That is just stupid. I'm so sick of people using that excuse. We had a bunch of whiners on here during football season , probably including yourself, spouting the same ****. We couldn't talk about getting rid of Crooms without producing a legit list of candidates blah blah blah. I think that one turned out well. As for hoops, why would we have to be different? Do what half the NCAA teams do. Hire a hot name that made a nice tourney run in the current or previous couple of years. It sure didn't hurt programs like Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kentucky, UCLA, Texas A&M, etc in the past few years.
I found myself agreeing with most of what he replied that he felt. I had mixed feelings about Croom's hire, but felt at the time, if the hire was on my shoulders, that I would have hired him. I would have been a whole lot quicker in admitting I made a mistake tho. (which has not nor ever will come from the departed one LT.).
I agreed with him that Polk should never have come back, Cohen a great hire as well as Coach Dan Mullens. Greg Bryne is a blessing for us as well as Scott Stricklin. For those that have not met Scott, try to do so, he is really going to be good for us.
Stansbury being a decent coach? Certainly not the words that I would use, is he a great coach? Can't say I would use those words either, Is he just about the best coach for MSU, yes indeedy. I might add that I think he is getting better every year.
I sat behind on front row right behind the bench his first year as HC. The managers would argue with each other as who would get water and towels for the players, the walkons were flirting with girls in the crowd during huddles, he didn't confer with his asst coaches, just those sort of things going on.
To me now, he has that look of determination , he has come into his own.
One other thing, the other night I pulled LSU up until the last few minutes and realized that we really needed them to lost, but took a lot of satisfaction in watching super star Hopson dash any chance the Vols had of winning.
And thats all I got to say about that.

I don't know what HD does for a living. But, perhaps if a rubber salesman and failed high school coach that went to a substandard high school can in good faith make fun of it, it is fair game.
Second, he wanted to be reinstated to a message board so bad that he apologized? Weak.

This message board is that douche bags life. Of course he apologized so he could get un-banned, this is all he has.
I agree that he has some good points... but not always...but sometimes the MF is just over bearing.

I would never have thought of this weak *** name if it wasn't for C34. I'm thinking about changing it back to DustinDawg.
MOFO back. Yeah, he harps on Stans a bit much & thinks the spread is the answer to all offensive problems. But if he coached with Lanny Lyles, he can't be all bad (& although he probably failed to mention it, PongDawg was his play-by-play guy). Long live C34. He's full of shat but so are most of the other members of this board (including me).
Coach is a hella of a lot more entertaining that most of the posters on this board and as previously noted, between his attention whoring and dumbassing he does make some interesting points. And I think his Stans hatred thing is blown way out of proportion. He just wants to upgrade if Stans can't take the program to the next level. Whether or not State can upgrade is up for discusion, but all MSU fans should want the BB program to reach for the highest level, otherwise why are we all on this sports board.
and the man has a past record that should earn him a little more lee-way (sp?) than some of you want to give him. We have obviously not had the post season success we all wish we could have had under Stans, but he gives us a damn good chance pretty much every single season of getting us to the Big Dance. Unfortunately, we've had some tough games in the 2nd Round of the Tourney under him and ONE bad game against Butler, but for the most part I simply can't complain about how we've performed under him.
If he doesn't get to the Tourney next season, then it may open my mind a little to the fact we may need to explore other options, but until then (especially with all the other coaches that are truely underperforming in the SEC), he deserves our full support and shouldn't be on any kind of a hot seat. I know the 'young' excuse gets brought up regularly under Stans, but seriously, we truly are a young team that has a solid nucleus that will more than likely be here for 3, 4 more years. To me and most reasonable fans, Stans has the right to get these guys playing as upper classmen. I would be willing to bet we make the Tourney for 3, 4 years in a row once these guys mature a little more.
It's just funny to me that our current coach has us on a level that we demand to make The Tournament every year, or every other year, and if he can't keep us on that same level, we should fire his ***. I'm not a woe is me kind of a guy, but some of you idiots need a reality check and should be grateful for the things MState currently has with its basketball program. Stans has been the one silver lining in our Big 3 for pretty much this entire millenium. But we should fire him for not getting back to the Tournament 2 years in a row. Yeah, that's the ticket. Let's fire our most succesful coach because he has weird substitution patterns. Yeah!

