Not having Carmody on your list is a disservice to the whole concept of SLTH.  Seriously.

[LickNeckey]

fair enough

it was an error in judgment to value Theus's slth potential over a proven commodity, my apologies

Almost nobody on here understands what SLTH stands for.  Not the acronym, what it stands for.

[jtksu]

SLTH's stand for doing it the right way, for building a solid foundation for the program, for developing upstanding student athletes who are fine ambassadors for the university, and (of course) for looking like sweaty used car salesman while trying to coach 'em up a team full of shitty players into a postseason tournament so they will get to stick around one more year in Lincoln.

He is easily the king.  I don't even feel like talking about anyone else.

When they were playing really well for a while this last season I thought about him being the king a lot

Theus is awesome.  Not at all a SLTH.

Not even a contest.  I mean, his record speaks for itself:

Almost had 'em over the hump last year.

I said yesterday the recruiting season has been a big disappointment. nobody can really disagree, though cobb is one of the big recruits we've had. the potential was there for so much more. or was it?

i'm starting to realize it's not carmody's fault. maybe it's a subpar arena, sharing a weight lifting facility with how many other squads, and a locker room that doesn't remind anybody of what Michigan state has. MSU has a special hang-out lounge with huge flat screens and leather chairs. their locker room rivals notre dame's for football.

and doncha think oregon has a pretty nice joint thanks to phil knight?

if brust goes to wisky to the kohl center and comes here, does that play a role?

what about loyd coming to central st and going to niketown?

let's see. ryan vs. carmody, altman vs. carmody, maybe that's really a wash. they're all good coaches.

looking at the schools, we're better regarded academically, but if you go to UW, Oregon, CU, they're not diploma mills.

you're want brust, mills, loyd, you tell them to ignore NCAA history and be part of something special here. but everything else is sort of a wash. CU, UW, oregon, not bad places.

yet the facilities? yikes. i love our arena bbut 18 yr old boys probably see what else is out there and think, "yeah, now THIS is the big time"

or maybe it's the fact we're basically returning our whole starting lineup and none of these were gonna crack it.

you decide.

[EMAWzified]

Wooly is still coaching. Gotta be on the list.
