave??? As a proud alum (class of 1980) bake is fine by me, the ship is in the hands of someone who cares about the program and it's perception nationwide. I think we'll all be satisfied with the results come March if we just have some FREAKING patience. If you love your school like I do, stop belly-aching and enjoy the process.

lol look I'm all for giving Shaka a mulligan, he's earned it from 2023 & 2024 but if you think this team is getting somewhere in March you're way out of touch with what needs to happen in the non conference to get an at large bid.

RGV should just be quietly dropped. After being a nice team motto for a few years, it's now become a meme. There is no positive connotation to it anymore and never will be again.

With all the angst of the MU fan base right now, if ever there was a time to
"Win Any Way" it is right now. And no, it's not "Anyway" because we are not playing connected basketball right now. And we will take ANY way of getting a W.

Lol, come on.

I'm with BYRDMAN. This is one damn season. And even that ain't over. We have a veritable Chef d' 🏀 at the helm of our program. He will get it done.

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 03:08:12 PMWell, apparently this is who Penn State is hiring.

If Bob Chesney, a coach who spent his whole life, much less his coaching career, at smaller schools on the Eastern Seaboard, is an odd hire for UCLA (which I would tend to agree).  Then PSU focusing on Sitake, who has spent all but 2 years of the last THIRTY years in Utah, is really bizarre. He's a good coach but I don't know how he fits in State College/the B10

Last post on the golf analogy.
I was talking with a PGA pro about the late great teacher Harvey Penick. (Little Red Book)📕 .

"Play Golf like a conversation with nature."  Immerse yourself in the beautiful surroundings and just trust what you've trained.

Maybe there's a way the coaching staff can get these guys to take the pressure off themselves and just have fun out there?!
Like Al used to say, "create a party on the court and keep it going."

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:31:10 PMRGV has been their catch phrase for years. They also use culture, violence, EGBs, etc.

Thanks, thought it was Growth, Development, Retention.  Guess that Development phrase got lost along the way. Can't wait for next one.

Quote from: nyg on Today at 10:20:36 PMYeah, but Shaka has had a new one each year.

First it was "play with violence"
Then it was "culture", which has continued to nauseum of course.
Then it was EGB or EKG, whatever
Now it's RGV

Can't wait for next year's motto/theme. Almost like a narrative for nicknames for everyone in elementary school.
