Ok you Stansbury-Cult members- Its been 6 years

[Coach34]

This is the 6th anniversary of me telling you wonderful people that Stansbury is not a good enough coach to make it to a Sweet 16. You poor bastards have had to endure such laughter and disgrace like a giant fatwoman at a Delta carnival. But you come back each season for more defending his weak pre-conference schedules and touting his success in what has been proven to be a 5th-rate conference in basketball.

2004? Yes, I know- Xavier just got "hot"
2005? Zoning Dook is still his worst coaching move he's ever made in a game
2006? The year of "the Mississippi State Fab 5" I was told as we limped to 15-15
2007? Gary Ervin "thriving" as he rubbed Stansbury's nose in it as he clinched a return to the NCAA's with a trip over us in Atlanta
2008? Inexcusable early season losses forcing us to play Mempho in Round 2 of the NCAA's\
2009? Not playing Augustus until the very end

What happens this year? Who knows. But I hope you guys enjoy being the favorites this season. There is no excuse to make this time. Its all there for the taking.
Good luck, its going to be a fun ride

...I have confidence that we will win our share of SEC ballgames. We can't have any slipups in the preseason, and need to have no more than 1 loss heading into the SEC. We've got to get a 6 seed or better to have a realistic shot.

We need a respectable non-conf schedule as the non-conf schedule is the holy grail for NCAA seeders for some reason. Better to play tough teams and loose than to beat a bunch of nuthin teams. And should we beat some good teams in the non-conf....hell, its practically an automatic 2 seed assuming we take care of bidness in-conf.

...I read this board enough to know I am sick of your Mullen propaganda.

It really makes you appear an idiot to constantly twist the deficiencies & errors of Dan Mullen into something that is akin to blind loyality to a lover.

I realize you will continue to bash Stansbury for attention. And we'll have to endure it, because you are inexplicably immune to banning.

But until you destroy the 50 candle Dan Mullen altar you have erected in your bedroom, I would go easy on the cult smack.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

The six pack powers that be have made it clear they would prefer to beat UT-Martin by 45 points in front of 3,900 fans at the Hump instead of daring to take on respectable non-conference teams. The other problem is that our record in said respectable non-conference games is less than good, and some people still believe that a good win total is what gets you in the NCAAs, ergo we should not play respectable games. Our problem is we are extreme. We play tons of crappy teams and lose too many of the respectable games to see an appreciable gain from doing it.

You serious, Clark? That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've read on this board. Deficiencies and errors of Mullen? Holy ****, do you want Crooms back? Is that your idea of a good coach? Mullen has taken chicken **** and done his absolute best to make chicken salad out of it. With the talent on this team, we should have had no business being in games with LSU, GA Tech, or FL. We've probably got a grand total of 10-12 SEC caliber players on the entire team, yet we're about 5 plays away from 5-3 right now. Yeah, Mullen's made a mistake or two here and there, but nothing that is glaringly awful. Mostly it's typical first year HC growing pains. The offensive improvement alone speaks volumes, and that's in spite of having a midget D-II QB starting for us. I swear, your drivel is as bad as Ol Blew's.

 

[jackobee]

I guess you ascribe to the same type of "what have you done for me lately" fan base that agitated to fire Tuberville at Auburn and Mullen at Florida.

When you walk into the Hump now and look at the banners hanging, you really are struck by how much more we have accomplished since 2003 than we did in the previous 20 or more years.

Stansbury is the sole reason that most MSU fans expect to make it to the tournament on a consistent basis and win the SEC

 

[Woof Man Jack]

You never change Coach...one set of rules for MSU, another set for everyone else.

</p>

2004? Yes, I know- Xavier just got "hot"

Xavier damn near made Final Four...HUGE success by your guidlines. So, apparently they did have a good team.

</p>

2005? Zoning Dook is still his worst coaching move he's ever made in a game

Duke makes Sweet 16. Again, HUGE success by your guidlines. Another solid team that defeated MSU.

</p>

2007? Gary Ervin "thriving" as he rubbed Stansbury's nose in it as he clinched a return to the NCAA's with a trip over us in Atlanta

"Mr. Thriver" and company get their asses handed to them in the first round. HUGE failure by your guidlines...yet, just because they beat State and qualified for the tourny you view it as a positive.

There is no doubt Stans needs a strong tourny run...I totally agree. Just can't believe we've got to put up with another season of your basketball/Stans ****.</p>

You guys? You don't count yourself among the MSU fans?

