agreed.

so at the end of the day... I'm a happy guy !

I honestly thought I would not live to see a new coach. let that sink in to realize just how happy !

Yes and now's the time to pump as many resources as possible into the program.

He had 2 sub par seasons after the UVA win. I'm fine with it..believe me. I've seen worse..this place can't even handle an NIT appearance with a big donor throwing up a assessment thread...and the if he does win..the School won't put up the money to keep him and we're back to square one.

That big donor throwing up an assessment thread after the NIT appearance occurred after 5 seasons. Odom will have time to get things rolling, if it never does then we'll have to replace him. If he knocks it out of the park we'll have to replace him too. Stop blaming the fanbase. You Langley boys are on one today geeze.

Which two?

2016-2017 - 21-13
2017-2018 - 25-11
2018-2019 - 21-13
2020-2021 - 16-17
2021-2022 - 14-6

Mason wishes they had that record.lol Because they suck.

What was UMBC's record the year before he arrived? I'll help you out. It was Penn Statish - 7-25.

I see that as a good problem to have.

What are your expectations?

21-13 and 16-17 with no ncaa's. Could this fanbase handle it without calling for Odom's head? No way in h-ll...

If you hate the high expectations of this fanbase, go back to your Mason board of gutter trash.

Well it WAS UMBC, not Duke. A little up n down is normal.
Did Odum have a player revolt ? That's the main thing to remember from Rhoades. And despite all the denials, being the only team to ever forfeit in the NCAA tournament is as embarrassing as a 1 seed losing to a 16. You never want to be the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question.

I have informed my brother-in-law, who is a PSU grad, that by the laws of basketball fandom I must now despise Penn State. I don't make the rules, but they are inflexible.

I'm starting to remember why I had you blocked for a long time. You know darned well it wasn't a forfeit. It was a no contest. That's very, very, very different and not at all embarrassing, particularly given the reason. It was terrible luck.

We've pumped quite a lot. Need to start seeing some ROI. Especially with a dramatic recession in process.

We need to start out with an entire new good luck T-shirt collection next year.

We just increased his salary by 1 mil. Are you suggesting offering him like 2.5 right off the bat?

Nope because it wont matter. If. P5 wants him and he wants P5 he's gone. No reason to bid against yourself. What would you gain? Answer-Nothing.
