Hello to all my southern friends. I see via the weather channel that global warming has hit the south hard these past few days. I pray that you made it to Piggly Wiggly to purchase bread and milk in case something bad happens when the temperature dips below 32.

On to a more important subject, our basketball coach Rick Stansbury Naismith Wooden, Jr. As many know (or maybe noone knows) I used to be a huge Stansbury supporter. I had excuses for all the bad things that happen, all the bad losses, all the times we couldn't beat any ranked teams, all the times we went out early in the post season. Like many of the Stansbury sheep, I stood fast to those excuses, surely it couldn't be Coach Stansbury's fault that these things were happening! He is too nice a man and has such a sweet beautiful family. No way it is his fault. No way!

A short while back I had an epiphany of immense proportions. It *IS* his fault. It is his fault that he plays his starters 38 minutes a game and lets Romero Osby get 5 minutes. It is his fault that his bench players are so scared of getting yanked that they press and play poorly in the 4 minutes a game he allows them to play. It is his fault that our offense year in and year out is the ever popular "shoot the 3 and pray" (although with Varnado it is sometimes the hope Varnado gets 20 rebounds and doesn't miss his free throws offense). It is his fault that other coaches prepare for us better than we prepare for their teams, especially in the post season. It is his fault that he can't control his players or keep his players from leaving.

Our team will never progress past "barely making the tournament" with Stansbury as coach. Some of you, many of you, are happy with barely making the tournament each year. You are happy making excuses for losing games we shouldn't. You are happy saying that we cannot do any better. I say we can and should do better. It's time that the Stansbury era ends. When we miss the NCAA tournament this year he should be fired immediately.

Stay warm, and drink plenty of hot chocolate.
Happy New Year!
Your friend,
Brutius

then I will have to choose to ignore their input. At least I didn't leave in my vegetarian signature.

Stansbury is a lot like Obama though, they both get our hopes up and then do absolutely nothing.

My biggest complaint about Stansbury - is it just me, or does it seem like about half our players get worse over 4 years?

No doubt that some improve (Varnado, Ravern Johnson) but some have regressed - or at least not improved (Stewart, Turner). FG% goes down, 3-PT% goes down, but turnovers increase. I know in basketball you don't expect as drastic of an improvement from freshman year to senior year as you would in a sport like football, but I at least want guys to get somewhat better. Our guard play looks horrible this year - like they've never played college basketball.

possibly billions off of a country full of morons that will believe anything, I would. Which is why in ten years, I'm going to sell the theory of the next iceage all the while I'm buying stock in natural gas. I'll just use the tiny drop of data that we have concerning weather, call it climate data, plot regressions, and NOVAs until the data says what I want it to say and viola! I'll make millions I tell ya, millions! And I'll even blame the same crap for the ice age that they're using for global warming coupled with the notion that the earth is moving .0000000000001% away from the sun and I have scientists that will back it up. There will be no debate with other scientists though. I will say that the debate is over.

Oh, and Bruitius.........you lost me at your avatar. I now envision a mentally handicapped fellow with one finger on the keyboard and another in his *** all the while trying to masturbate with both feet. You sir, are an idiot.

How's that slayer of antlered beasts?

Is it not a fact that last night, like most other games this year, Osby played 6 minutes? He had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls but dang, can you blame him? If I knew the first mistake I made I'd be yanked to the bench I'd be pressing too. He should play 15 minutes a game at the very least. It is also a fact that every year our team shoots FT horribly. A one or two year sample is not enough to prove that there is something wrong but over a 10+ year span when your team never makes free throws on a consistent basis, you have to blame the coaching staff.

Currently our team is ranked 139th in FT percentage. Last year we were 99th. the year before 295th (yes two hundred and ninety fifth), the year before 242nd (two hundred and forty second place). I could keep going but you get the picture. Our team consistently is horrible at free throws. We lose close games because of it. These are the facts, not my opinion.

I don't just willy nilly change my opinion because someone else says something. My opinion changed after 10+ years of the same stuff happening over and over with different players.

our FT shooting sucks and has under him.

But, in your original post you resulted in bashing Stansbury with several of your opinions, not facts. You then replyed to me with one statistical fact. I doubt, as you said, that one statistic is a large enough sample for Byrne to use in terminating our basketball coach. I would argue though, that it could however work the other way in that his wins over the same period and the overall shape of the program is a positive enough sample to keep him around.

I could post all of the facts regarding wins and tourney appearances. But those would obviously be lost on you as it has so many others on here.

