giving further misleading information about what was said. I guess in some arenas the more one repeats a falsehood the more people will begin to accept and believe it. Much like someone claiming that they were under attack and dodging enemy fire at the airport in Bosnia. Well, sometimes one is forced to look carefully, check out, and respond to such illusory accounts of what is said.
To respond succinctly and clearly to your accusation; I never took issue with the quality of last year's class relative to our circumstance or prior year's. I simply stated that I did not feel it was as good as some others had protrayed. Some, of course, is now based on actual performance (Leon, Lampley) while other comments were made at signing for individuals such as Hooga, Mumford, Costner, and Leon.
Of course, none of this fits with your agenda which seeks to place lack of performance solely on the back of "one person". Unlike you, I have taken a more balanced view, placing responsibilty for the poor result on some higher than realistic expectations for the players as well as on the coaching. Much like the politicians of today, everything is the fault of the opponent, in your case, our present coaching staff. So fixated are you on the one cause, that you could not even restrain yourself, even in circumstances where there was but no other alternative. Amusing as much as it characterizes your bias, you found John the culprit in misusing the guard play by allowing Leon to run the point while, "in everyone's eyes" (paraphrased, but meaning yours), he was not capable of performing this role. I'm still scratching my head on this one. Guess the staff must have missed your early season take on this one. Did my intolerant and feathery friend think that Lampley was the better choice or would he have had Spitler running this high-powered offense?
You indeed are the master of ex post facto statement.

Yes you did -- Peacock, Monday, April 07, 11:51:51pm [1]
You specifically challenged in order, Mumford, Costner, Lampley, and Hogga and also asked about their quality. Or did you really believe that their quality is a 6 win team. You have also implied it about Shumate. You hide under the guise of skillful writing but practice the McCarthy tactics of the 50s. You asked where their résumé’s were as if you had no knowledge of their accomplishments in HS.
I know being a skilled politician is your desire but you have been as transparent in touting the stories from within with pleasure. Your best comment was on Hogga's defense which I doubt was intimate knowledge on your part.
Are you not the same guy who wants to blame the administration for the inability to get good players. If am not mistaken you even once blamed the garage.
And finally you even again practice making statements that are not exactly on the money. You come out when simple questions were made on the performance of the staff and respond about agendas. There are no agendas, other than yours, only questions about the obvious what all see. You struck with the vengeance of a defender of the faith when simple questions were asked. The more negative comments came because of your defensive responses. The need is to wonder why that balanced approach of yours is so soft hearted on the performance of the staff. You were not balanced but completely and totally for the staff as if they hardly played a factor in the poor performance using nothing more than throw away comments as criticisms aganst them. In this you are identical to the Siena faction that defend their absurdities.
Back down all you want now, but you continue to still make an issue about talking about the defections, when in fact you have been the only one who pre-emptively initiated those thoughts. Maybe someone is going to go and that in it self casts doubts on the staff when one ties in the issues of last season. You make more trouble for the school because you bring to the surface the issues that are suspect by trying to defend them. Even your Leon Lampley comment is a great example of that issue.
Other than your self and some other great evaluator, not one has come to the defense of Leon at the point. An God Bless you, because with this comment you actually expose your inability to see what most others do. And then you defend it by saying the staff couldn't see it.

Are you the father of revisionist teaching? -- Sludge, Wednesday, April 09, 01:41:37pm [1]
Either you fail to to absorb my sarcasm or refuse to comprehend what was written.
You overstated the talent of virtually all that was brought in last year. I made my opinions known by cautioning on the qualifications of such as Costner, Leon, Hogga, and Mumford. How quickly you choose to forget. On the other hand, how else does one make his case.

By asking -- Peacock, Wednesday, April 09, 06:39:27pm [1]
Was this team as bad as their record or a product on inept handling. Not only did they have the recruits, but two former All MAACers and a promising sophmore.
Your failure to even consider poor managment as a more than an incidental is monumental.
