inb4 none of these teams are that good anyway, so it doesn't matter, and it is meaningless.
Can we get Razor to 100% guarantee we won't make the NCAAT this year? Please?

Silence says it all ... but sadly we will lose at some point and then he pops in around 2 am and responds to every thread on the board because he knows more about basketball than all of us combined ..

Feels good to win those three games.
But just to be fair to all viewpoints, and in the spirit of the season, "Warmed-Over Meatloaf for All, and to All a Goodnight."
Go Monarchs!

RE: FECES U Game Discussion
Really to those of us with young kids thru college age young adults, there's a key life lesson we can teach them - and that's the concept of setting up the Win-Win outcome.
RR has perfected this MBA concept.
When we win, He wins
When we lose, He wins
So let's enjoy this free management consulting we get and cherish it

It’s perfection to me. If razor were to guarantee we lost every other game so we could win them, he is my favorite dude of the year! It’s only weird if it doesn’t work.

I’d bother to go back and pull all the stuff you were wrong about (namely that Jeff jones will get us to the ncaa tourney) but really, I don’t have nearly enough time.
We beat 2 bad teams and 1 mediocre to good team at home and I was wrong. Maybe wood and Jeff should get extensions now lol.

Razor, I suspect you won't recognize it, but this is such a clear (at least for me) illustration of the non-productiveness of your approach on this forum. Not every thread needs to be about your dismay over Coach Jones. Sometimes it's fun just to savor a win.
My own opinion is that our teams have mostly underperformed under Coach Jones. Given our resources, we should be in the at-large consideration at least every 2-3 years, if not even more regularly. The conference constraints need to be taken into account, but a five-plus-year drought of never being considered even an at-large contender is just too long.
Yet the notion that I can't hold that opinion and still thoroughly enjoy what were three very well-played games -- all of them against traditional rivals -- serves only to undercut your argument. If you insist on making this a choice between enjoying good college basketball or being branded a Jones supporter, count as a reluctant supporter.
I'm not, but you're the one who is insisting on absolute purity of thought from your brethren fans.

I get your point but I don’t necessarily agree with your assertion. I was just being pithy regarding jones and wood, I agree, not everything needs to be about them.
I do enjoy our wins and I do not enjoy our losses just like most fans.
My problem is i am often to focused on the big picture and what another year of good but not good enough really accomplishes........buys Jeff more time to keep being a close but no cigar type of coach.
I am frustrated by this because I think we are capable of much more than having vcu as our “signature win” in the 6 years he’s been our coach.
Hell Rhoades (who many fans here said sucks), has a win over Texas at Texas in year 2 which is better than anything we’ve accomplished in 6 under Jeff.
I enjoy watching us play and win but I also keep the big picture in mind and that rubs some fans the wrong way.
It is what it is I guess.

I ABSOLUTELY hate VCU and was pumped we beat them but at the end of the day thats a short sighted goal. I want us to win and win a lot but Im also aware that wins arent just wins. Quality wins are "wins". W's that do nothing for your rankings/ratings among any of the measuring tools are not wins. They're the generic "fan pleaser".
Just because he asked, and I'd like to get others' opinions, what is considered our biggest win under the Jeff Jones era?

LSU, who was better than Texas is this year, in the oversees tournament. LSU was an 8 seed that year. That was also in Jones second year.
