For a bunch of people whose predictions wouldn't differ more than two spots on where we'll probably finish in conference this coming season, there sure is a lot of arguing going on.

they'll cling to anything that they feel justifies their anti-Pastner turned anti-Tubby agenda.

It's more anti AOB for me at this point.

We got a reprieve when Pastner quit. I thought it could not get worse with him as coach. I was wrong.

It's like the decision makers in football all those years have changed to basketball.

Sad to see for me, frankly.

I ignored all of Tubby's bad press and was ecstatic about the guy--defended him when objections were brought up by posters like Hoop Dreams...who is sadly missing, btw.

Apparently, we have not finished our descent.... I ain't gonna take descent lying down. lol

And I know your 'sadness' is not because you are just a BB fan. You are a long time season ticket holder in both BB and FB fan.

just getting out of high school + just getting out of Junior College + two returning players + AAC teams returning experienced players = Memphis Tigers 8th or 9th

Factor in Hope and you get 6th or 7th


I didn't make this equation. shrug

Whatever floats your boat. I don't really care

When you stop quoting me and replying, I will believe you don't care.

If last season's results float any boats around here, along with the offseason recruiting that has fallen short, then I wonder what has gotten into Tiger fans.

Not good to twist what people say. I just don't care to really get into with you about half the subjects because you are too dramatic with everything. Really hard to take you seriously.

You never heard what floats my boat. I am willing to see if the mans plan works first before forming an angry mob and saying he is killing the program.

Lots of drama majors. I really wish we could have 1 basketball thread that doesn't devolve into "the sky is falling".

Below is Tweet from Mark G about the pick-up game:

So they lost now? Mark might not understand this fan base yet.

I could be wrong, but based on context of the tweet flow I do not think he is stating the JUCO's lost. I think he is stating the result is meaningless.

I read it to mean that Martin is displaying leadership.

Shows how inadequate Twitter is as a form of communication.
About a half a hop ahead of a message board, as far as nuance is concerned!

Yeah. I was 90% sure that what he meant. But it's still a bit ambiguous.
