OCU is bent on bringing their athletic program down even farther than it has gone in the last few years.

They used to be the dominant force in the SAC and a step above all the other programs in every sport.

Now they're no different than OBU. Just another NAIA school that nobody pays any attention to.

McDaniel and his band of hillbillies ought to be shot. He should have stayed in Alva.

"A coach that wins..." Yeah Josh sort of like Hays, huh? Oh wait, this year was the first in four that WBU didn't make the tourney - that would be something your Danny Boy can't parallel.

"A step down, both professional and personal." I won't argue with championships, but to compare Thurman with Win's personal record? Some people on this board have short, short memories - and even less character.

I won't touch 'Hata's comments because it would be silly to speculate, but a coach that has succeeded as well as Thurman has in P-ville should garner some professional admiration. I am sure he would do quite fine at OCU.

That's okay, we'll keep him... at least until someone hires him away. It will happen.

First of all, hope I wasn't one of those OC fans who ticked you off. I don't think I've ever said one negative world about Wayland, so I'm pretty sure I wasn't. But just to be safe, sorry if I was.

Next, I agree that Thurman would do well as a coach pretty much wherever he goes. I'm still wondering why SNU didn't give him a shot a couple of years ago. (Think what a guy like him could do recruiting to those facilities in a large metro area.) You're wise to be thankful that he's still in Plainview.

Lastly, don't bust on Dan Hays too much. Even Todd Thurman would tell you that he's not at Hays' level as a coach -- probably because Thurman used to be on Hays' staff at OC. (That was, for one year, in between stints at SNU. Who knows -- he might have been a plant.) Seriously, Todd is a good guy and pretty funny, too, when you get to know him. OCU could do a lot worse.
