How you guys doing?....

hey illini bad person, take your condescending crap to some other board.  everyone here recognizes that weber is a shittier coach than martin.  some people choose to support him anyways, based on party loyalty and a shared group identity.  they're rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) nazis, but even they don't need your arrogant, stats-for-morons, humble elitist posts trying to educate us about basketball.  so eff off.

fear of bruceketball making Wooly look like a good coach is expressing itself as butthurt today on goEMAW.

[8manpick]

not on the weber bandwagon by any means, but remember when looking at those off eff ratings that it's the big 10. first team to break 40 wins.

7 teams in last years top 22 offensive efficiency ratings came from the big 10.

Must be typo if oscar was way shittier than Frank, AND played in a very efficient league.  Surely that cannot be correct, can it?

Unfortunately, it is, Pete.  It kinda sucks, but numbers are numbers and oscar's numbers suck.

[Cartierfor3]

all roads on the  basketball board lead to oscar vs Frank

[ben ji]

Illini fans are just mad.

Demographically/Strategically/Politcially (only major D1 institution in Illinois) . . . they are in the top 3 of college athletics underachievers, right next to their cross state butt buddies . . . MethU

oscar is gonna rape your men's basketball offense so damn hard.  Just force himself all over it in so many different ways.  Then your men's basketball offense is going to end up sitting in the shower with all its clothes on, water running just holding itself and rocking back and forth.  Might not ever be the same.  oscar'll go right on just a grinnin' and aw-shucksin' and being a multi-millionaire right in your face after it happens too.  And deep down you're going to be so righteously pissed about it, but all you'll do is just lay there and take it.  Take it any which way oscar wants to give it to you, because you can't do a damn thing about it.  "Thank you, oscar. May I have another?" says Dax.  You go on pretending like it's what you want there Daxie.  oscar'll appreciate that.  Might throw up an add in the local paper after he walks off into the sunset, like leaving a quarter on the dresser of some whore after he walks out of the room.

I appreciated this narrative

Maybe your dumb ass should study what efficiency ratings are and what they tell you.

meh. if you don't get the joke, you don't get the joke.

This is not a time for jokes.  oscar Weber is actually our basketball coach.

[sonofdaxjones]

oscar Weber is the worst kind of hire for a fantastic, highly knowledgeable, often saracastic, but extremely loyal fan such as myself.

He's done really good things, he's done really bad things . . . thus the choice I have made is to wait and see what happens. 

That said, we don't need  fans of one of college athletics greatest underachivers as determined by the  strategic/demographic/geographic formula spewing forth the same line over and over.

But, if they want to continue to do so . . . fine by me.  Peace/Love/Dope and all that.

yes, and the time for melting down was the 72 hour window after the hire.

You shouldnt support him anyways. Support your school and team, sure, but never let the coach catch a break if it's not deserved. He is paid way too much money for that. Many Illini fans did the same thing. That is why it took 9 yrs to get rid of the guy. It literally took a year of booing him (at our own place mind you) to get the point across. You guys have a couple years  before the wheels fall off and oscar gets his guys in here so at least you have something going for you lol.

jimmy, the school hired the coach.  you can't support the school either.  you have to get rid of the whole cancerous mass, otherwise it will just grow back.

personally, i support the players that weren't recruited by oscar and that means all of them, even though they probably like him a lot.

i forgive them for that and want them to win like no team has won before. i hate every player that is here because of oscar and i hope they fall flat on their face and lose thirty games after our current players are gone.

It's been a rough year for sys you guys. I wish he liked football so he could at least enjoy that.

rick, i think you have a fine philosophy in place.  it makes sense and it makes you look good.
