Anyone remember
hearing something three, four, or five years ago, reading or hearing something Peterson said about the men's program, something along the lines of "we're going to have to make it to post season sometime soon, or maybe sooner or later?" Have I been dreaming or did I remember correctly? Must have meant later. Sorta like "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Only thing, Peterson didn't say "period." I guess that gets him off the hook.

Now that you mention it, I do recall some pretty strong statement that Chris made that indicated, and I emphasize indicated, that if we didn't get to the postseason the next year, that a change could possibly be in the wind. I don't remember which season it was, or if it was the season we won the tournament? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Nothing changed.

I guess you can make any statements you want to if you don't intend to back them up. Talk"s cheap.

We made the NCAA tournament- i would imagine that qualifies as "postseason".

That statement might have been made several seasons before the tournament win. I can't be sure, but it seems like one of the seasons we went out of the tournament in the first round. Could have even been in our 15-3 season, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it was all hyperbole anyway. Anyone watch the new TV show "Resurrection"? Reminds me of we guys and gals on the board. That dead horse of ours keeps coming back to life for more beatings!

Nice job security. Get in play-in game once in eleven years, and lose, and that sets you up for another eleven years.

Peterson said that and that our recruiting wasn't up to par. That's was about the time Autry and Fricke were let go I think. The statement was made after our 2nd losing season in a row.

He's still looking for a coach who can bring in "weapons of mass destruction".
