Mizzou 2010 Hoops

[JL21]

Reading some of his comments, he at least seems like a very likable coach. And I appreciate the graduation rate. I hope he makes me look like a real [expletive] for pissing and moaning about the hire.

I know you love the U and all but ... elite academically? Sure, it's a fine school and all but it's not like they are Vandy or Northwestern unable to take on dumbasses.

It's rated #48 and is a Tier 1 school in the entire country. I don't know the number of four year schools out there, but I'd imagine top-50 and a Tier 1 school (highest possible), is elite by any measure. If it's considered top-5%, how could that not be considered elite?

I'm willing to bet a lot more sketchy athletes have gotten in to Miami than Mizzou, whatever the rankings are for other students.

Based on your personal bias, sure. But really, you're just pulling stuff out your arse and posting it.

I'm looking forward to hearing what he had to say tonight. I've heard he's put emphasis on getting Mizzou a legit big, which I'm glad to hear.

I don't know how he'll work out, but at the very least, I'd say a sincere effort is likely.

Reggie is a legit big, and he developed him.

You guys will love his personality. It's all a matter of proving he can win. If he gets a few breaks early on, Alden could get the last laugh. It was a bad situation at Miami, where he wasn't really loved, they couldn't afford a second coach buyout.

I'm ready to jump on board for a season or two but only if I can still call him Bunk.

Yeah, Miami has a long history of upstanding citizens on its football team. Based on your personal bias, I doubt you will ever acknowledge that.

Fantastic.

At this point, I'm 25% "There's more to Haith than meets the eye! M-I-Z!!!!" and 75% "When the [expletive] does football start?"

That's up from a 1/99 ratio yesterday.

We don't really have a choice but to talk ourselves into it.

Capel is a really interesting hire. He is an extremely successful recruiter, but shares some of the weaknesses I've read about Haith. I'm kind of surprised he didn't wait to see if a HC job would come along.
