Yeah, he'll be able to write his own paycheck for next year, then he'll get fired after 4 years at whatever BCS conference school picks him up (Tennessee is just one possibility, I think) due to a 63-59 record (30-42 in conference).

Depends on the extent to which he's willing to emulate the "successful" coaches. Might take him a while to catch on to the rules of the game.

I don't know about that...if the school/alumni/boosters will get out of his way and let him recruit the kind of players he wants for his program (ala Coach K), he will be successful at any level. If and when they stick their noses in and start whining about "not getting the top quality players" then he will have to turn into a Calipari/Self/Pitino/etc...

Sorry, I'm still a bit jaded after the last two Iowa coaches.

Speaking of your tagline....Heard that one of the Morris twins told a VCU player that the run was over at the pre-game. He was right.

Wow...if that's true, it reminds me of the Seahawks/Packers playoff game a few years back. Went into OT, Seattle wins the toss and Hasselbeck says "We want the ball and we're going to score."

Three plays later he throws an interception that the Pack runs back for a TD...

Sometimes it's better to just keep your damn mouth shut.

Play from the UK/UNC game:



Possible missed travel call...important call/no call since a foul came subsequent to it.

Play from UK/UNC game:



In the chat room, it was discussed whether this is a call we pass on? Should there have been a more patient whistle?

204....no travel...but VERY close...it appeared that the ball was caught between strides as the right foot came down, step with the left, and the right foot was just about the touch again when the ball was released on the shot. Again, it was VERY close and looked funny at live speed but funny isn't a travel.

205...flop. No question.

207...good continuous motion call.

208....very close. I think Liggins may have been moving slightly forward at the time of contact. He remained on the floor (which technically doesn't matter but makes it a lot easier to not actually commit a foul) and had his arms sufficiently vertical. However the UNC player had a good look at a shot and gave it up to make contact. Not all officials will give a player that foul....particularly when the defender didn't bite on the pump fake.

212...Travel.
