Wow, amazing win for George Mason. Its amazing what Larranaga has been able to do over there versus what he was able to accomplish here.

I'm going to take a nap now. Please wake me up when you have ANYTHING complimentary to say about BG athletics, past, present or future.

You are the most clueless person I know.

If you search for your own posts and just read over the crap you constantly post you might start to get an idea of why you catch so much sh*t around here.

Why can't you just be happy for Jimmy L. instead of trashing BG also? Is that so hard?

It's a shame that it takes a douchebag like BO to point things like this out. Besides, it's not so much this particular comment as your body of work for the day.

The thing that amazes me is that Coach L *didn't* get BG to the dance and only had 1 MAC title to show for things. His teams were always physical, athletic, and played balls-to-the-wall defense.

I was praising JL and just stating a true fact that does't bash BG at all but states how ironic is that JL has had so much more succes at George Mason in the little time he's been there comepared to what he was able to do here. Its a plain and simple fact, nothing more.

We better hire on of Larranaga's aasistants to replace Dakich.

Wonder win the UVA job will open up. No doubt, JL dreams of that job, and he's certainly making himself a candidate.

For BG, Mike Davis will be available. So will the guys ejected from Kansas State and Iowa State. Quinn Snider paved his road to hell with good intentions. All of these guys were in tough situations and might pan out fine somewhere else.

Quin Snyder's situation scares me. But you make a good point with Mike Davis, et al... The other "valid option" to trying to find a diamond in the rough that would want to stay for a long time is finding a proven winner (which Davis is despite his troubles at IU) that can be picked up on the cheap to turn the program around in a few years before heading back to the "major" level. Don't think Davis would be that guy, but some of the others? Maybe.

Of course, when DD leads BG to the dance with a 25-6 record next year, all this will be moot.

Just caught an interview with Coach L on the feed at work, they asked if he ever thought he'd be going back to DC with a Sweet 16 spot locked up. He said, paraphrasing that it wasn't a goal, not something they had to win, but "nobody's going to have more fun than me. I'm going to enjoy this. I spent 20 years as a D1 head coach in a mid-major program and never once got an at large bid. Honestly, I think I had four or five teams that were very very good, and very capable of playing in the NCAA tournament had we gotten the invitation."

I'm guessing at least one of those teams he was referring to wore brown and orange.

Actually, my favorite quote from that interview (thank you very much) was coach L saying:

"Our attitude is the one thing we have total control over. Let's go out there with a great attitude, have fun, and be very positive!!"

I've always respected Jim L. He was a fine coach and leader for BGSU.

Agreed. He represented the university extremely well. He is a very intelligent and decent guy.

A little revisionist history with that comment. I never once saw Coach L eating at a restaraunt in Bowling Green. He wasn't involved in the community and seemed to have a bit of a superiority complex. The two coaches that sandwiched Larranaga at BG most definitely "represented the university extremely well" and were "decent guy[s]".

I did, however, really enjoy his trapping defense and up tempo basketball.

I didn't think Coach L was all that great of a coach while at BGSU and the encounters I had with him, he came across as a total jerk. I was glad to see him go. It also pains me that he is having this success when he was never able to get BG over the hump. I found it interesting that he said he had some teams he coached that he felt deserved an at-large bid. Well, Coach, if you had ever won a MAC Tournament, you wouldn't have had to worry about the at-large bids. The 1997 BG team was one of the most talented the MAC has maybe ever seen. That is my Jimmy L rant for the day. I will offer him my congratulations and good luck against Wichita State.
