It's everywhere. I opened the door for a lady a few weeks back, and she snatched the door out of my hand, and told me she could open the door herself. I couldn't believe it.

yeah that is just silly. I hold the door open for women and men. Sometimes women or men hold the door for me. I say thank you and walk through.

same here ---whoever is next, I hold the door. whoever is having trouble I get the door. I thank anyone who holds it for me.

Probably would've faired better with football anyways. Short and only plays defense.

Btw, can anyone name a top college PG who took his team deep in the tourney with a game similar to Alo's with such lack of offense? I can't think of one....

Players need to not get on social media if they can't handle it. It's toxic. The very thing that was supposed to make the world a better place, has made it worse.

Were we always this bad? Probably. Did social media make it worse, or did it just expose us?

Could you self-persecute yourself any harder? What a cuckold.

He's never dealt with the adversity growing up playing middle school, AAU, and High School ball at East. The toughest thing for him is that he see this stuff off social media. He can hear it, and see. It also doesn't help when the team had an embarrassing lost at Tulane was partially on him. Then, he doesn't play at Wichita State and we won a Quad 1 game (now Quad 2).

I always thought the best thing for Alex Lomax was to transfer. He hasn't improved much from his freshman year til now. Also, he needs to learn the game from another coach. He needs to hear a different voice. He's 21/22 years old and Penny has coached him since middle school, which is 10 years? I always thought it was a time to move on and go play for a Bruce Pearl (giving him an example). We've had a lot of players transfer out, but right now, he's being a slave to loyalty.

In 2019, remember when Brady White got boo'd against Navy in the first half. Well, he shut us up by having 3 touchdown passes in the second half. Alex has just got to play better.

Boogie Ellis transferred to USC and is player better. He's shooting 46% (40% at Memphis) and is averaging about 2 more Points Per Game, 2 more rebounds per game, and 1.5 more assists per game. He's also shooting 74% at the line compared to 66% at Memphis.

Damoin Baugh transferred to TCU and is playing better. Over 2X as much points as he did at Memphis. Field Goal percentage is up 3% to 44%, about two more rebounds and assists per game. He's up to 83% at the free throw line this year compared to 68% at Memphis.

I appreciate his Loyalty to the city. I appreciate the fact he tried to win the fans over by changing his number to 10. I appreciate the fact that he's trying to stay relevant. Because he hasn't improved as a player, and he knows that his career has been a disappointment because we haven't been to the tournament. However, the slander will continue if he doesn't play well when he does return.

You are apparently not a white male and don't keep up with CNN and your democrat leaders who push the narrative over and over that white men are evil. According to the left we are all sexist and racists who want to see black and brown people die horrible deaths.

He was basically anointed to be the savior as a freshmen, even though he wasn’t that highly rated to begin with. Same thing with Tyler Harris to a lesser extent. Tyler has a unique talent so he shows flashes. But of course let’s blame fans after it’s all said and done. Saul Smith got treated way worse when he played for Kentucky.

I would like to see one post anywhere saying ALo was going to be a savior.

ALo was around 150 coming out of highschool. No one thought a 150 kid was going to be a savior. Many thought he would be a 4 year player who was a good PG by his senior year.

Many of us thought ALo would be over recruited once Penny had a season to recruit. We were fooled by Penny's reluctance to recruit any PG who would take playing time away from his beloved want-to-be son.

If you recall at that time we were building a monster yet losing recruits to junior colleges.

150 recruit was pretty good for us at that time.
