Number 9

"But Memphis really shouldn’t lose like that to anyone. The first season of the Tubby Smith Era has not been pretty:"

I don't get the excuses. No, we don't want the coach fired, but this has been the worst three weeks of Tiger basketball in a generation.

Nothing wrong will calling it like it is. Tubby, BAM, Poop, and Sonny Boy better have some really big surprises in store for next year's roster or this time next year they won't have anyone in their corner.

Maybe they do have a couple of stud jucos / graduate transfers lined up. I guess anything can happen? I never thought I'd see the Tigers lose a basketball game by over 40 points to ANYONE; but I did.

I agree these five losses have been horrendous. Losing games period is not fun. Fuente had to change the losing culture in football to a winning culture. The kids had to buy in the process. Mike Norvell is taking the football program to another level. The kids have to buy in it's that simple. Fuente didn't win in his first two yrs here. Talk about rebuilding a program! I will forever be grateful for what he did for Tiger football.

That sums it up perfectly.

There is no excuse for losing by 40-something. Yeah, SMU is Top 25 and we suck, but that's when teams with heart step up and play their best ball. Not this team. Whether it's on the coach more or the players more will probably become known when some of the players are gone and the coach is still here, but whoever is more responsible for bringing this about, it's an embarrassment.

There's just no way to sugar coat losing 6 of the last 8. There's obviously a problem that's not related to talent. It's either some of the players don't like the coach or don't like each other. The coach will be here next year for sure. Probably a good idea to get rid of whoever is causing the issue regardless of who it is.

Are you really naïve or are you just trolling ? Or is it a little of both . You're not very funny and not very bright in either case. You got personal--right back at you tough guy.

Not making excuses. Just saying I give him 3 years.

Yep, better be some improvement next year, and a date to the dance after that.
Need to get to work.

Within 2 years, Georgia tech will probably be looking for a new coach...hmm...

Exactly. However he gets there, just get there. Then build on that. But it needs to happen within the next 2 seasons
