Well, you know FR some schools have expectations and whether they have the culture or not at least try to act like they care about a culture of winning.
If Nick doesn't show steady improvement they will likely let his contract expire.Doesn't surprise me one bit to see Ehsan gone. He had 4 years to get them competing for championships and they were never really close.
I fully expect our administration to hold McDevitt to the same standard (please don't laugh at me)

Ya think?750k a year for 5 years guaranteed? We got hosed.
Amen. Some guy rolls in here 2 years ago with a UNC-Assville Bulldog avatar in his profile and now wants to preach to actual MT graduates and longtime donors who have been forced to watch Blue Raider Men’s Basketball get flushed down the toilet in the same 2 years.We’re so sorry kingaling that for those here who have a lot more invested in this school and in this athletics program that expressing our frustrations and concerns over having the worst basketball program in the history of our school is somehow bothersome to you. The door is over there if it’s too much for you.
In these last 2 years I'd bet I've watched more MT basketball than most here and I know I've watched more than you FR315.. carry on with your b!tching ladies and don't forget the cranberry juice at lunch today..
Good to know all is "normal" around here... don't let a little pandemic keep some of y'all from b!tching about the same stuff ad nauseam..
It is of some comfort that if all the meat in the US runs out at least we can recruit some of you to beat some horses to death..
Bullsh!t. You know next to jacksh!t if you are repping this lame coach. If it were a decent coach with a real background, I'd get it but this dude? LOL. You're not changing our minds. He has to do that on the court and so far, we've seen nothing. Bottom line. End of story.In these last 2 years I'd bet I've watched more MT basketball than most here and I know I've watched more than you FR315.. carry on with your b!tching ladies and don't forget the cranberry juice at lunch today..
Just like all the other stuff you talk about that you don't control- I'm not going anywhere..
To get back to the thread and the point.. UAB gave Ehsan 4 years, his first season he had 2 freshmen and 2 sophs on the roster; only 2 were moderate contributors- the rest were upperclassmen with 78.7% of minutes played and 76.1% of scoring returning from the 2015-16 season where the Blazers were 26-7 overall and 16-2 in CUSA; Regular Season Champs.. Ehsan couldn't replicate what Haase had going... he remained mediocre and had plenty to work with from the start.. apples/oranges..
Sit back, wash your hands (especially you two MT01 and FR315 from your circle jerk), enjoy your quarantines, and stay safe folks..
Get used to it. Until the turd is flushed, we're gonna complain about the stink.

I have been a fan for 20 years and that is far more than half my life, so according to you I can post on here as I please. He makes good points in all we do on here is say the same thing over and over. I would like to have something more positive to talk about, but as of right now we don't. Saying that what do you actually bring to this board or program? You have already said you don't donate, go to games, and are done with it. So why are you still here? Your words indicate you are done than be done, but don't come back when it turns around. We need real fans and not fair-weather ones like you.You are an embarrassment to yourself. You have a lot of nerve to come to this board and insult this fan base - well what’s left that your buddy hasn’t run off. There are people here like FR who has been doing this for longer than you’ve been alive and you think it’s ok to come here and chastise us about what we say? Really? I don’t give a damn if I start a thread every day here about this con job your buddy brought to town then that’s my prerogative. You; however, don’t have any legitimacy to come to this board and critique someone’s views here. If I were a moderator I would have already banned you for not having the honor and decency to know where you are before you insult long time alumni of this university.
MT01 is a realist. All of us should be up in arms. We should be camped out at McPhee's house raising hell. We have jobs and lives so we can't do that. We should because they destroyed what good we had. Until they do something right, we have every right to rail against it and we should.

This post clearly makes my point about beating a dead horse..
“Bottom line. End of story”.. then proceeds to post twice more afterwards about the same theme.. You can’t make this stuff up folks..
Hey it is what it is, people are not happy with this program or coach. It's gonna be like this until he truly steps up, enforces discipline and truly leads this thing. He hasn't done that yet. Until he does or leaves, we gonna give him hell. UAB just dumped a guy who is 4 times the coach this dude is. I'd take that dude over what we have in a heartbeat. That's where it's at. Don't like it, change the channel.

