Man that is weak.

Are the Jack Rabbits good?  Does St Thomas play anyone good?  What is our fascination with St Thomas again?

They have a player mentioned prominently in the portal wish list thread.

Probably good enough to beat us this year, but point taken.

Oh, you dirty old man!

I'm doubting St. Thomas plays anyone good.

Few is only 63.

Why do you think this is the only year Schertz can go elsewhere? And, if they can win at high levels next year where he is now, there isn't a big incentive to leave this year. It also doesn't consider other aspects of the job, which matter to him.

Why aren't you also saying Few needs to retire this particular season? Why aren't you also advocating for specific Big East coaches to leave this particular year? Should Shaka leave this year? Is that what you are saying? I'm just trying to understand why it's different for Schertz this particular year and not the others?

There have been retirement rumors for years about Few.  He's already named a successor.  He's not going to be around much longer and will be gone prior to the next major college athletics shift.

This is just going to be a circular argument.  There will be good jobs that open up this offseason.  There are every offseason.  Schertz will be one of the better coaches available.  He'll get a good job offer at a program that will be in a good position come the next inevitable shift in the landscape of college athletics, and he'd be a fool not to make the jump prior to that happening.  SLU will not be in that good position, billionaire booster or not.

Every mid major that has a nice season is "the next Gonzaga."  Or "the A10's Gonzaga."  Butler was going to be the Gonzaga of the A10, too.  The A10 will be even more irrelevant in college basketball than it is now before there's another Gonzaga in college basketball.

Like I said, I'd put my money on Schertz not being at SLU next year.

You're doubting Thomas?

[Scoop Snoop]

You're doubting Thomas?

Yeah, but he came around eventually, after getting irrefutable proof.

[Hards Alumni]

So if it's okay for Few to stay where he is at this time, why isn't it also okay for Schertz? They both can win at high levels where they are now.

Few is 63

Schertz is 50

According to Yahoo Sports, the wins for Portland and Minnesota over Gonzaga and MSU, respectively, marked the first time in 36 years that two teams with losing records beat top-10 ranked opponents on the same day.

At this point no, because Few will just retire when the chasm between the haves and have nots in college athletics continues growing to the point it's unsustainable for the have nots. But if Few came along 20 years later than he did, yes he'd be a fool not to make the jump when a solid high major program makes the call to him.

I'm guessing someday we'll be saying Buzz wasn't wrong, he was just early. And that's about the Big East, not even the A10.

Sherman was right.

Buzz will always be wrong.