If you are really comparing Sylvester Croom's record to what Rick Stansbury has been able to accomplish at Mississippi State University, then you are truly a fukcing idiot. We wouldn't be replacing a dumbass, stubborn fool with someone competent if we fire Stans. One is an excuse-making jackass. The other has us consistently one of the Top 4 programs in the SEC. We would rename this damn school after Sylvester Croom if his dumb *** had anywhere near the same winning percentage as Mr. Stansbury has.
You get it, dumbass? We will be replacing the winningest coach in MSU HISTORY with more than likely an up-and-comer mid major coach who hasn't proved **** in a major Conference. This may happen sooner than I hope it does, but I guarandamntee you it will be a MUCH LARGER RISK to go get us a new basketball coach than it was to replace Sly Croom. If you can't understand that, then as usual, you are just a comlete fukcing dumbass!

Buzz Peterson totally sucked at UT. Please go back and compare his record at UT with Stans' at MState and get back to me.
Oklahoma lost their coach to Indiana. They actually did well by getting Capel, but they were forced to get a new coach, and not because of the lack of success from the previous administration.
Kentucky is better now than they were under Tubby? Really????
UCLA had Lavin. Got a good coach now. Can you really compare MState and UCLA bball though?
A&M - yeah, they're a whole lot better since Gillespie took off for UK.
You obviously know what you're talking about.
Here is the thing that really bothers me about you guys that love Stansbury so much:
You want to talk about how successful Stansbury has been, and we are the 4th winningest SEC program the last 10 years in conference, and we are King of the West....thats fine..i'm ok with that because it is all true...
Where I get bothered is you guys turn right back around when we say if Stansbury doesnt get to the Dance but once in 5 years- he should be gone...the first thing is "Who can we get better? We are just little ol Mississippi State" Either we are a successful program- or we are not. And successful programs can attract quality coaches.
Stansbury doesnt make the dance- thats once in the last 4 years. Gottfried just got fired, and Bama has made the Dance once in the last 4 years. Granted, I totally realize they appear to be going in different directions, but the results are the same. I agree Gottfried should have been fired.
We'll see how all this plays out. Stansbury can remove any doubt by simply making the NCAA Tourney.

You both just automatically assume that there's no way Stans can get us back in the tournament in the next couple of years. There's a 17ing reason we're a successful program. And that reason is our head coach. No coach should be above being fired if he doesn't perform, but goddamn it the man went to the NCAA last year and looks to be poised for a solid NIT run with a very young team this year. Get off his ***. He's doing a good job.</p>
If we're a bubble team that just barely gets left out next year (and making the pretty safe assumption that he doesn't make it this year), no way he should get fired. But my main point is why do you guys just keep assuming Stans can't win and get us to the NCAA tournament? You both talk about it all the damn time. WTF does the man have to do to prove that he CAN get us to the NCAA tournament? He's done it 5 times in 10 years at a school that only had 3 appearances in 45 years before he was hired.
should be a bowl game. The goals for our basketball program should be the tournament. I know it's harder to make the tourney than make a bowl game but if you only do it once in 5 years, then that's not acceptable.
He's been there 5 out of 10 years since he's been here. 3 trips in the ENTIRE HISTORY of MSU before that. He's almost doubled the amount of times we've been to the Tournament in only 10 years, but that's simply not good enough for a few of you. That is what's so amazing to me.
this one takes the cake. Did you say you COACHED middle school girls or WERE a middle school girl.
I actually feel sorry for you that this place means so much to you that you had to write something like that.
HD6 had the right idea a while back when he threatened to ban anyone that responded to any of your posts. I may be like that one man protester trying to save Sherrill's sorry ***, but starting now I'm not going to respond to your repeated cries for help. I hope others will join me.
