My thoughts on the state of the MSU basketball program:

  • coastdoglover said...

    I am realist. I simply have stated the facts that you guys who screamed for change said 20 wins did not mean anything anymore and then your ringleader says it will take over 3 years to get there again. I am not against Coach Ray but I think we could have gotten him at any time and still kept a nucleous of SEC calibre players. Scott did not have a plan or coach in place and then was forced to hire a coach who told folks he would have been thrilled to get a mid-major head job. Maybe he will prove me wrong and I hope he does but for your ringleader and the rest of you who have been saying the SEC is weak, when we can't break even in the league I want you to know some of us have good memories .

    Ok, say we kept Stansbury one more year. After next year he leaves, we hire a new coach, and players transfer. Wild you be saying the same thing then? That we needed give him one more season? At some point you just have to cut bait and start over.

    And with him completely starting over he needs to ease up on the schedule. D I want an deasy schedule every year? Hell no, you can't afford to in this conference, but until he gets some players in that is what he needs to do

    Living in fear is just another way of dying before your time

    ...quit all the posturing about blaming a prior coach, he helped put us on the map. You are sounding just like Obama blaming Bush after 4 years.

    Honestly? How long has it been since Stans resigned? As for as putting us on the map...I will agree that he did.

    But our spot on said map had been fading fast for the last several years and was becoming clearer on another map for dysfunctional programs.

    Why didn't you use last years schedule? Typically the way you twist things. The facts you refuse to admit is had we signed all of this years class including Pollard, we wouldn't have to do this. I find it amusing you are willing to say it will take 3 years to get to 20 wins again when we had a coach who had done it more than 50% of the time. Keep blaming Stans all you want to but he will prove you wrong once again because you talk out of both sides of your mouth and most folks know it. Ray has a chance to become a hero, now let's see if he can do it and quit all the posturing about blaming a prior coach, he helped put us on the map. You've been wrong so much lately it seems you would've become used to it by now.

    I didnt use last year's schedule because that one wasnt the norm for Stansbury- 2006 was his normal type of schedule.

    Pollard was far from being a Bulldog. Hood's father was quoted as saying Rodney was looking to transfer when Stansbury was the coach- so you never know what would have happened there. Playing a bunch of Freshmen wouldnt have made us a very good team. You cant spin that. Hell,Josh Gray is being turned away by other schools- he is just another problem child Stansbury signed. It would have just been more of the same thing we've been watching for years.

    Obama blaming Bush????

    Stansbury has been gone 1 month. ONE. UNO. This whole next year is his fault. He left it like this. You cant clean up the lack of talent and attitudes in one month.

    And coach you are full of it. Rodney was coming back until the meeting where untold numbers of expletives where thrown at the team and I got that from Ricky and Marcus myself who both talked to Rodney and Rickey. Pollard's dad told our staff he would be a bulldog in front of momma and the kid. it was a done deal so quit trying to distort the truth. I know it, Buck S knows it and you are clueless on this just like you are on Horatio Webster. You always say your source, who the hell is a source in Shreveport La and why would anybody ever talk to you unless they had your agenda? You will be blaming Stansbury forever because you have hated on him for over 9 years and it had nothing to do with the past 2 or 3. Quit trying to con everybody. Anybody who has been to Sixpack knows that to be true and doesn't matter how much you try and spin it, it is fact. You got what you wanted, now let's see if it is better. I happen to think that we will be lucky if we do better and I hope I am wrong, but don't come on here and jump on folks who watched your hate and venum for almost a decade and who know how you twist things always to your agenda.

    All was well- we just fired Stansbury for the hell of it. He was well on his way to building a basketball Empire in his 15th season. Because we fired him, we will never have anymore success in basketball. Rick Stansbury is the only coach in the history of the world that can win at Mississippi State. And he is so good, nobody else even wants to come here and play now- we are going to have to use robots to play just to field a team.

    Now that he is gone, we will go back to the days of single digit win seasons. We may as well just remodel the Hump into an extravagant indoor baseball practice facility.

    Goodbye College Basketball Dominance- Rick Stansbury has left the building!!!!

  • see, this is what I mean about all your BS. Pollard's dad died years ago. And you were trying to make it sound like he and Stansbury talked in January. If Pollard was so set on coming to State like his Dad wanted- why didnt he sign in the early signing period? State was the only school for him right?

    Tell us another story about how the woman running the drive-thru at Hardees in Taylorsville talked to you about how great of a Coach Stansbury was...

    Just stop. Nobody believes the crap you are spewing.

  • CoastDogLover:

    stop. Just stop. The other people here are too nice to call you out- Stansbury was fired. Stricklin and Keenum just dressed it up nicely and let him go out with dignity for being a very good employee for our University for alot of years. He had a contract for 2 more years- so he was going to get alot of his money regardless after next season. And for his years of service we agreed to let him ride it out to retirement in a BS job.

    You are on here making up stories, and trying to sell people on crap we all know isnt true, You are just embarrassing yourself now. It's time to let go. We all know you're hurt and upset- but It's time to let go.

    Stansbury's gone and he is never coming back. Like Jackie, Like Polk, and now Stansbury- we have to move on.

  • Coastdog is telling it like it is. He is in a far better position to know what went on than you do. I cringed when I saw you say "we" agreed to let him ride out ....... In fact he has enough sick leave that he doesn't even have to show up but for a minimum of time for that as you say BS job. Which carries a hell of a lot more prestige than a rubber salesman and message board junkie.

    No Buck he is not telling it like it is. He has made post after post since April 1st talking about how we got rid of Stansbury- when you get rid of a coach that has 2 years left on his contract- what do you call that?

    And what does it matter how much sick leave Stansbury has? He doesnt have enough to get the 25 yr retirement yet- so he was in need of more time on the job.

    And for the record, I sell surgery products to hospitals for Neuro, Oral, and Craniomaxillofacial surgeons. CoastDogLover sells condoms as well. Lets not act like he and I arent in the same game.

    Let it go guys- let it go
