Let the firings begin
-
@JayHawkFanToo WOW, you stunned me, really stunned where you got any indication where I said John, was in position or wanting that job lol – but good for you, good to read in between the lines, and that took some hard reading lol, but I guess I could turn that and say are you trying to say Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson is being considered for the job? – that is awesome. - Umm, NO I wasn’t saying that at all, you said you didn’t know where information was coming from - -it was coming from John, that’s why I mentioned his name. - Now moving past all this, I DID just hear that Tom Crean would not be interested in taking the job, and that Conzo Martin had at least BEEN OFFERED the job - -again HAD BEEN OFFERED, doesn’t mean he is going to take it, but is considering it. - -Then they go all talking about how Martin wouldn’t be a home run , but umm ehh could of done better, could of done worse, - -then turned around and was talking about how it could be turned into a home run with Martin
To that , they said Martin coming out of east St Louis, maybe he could talk Michael Porter to come back home something about how porter was from the East St Louis area also, and something to the effect of The Washington situation and porter making a comment if things happen about re-opening his recruitement. - To that part that’s all just ya, da, ya, da, bullshit but looking like maybe Martin going to be Mizzery next Coach - again REPORTED by 2 different sources and confirmed from some Mizzou source that yes he had been offered the job. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Dude…you are all over the place. You need to carefully read my post to see what I actually wrote. First, you asked if I knew who Jon Sundvold was and, anyone in this board that has followed the Big 12, knows who Jon Sundvold is and hence my comment about knowing who Jordan and Magic are as well; I guess I should have used the sarcasm font.
Now, who is this “John” you are talking about? Are you referring to “Jon” Sundvold or some anonymous John Doe you know? Your apparent incorrect spelling makes it difficult to follow what you are saying or who you are quoting since you provide no evidence to support your claim or links to the information.
Now, what does Counzo Martin have to do do with Michael Porter? Are you perhaps thinking of Lorenzo Romar who coaches at Washington where Porter commuted? Michael Porter is not from East St. Louis, he comes from Columbia, Missouri, home of the MU Tigers and Martin comes from East St, Louis, ILLINOIS.
You see how your comment are all over the place and since you provide nothing to back them up or links to your information it is hard to take them at face value. You will notice that most serious posters in this and other forums, typically post a link to the source of the information so other posters can determine for themselves the validity of the information. It certainly would help if you cite the sources and provide a link to the information you present; not really that difficult.
Now, if you want to indicate that Martin has been offered the job and apparently accepted after notifying Cal that he was leaving about 1 hour ago, you cite a link like this. See? Easy peasy.
-
UW is “re-evaluating” Romar. Ie he might be fired today.
-
If he is, Martin will likely make a strong push for Porter’s dad to join his staff at Missouri.
-
@JayHawkFanToo and what your proving is when you get pissed - -offended butt hurt upset you just hit the Auto defense and get your rack off about my mis-spelling - -that’s sweet. - -OBVIOUSLY you KNEW who I WAS talking about so good looking out - - -DUDE - -DUDE? - -DUDE? lmao - -well golly pardner didn’t mean to get your chaps - -chapped, you just hang in there you be all right roflmfao. you do understand those abbv’s don’t you - -I mean I can spell them out but seeing as your one bright hombre I’ll take it for granted you can figure that. Lol my apparent incorrect spelling I’m really sorry about that -let GOD strike me down for not spelling a name right - -How many fricken times have I told people I fully realize I make mistakes on things here? - have you not read that - -probabably not seein at the time you wasn’t butt hurt in that topic - but since this is directed to you- -you jump on Mr Grammer punctuation you know it’s people like you that make this world go round.
NO I’m not thinking about Lorenzo Romar. - but thanks for trying to fill in the blanks. - -I know exactly who I was talking about, let me spell it out for you ONE MORE TIME - -if you weren’t so worried about my horrid spelling you would of took more time to read what I was saying about Conzo. - They referred to him coming from EAST ST LOUIS - - , they also referred Porter coming from EAST ST LOUIS, and they were talking about the possibility of Lorenzo possibly being let go, and if that were to happen Conzo be able possibly yo sway Porter to come back home, on top of the fact I guess Porter making a statement if that were to happen he would ask for a release and re-open his recruitment. - -Now have a great time at tearing down my grammer- -my spelling, I’m truly sorry I mis=spell and non correct grammer, I’m truly sorry I can’t spell the right way all the time or not place comma’s question marks, periods, only a few blessed ones such as yourself are so talented thanks for making my day
-
@JayHawkFanToo ummm by the way never hear of Eats St Louis, where is that? you might wanna check your own post’s before you so quickly try and correct others. - -things that make you go hmmmm. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - - just not quite sure where EATS St Louis is - - -must be a really hungry place roflmmfao.
-
I’m not gonna give the time day to talk about who Fizzou wants to hire, dont give damn to be honest. In terms a Marshall going anywhere deal I highly doubt it. He has the WSU athletic department bye the balls. He is the 9th highest paid coach in all of D1, hirer than several NC coaches. Outside of some one like UNC or Duke offering once Roy or coach K retires most other programs ether don’t have the money to give him around 5 million a year to leave or dont wanna take the risk.