Good for you. I’ve met face to face with the AD on November 7th and told him exactly how I felt about the direction of the Football program. He knows I vehemently disagree with his handling of the Stockstill contract and the state of the Football program. Honestly, the only thing we discussed about basketball was that he told Kermit “no” when he asked for a similar deal to Stock’s. That is one thing he has done that I agree with. Your guy was just starting Year 2 and I didn’t really have any issues at that time. He said there would be Football staff changes forthcoming which have never happened and then after the season, he issued a statement on his assessment of Blue Raider Football that absolutely floored me.In these last 2 years I'd bet I've watched more MT basketball than most here and I know I've watched more than you FR315.. carry on with your b!tching ladies and don't forget the cranberry juice at lunch today..
Typical response as you make this all about you as usual.. To be clear I haven't insulted a fan base, I respect the vast majority of posters here and the folks I've met at games- I did however insult you and FR315, don't like it then follow your own advice and go away- you are not the entire fan base, let me repeat that for you- YOU, MT01, are not the entire fan base.. I played nice for a long time here until this year when you 2 posters have piled on me personally for posting anything, when one of you goes off on me I can always count on the other to come chiming in too within a few hours regardless of what I say- even when I don't say a word about CNM (note: this is the first time I mentioned him in this thread, surprising eh?).. there are plenty of posters here that I've treated with the same respect given and I will continue to do so- but I'm not going to be your door mat and if there's a code of conduct then I will pay that toll and you should too by how you've spoken to me in the past.. I debate with several others respectfully here despite differences of opinion- Wiley and I often disagree but I find him to be a straight shooter and he at times evaluates what people say and when inclined he's changed his stance based on the actual posts.
Which leads to the other problem as many others have told you MT01 is that you don't actually read what people are typing and trying to discuss, you continue to make the same lazy associations with people here from arguments, discussions, threads past.. I could type "The Sky is Blue" and here you and FR315 and brJT would come and blast me for defending CNM and blah blah blah- down the rabbit hole you go.. even brJT did the same thing, I mentioned actual facts about Ehsan's record, results, and the class he was left his first year.. blah blah blah CNM this CNM that.. where did I mention or defend CNM anywhere in this thread? You guys do the same thing to crposton when he mentions anything positive- it's not just me..
I get you're not happy- hell are any of us happy with where the program is? For what it's worth I'm not happy, I know CNM's not happy about it.. wallowing in misery isn't going to fix things. At some point true fans get behind the team- doesn't mean you're happy about it but that's what being a true die hard fan is actually about.. thick AND thin..
Otherwise if you're going to keeping nagging like a lady then don't be surprised if I make cranberry juice jokes insinuating that you're on your period, I trust you've seen The Departed.
Your view of things lacks merit. First and foremost I damn sure haven’t made lazy assessments. I’m the only one who made accurate ones from day one. Second, and more importantly you say you haven’t insulted a fan base but then admit you insulted me and FR. And most people now think and see what he and I do. About the only one in your corner is crposton. So yeah you insulted the vast majority of us. But regardless you insulted some of us and - like I said - you don’t have the status here to do so. You should self correct or be banned as a result. Therefore, I will reiterate GTFO. And you should feel welcome to do that on your own.
One other thing I want to correct. You making a statement that I'm trying to make this about me is an copout and attempt at misdirection. Let me clarify that one for you. This about MT. Not MT01. I don't care about how I'm viewed or if I have some sort of status here. I'm too old for that shit. I quit caring about things like that many, many years ago. All I care about is what happens to MT. About the present and future of MT. You can't say that. The only thing you care about here is the status of your friend, but you nor anyone else needs Captain Obvious to tell you that. So, no this isn't about me. Not even a little. This about MT and what's best for the university. I have sacrificed personally the benefits that come with consecutive years of annual giving to do what's right for this university, so your statement there is not only wrong it's another insult.
Lastly, even if you didn’t insult anyone directly you have been doing it indirectly for months. you have persistently attempted to favorably influence opinion here in favor of CNM. You sit here and claim you are just trying to have conversation with folks but that’s utter bullshit. For every legit discussion message you have published there are three or four where the message is agenda driven. That’s what I have been calling you out for. If you want to post here and have legit conversations and refrain from trying to influence opinion I have no problem with that but - most certainly- is not what you’ve been doing and you don’t like being challenged on that. And I bet Space and other moderators see it too. So, I’m officially calling on moderators to officially issue a warning to kingaling to drop this tactic. It’s hard enough going through these last two years without having to wade through why we should all be more optimistic about CNM.
I believe you came here with good intentions. So, do I believe you came here with an agenda? No. Do I believe things have evolved in that regard? Yep.
You have been unable to follow through on those good intentions as things went south and you attempted to prop up a coach and a friend who was failing. That’s the bottom line and to insult the intelligence of those of us who care a hell of a lot more about this place than you do is unfortunate. And to double down by suggesting I need help and have mental health problems you have simply validated everything I’ve said.
Had I meandered over to Ole Miss forums and exclaimed for the last two years what a find they had in Kermit and all the reasons why he’s going to build a contender and then criticized and critiqued the alumni who contested his abilities then perhaps you would have a point about my mental state. Just a thought.
What you describe in that last paragraph however is not what I’ve actually done.. and that’s my problem with you.. you simply don’t read the posts or you don’t comprehend them- I’m not sure the disconnect but clearly you respond in a way that is unwarranted for what I actually say most times.. and just because I’m friends with CNM isn’t a reason for you to make those lazy associations each time I post something.. when is the last time I posted blind optimism or sunshine around here? FR315 went all the way back to the Mars Hill game.. so yeah evidently that’s a constant agenda..
