I will go to my grave thinking the UTA game against us last year was the best basketball performance I've ever seen. I'm convinced they would have beaten anyone in the country that night.

Sounds like it's time for the next installment of CK interviewing TB

I don't think it would be bad form if guys have already announced they're leaving. Plus I view the OU -> Illinois move differently than Illinois -> UA since they fired him.. Guess we will see

I was gonna say, there would have been some activity on here if that had happened.

Anyone want to explain to me the rumor about Ivey not returning? I don't want to open a can of worms, but every fan I spoken to over the last week has brought it up.
Blah let's hope not. Let's also hope this isn't some cryptic reference to Nevada, the new Transfer U

Woops! Thanks for the clarification. I was all sorts of lost lol. Can't blame me though will all the Hurley/Buffalo talk.
I wasn't sure if you were comparing Oats to Bobby Hurley because they each coached at UB or if you thought I was talking about Bobby lol. It's all good

Pi$$ on Bobby Hurley. I did not realize Pitt made that crazy of an offer to him, though. Wonder why he chose ASU over them, then?
They didn't. That's my point. They were bidding against UConn for Dan Hurley. They offered $3.25MM per year, the offer went public, and now Oats wants that type of offer.

Also you guys realize we aren't talking about Bobby Hurley, right?

Pitt is stupid then. Probably explains why they're a joke now. Oats is already more accomplished than Hurley ever was at Buffalo. 2 MAC titles in 3 years and a tourney win.
The offer would have put Hurley in the top 10 highest paid coaches. I think Oats is a very good coach but paying him a top 10 salary is a decent overpayment

Apparently Oats asked for a deal similar to what Pitt offered Hurley and they weren't on board. If he doesn't reconsider sounds like he isn't going to Pitt. Doesn't sound like he's against getting out of UB though

Who care if donations went down before he took over? Donations were $X when he took over and now they're $X plus millions more. He did his job and did pretty well. We could have done a lot worse.

When I'm filthy rich with dirty money, I'm retiring to Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman. Any of you who can make the tournament, GO!
As I am working through this right now with a client, I should advise you to report your foreign activity if you decide to buy your house in the Caymans early and rent it out until you move. Not reporting anything for 10 years appears to be unwise

Video says Georgia and Clemson are possible too. Strong field, no real cupcakes at all

My totally uninformed guess is that it doesn't look as bad to look for other jobs when you aren't the president.

1. Matthew Wilson did a good job
2. Matthew Wilson may be somewhat of a resume builder
These are not mutually exclusive statements

Can we go bring Tressel back now?
