One of many opinion pieces on the Edey subject.

I'm thinking the Badgers have shot today, so long as Shannon isn't allowed to get away with rape.

Because UCLA is so good?

WTF.

I watched only two segments of hoops this weekend, last five minutes of IU v N 1st half and just now the last minute of Brown's implosion vs Yale in Ivy final.    

In both instances Nebraska and Yale were invincible

This is the third consecutive game for Illinois in which they've been in white and their opponents have been in red. They've also trailed by double digits in each of those games.

I'm fairly confident that Northwestern is in and Ohio State is out but according to the NCAA's own NET system:

• #49 Ohio State 
• #53 Northwestern

I was talking about Holtmann landing at Depaul while he was still coaching here. You probably missed it talking about how great Randy Ayers was

I think that years of defending Holtmann's indefensible performance has confused you.

Ayers had league titles and deep postseason runs at Ohio State which clearly exceeds Holtmann's accomplishments but that is a ridiculously low bar. 

Ayers accomplished those things with mostly his predecessor's players just like Holtmann's best season was with his predecessor's players. 

I never said Ayers was great. Don't try to distract from all the foolish things you've said by lying about things I said. 

As far as Holtmann at DePaul, I could care less. His new job and his performance there are irrelevant to his failure at Ohio State as explained to you earlier. The only reason I care at all is because his salary there offsets the buyout that Ohio State has to pay due to the ridiculous raise/extension that Smith gave him which you seemed to think was a swell idea.

LOL. I am right about almost everything. I tell you what will happen before it happens. And all I get is "don't lie about the things that I said." Thank you would suffice.

As far as I can tell you are the only one here who cares where Holtmann goes.

You've  been defending Holtmann's performance and arguing about it with me for two years and you've been wrong the whole time.

I was right the whole time. You said that it didn't matter who the players were, who got recruited, or anything except who the head coach is, as if the head coach is Yoda and who can magically make the program good with the power of his mind.

I said we seemed to be on a good track with recruiting, and he has had good teams in the past, so blowing up the program would be stupid. And it would have been stupid. Now, we have a well-stocked roster and the chance to be a pretty good team next year. I'll admit, I didn't think it was very likely that Diebler would win a bunch of games and get the job. That kind of thing almost never happens. But I'm glad it did and I'm pretty hopeful for the program at the present moment. But if you think we would have been better by hiring Chris Jent two years ago, by all means, have your opinion.
