George makes a lot of sense, if you ask me.


What is unfair and unethical is the head coach of the Memphis Tigers Basketball team cashing $200K checks every month after losing to CBU.

George blows.

It certainly makes sense to fire Pastner or to at least fine him for losing to CBU in OT. By, why stop there? If Fuente loses to USF, fire him too. Fire them all. Losing at Memphis is an event that our fans cannot accept and our coaches must prevent Memphis from EVER losing a game to ANYONE. We know we are to most perfect athletic program on the face of the earth and should expect nothing less than perfection especially from our 18 and 19 year old players in every game. Fire them all, pull their scholarships and then hire some more coaches and fire them too if they lose. I like this plan for ultimate success in athletics. And... fire Bowen while we are at it to...he is the guy in charge and what happens is ultimately his responsibility. Once we get rid of all these problems...things will be a lot better.

Here's to hoping that the apathy surrounding the basketball team will result in higher ticket sales for the football team saturday. Sadly, I don't see it happening. It will be the typical 27,000-32,000

With decent weather, want to bet? (If raining bet's off)
Bets on, amigo.

Maybe. I can remember being in Hot Springs over a Labor Day weekend and turning on the news after a day at the golf course. Arkansas had lost to Citadel and Frank Broyles fired Jack Crowe THAT DAY.

Some things cross the line.

Obviously Josh won't be fired because he lost to CBU, but RC isn't here anymore and I don't get the picture that Tom Bowen is a sunshine pumper.

Interesting comment, what makes you say that TB isn't a sunshine pumper?

I liked RC personally, but I got the impression that he never was going to rock the boat. Tommy West had to go, but other than that RC just wanted to ride the wave.

I just have the impression that Bowen is a no nonsense kind of guy with a lot of ideas and lot of fire in his belly. And he is here to do a job, not to have one.

Will you be there? Or does your disdain for our QB prevent it?
Haven't missed a single home game in 24 years. I don't hate our QB. He is a fantastic young man. I hate his decisions and lack of talent in many areas of his game

In here that is the same as hating him.

TB is an AD. He's not a fan and doesn't get to wallow like we do.

I heard George and I too tend to agree with what he said. To have all these people demanding Josh be fired, considering his over all record, only a couple of games into this season and with 10 new team members is simply preposterous.

To all those who want him gone now, simply raise the multi millions of dollars to buy out his contract and turn it over to the athletic department. Let me know how that goes.

What would George have said about this season's results thus far if Calipari were still here?

Shalom y'all.

Winner winner, Kosher dinner.
