Come on, dude! Brando has covered SEC basketball for quite some time. To say he isn't biased towards the SEC is silly.

Yes, I have listened. I have also watched him on CBS calling SEC games for a long time. Brando loves SEC basketball.

and when you love something you are also harder on them..Same way iam with Tech:icon_wink:. I listen everyday and why i like Tim is because I think he is fair.
Re: Malone on Mike and Mike
I wouldn't call him fair. He has an agenda. It just so happens to line up with our views as a non-BCS program.
Re: Malone on Mike and Mike
Tim is fairly unbiased, yes he calls SEC but he actually calls more ACC than anything else and his friendship with White's dad and mom have more to do with this than anything SEC...
There is a reason he is the most wanted (hated) man in Alabama :icon_wink:

I know we aren't supposed to call people names on the board any more but you are freaking insane if you believe that. SEC football maybe. He was one of the biggest critics of SEC basketball this season.

IMHO, he'll be there after meeting coach White would be my bet.

You can love something that sucks.
I love Tech football but its sucked more often than not.
Its been his job for decades. I'm sure he loves it.
Re: Malone on Mike and Mike
If Karl didn't like the way it was handled then he should have inserted himself into the situation. He was given ample opportunity to step in and from what I hear scheduled a meeting and canceled it. This was his guy, his hire. If I am Rupp I am mad Karl chose not to insert himself. He didn't come to a home game for the last two months of the season. What do you think that says? Now he is mad about how it was handled? Sorry, not buying it.

Coaches know if you don't win, your job is on the line. It's the nature of the business. Any coach finishing a season with a 2-14 conference record in their 4th year should know they're on the hot seat. This shouldn't be a shocker to Rupp or Malone.
