So

No Chancellor
No AD
No mascot (except for Col Rebel in hiding)
I'm not sure we are accredited. at least it was when I graduated, that's all that well counts.
Pitiful to say the least!

Not as bad as you portray.....

Vitter and Bjork being out is addition by subtraction.....

(Bjork being gone cost me some money.....Prompted me to renew....)

I can live with losing, heck, I am used to that.....but
This is an opportunity to reset with some quality people who understand the state, the fan base, alumni and boosters....

I hope we don’t blow it.......again

There's some good folks on the search committee but there's also some turders.

 

[em6126]

Well they better get this right......enrollment is down.....ticket sales and donations are down....apathy in athletics is creeping.....

Blow this.....and those negative trends continue and get worse....

Get it right and these things can be turned around.....

I talked myself into sticking around another year because bjork is out...

They need to give me a reason to stick going forward......

 

[zreb]

Well those in power don't see the light. They blame it on Trump I imagine.

No comment on political issues......

Some of the issues that need to be addressed are not political and embarrassingly obvious......

Yes, I am aware that some said we needed new outside perspectives.....

Well, you can see what that philosophy has achieved...

It is possible to hire an outsider who has fresh ideas AND still can get the internal Mississippi stuff right. It is called someone with COMMON SENSE!

If you can find a needle in a haystack.

Agreed......but there hasn’t been a lot of common sense is Oxford for a good while......I hope we see some again

Not extending Bianco’s contract is a start.

Matter of opinion on that Hightower. A profitable program in the toughest division of the sec. We could do a little better but A WHOLE LOT WORSE.

And with that mentality we will never do any better lol. Bianco should have 4-6 appearances at the CWS with the amount of talent he has had. Hell the best recruiting class in the history of the program were juniors this year and didn't even show up for 2 out of 3 games in the super regional. That's coaching not players.

 

[zreb]

I recall when the NY Yankees had the best players available but didn't win the pennant. There's always the battery draining mentality too. Woe is me for not eating all of the cake.

 

[em6126]

I am inclined to agree with Pratt.....given the facilities in Oxford......given the fan support in Oxford.......given the great recruiting classes....

It seems he should have accomplished more.....

I think Bianco is one of those guys that delivers more if he knows that he doesn’t have a free ride.

 

[zreb]

It's one of those things you don't know till you try it. I'm just happy to have a program in the black.
