Rick Pitino is who we should have gotten. Whatever it took to get him as our coach should have been done. I'm still pissed about that. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Its weird he is even being mentioned because of that huge contract extension he just signed this year at memphis. He had just recently signed a contract extension here before he bailed out on us. Memphis will probably learn the same thing UMass learned. That backstabber's word means nothing. :x Now...

Sorry CapeCod. Julius Erving is the greatest player in the history of the program.

Hey Phil,
Lubbock is about 340 miles from DFW, so it'll be a good 575 from Houston. That's just an average day's drive here in Lone Star :wink:. And I used to think it was a long drive from Brookline to Amherst. :)

HDNet is owned and operated by Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. As of now, it's still a free service if you have a hi-def tv. I think you can even catch some Mavs game with it.

As a matter of fact, I already know the story. My point ( which I guess I've not made clearly), and what gets stuck in my craw, is some individuals belonging to this board think they can tell the rest of us what we should know, what we need to know, and what we don't need to know. Sheeesh! Do some o...

Do "personal reasons" include getting dismissed from the team for academic reasons and being previously suspended for violating a restraining order? I don't think so. Why all the secrecy to begin with? If people are supporting the team and/or contributing to the Athletic Fund, they deserve...

I guess "need to know" only counts for our guys. See the "you guys must be slacking" thread. :?

This whole thread would probably die if someone in the know would just tell the rest of us just what the hell happened. :?

Although I'm not crazy about the new logo, I think it's okay. It came out much better than what I expected it to look like. I do wish the UMASS was done away with and we went with MASSACHUSETTS throughout.

What a cool new logo that is! And they stayed in the family and had their own art director design it, too. Instances like this make me wonder why our university can't handle a situation like this in a similar fashion. All things considered, I'm apprehensive as to what our new logo will look like. :?

I'm no UConn fan, but I applaud the fact that they made the move to 1A football. Football is where the big money and national exposure is. After all, isn't that why Miami wants to move to the ACC? Being 1AA in football has hurt us in the past, it's hurting us now in regards to the current conference...

Has anyone else ever heard the legend that Metawampe will drop his spear when the first virgin graduates Massachusetts? Last time I saw him, the spear was broken, but he was still cluthing the part in his hand. :)
