You're complaining because you wasted your time opening a thread that didn't interest you? You have over 1000 posts in less than two years on a site where you spend your idle time. Do you want us to believe that you come here to increase your intellect and someone is interfering with that process by not using proper thread identification, or did you just feel like complaining about something at the moment?

You might but most who pay a lot if money to watch the Tigers play will not. At $3M a year and 3 Top 60 recruits handed to him and a Lionel Hollins type personality (not my words), Tubby will have a very short honeymoon.

I am realistic and expect a little over .500 season. But it was tempo KenPom was referring too. Which means slower games and less points but hopefully the same for the opposition. I've been following Tigers since 1966 and have never seen a Memphis fan base accept a true half court offense with a slow tempo.

Tubby may be forced into that style that due to lack of depth and talent outside the 3 I mentioned.

Hopefully, a couple of guys stepping up, better coaching and discipline will overcome that.

We have at least one person posting thread after thread complaining about how Tubby is not recruiting as well as Pastner (early on) or Calipari (later on.) Now, we have a thread about the liklihood we might play slower with Tubby as coach. What's next, a thread speculating that the 64 year old coach may not be here 20 years from now? Good grief, did you guys not know anything at all about the coach before we hired him?

Hmmm.....wonder who that is....?

If you're going to bring something as bizarre as this out, you should name the poster. Obviously someone that is off the deep end. I can't remember anyone who has compared Tubby's recruiting to Cal's. Goes without saying as Cal was and is arguably the best in the nation. Yes, we knew Tubby was not a great recruiter but most expected better than what we got for this coming year.

And most expect to see a dramatic improvement in the fundamentals and discipline of this years team as that IS Tubby's thing.

There is room with our recent pace to slow down and still not be a 'pound the rock / full shot clock' type squad.

I don't think Memphis fans have had to root for a slow team in a very long time. I don't think we'll be slow, just not extremely fast.

Maybe half fast?

Ok, if kenpom's numbers mean a potential slower pace, or we score a little less, what effect would playing better defense than the ole' crap we had under boy blunder have on the potential to win as many if not more games than we did previous years?

Are kenpom's numbers only reflective of offensive production? I'd like to think our defense will be improved too and will have a beneficial impact on wins and losses. Looks like someone is going off using half fast information to arrive at their pre-determined answer that supports their obvious agenda.

You are obviously have trouble with reading comprehension. My post you JUST quoted:

"Which means slower games and less points but hopefully the same for the opposition"

Why waste everyone's time by not taking a few extra minutes(?) in your case and read and try to comprehend the post you are quoting?

I do comprehend, but I must get a little blind to what you type because everything you post is a repeat of the same lament: gloom and doom on anything Tiger athletic-related because you don't care for the treatment you've received from the current AD, based on the wonderful treatment by your former insider, who is no longer employed there.

You don't like who they hired.
You don't like how they handle relationships.
You don't like when they don't acknowledge your input.

We get it - you don't like them.

Why does everything you post have to be tinged with this? Is is any wonder if I read your post I lose comprehension before I can finish? It is all based on the same premise.

WRONG!! Find all that. Not there. Also, don't blame me because your attention span doesn't last to the end of a post.

I'm not a cheerleader on a message board but I've put my money and cheers behind the teams at games for a long time. Have you?

If you don't like, put me on ignore.

But check your facts before you post. The above post had NOTHING to do with Admin. Then you come back with another error filled post. You are not capable of out your thoughts in writing. SMH.

I had been thinking of leaving this forum like so many other of the good posters have done. Probably should because there is only about 15 guys left that do 80% of posting but I've never been one anyone attempted to bully and I'm staying because I won't give into to the clique that has ran everyone else off with the anti Pastner threads no matter how the thread started. Had another one just a couple of days ago. You guys can't get over him yet you fawn over Tubby who has yet to coach a game, had a terrible recruiting year and said today "Memphis kids don't want to come to Memphis".

If Cal or Pastner had said that, it would have put this forum in an uproar for weeks.

And you are in that clique. What did you think of Tubby's Memphis kids remark today? Generating conversation everywhere except the SUPPOSED Fan forum.

This was one reply on Tubby today that got no attention or criticism to speak of:

They are thin on bodies. KJ still isn't 100%. Also to me sounded like he's already making excuses for not landing highly rated Memphis kids in the future. Said the Memphis brand doesn't mean much to local kids anymore, and he'll basically pull lower ranked kids from wherever and make due. I like Tubby, but his lack of recruiting will lead to good 20 win seasons instead of great 30 win seasons.
