Ridgnal to Missouri St. That gives us a pretty good idea of the level of talent we had on last year's squad. White has his work cut out for him.

Seems like I remember somebody on here was pretty positive we had assembled nothing more than average mid-major talent and posted that consistently, starting last summer, right on through the season.

Seems I remember someone who never says anything in support of the program Mr. Negative. It is not my habit to come on the board and just beat up a coach and a team. I don't know how that helps the program. Crean was obviously on his last legs. We had shown modest improvement until those players Crean recruited in his first full class decided to leave. Then the bottom fell out. I had never seen any of the new recruits play, so I wasn't arrogantly going to proclaim them to be bad players and that the team would suck just because I had no clue about them. But ya know, Bridges turned out to be a pretty good player - despite all the people complaining that he didn't even start at UIC. Ingram turned out to be a pretty good player, even though his recruitment was decried. Oquendo turned out to be a pretty good player, even though he was a JUCO guy. JAR can do some good things, though he seems to be a work in progress. And 2 of Crean's best players got hurt. Nobody knows what the team might have done had Ingram and Horne not gotten hurt. But you continue to be negative.... That will sure help the program.

I was likely the most positive poster on here during the 12-6 season…. you remember, the one where you wanted to fire the coach. I still feel that 4 year stretch where we went 42-30 is under appreciated. You wanted to fire the coach every year.

That's generally how it works, if we finish 12-6 to 9-9, I'm gonna be somewhere in the positive range. If we hire some clown who immediately goes 2-16 & finishes 15-57 in his time here?? HELL YEAH I'M GONNA BE NEGATIVE!!

How you road Fox's a$$ so hard and then turn into some limp-noodled excuse maker for four years is odd.

Bingo

If you bothered to check, you will observe that I fully supported Fox for basically the 1st 4 years of his tenure. It was only after that I began to cite problems. So, no "limp-noodle excuse maker" here; just someone who thinks a coach deserves time to show what he can do before teeing off on him. You might want to check the record or your fallacious memory....
