And the cash. He has alot of kids to support and/or leave a legacy for. I'm wondering who he schedules to open the new Moody in 2013. Can he get UNC or Kansas to come? winning doesn't matter, but the spectacle does.

the only question we care about is "can he do what Doh and others who came before him could not?"

just one stud player can turn a hoops program around. Can Brown lure one to SMU?

I remember when we signed Larry Johnson and then Ken Pye ran him off? So close!

I can't imagine LB taking the job for the money - he made what? 30 million? in NY alone. He doesn't need the money.

If he can't find a job in the NBA then he wants a college job. The plum jobs are few and far between, and top programs may be a little wary of his journeyman history.

We're open, we are moving into the top B-ball conference, we are showing we will give a couch the support he needs, and it will be HIS program, much like JJ gets to run the football program the way he wants.

He got virtually all of his NY Knick 5 year $$$$ when he left after a law suit. He has all the money he will ever need.

Today's game has changed. One stud play doesn't do it. It's all about developing a core of 4-7 very good ones...or you can be like Kensucky and develop a core of 4-7 studs (both work).



One stud player can not only make others better around him, but attracts other stud players.

These abbreviations are a beating to try and interpret -- OAD? Is it asking too much to write out one and done? Is it really going to kill you for the extra 5 seconds?

Well in order to help us make the journey, can you help us Mr. Hip as to what FIFY and FTW means. Heaven help us as to our inability to be totally jiving with the new lingo.

Imagine my shock as to lingo determining a programs success. WOW!

What I find funny is that you clearly were able to figure out what OAD meant. Is it asking too much to figure these things out yourself, as you did in this case? Is it really going to kill you for the extra 5 seconds?
