P.S. This afternoon I read UM's pitch/presentation booklet for Big 12 membership. Obviously I'm no decision maker but it showed UM is a much better candidate than I had previously believed. Someone posted it on RedRaiderSports.com (a Rivals pay-site...sorry) and it's received mostly positive r views.

Good post; thanks for coming over and sharing your thoughts.

Thanks man. We definitely got lucky twice in this maneuver - getting rid of an untenable contract (on an misguided experiment in coaching) for a song and then luring Tubby away from Lubbock to bring us back from obscurity. Glad y'all got the man you wanted for a replacement.

Now, if we could just get your powers-to-be to vote against UT in this expansion thing then it would be grand!

Butler recruiting classes according to ESPN (Grade 90 or above, 4 stars and 5 stars bolded)

2007 - 4 commits, 2 with 81 grade, one JC, one not rated.
2008 - 5 commits, one with 87 grade, 4 not rated.
2009 - 1 commit 88 grade
2010 - 3 commits grades 92, 84, 74 (1 ESPN 100, zero 3* or above)
2011 - 4 commits, one Intl., other 3 grades 91, 88, 87 (1 ESPN 100, 2-3*, zero 4*, zero 5*)

Let's compare to the Pastner stable. (Grade 90 or above, 4 stars and 5 stars bolded)


2009 - 3 commits, 1 transfer, 1 JC, 1 grade 90
2010 - 8 commits, grades 97, 96, 95, 94, 91, 87 (4 ESPN 100)
2011 - 2 commits, 1 grade 97, 1 JC (1 ESPN 100 1-5*)
2012 - 3 commits, 1 JC, 2 grades 96, 92 (1 ESPN 100 1-5*, 1-4*)
2013 - 6 commits, grades 92, 89, 88, 82, 82, 78 (5 ESPN 100, 1-5*, 4-4*, 1-3*)

For perspective, DJ Stephens was a grade 90.

You can't run the Derby without a trainer.

Every national champion since 1980 has been won by blue blood except for 2 by Fla, Arkansas and UNLV. Thats 33 of 37. Look it up.

"Blue blood" is a subjective term. Villanova is not a traditional blue blood. Neither is Syracuse, Maryland, Michigan State, Arkinsaw, Florida, Michigan, UNLV, Georgetown, or NC State. Heck, UConn - although they've won over the past 15 years - is not a traditional blue blood. What those schools have/had were coaches that could lead the program. And usually it was just a single abnormal coach for them, when you look back through their history. But they absolutely were not schools who could just take applications from recruits and pick whomever they want.

Read the post "Every national champion since 1980" Missed Maryland; they are not blue blood. I listed Fla, Ark and UNLV as not BB. Uconn has more NC than Kansas and Louisville for instance-definite blue blood. I think many forget how the others stack up with the group of 5 or 6 several mention.

Read your own post. You consider Syracuse, Mich State, Michigan, Zona, NC State and Georgetown blue blood? Big stretch.

We can debate UConn. They did nothing until Calhoun arrived. Great success since, no doubt. But a bit too "modern era" to be considered a blue blood IMO.

You act like 31 of 36 are won by true blue bloods. Actually about 20 of 36. You missed about 11 over your time line.

Well, to test your knowledge about Blue Bloods, which schools had the longest consecutive streaks of making NCAA tourney (excluding vacates): Ariz is 3rd, Mich St 5th and Georgetown 10th. So who won NC that isn't a blue blood since 1980 besides the 4 schools I mentioned? Syracuse iffy?

Please direct me to the post that indicates your level of contribution and season ticket status. I can't check because Penny Lane is obviously not your name.

My name is Melvyn M. Tuggle. I have been a TSF Donor and season ticket holder for 27 years. You can check. I don't hide. I have paid a LOT OF MONEY. Therefore, I can COMPLAIN OR TALK ABOUT WHATEVER I WANT TO.

Now, if we could just get your powers-to-be to vote against UT in this expansion thing then it would be grand!

As I understand it, 8 schools must vote in favor of expansion. I read somewhere recently that 3 teams opposes expansion: UT, Tech, TCU. Frankly, if UT opposes expansion so will Tech for 2 reasons.

