Congratulations to OUR MSU Bulldogs.

I am not saying that anyone is not a "true fan". That is gay and Genespagesque. Just pointing out that before the freaking game is even over we have the usual posters on here griping about Kodi's PT instead of being glad that we are taking care of business in Tampa. If one bitches during a 19 point blowout and then bitches during losses then does one ever really stop bitching?</p>
...you say that you aren't saying I'm not a real fan, but then you question why I'm bitching about Kodi's PT after a nineteen point win. Yeah, whatever.
I'm all about the big picture. The win today is great, but we shouldn't be in this position. If you let your joy about a win over a terrible UGA team override your frustration over what could've been this year, then I have more of a right to question your fandom. The attitude you have is very much Genespagesque, to use your phrase.

... savor this win because I kept asking myself, "Where was this team all year???" It's telling that Stans wouldn't voluntarily praise Mr. Augustus so he must be pissed that Mr. Augustus proved him to be a fool. Which many of us knew ...
This team would have been up and down all year even with Kodi in there because of all of the inexperience. Sure we would have won a few games that we lost, but I think we also would have a lost a few we won because of our 3 point shootingFrances Drebin said:
This is true of State because Stans' coaching philsophy. Once we went to that four guard lineup, we weren't changing, and once teams adjusted, we were too easy to defend and we lost some games. My point isn't limited to playing Kodi more minutes. We need to be able to make adjustments, not just in-season, but in-game. We need to be able to take what the defense gives us. Any team in the nation can win when they shoot 45 percent from behind the three point line, but we need to be able to go with something else when that isn't working. Fishwater says we live by the three and die by the three and that's right, but we shouldn't have to. We could live by the three, and live by Augustus and Osby at the high post when the three isn't falling.
games with Augustus and Osby in there, you would be bitching about Stans not going with the 4 guard line-up. Rinse and repeat.
The man can simply do no right in some of your eyes. ***** after a loss. ***** after a win. It is a never-ending cycle.

how bad an attitude or big of a mouth Kodi has with all of his comments this past week. It is all Stans fault. He is a damn fool. How could I not see that?

Exactly. I will continue to accept the fine coaching job Stansbury has done for us here at MSU. He has had his down sides but he has put more teams on the court that have walked off of it as the winning team at the end of the game then the losing team. Stansbury is doing great with what we have and Kodi has taken advantage of a perfect opportunity for him to shine on the court. I don't remember Kodi playing as hard earlier this season as he is now. He is playing like Stansbury said he should and could have been playing all along.
retort. So very substantial of you.
I just find it so funny that you and some of the others will ***** no matter what. Win or lose, it is ***** ***** *****. Get a $%%*%!% life or go get laid or something. Find something that will actually make you happy. MState sports sure as hell doesnt.

...I'm not bitching about our win here today. You are lumping me in with others. I even say down the board that I think we can win the tournament.
I'm definitely disappointed about what this year could've been. Damn me for expecting our basketball team to be successful. Your attitude is the one that kept Sherrill here a year too long, and it's the one that put up with Croom's ******** for too long. You talk about the "inevitable 'Go back to GP'" comment, but pot, meet kettle with your "MState sports doesn't make you happy" BS. Seriously, if you can't debate my points on merit and have to resort to "Stans hater" responses, then you don't have the mental capacity to be posting here to begin with.

It is always about "what could have been" instead of just enjoying what you have in front of you. That is why you constantly come off as bitching about the basketball team. Sure I have some gripes about Stansbury, but my God you and quite a few others take it to ridiculous levelsFrances Drebin said:
'This win will hurt us in the long run..', I don't think you need to be talking about anyone's mental capacity.
Why do expect us to be successful in basketball? Oh, that's right. Because of Rick Stansbury and the program he's built here. He has us expecting Tournament every single year and then when we come up just short, it's time to move on to bigger and better things.
And then you go comparing Sherrill's last year (that he stayed one year too long) to what Stans has done as of late? The man has won 20 games aGAIN, has his team playing the best they've played all year with a chance to go far in the SECT, but he's overstayed his welcome? Ok, whatever.
I don't know what world you live in, but here in the real world, we're not going to have a coach that coaches every game perfect, makes all the right substitutions at the exact right time, recruits all 5* sure-fire NBA 1st round draft picks and gets us to the Tournament every single year. We're just not! This is not 'woe is me' either, it's called reality. We have something really good in Stans, but no matter what we do, there's a few of you that just ***** no matter what. It's dumbfounding.

What's in front of us? An NIT berth? Am I supposed to get excited about that? Maybe we go on a miracle run and win the tournament and get in the NCAA as a 12 seed, but I can't help but thinking about what could have been with wins against Charlotte, San Diego, Texas Tech, Alabama, Ole Miss, etc. Those things just didn't magically go away.
hell last year we were looking at an NCAA birth and you were playing the what if game because of the seeding. Like I said it is always something. Until we play the perfect season, and get a high seed you will continue to *****. Anybody with any sense knew this would be an up and down season this year, and now that it was you act shocked by itFrances Drebin said:
....my last post on the subject.
It's like the recurring dream from hell. You don't even know what that is all about. You, and a few other retards, just chose to take an argument out of context and boom, it takes on a life of it's own. Never mind that what I was talking about played out exactly like I predicted it would. But, like CB9 so eloquently stated once, "Facts mean nothing to idiots."
Now, to your Sherrill point. AGAIN, you suck at reading comprehension. Maybe our resident ACT expert can give you some tutorials. I wasn't comparing Sherrill's job to Stansbury's job. I was comparing you and your attitude about Stans to others and their attitudes about Sherrill. You know, let's turn a blind eye to reality because we really like the coach and we're hanging our hat on what he did five years ago.</p>
I don't expect a coach to coach perfect every game. There are a lot of times we lose games and I don't say a peep. Like our last loss to Auburn...they're just better than us. But it's just my nature to expect more when we're capable of more. I don't know if you have kids, but maybe it's cool for you if they're C students. I expect more from mine because they're capable of more. And regardless of your "built program" comments about Stans, our basketball program is comparable to a C student right now.

Had we played better and won the games we were supposed to win, we wouldn't have had to play the number one seed and national runner up in the second round. All those games during the course of the season count, which is why we can never afford to come out flat, or be unprepared, or unwilling/unable to make adjustments in-game.
You can spin it in your head all you want to mean something different, but to me that means that a win is going to hurt us in the long run. I guess it did in your mind since we didn't win the National Championship, huh? Way to substantiate that, spin doctor.
Reality is that we made the Tournament just LAST YEAR, and still have a shot THIS YEAR.
20 wins with a shot at the Tournament is a C program now? Wow. I never knew.
