Welcome back. Next time get someone other than Newsie to fill in for you. At best, he was a 2 out of 10.

I know MU82 compared his tenure to Wojo, but I am not. So far, he has accomplished less in his tenure than his predecessor, Herb Sendek, who was fired after nine seasons.  And Herb Sendek is about as mediocre a coach as there is in college basketball - hard to believe he's in his 26th season as a head coach.  He has a career winning percentage of .576 and a conference record well under .500.

I think it is safe to say that they were expecting more when they hired him.

Sendek was the young hot shot at Miami, then actually did a pretty solid job at NC St.  Only missed the post season once, 5 straight NCAAs and 60% winning percentage in the ACC the last 5 seasons.  But he was getting killed by Duke and UNC, so alums were annoyed and he left on his own for a place with low expectations.  ASU had 2 NCAAs in 15 years prior to him, they would have killed for those NC State results.  But no doubt he was truly mediocre at ASU once Harden left.

Santa Clara was just happy to have a coach who was COY in 3 diff conferences and he can coast there as long as they don’t bottom out

Compared to you?  I’m James Naismith.  Stick to agreeing with Goose

that you just didnt take.....

[Goose]

I have to say Lenny’s post was spot on. Rico needs to find a find a new pigeon to fill in when he is not online.

  i knew james naismith and sir, you are no james naismith

boy this place was doing just fine without you the past 2 weeks

[JakeBarnes]

Wait are we talking about pigeons or owls? I'm not an ornithologist and want to focus on the right thing.

[Goose]

Jake

To make things easier, replace pigeon with lackey. We are having a nice owl discussion and hate to muddy the water.

Just stick to agreeing with Goose and keep the basketball talk to the adults

He has the grace of a swan, the wisdom of an owl, and the eye of an eagle—ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!

Just because he hasn’t rejected me like Joy Behar has constantly rejected you shouldn’t make you jealous, but alas, here we are

I agree with this analysis.

FTR, most of the examples in "Isn't it Ironic" aren't actually irony.  They are just unfortunate coincidences.

[tower912]

Yes.

Right?!  Hasn’t Alanis ever seen “Reality Bites”?

Or is Alanis being ironic by writing a song about irony filled with unironic situations???

[Dr. Blackheart]

The only thing Newsie has in common with Rico is Puerto.  The Meatheads need to focus their ire elsewhere. Newsie is into parody. Just know if you don't get the first layer, there are two or three others.

Yeah, that's the point of the song.  Don't you think?

And yeah I really do think.

She made millions and it is still being discussed.
