I expected it when I saw the players Haith recruited, - nerdmachine KC - 10/12 11:11:29

Right, but I'm not sure you follow MU basketball (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/12 11:13:56

I do, much more than you, I actually know how to use a TV - nerdmachine KC - 10/12 15:13:04

I've heard Kelly blow sunshine when it wasn't warrannted - MakeShift MU - 10/12 09:20:37

Oh yeah - that was the big pitch. Gritty, tough teams that - 90Tiger MU - 10/12 11:16:41

Yeah they forget Stewart happened to have Doug Smith, Peeler - MakeShift MU - 10/12 11:56:05

More important is how the team fares in the SEC. That is - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:12:18

I'm sure that's why Kelly brought it up - MakeShift MU - 10/12 09:33:31

Yea I have been saying that for a while now - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 09:16:08

If he can go .500 in SEC play or better, I think he'll - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:18:39

I doubt .500 is the mark - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 09:21:26

6 conference wins? - FIJItiger MU

- 10/12 09:26:58

The departures of Brown, Clarkson, and Ross killed us - nerdmachine KC - 10/12 11:14:31

No, following that up we made a huge blunder in hiring(nm) - FIJItiger MU

You don't lower the expectations so your coach can meet them - KC_MizzouFan MU - 10/12 10:03:05

I don't want MU to become KSU of the 1990's - FIJItiger MU

- 10/12 10:08:38

You're talking about two different things. An AD has to - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 10:06:46

Part of the problem with the SEC is several schools fired - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 10:14:29

especially in the SEC which is a very weak BB league...... - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:29:20

Maybe 8, but less than that, in year 3, is unacceptable if - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:22:35

get 6-8 wins, add some players, develop the current - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/12 09:33:15

Your "6-8" range should "8-10" because a record of - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:40:29

That is alot of ifs. Or we could just - FIJItiger MU

- 10/12 09:36:38

Haith left for a reason Fiji, He was about to lose a lot - nerdmachine KC - 10/12 11:16:06

That's a euphemism for "tiers above ours" which at this - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:11:28

"building slowly" is an understatement, considering .... - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:02:48

There are some low level teams on this schedule that - FIJItiger MU

- 10/12 08:57:29

We have what is basically a Division II non-con schedule.... - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:05:19

A lot of schools do that, but our non-con is solid - nerdmachine KC - 10/12 11:17:06

It's a Mike Anderson level non-con.(nm) - StaleyTiger MU - 10/12 09:07:45

And that will be like a scrimmage, similar to when - FIJItiger MU

- 10/12 09:21:34

Sad but true. NM - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:23:19

It serves no good purpose as far as fans or the program is - JoplinTiger07 MU - 10/12 09:09:34
