Thanks for that summary. I was at the gym and saw it on the overhead monitor but couldn’t hear the content.

Calkins = Drama
It was a crap question but we pay the head coach enough to not look stupid nationally in response

You are conservative and those are generally the worst informed people on earth. Stumbling in the dark, p-bags, big liars, hate the constitution; it is just your nature to feel mistreated.

Both of us are opponents in the ever changing American debate of whether we wish to remain a republic with a democratically elected self government.

I don't think you have a firm understanding of conservatism hoss. If anyone hates the constitution its the left. That is a fact. And there is no debate as to whether we as conservatives wish to remain a constitutional republic governed by constitutional principle.
I've read some ridiculous things here but this has a spot way up there near the top of the list.

RE: Calkins = Drama
After everyone comes down from this rah-rah Penny f Geoff Calkins contact high, we still have to face the fact Penny’s team is 9-8 with bad losses to ECU, Georgia, Ole Miss, SMU & Murray State and will need to win the AAC tournament to make the NCAA’s… again. The question Geoff asked is completely legit. The answer to that question begins tomorrow at Tulsa… the worst team in the conference.

There’s no doubt Penny’s got to do better, but that wasn’t the point. I’m just pointing out the long history of Geoff going after coaches and players at their low point. Again, criticism is all fair in this business, it’s the low blows, snarky comments, and general pot stirring that he pulls. He’s the guy tying a weight around your neck when your drowning. And no, that’s not his “job”. Even the national media called him on it today.
With that, Penny absolutely has to get this figured out, injuries or not.

After consecutive losses to ECU, SMU, & UCF, what kind of questions are appropriate for a coach in the middle of his 4th straight disappointing season?

RE: Calkins = Drama
Tulsa is winless in a mediocre league. We should win. Then again, Georgia & Ole Miss have only managed to win one conference game between them.

Down by thirteen at half to a winless team.
Calkins is the reason why.

God forbid someone ask why we did.
He did lose his major audience when the rag ca folded. I think it was about 35 people.
Ask him what happened and isn't he embarrassed?
You are in his tickle fight club right?
+3 for a GOOD point. The shoe needs to be on the other hand for a change...