Osby should be playing more? Did you see the lazy passes he was making to/from the key? He had 2 turnovers and could have easily had 2 more. Not to mention, a turnover in that location always results in points. Piss poor passes like that are a direct reflection on effort. Until he can play with effort, he shouldn't even be allowed to take off his sweats.

I swear, either some of you don't even watch the game and pick some random topic to come ***** about or your capacity for basketball knowledge peaked while you were playing on your 10 yr old YMCA team.

becasue he is scared of being benched, or at least that is according to some people here. Most have heard that from all of the bench players.

It of course has nothing to do with effort. Please don't confuse the two.

We appreciate the sheepish views that you and hair of the dawg are contributing to this discussion, no matter how wrong you are.

In March when we are out of the tournament or having to win the SECT to get a 13 seed, I look forward to your hearing your views again. I am sure the 6 minutes a game Osby is getting will have him well prepared for 2011 when we will need him to start.

If this team was coached by someone even reasonably good we would be 15-0 and in the top 10.

that some people are happy with just barely making the tournament. I see you are one of those. Congratulations on your low expectations.

You can quote whatever you want about wins and tournament appearances but we all know the wins were against bad teams, Stansbury's record against the top 50 is atrocious, and his NCAA tournament record is even worse.

There would be no Osby, no Augustus, no Varnado, and certainly no Bost. That's the point here that nobody will discuss. Stansbury is responsible for THE WHOLE PROGRAM. Not just the on-floor product. Without him, we have a team full of 2 stars and the occasional 4 star year in and year out.

I don't think this would be easy to do, but here is the best solution: Keep Stans at HC and throw a bunch of money at some offensive minded coach (and for Heaven's sake make sure he can teach kids how to shoot FTs) at a small school to come coach our offense up. Let him teach Stans how to run a friggin offense. Stans can still run the line-up, teach defense and rebounding, recruit, etc. But give the damn offensive reins to somebody who knows what he's doing. At least this way we're not risking the future of our program by starting from scratch with an unknown entity.

Like I said, it may not be doable, but it's the best of both worlds.

Brutius, you should never blame Stansbury. An avid presidential supporter such as yourself should know to blame any shortcomings on the previous administration. Therefore, our loss last night clearly falls squarely on the shoulders of one Richard Williams. As a matter fact, if Stansbury never wins another game, puts MSU on probation, gets caught sleeping with Sharon Fanning, and shoots Keenum's dog, it will all be due to the incompetence of Richard Williams. That is how any good liberal should spin things.

Looks like Tony "Little Staubach" Romo has finally learned how to lead a football team. Also, to keep going in the playoffs, you have to have a good running game and a stifling defense...which is what Dallas has right now.

As for playing the Filthydelphia Fagles three times in a season, the playoff record for teams that swept other teams during the season is 12-7. Donovan McNabb was clueless as to what to do last Sunday, and I expect more of the same, as Doomsday II once again dominates.

if the previous administration hadn't ended 13 years ago. I believe that is plenty of time to get your own rules and players in, and stop messing them up like Stansbury does every year.

p.s. republicans blamed bill clinton for the first four years of dubya's term too. Politicians in general, are sleazy slimeballs.

because Stansbury is the only person who could ever recruit players to Starkville. No other coach could ever do it. Ever!!!!!!!!!!

Randy and Turner's time evenly. I gave up on Kodi when I saw him drive within 3 feet of the basket then pass it back out instead of finishing.

As far as getting rid of Stansbury, I invite you and all the other Rick haters to send your reasons to the Ninja. I will trust his judgement after he has all your facts to weigh against his own.

Any Obama comments are like Obama avatars. They don't belong here.

you are stupider than I thought.

At least some people had a reason to have hope because of Stansbury, because he actually had done a couples of things to give them hope.

everyone who wants to fire stansbury refuses to admit he has done a great job recruiting. Obviously he could be easily replaced as far as floor coaching goes. His recruiting and overall control over the program will be greatly missed about 2 or 3 seasons after he's gone. My main concern is how long we stay that way. I just hope we don't see another period like 1964-1995. All you Stansbury haters conveniently forget that 30 year stretch of suckdom.

One bad hire and we could be right back in a repeat of that era. Personally, to me, it's not worth the risk.

Was he the one on Dick's staff who got Donate and Dampier to MSU? The Bryan hot dogs go along way with BBall recruits.

Look at Stansbury's record against the top25 and top 50. Look at his record in the NCAA tourney.

Those are facts.
