No, they said film, so I'm hoping for an old film projector kind of like the Tom Landry show used to do.

What ever technology works; use it.

I think they have it set up where if you like your seat then next year you just have to give them twice as much for it and see if it is enough to get it again.

Still stings doesn't it

I thought the event was quite good actually. I really enjoyed it. I really like Jank and his candor.

- It was great to hear Jank go off on the NCAA, FBI scandal, and repercussions if the NCAA doesn't do anything about the violating programs.
- He recognizes the risk in the non-conference schedule this year. He is hoping we get to play Penn State in the Cancun tourney. They are having a really difficult time getting colleges to schedule us, especially difficult because nobody wants to play against our crowd in Moody. It sounds like they are working on some things that will improve the schedule in future seasons. But he really tried hard to get some tougher opponents.
- Explained the offensive philosophy of spreading the floor and crashing the boards.
- He explained a lot of his recruiting strategy and identifying the right kids to develop. He targets players who fit the offensive philosophy to spread the floor by being able to shoot well and handle, who can play D, have strong character, and have the work ethic and desire to go pro. He also explained how the strategy changes as your roster size is able to grow when you get scholarships back. He really likes White's shooting ability, and the athleticism of Hunt and Young. Both Hunt and Young are way too skinny, but are progressing nicely.
- Dixon can shoot, Whitt is our most improved player by far - shooting, ball handling, and the brain of a point guard, he expects steady yearly improvement from Douglas, Chargois has lost 20 lbs and is going to be really good, and Mike has grown a lot on the court since his arrival and is going to be a force.
- He thinks that if Foster stays on track and we stay healthy, this team is going to get better and better as the season goes along, and be a great team by the end of the season. He was genuinely excited about the season. I didn't think he laid out any excuses or anything like that. Other than being pissed about what the NCAA did to us .

Saw Larry in a picture at practice the other day with a clipboard...does he really have "health problems"?

You are in the minority on how people viewed Jank's talk

I hope you Ubered home after all that kool aid. Numerous statements made by Jank make it clear that he has neither the philosophical outlook nor drive to make SMU basketball successful at the level necessary.

But he really tried hard to get some tougher opponents.

This is simply not the case.

[Charleston Pony]

Perhaps tried to get a brand name P5 team or two to come to Moody...but not TOO hard?
