Ditto on being ready for the season to start here!
Coach Long, is excited about the up-coming season and you know that Spoon will be!
A W is a "W"... This team is gonna get it done this year
and I am thinking that it want matter much who we play!
As Mean Gene would say I got Blind Faith working here...smiling!
HEY!! Someone mention me??
Gotta agree w/my tag team partner ( FFA ) AND Champ, Phil & BD ( maybe I should be a politician?? :icon_wink: ) here. We have the talent to be better & 'Spoon should provide the motivation & coaching ( since we DON'T have that w/CL, IMO!!
Now ya'll didn't think I'd pass up a chance to take another shot ( deserved, IMHO
) at him, didja??
). I certainly don't want to play a bunch of pansies just to post a gaudy W-L record. That won't get us prepared for the tourney ( assuming we qualify. Remember when that was a given??
). But if we play the previous quality of OOC schedule ( like Tennessee, LSU, etc ) then we'll have ANOTHER
subpar record & that won't attract future recruits. Yes, I know we have commitments to fulfill ( like the Lady Vols ). Phil has a great plan in his suggestion to play some of the smaller names from bigger conferences then work our way back in the days of old tough schedule.
I'm familar w/football where the schedule is made several years in advance. Does that pattern exist for WBB? How 'bout it, Phil?
