Our home town company is paying our home town school about HALF of what they are paying that school in the eastern part of the state.

That should never be acceptable, no matter how much damage Orlando did to the program.

UofMemphis seems to disagree with you which guarantees you are on the right track.

I wouldn't necessarily call him the worst, but I don't think he is good at all.

if you think Bowen is anywhere near the incompetence shown by RC Johnson then you 1) don't know your UofM history (which I already knew) and 2) have no idea what your talking about (which doesn't surprise me at all)

but hey, miserables gonna miserable so you go right ahead.

I mean, you seem like an RC kinda guy to me anyways...

I am simply an anti-Bowen guy

We hired a football AD who focused on San Jose St. football

judging by their record, I don't think Bowen gave a crap about SJS's basketball program, and that sentiment has continued to show big time for Penny and co.

So your premise is.. after you ate poop burgers you thought booger burgers were fantastic..... They are still both disgusting. But pretty much sums up your thought process.

RC was an improvement until he almost bankrupted the athletic department , Bowen was an improvement over him.

Cavagnaro.

Charles Cavagnaro...that's it. I seem to remember the general consensus being 'if you thought RC was bad you should have seen Cavagnaro'

the story goes he left Memphis football on probation and ended up landing at UNLV where he told black football players to 'go back to the jungle' and called a black hoops player a 'gorilla'

sounds like a real winner.

How was he supposed to do anything? We have too many ties to Nike in our University and program. Penny has a contract with Nike and can't be involved with any other company. Bowens hands were tied.

Nike - "Let's see your current coach is under contract with us, so you cannot change companies....no problem, here is a bunch of extra money for you out of the goodness of our hearts"

The current deal between Boise State and Nike, which expires on June 30, 2019, paid the Broncos $7.9 million in product over the six years."
