Maybe we haven’t. But we sure can. See the fighting spirit and expectations on this board as evidence.

Hoop, what are your thoughts on Oats? I was surprised he wasn’t on your list.

You know things are tense up there when they are worried about parody twitter accounts!

I like Oates a bunch, sorta like Jans, Wes Miller, Steve Forbes. If I know SMU, we're gonna try and fry bigger fish.

I see what you did there.

I was wondering what the Dallas connection was to the program with Massinburg. I assumed he recruited him. I know you don’t like DISD players in general but he is a helluva player.

Interesting that they would spend time getting these removed yet can't spend any time actually promoting the program. Disgraceful.

@SMUBasketball has been stuck at around 13.2k followers for the past two years. When Dixon was hired at TCU we had more followers than @TCUBasketball. Now they have 23.5k. @CoachJankSMU has 2.3k followers and his last tweet was made on 9/29/16. Jamie Dixon has 18.2k followers and his last tweet was Monday encouraging the students to show up and be loud for their big game against Kansas. These things matter and Jank doesn’t get it, or care.

Jank is basically begging to be fired.

@hoopmanx What’s you’re view of the school’s ability to make the right hire and more importantly stay out of the way and allow sustained success? (There aren’t many revenue sport banners after 24 years in office.) How much autonomy does the AD have?

What does the HS and AAU circuit think about the smu admin?

What I don't understand is, how can they not hire some intern or low paid employee to basically run the social media accounts? Seems like a pretty easy problem to solve.

I've asked this same question many times. Never really heard a good answer.
