In the two years we've been in the AAC our classes have ranked 2nd and 3rd in the conference. In a conference with UCONN, Cincy, Memphis, Temple, SMU, etc.Originally posted by RoyalShock View Post

You have to give them some leeway though. They're a spurned lover, like if Sofia Vergara passed them on the sidewalk and she didn't return the smile and eye contact sort of spurned lover.Comment

Ok, fun might be over now. They combined all the Gregg Marshall threads then locked it lolOriginally posted by ShockerFever View PostComment

IMO, we are very, very close to this yearly event of is he staying / is he going from ending. First off, our jump to the AAC GREATLY improved the WSU heading coaching job. WSU now has the ability to compete with any school, outside of the blue bloods, for recruits. They can get in the living room of any recruit that is not a 1 and done. That wasn't possible in the MVC. WSU is now on par with many schools that would of been a step up from us 3 years ago. I feel this essentially eliminates 70% of the job openings from Marshall even considering them. Arkansas is profoundly more appealing to Marshall if we are still playing Drake, Bradley, and Evansville every year...
Secondly, Marshall is rapidly approaching 60. He is not a young coach any more. Him being considered for jobs each and every year is going to decrease, because big time universities don't want to hire someone that will potentially retire in less than 10 years. Why hire a Marshall at 56, when you can hire a Beard at 46?
We are extremely close to the day where Marshall will essentially be locked in at WSU for as long as he wants to coach.Comment

As a practical matter, Jhook, he's already there. The only respect in which he doesn't have a "lifetime contract" is that they don't call it that.
Alabama could afford to back up the truck -- they have one of the highest grossing, most profitable programs in all of collegiate sports, plus a football coach who's paid so much (and always will be) that they could offer Marshall a huge raise and still easily preserve their internal pecking order. Yet they couldn't pry 3G away.
So now, Arkansas fans think their athletic department, which has none of Bama's advantages, will be able to reel him in, presumably on the strength of their proximity to Walmart's Bentonville HQ? Good luck, hogs. -
Yes, but if Roy Williams retires and UNC comes a knocking Marshall may very well take that job. Our move to the AAC has eliminated the Arkansas' and Alabama's of the world from appealing to Marshall, but there are still jobs that would appeal to him. One of my points is he is approaching 60, so those appealing jobs that may come a knocking are less likely to happen.

They merged all of the Marshall threads and locked it up.
LOL!
From 'we gon' to hire yer coach' and 'flightaware is saying...'
to...
'stop talking about this it never happened'
...all in the course 180 minutes. Amazing! Have never seen a more ridiculous sports forum, and yes they even eclipse the solar system of gasbag ***holes over at phog.Comment

I’m pretty sure they call the half court line the “50” and making a basket a touchdown.Originally posted by RoyalShock View Post
Seriously, Arkansas basketball is about as irrelevant as they come. And I’m just talking about their own conference. I mean, who are they even above?Vanderbilt? Georgia? Maybe Alabama? Talk about a dreg.Deuces Valley.

To add even more fun to this 180 degree turn around, I noticed this morning that the Bradley board of course had a dedicated thread talking about how Marshall was going to Arkansas ... using the same random outlets as proof. Of course with their normal trash talk.Originally posted by ShockerFever View Post
They have since fully deleted that thread ...Comment

Here's the guy, if anyone wants a shot. Really a pretty disgusting thing he said, in light of its baselessness plus the fact he's a media member. There's nothing even slightly thuggish about this years team, personality- or behavior-wise, so the comment is pretty much dripping with racism. I'm not someone who feels the need to point that sort of stuff out at the first slight, but dude should really receive some professional feedback on the comment.Comment

Arkansas, I understand the #metoo optics, but why not do yourselves a favor and hire Chris Jans? Would work for significantly less and you might not be looking for a new coach in 3-5 years.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.Comment
