Can't even keep straight what you claimed? After Georges committed you said: The only two FBS transfers after that were Arrington, who still had a football team to play for, and Nevermann, who not a single word was mentioned until mid-January. Both are RB's, neither were on the radar when you made your claim. Still waiting on that other WR to show up though.

It's hilarious that you continue to count Arrington when he wasn't even on the coaches radar when you made your claim since you know, UAB still had a team.

Score one point for those who had a Mussman reference. Edit - I missed the reference to being Jones, Mrs. Jones or any other relative of Jones. Point there as well.

Pretty sure you've never provided a single solid detail on anything. All vague, blanket statements, usually on stuff others have known for quite a while. And you clearly enjoy throwing that kind of crap out there. Still waiting for the rest of those FBS transfers and Kalen DeBoer to sign his contract to be head coach.

Also, is your reading context that bad? He's saying that the players aren't giving up on the season even though they are basically playing for nothing. I guess you'd prefer for them to give up and pack it in for the rest of the year? I'd think a poster who has over 12,000 posts would have better comprehension.

Not entirely true on the first part, waivers are usually only granted in extenuating circumstances, don't think they would be in this case. That being said, I would not be surprised to see transfers.

Is there a single thing he could have said that you wouldn't have made an attempt at ripping apart? Seems like you just keep looking for reasons to beat a dead horse.

I know that NAU plays guard heavy but I think it would be interesting to see a spurt with Shanks/Nash/Shields. Could maybe put Cashman in there but not sure which one he'd replace. Should still be able to get back on defense and while creating some mismatches on the other end. Probably have to play a zone and hope NAU isn't hot from deep and it might completely blow up but not sure what there is to lose at this point.

So who get's Tyler's minutes? More Coleman tonight?

Actual physical banners? Probably Jones but more due to a difference in the sports. Jones had 2 Great West tournament championships and the 3 CIT tournaments, can't remember for sure but I know that the postseason tournaments are recognized, not sure about the tournament championships. Mussman had the one Great West title.

I don't believe it will be announced until the field is revealed.

Scheels Arena definitely messed up the general public sales in more ways then one. Selling tickets at the box office before they were to be released and then adding SRO tickets 10-15 minutes after the other ones sold out doesn't exactly scream competence.

If Brekke doesn't get hurt, I'm not sure Calcaterra ever comes to UND. Tough to get a big with talent at this level, high school or JuCo, but both of those appear to be misses. I applaud their effort but the production side of it just never seemed to click.

Which part is he telling the truth about? I must have missed that. And using the same predictable childish lines as a defense against anyone who disagrees with him has become a pretty good running joke for quite a few people, though unintentional on his part. I'm not even sure he will get a chance to finish out his current contract and I'd be fine with that. Honestly, I actually would be surprised if he coached the final year of his contract because it would be pretty much impossible to do any recruiting and he hasn't done anything to warrant an extension to this point. That's why I (and others) have said that next year is make or break for him.

Talk about a loaded question. Do I believe the Jones was on the radio this morning, said that he thought they have been in the majority of the games this year and predicted them to finish near the top of the conference next year. Yes. Do I believe word for word what he said is accurate? You hanging your hat on that argument speaks volumes.

You called him out for where he thought they'd finish in the conference next year and now we're talking about something else. Move those goalposts! I didn't hear his comments nor did you, so I don't know what context they were brought up in. As for a one year change, Brewster went from 10th to 1st, but I guess that is pretty inconvenient to mention, especially for a guy who continues to compare MBB and WBB for some reason. You accusing people of loving Jones just because you get called out on your ridiculous statements is pretty predictable. Anytime someone doesn't immediately demand Jones be fired, without fail, one of the following will be coming next: Telling someone they love Jones Calling someone Mrs. Jones Jones autographed poster CIT or bust buttBrewster or UND WBB buttNDSU

So if the men and women finish in their current positions their regular season standings finish will be as follows through the first three years of conference play: WBB: 10, 1, T-4 (30-25) MBB: 3, T-2, 10 (28-27) Can you point out where the huge difference in conference finishes is over the last 3 years is? And don't change the subject, Jones' comment that you're ridiculing referred to where they will finish in the conference, so don't move the goalposts like you always do. I have no issue with you or anyone being critical, there is a lot to be critical about and I actually agree with a lot of it. I do have an issue with people taking shots that are incorrect or have nothing to back them up with. No need when there is plenty of legitimate things to gripe about.

In the same sense, normal joe's had a chance to get tickets as well, there were tickets released for purchase to the general public. Pretty sure those are the majority of the ones that you are seeing going on sale with the huge prices, not the ones that went to Champions Club members. The whole thing is a supply/demand issue, not just with the Champions Club. The returned tickets will be returned to the box office and be released for sale to everyone but I would have no issue with priority being given to Champions Club members who didn't get tickets the first time through.

They did lose to Portland State who is currently 1-14 in league play. The MBB team's loss to SUU last year giving them their only conference win is constantly brought up as a reason to fire Jones. And just to clarify, I in no way think that Brewster should be fired but his team is definitely underperforming this year.

I wonder if UND's would actually be similar to the gray helmets they had back in the 70's, possibly with the updated interlocking ND but someone else can probably has more insight on it than I do.

Fair enough, the rest of the RPI sites have EWU above UND.

Actually EWU is #1. And I'm confused about what your point is? Are you trying to say that it doesn't matter who's on the schedule? I didn't say there wasn't a tradeoff, you still need to win the games you're supposed to at minimum and you can't lose at home, especially to bad teams. My point was, your 20 wins bar doesn't really mean anything, you can be better off in the grand scheme of things playing a tougher schedule and winning fewer games. You also give yourself a change for a much bigger bump if you can pull off an upset. Shooting for 20 wins every year is a pointless goal other than its a nice round number. Setting a benchmark at an arbitrary number doesn't do anything.

Its because Sac St's RPI is 141 and Eastern Washington's is 71. Sac St is currently 16-8 and EWU is 17-7. The main difference is their SOS is 295 vs 185. That's what happens when you schedule easy teams to get to your magical 20 wins. Playing and likely losing to a few highly ranked teams is usually better than playing and beating some cupcakes. Though not only playing Indiana but beating them at Assembly Hall definitely bumps their RPI even more with the win adjustment placed on road wins.

All I'm trying to do is help you find a way to accomplish what you want and get to the bottom of whether you're a paid operative for the CIT tournament or just get a kick-back every time you bring it up.

I said every time, which would probably put your somewhere around a Coaches Club size donation with still a few weeks to go before the offseason. I look forward to seeing your name on the donor list next year. And congrats on not liking the guy as a coach, I get it and you are more than entitled to that opinion, but at least try to keep it a little bit above the belt with the personal comments.
