Georgia Tech - Final Four 2004. I'm guessing it's Wake or GT. :)

anyway, please tell me what other player Big Billy has made any difference to?
He did put A&M on the map, I'll give you that.

I find it funny that you guys appear out of nowhere all of the sudden.

off topic: GT and Wake seem more balanced with fball and bball than UNC or Duke. Clemson is getting back to where they were. NC State is a bball school only. Fball seems #1 in the TOLA region.

how is BG's AA class going at the Spaghetti Warehouse?

Done deal that SMU wants him and will offer him the job. Done deal its attractive to him and the best opportunity in the state of Texas as of now. Done deal that if nothing changes in the state of college basketball he will be the new SMU coach after DOH is released of his duties. That being said things change after the season. Coaches get fired, just like your boy DOH will be. If say a Texas Tech job all the sudden opens up i'm sure he will look into it as well as the SMU gig. Who do you think will win that battle? Now that is not going to happen just giving you an example. I know your struggling to grasp information you haven't heard of yet but it takes time. Your not familar with the actual business of college basketball so I understand your having problems and looking for any bit of information or a slip up to try to prove what has been said wrong because you don't want it to happen. I know you think you do but in all reality you dont. Your the guy that wants to sit on the bench and be apart of the team. The Walk-on. Thats fine but walk-ons don't have a say in things. Your fighting a losing battle. I don't really get into battles I have no information about so I dont know how to help your situation out. The easiest thing would be just to accept that it's going to happen. Throw the white flag before you lose all credibility to the individuals who read this board. I'm begging you Ponydoh, BEGGING! Stop fighting it! We will soon be on the same team. I will be a Pony, You will be a Pony, Ponyscott will still be a [deleted] but none the less a DAMN SMU Pony.

Remember all the new, outrageous posters that appeared out of no where when Bennett was fired and before JJ was hired. The ones that were supposedly well connected and knew it all. Biggen etc As soon as JJ sighed his contract, they disappeared hopefully forever. Although maybe they are being reincarnated on the BB page.

I personally would like to see if BCG can get us some wins, and, while Ponydoh usually doesn't agree cause he hates the guy, I have to admit that Ponydoh has proven to be pretty knowledgable about things. I want to believe you, but you've gotten off-topic, and you are insulting our #1 BBALL poster.

As my personal information can be limited, I don't know why people tend to have problems with BCG. What I see is his ability to turn programs similar to ours (in perception) into decent teams. And, at the end of the day, that is what we all want. I have to accept that the coaching decision is largely not up to me, but I still have my opinions. I would prefer BCG for my own reasons, but I'm willing to accept anyone that comes in.

There is no shortage of fruitcakes on the internet.

Seriously, there are literally thousands of people out there that think it's the high point of hilarity to post false information on an internet message board, it happens a hundred times a day. During the football coaching search we were flooded with people predicting the imminent hiring of Franchione, or Coker, or Tuberville, or AppleBowden. Why do they do it? I guess it gets kind of boring when you live in your mothers basement, and your homebound because you're too fat to walk up the stairs. When you're shut in, I guess you have to manufacture your own entertainment.


There is no "done deal", there's interest. Nothing close to being done.

SMU has used the search firm Eastman & Beaudine for its last 3 coaching searches in both football and mens basketball. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01812.html They'll use that same firm again.

The former roommate of the president of our University is currently an assistant coach at Arkansas, and given the way their season is going he may be looking for a new job in March. For that matter, John Pelphrey may be available, and I rather like Pelphrey.

I hope that answers everbody's questions.

I heard it was a done deal that Coach K will be our head coach next fall. Apparently, he has gotten bored over at Duke and wants to be challenged again.
The donkey's name is Kiki.

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

Voice of reason! Pelphrey would be an interesting candidate if he gets fired.

Just thought I would share some information. I was told by someone who I think Steve O. would solicit an opinion from concerning any changes in basketball.

"Matt Doherty will be retained. Only a player revolt or compliance issues would change that status."

Quick question for you, X. Why would we go back to the well w/a firm that hasn't exactly set the world on fire w/our basketball coaching hires? Other consultants exist w/hoops track records