-
@JayHawkFanToo One other item - - -DUDE AGAIN you obviously just look to try and play people - -well me anyways want to ride my as on grammer and such- -you have obviously not seen, taken seriously, or just didn’t sink in - how many times I have said here how I don’t know how to paste, copy, or any other of that crap - so just because I can’t do that - I’m not Serious? - -give me a fricken break - -and step the hell back up off me - I bet you understood that didn’t ya - - -DUDE
-
Sometimes, all it takes is a look in the mirror to see who the real “Brannen Greene” is. Just my 2 cents.
-
Missouri is in the process if finalizing a 7 year deal with Cuonzo Martin. Bad hire for Missouri because Martin is a job hopper and not an upward job hopper. He’s laterally job hopping which implies to me that Martin is not an easy man to deal with.
I also didn’t realize Cuonzo Martin is the guy who shot KU out of the 1994 tournament when he played at Purdue.
-
@jayballer54 do you use a touchscreen or mouse? Paste and copy is simple. I learned by typing (how to paste and copy) then hit enter and the magic box told me. You could also ask anyone on here and they can tell you. Just need to know if you use a touch screen or a mouse.
-
You do underrated that writing “John” instead of “Jon” makes a huge difference, right?
On the other hand…never mind.
-
@Ralph well Thank you , I appreciate that, I have a mouse, mine is on a desktop but I can try as you did I’ll give that a try, I appreciate you trying to help me – unlike some others that all they want to do is try and tear people down because I may not be the best a spelling or my punctuation that’s just BS, never claimed to be perfect in grammer - -far from it, don’t have time for people like that. - -Thanks again greatly appreciated. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@brooksmd So when you looked in the mirror did you see Brannen? lmao, I could do this ALL DAY. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 They was talking on radio 810, just about the same you say - not really sure it he is an upgrade by any means. They said he is a kind of coach that will pretty much keep a program right where they are. Gave a couple of examples as to where he followed a coach, that Coach might of had a 20 win season, the Conzo come in and just do the same no better no less just lateral - -doesn’t seem to smart a move - But they said as long as Mizzery isn’t willing to turn loose and invest more money for a home run this will be the result. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark YA that’s what I was trying to imply, but for some they just didn’t get it. They were talking about if Romar is let go, Porter had made some kind of comment about I guess more or less looking elsewhere, and that’s where Conzo comes in. Said if Martin could get Porter to come to Missouri then he would be a very good hire for Mizzery. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
You two, @JayHawkFanToo and @jayballer54 are making my post one of the most commented on posts on here. Keep it up!!
-
Sorry, I am done with that…
-
me too I’m on to things that really matter. - -lmao sorry buddy, but hey it’s all good as long as we kept your thread active lol, just messin with ya. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@JayHawkFanToo Don’t spend too much time on @jayballer54. He readily admits that spelling and grammar count for squat in his universe.
-
@sfbahawk Thank you for pointing that out. - -It’s good to see some people pay attention - I never claimed to be a Scholar - -I did realize that I had made the mistake, I knew that this particular Sunvold how his name was spelt, just blew it off. - -Always happy that people are quick to notice short comings - -must be really awesome to be perfect. - - lmao. - -Sure do hope all words are spelt correct in here, not sure if my confidence can take another blast, oh what I would give to be a rammer major. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 It isn’t a matter of anyone simply wanting to point out flaws. If you don’t care about spelling or grammar, just be aware that it can change the meaning and confuse people. Not their fault if that happens, so why get so angry about it? Correct the misunderstanding graciously and move on. People are trying to interact with you, but as you see, some are losing their patience.
-
@mayjay As I am losing patience with them. - -I don’t come here to be attacked, seems like some have made that a goal, I’m not a type of person that’s going to let that go. - -I mean They come at me for the mis-spelling of the Name Jon for Christs sakes - -they obviously knew who I was talking about, just wanted to take the opportunity to make us of That - -John is Jon they know that - a different spelling - -how petty is that? you tell me. Hell If I really wanted to go that route just tonight seen numerous mis- spellings and such from different posts, but you don’t see me ragging on people, If I know the word they typed whether it’s typed right or wrong - -SO WHAT?. - In the end run I’m not losing any sleep over the petty crap one way or another I’ll still sleep just fine. - -People like it fine - They think I’m an as fine., but one thing that isn’t shaking I’m not going some people take any time they think they can attack me for little shit as simple as spelling, or just because I don’t know how to post links - -Is that what this site is for? - -Be little people personally attack some one’s short comings?- -How many of anyone or everyone in here is perfect? - No flaws? - -Interact - - - ya ok - -loving that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - -I TOO CAN AND AM LOSING PATIENCE
-
@jayballer54 I hate to say it buddy, but you kind of kept forcing the issue before the other poster pointed out that it’s not John, but Jon. His first couple of responses to him were a little condescending asking him if he knew who John Sundvold was. If someone asks me a question like ‘do you know who jon sundvold’ is I’d be like, what do you think I’m stupid or something? I’d get a little defensive too, and then maybe point out that it’s Jon, not John. That’s just the way I saw that conversation… He and I have had our little disputes and we both finally just decided to move on and not get all offended. I’m happier for it and I’m guessing he is too.
