Top 200 in everything we do... er top 210??

[PonyDoh]

Need a better schedule, but it's amazing how much schedule talk specific to Doh, their has been when it's relatively been the same for years and years.

I'm guessing the bouncing around at the bottom ranks means little to nothing in terms of improvement.

Has little meaning or means little improvement??

[Dooby]

We are doing our level-headed best to show patience with Doh. We need to show the next guy we will give him the time he needs to right the ship. I don't have confidence in Doh anymore, but we are giving him one more year for making the mistake of canning Tubbs too quickly. I hated Tubbs and wish we had never hired him, but we should have given him another year and not come up with a trumped up secondary violation as an excuse to can him.

you hated Tubbs? Nice. Any coach deserves 4 years to show progress. 3 is not enough (certainly not 2), but you don't need 5 years to see what a coach is all about. The 4th year is the all important critical year. Even at SMU where we have an excuse for everything, because even here, momentum and confidence matters. 14-17 is a big thud in year 4.

Especially when you only win 15% of the games vs the respectable teams on your schedule. Take away the 7 wins against the non-conference cupcakes plus 3 against CUSA cellar dwellers rice and tulane and the all-important 4th year was even worse then you think.

Two bad hires in a row sets us back about 10 yrs.

that list always makes me chuckle and realize how happy I am that I stopped buying season tickets. When I stopped going to crappy non-conference games because of their annual crappy non-conference schedule, I realized I could live without SMU Basketball entirely. I know everybody schedules cupcakes now-I don't care-I am not going to pay money to watch crap. There is too high a percentage of meaningless games in College Basketball. And considering that College Basketball is not exactly getting great ratings these days maybe some schools should be taking note of the product they force their fans to watch.

sorry that I can't let it go, but didnt we also lose to NC A&T?

Both hoops and football scheduling are contrived to the point of impotency these days.