[Ol Blue.sixpack]

I'm not the biggest Stansbury fan in the world, but he's had a pretty good run.

I think most MSU fans who understand how college basketball works would take 20 win seasons 6 of the next 7 years.</p>

I'm still amazed, though, why he hasn't gotten a look from other schools. You have guys like Darrin Horn who essentially parlayed a half court shot into a job at SC. You have guys like Stan Heath who took over a stacked program and rode a 3 game March win streak into the job at Arkansas.</p>

When are these AD's ever going to learn that building a basketball program takes more than a couple of weeks in March?</p>

Coach34[/b]]2008? Inexcusable early season losses forcing us to play Mempho in Round 2 of the NCAA's\

Did you forget the loss to UGA in the tourney to a team that had played like 3 games in two days? We know Coaching is the only thing that could keep us out of the Sweet 16 this year. Will it, only time will tell.

 

[Indndawg]

but I don't see the need in continually harping on Stans' coaching skills.

IMO, Stans was a crappy bench coach after taking over after Dick but he has show considerable betterment over the years.
Recruiting, pretty good.

My rub w/him has been letting his prima donnas have their way and the expense of the team. Perhaps, he's gotten better in this dept too.

When I look at the banners, the Final Four and Sweet 16 banners are the pride and joy- and that happened before 2003...then conference titles, then conference tourney titles, then SEC West banners- in that order

 

[dawgstudent]

his job is safe. I expect at least Sweet 16 this year but as long he makes the tourney in whichever manner he chooses, I am happy with that.

That belongs to Richard Williams. He showed it was possible for MSU to have a good program. The program lost to Delta State and other ****** teams on a consistent basis before Williams started building it. Stansbury has done a good job of building on what Williams started, but his drawbacks as a floor coach constantly hold him back from being great. Until he makes a run in the Tourney- Williams > Stansbury

 

[Coach34]

"its going to come down to them putting points on the board...and while they will still struggle due to limited skill players,"

They have had some devastating injuries this year as well- hence- cant put points on the board. Whats that got to do with Stansbury?

 

[lawdawg02]

but i will be disappointed if we are not in the sweet 16 this year. we have one of the best big men in the country and some talent around him.

also, we should be good enough to not be a bubble team. therefore, we should get a decent first round matchup and at the LEAST, get past round 1.

 

[Berserker.sixpack]

Expect more RATs this year ...

Still shaking my head at Shaun Foster's 100 3-pointers vs MSU back in spring of 2008.

'Bury's permeter "defense" lives!

I expect sweet 16 and will be disgusted if we don't make it.

[Coach34]

all this bad officiating has brought up old grudges

 

[DowntownDawg]

We have one of the best defensive big men in the country. Jarvis is not a great scorer or rebounder, and probably won't be. Maybe his defense puts him in the "best overall big men" category, but I still can't help but look at him as somewhat of a specialist who is defensive in other aspects of his game.

 

[bulliegolfer]

this.

 

[GuyBehindtheGuy]

Not comparing him to these three... but I believe it took Wooden 14 years at UCLA to win a national championship, and 13 to get to a Final Four.... took Dean Smith 20 years, then 11 more to win his two... took Jim Boeheim almost 22 years... I've always believed a national championship in men's college basketball is the hardest championship to win in sports outside the Stanley Cup, and a LOT of times, it just doesn't happen...

What Stansbury has been able to do at this school is remarkable... this is not a recruiting magnet like a Kansas, Kentucky, or Carolina, but he still gets players... he still wins games... he still wins division, conference and conference tournament titles... he will eventually break though... give the guy a break...

Richard Williams had two or three good seasons and the rest were worse than Stansbury's bad ones...</p>

 

[RonnyAtmosphere]

..but I guess you are replying to me since you blockquoted my whole post.

Mullen is doing okay. But things like the fake punt vs. Florida, refusing to coach Lee to pump fake his passes & some other things I will not get into has shown Mullen to be probably more human than this board likes to admit.

My point is 34% acts like Mullen's own personal cult member, while at the same time he does nothing but use this forum to bash Stansbury.

Plus it's pretty ridiculous to call anybody who likes the only coach @MSU who is a proven winner a "member of his cult."

I'll just close by saying this: If you people really think Stansbury making the Sweet 16 is really going to get this 34 ******* off of Stansbury back, then you have another thing coming.

It will just harden his resolve to bash Stansbury for not making the Elite 8.

Either that or some other inane nuance to bash Stans about.
