I just know how offended you are by the use of the words dimwit and disphit. Just wanted to be sensitive to your sensitivity.

I do not believe "offended" is the right word. "Excuse" to ratchet up the rhetoric in response to said words may be more apropos. I recall you getting all huffy when the retorts heated up in response to said use of words.

Underwood has been coach for 6 years with no Sweet 16's.  Could care less that the program sucked when he took over for Groce.  6 years is plenty of time to turn things around. 

The 2023-24 needs TSJ and Hawkins back, along with an impact pg transfer, for any chance at a Sweet 16 run.

By any reasonable accounting, he has turned us around.  There’s no way around that objective fact. 

I’m nowhere near naive enough to think that a S16 would change the tone of people who literally can’t even acknowledge that he turned us completely around from a complete after thought who missed the tournament more than they made it to a nationally relevant every year tournament type program.  Obviously you will just move the goalposts.

Incapable of honest discussion still.  Some things never change.

YOU made the poll about Underwood being fired.  Remind me what it said?

But agreed. We should not be comparing ourselves to our worst years. We should be comparing ourselves to the mid 90s at the very worst.

To be fair, Underwood should be compared to what he inherited.

That is what separates Henson, Kruger, and Self. They left the program in better shape than they found it. The program declined under Weber, and got even worse under Groce's direction. So far, Underwood has not only done better than Groce, he has done better than what Weber left.

So no?

Does not look that way to me. But, then again, I regularly appear to not understand that Tempo's typed words might mean something other than their dictionary definitions.

Not exactly. But you use the expression a lot when responding to me.

But never, you know, in reference to you.

Is English not your first language or something?

You know I'm not saying you want Underwood fired.  I've never said that, because you've made it clear you don't (you'd just be okay if he left).

Yes, I’d be ok if he left. I think you’d also take issue with it if I constantly responded to you using terms or actions you’ve not advocated for.

Are you advocating he ignore you?! Do you want him banned?!
I didn’t know that. Thanks!
