It happens. Still think UL will wins its share of conf games (very mediocre league overall it appears early on). But the last 8 mins was tough to watch.

Lol.

Not sure your angle here. If the players aren't good enough to compete with UAB after 15 years of being the head coach then yeah that's on Marlin

If that excuse is because of NIL money then that's not going to get better anytime soon unless there's a change that gives people reason for optimism

Is coach K still available?

I’m sorry I don’t post the same drivel after every single game about how this coach has ruined a proud program. The same program that has won one NCAA Tournament game since I’ve been alive. And I’m old.

And I get it. He’s been part of it for 15 years or whatever it is. He’s had 2 NCAA Tournament teams (and 1 that easily could have been).

But you guys hated Fletcher, you hated Evans, you hated Des (till this year). Seeing the trend? This is a hard school to win at if you haven’t noticed.

I believe the school has to think differently if they want this men’s basketball program to be successful.

But what do I know? I’m just here to lecture.

. . . that’s all you needed to post . . . and don’t forget they hated Deggs a couple years ago when they thought he was not going to make the tournament, and some wanted to run Glasco out of here for not making it to the final 8 . . .

The tenancy is to lump all fans together or declare that the entire board has a single stance. But more often than not the feelings are varied.

For instance, different fan factions were dissatisfied with each coach you mentioned.

The ones who are most supportive of Marlin were least supportive of Evans.

Marty's wife drove the bus of discontentment during his tenure.

Of all the basketball coaches Dez had more in common with Robert E Lee than anyone else.

He will also end up in a class by himself.

I was too young for Fletcher, but I liked Evans. Plus, we drew crowds of 5,000 or more. And the basketball back then was exciting. Look at the crowds at the basketball games now. We quadrupled the attendance at a Fall Ball game at The Tigue a few weeks ago over the current attendance at the Cajundome. Two of our starters left last year not because of NIL money, but because of the current state of the program. Fans have checked out. And as of now, this season is only going to get worse.

. . . I heard from a very reliable source those two players left because of social media . . .

"They" is so disingenuous.

Its like traditional media combing X to find the one off the wall quote they build a story around.