-
well today is today and that was yesterday, soo I’m just getting hyped for the tourney today - -Full day of Games - -ready for the Madness. - -I don’t carry things over soo I’m ready to se and hopefully the Big 12 represents itself well right? - Lets hope so right, Do you pull for all the Big 12?- -I do come tourney time, the more we win the better we look. - -Got to double check my tourney picks, won’t matter, I won’t win squat lol. - -Any ways hope you have a great day -let the tourney begin - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 I do somewhat, but growing up a Big10 fan mean it’s still in the blood and I’ll usually pull for them. But not over KU of course.
-
@wissox AHH Yes that’s right your the Wisconsin fan also aren’t you? -well that’s col nothing wrong with that. - -Am I right you like Wisconsin also? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Tom Crean out! Wow
-
I hope Indiana goes for and gets Alford. UCLA has a loaded class.
-
What is Alford’s relationship with Indiana? Didn’t they pass on him before?
-
He played there under Bobby. He’s about as good as they could hope for now, and he might turn them down tbh.
-
Somebody said that Indiana was on its knees, offering big money to bring back Bob Knight to resurrect the program. And that Knight was holding out for even bigger money, also the free pass to bring along Dick Vitalis as Hair Apparent.
-
Marsha?
-
@jayballer54 Yep, we’re gonna knock off Nova…I hope, but we got to win tonight.
@approxinfinity I assume Crean got fired?
Bobby Knight’s got to be getting pretty old I’d think?
Indiana could lure a lot of good coaches away ‘lesser’ schools. This could create a big switch up in the college game.
-
Yes Crean is out at IU.
-
Unless UCLA empties coffers to retain Steve Alford, he will come home to Indiana. Secondary impetus: his having to cope with Lonzo Ball’s dad thru two more sibling recruits.
-

That’s a good one, a coach who changes jobs so his recruits DON’T follow him there !
-
@ParisHawk I have never been a huge Alford fan, but man-o-man, he deserves some support in the face of the Ball family brouhaha. Gotta be many times worse than the agony laid on Bill Self’s shoulders by X Henry’s dad and brother.
-
For a spell I was reimbursed a piddly coupla thousand dollars to embrace the annual coaching turmoil which I see Bill Self and many other topflight highly paid coaches endure year in and out. I hold no ill feelings about one penny of their lofty recompense. I just watched Bill on national tv facing the media onslaught re the latest Josh Jackson revelations. Brutal labors!
-
Well, just came across the TV - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY- -The latest firing. - -Georgetown is parting ways with John Thompson the 3rd. - -So any possible transfers from there for us maybe? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 I didn’t know he was on the hot seat. I know they’ve been a relative non-factor for quite a few years. That’s still viewed as a desirable job I assume. It will cause a little more than a ripple.
-
@wissox I had heard something to the effect a ways back, but really hadn’t heard much, will be interesting to see what happens and who might be possible transferring out of that program. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
K ind of a side note - - heard that ol Dougie G is going to interview for the Okla St job, looked on their boards, a thread was Doug G in or out as Okla St coach?- -It was pretty top heavy for Doug to bring him on board. - - crazy move I think if they do. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mack to Indiana scuttlebutt.

Not just hot seat - scorching. Students and alums have been agitating. The issue has been, of course, that he’s John Thompson’s son and the University president has always been close to the father. But 2 straight losing seasons at home eroded that legacy support - the nadir was a loss at home to last place (in the BE conference) DePaul - esp. when one of the DePaul players was quoted as saying they could tell the GU players weren’t really into the game. Losing is one thing - losing the players is another.
Rumors are Amaker or Dawkins - I guess in part because they are originally DC guys - but as a Georgetown grad school alum - I don’t find either of those to be of the slightest interest…
-
And really if you don’t watch much Big East basketball it’s almost hard to fathom how bad Depaul is. Missouri probably would have beat them this year.
-
@BShark They nearly beat Villanova in Philly believe it or not, but you’re right, they’re horrible.
-
ISU has extended Prohm through 2022.
-
LSU hired a guy from VCU. Not exactly a splashy hire. He’s only 34 years old I believe. His name is Will Wade. No matter how his teams perform he’ll realize that LSU fans care little about basketball and he’ll move on.
-
I am not sure if anyone posted that Washington has new coach. The new coach Mike Hopkins will retain assistant Will Conroy and add Tim O’Toole and Jason Hart. O’Toole and Hart were assistants in the Pac-12 and both have ties to Syracuse, where Hopkins had been assistant the past 21 years.
Apparently Porter had a 3 year contract for $300K per year…so that is the going price of a top recruit. I am sure MU will match that; interesting that with his kid(s) still young and unproven, he warranted only an assistant position on the women’s team, I will guess at well under $100K. There is no question there is a blatant quid pro quo involved and the NCAA shoul be looking into…but I am sure they have their hands full checking if the next Diallo received a ham sandwich or God forbid, a new pair of sneakers.
