Nowhere is there any statement about my obsession for Pastner. You know (cough) how I felt about Pastner the past few years.

I was simply explaining that Joe, just like Pastner, is tied into self-help/catchphrase stuff, is SUPER positive, and extremely hyper.

Those are not criticisms or praises, merely drawing similarities.

Understandably so and duly noted

If you're not on meds, you need to be.

You're one to talk. You're the biggest psychopathic cheerleader there is on this board.

They had an assistant on every week during the season



Until the losing streak


Then they stopped wanting to come on

Seriously?

Actually I have heard we are a joke around the nation and people are asking if we miss Pastner.

I'm hearing the exact same thing. It's so embarrassing and pathetic. If I'm the marketing director, I initiate a marketing campaign to create a new fan base willing todonate to the university, ignite and redefine season ticket subscribers, promote the basketball program in a positive light (in lieu of all the dramatics), etc. This is long overdue. They have the audacity to wonder why the p5 conferences do not want to add Memphis. Tubby is known all over the world. This kind of negative spotlight on the fan base is not healthy or warranted. The recruits are aware of it as well.

I would love to hear your plan for that... Despite, what many think, Memphis actually has a pretty loyal basketball fan base. And I have no idea how you "create a new fan base", especially considering the state of the program today.

I work minutes from the University of Arkansas and my parents have been season ticket holders for at least 15 years. Under Pel they could not give their tickets away and the University was literally giving tickets away at the door to try and get as many people in as possible. That is a school with the "palace of Mid-America" arena, with an "undivided" fan base (only major University in the state, let alone not competing against pro franchises), and that has a NC on their resume. Attendance issues with a crumbling program is not unique to Memphis by any means.

I was not referring to the loyal or committed fans and the crumbling of the program started seven seasons ago.

True. However, I firmly believe a staff shake up is an absolute necessity for that type of recruiting class to come to fruition.
