Rudd's statement merits new emphasis today.

That's where decisive minds need to go.

His statement back then was lip service. We all know that they aren't gonna admit their F up and pay Tub to go away after this season. He'll be back with a team that would contend for 2nd or 3rd place in TSSAA district 16-AAA

He is on record and will not easily elude his statement.

They don't have to admit anything.

They just gotta fix it...and take credit if it means so much to their egos.

Quote:“We have resourced this program at a top 10 and 15 level nationally,” said University of Memphis president David Rudd. “We expect to be at that level, period. We have resourced it that way for a reason. Historically it’s a top 10 program, we expect it to perform at that level and we’ve resourced it at that level. Part of my responsibility is asserting that expectation and standard, and that is the standard.”

"Historically it’s a top 10 program"

Unfortunately, that is not true.

We have been in the Top 10 on more than a few occasions. I wouldn't call it "many".

We are a historically Top 25 program.

Well, we were before we hired a no-experience, nutjob coach.

And then fell further with an apparently un-researched safe-seeming hire.

Someone can insert this in the page for me.

I’m not a big fan of these; obviously the posters that put them out there think they have some value-beyond me.

I've tried drinking it away, it doesn't seem to be working. I wake up in the morning feeling like **** and Tubby is still the coach. I'm tapering down now looking for something more organic maybe for the anxiety.

There is just too much local talent in the next couple of classes to allow Orlando to stay. If we lose out on the majority of these players it will be a long haul to return to where everyone want to be.

PULEEESE we had three (maybe four) periods in our entire history where we could be considered top 10 program. Anyone who claims we are historically a top 10 program is living in a delusional state.

We have historically had a period where we are really good and then we fall back into the pack for a while. We didn't even sniff the top 10 in Cals first five seasons. We had a single four year period where we were a top 10 program under Cal and ONLY a four year period. First five years we ended season in top 25 just twice and it was the bottom half of the top 25. Year before the 4 year run began we lost 16 games and was unranked.

Our 20 NCAA appearances and 15 conference titles barely gets us into the top 50 all time programs.

He engaged in a bit of hyperbole suitable for the occasion, but the essential take away is Dr. Rudd has set a high standard and Tubby is nowhere close to meeting it. We are not even currently a top 100 performing team.

Its 26 appearances and 34 NCAA tournament wins. Both are in the top 25-30 all time. Neither will be added to as long as Tubby Smith is the coach here.

was in ny a couple weeks ago and came across a kava bar

If you can stomach it, you will relax, thanks to kava’s influence on the part of the brain that control emotions. Better news? Kava doesn’t affect motor skills or judgment like alcohol.

The first sensation is a tingling in the lips and some numbness in the throat. What follows is a light euphoria and a feeling of calm and clarity. A second cup really boosts the muscle-relaxing effect.

Don't ask me about 3 drinks, I can't remember what happened after that...

I saw Dr Rudd today at a legislative hearing, but I did not think it was appropriate to ask him what he is going to do about Tubby.

Whoa. That makes me jelly.
I’ve never had kava in a bar. I’ve had the tincture straight up, so taste is no big deal.

Growers don’t ship the best stuff off the islands, so I hear. It’s for shamanic trances. lol pretty sure I got there a time or 2 on half an eye dropper. But I don’t drive or mix it with drinks. Both highs get too enhanced lol

It’s all in the approach. The words you choose. And the delivery. Plus it helps if nobody is around.

Wrong time and wrong place....

But I was tempted.
