MBB G13 Final: Louisiana 73, SLU 72

It doesn’t matter who we point out, it can’t be done here. That’s the message I get. It’s been preached repeatedly on this board by those who are close to Marlin.

Butler, Wichita State were pointed out as models but they are not really because they are in much different situations. We cannot transplant UL out of the South and into basketball country nor can we reallocate football funds. The other schools pointed out have not had a level of success that is not that much greater than ours.
Come up with a program that is in the same situation and has sustained, top-tier success, because I don't really see one.

How about Houston?

How about Houston?

Maybe--2 NCAA appearances in 26 years. 1 regular season conference ship in 3 decades. 1 tourney championship in 2010.
What do you think?
Would you have hired Sampson after the mess in Indiana?

Except Hunter has done that in 5 years not 9

Same as Marlin's last 5 years. I'm just comparing apples to apples in the Sun Belt, since that is how long Ga State has been in the league.

And those who despise Marlin do the same. It’s an endless cycle, like Washington.

Turbine makes money off the traffic, but is it good for our program(s) for all the world to see this monkey crap throwing festival?

Really, that is conveniently applying the facts to give the Fish a 4 year pass.

[Rainman66]

Not really, because he tied for 1st in his first season, so that would give him the same number of conference championships as Hunter, but you do you.

Well they are 13-0 with wins over LSU, Oregon, Ok State, Utah St and BYU. Hell we would never play that many good teams in one season let alone beat any of them.

They fired a coach in football who won 8 games and would have won 10 had their stud QB not get injured.

So there is another example. Let’s throw that one out too.

You right. Let's give him a modest raise and a couple year extension.

I'm ok with UH's arc. But you are talking about .5 of a season. Being in the AAC helps too.
