Don't judge the program using the tragicomical over all else, in other words while ignoring everything else.

Instead judge the program by the trajectory it is on. In other words winning more against the same competition.

Ps Tragicomical: "series of incidents, of mixed tragic and comic character." In UL's case injury and sickness at playoff time. Don't use that as the benchmark of not succeeding.

Turbine, Are you from Boston, because I'm getting the impression that you're wicked Smaht.

While we are being silly, IT WOULD TAKE WAY MORE COINS THAN THAT TO GET ONE OF THOSE THREE.

I'm not yelling no, I can't see the light.

The days of this university hiring a high school coach to be a head coach are long gone. Nothing against these fine gentlemen, but even McNeese passed on Rick LaBato last week. I’m glad we’ve moved on from that mindset.

Correct. That seldom works out.

I hate to keep harping but for 520,000 dollars , there will be lots of suitors .
High School coaches can’t do it ?
Gary Broadhead ? Art Briles ?
Tim Leger ? Mike Desormeaux? Matt Viator?
Rickey Broussard? Lewis Cook ? Tommy Tate ? Tim Rebowe ? Hugh Freeze ? Gus Malzohn ? Head Coach of the World Champions Philadelphia Eagles Doug Pederson were all high school coaches . These are just some off the top of my head.

While I, along with everyone else wants and expects to qualify for the NCAA tournament, at least on a consistent basis,I am still somewhat surprised at how much some people disqualify winning the regular season conference title.

I’m pretty certain this will never happen but I really wish the conference tourney would be done away with and let the reg season champ be the automatic qualifier. To me...what u do over the long haul is more of an accurate gauge of who the best team is, as opposed to who gets hot over a 3-4 day period. Especially in a 1 bid league

One draw back to this is once teams are out of contention....do they give their best effort and skew the potential real results?....

Bogus argument. Now they don't have to give their best effort at all til the tournament, because the rest of the season doesn't matter.

Everyone in the SBC getting to go tourneying is silly goofy.

Oh, so you WERE serious when you previously mentioned those HS coaches? Oh, I thought everyone just assumed that you were joking around. Well, how many of those coaches you named went straight to college as a HC? Yeah, no thanks. I'd rather Byron Starks over all of those others because we at least know he can recruit.

I think this year was the exception, not the norm in terms of winning margin by one team. Granted, yes there are the bottom half teams in the league who would be out of the running by mid February but I think there would still be intrigue in following the title race. However, with all the money thrown into TV contracts for conference tournaments and the impact of that tournament week, this will likely never happen.