First, if the Big 12 disbands, UT will insist on bringing (at least) Tech along to a new conference for many reasons that I don't feel like typing out right now but here's an important one: UT wants to bring a voting block to a new conference so that it has a strong voice about conference matters from the get-go. That's why the PAC move several years ago involved 5 teams the first time, and 4 teams the following year. UT will try to do the same again.

Second, Tech wants a veterinary school and needs UT's help to overcome Aggie opposition. I don't know the reasons why, but it's always been the case that Tech had a law school but no vet school, and A&M had a vet school but no law school. There was détente between us. Then a few years ago A&M literally bought an existing law school from IIRC Texas Wesleyan for $29 million. So now Tech wants a vet school but A&M is opposing Tech in the Texas Legislature.

For these reasons, Tech will vote with UT. However, I'm not sure about TCU's motivations. UT holds more sway over Tech because they're both public universities that receive public funding. UT has the legislative power to harm Tech funding. TCU is private so UT really has no power over the Frogs. Anyway, keep in mind that UT could change its position at any time. For all we know, UT wants zipper-divisions rather than north-south divisions and opposes expansion until they get their way. Just an example of how flimsy that opposition could be. I hope this shines a little light on the matter. Cheers.

Maybe you need to read. I said SINCE 1980 in my post. Most CBB historians consider this the start of the modern era for a number of reasons (Bird and Magic, TV exposure, etc)-google it. And the team that has won the 5th most NC's (more than Kansas) is a blue blood.

And making the tourney in 15-20 straight years separates you from those who hit a few years and makes a splash and then disappears (UNLV).

Blue bloods are born long before 1980. But even if you put that HUGE qualifier on it, you still have Syracuse, Mich State, Michigan, Zona, NC State and Georgetown as blue bloods - in addition to the 3 or 4 you threw out. They just aren't. No knowledgeable bb expert is going to agree with you that they are.

And tourney appearances are not the requirement. If so, Temple and Marquette would be in - and Princeton would have a strong case.

Blue bloods are the programs that do it decade after decade - no matter the coach. The programs that have won it all under multiple coaches. The programs that are always in the top 10 in recruiting, because they basically take application from 5-stars. They win about 60% of the the NC's in basketball. Every other year, one of us regular guys are making a run at it - like Villanova.

Every other year, one of us regular guys are making a run at it - like Villanova.

FYI: The NCAA began seeding the tournament with the 1979 edition.
Ok-using your argument, we eliminate Duke because all NC's under one coach;

don't have time to address every school but i will take Michigan St:
Consecutive Tourney appearances: 19 (4th best)
Most NCAA F4's appearances: 9 (8th best)
Championships 2 (under two coaches)

They have been a Blue blood by accomplishment in the modern era as defined by most.

Please direct me to the post that indicates your level of contribution and season ticket status. I can't check because Penny Lane is obviously not your name.

My name is Melvyn M. Tuggle. I have been a TSF Donor and season ticket holder for 27 years. You can check. I don't hide. I have paid a LOT OF MONEY. Therefore, I can COMPLAIN OR TALK ABOUT WHATEVER I WANT TO.

One of the MAIN reasons that I stopped posting or even reading in here is BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW EVERY DAMN THING.

If you read the entire threads before throwing barbs at other posters without knowing what they posted, I would not have to "direct" you.

I STILL want to know where the post is to INDICATE YOUR TSF DONOR AND SEASON TICKET STATUS

It's in this thread READ IT.

Post says that you played on some team.
It doesn't say that you are a SEASON TICKET HOLDER OR TSF DONOR.
THE ANSWER IS A SIMPLE YES OR NO.
I suspect you are just one of a number of **** talkers with ZERO investments in the program.
You can PM me with your REAL NAME. I can get Alnutt to check your status and let me know.

You are HILARIOUS. My education level, community involvement, civic achievements and financial status are on point. Talking about my skills is way above your pay grade. YOU HAVE NO EFFING IDEA.

Unfortunately, you don't either. Don't give out my personal info to strangers; guess we are strangers. Known a lot of business/civic minded people from running my company for 25 years.

Without wasting my time reading his posts, who IS this fricking guy? Does he normally get so personal with those who disagree with him?
