look, if he wants us to fire currie, then we just fire currie. everything is negotiable.

This is true, but would also require our pres to be something more than a dumbfuck butt hurt AD fanboy.

Sorry, I must disagree SFA is a peer and can stand with any of those programs.

Here is another guy who would disagree with you as well.

Give us time as we continue to grow. (Only been in Division I since 1987)

- On campus ESPN Studio (All home games on ESPN3)
- Weekly Coach Radio Show
- New state of the art court floor (only one in the country of its kind)
- New center 4 sided suspended video board (Installing later this year)
- Increase in season tickets sells
- Sold out games in a 7,200 seat arena

SFA in head to head has beaten VCU, Memphis, Marshall, (blew a 20 point lead on Tulane and 18 point lead on UAB) but can hang and beat any of those programs.

No, we are not a powerhouse on the national level, but to dismiss SFA as some subpar, nobody knows your name program is laughable.

But we are doing the best we can with a commitment to being the best which BU likes.

My man, two of those schools you consider peer institutions to SFA play in two of the best arenas in all of the basketball universe, college or otherwise. The Pit is a 15,000 seat arena that has been an NCAA tourney site around 10 times including a final four. BYU's Marriott Center is the second biggest on campus arena in America. We all really Iike SFA, obviously, but when your rivals are Sam Houston State and Northwestern State and you play all of your games on an app you are low major.

How many other high major our mid major programs are small schools in small towns?

SFAXE93 · « **Reply #205 on:** March 19, 2016, 10:49:59 AM »

define small school? Are we talking campus acres or warm bodies? lol

430 acres and almost 13,000 students for the purple people while

Gonzaga has 7,400 students and 152 acres. We beat them by an entire township.

Spokane is the size of 10 Nacadowhatevers. Gonzaga has been in the tournament 18 straight seasons. They didn't get a single digit seed until their 5th appearance and the previous three appearances before they got that single digit seed they had two sweet 16's and an elite 8. SFA is not Gonzaga, and likely won't be.

If you have to argue with people about whether your team is a low major or a mid major, then you've already lost.

SFAXE93 · « **Reply #211 on:** March 19, 2016, 11:56:58 AM »

I lost? Does this mean you don't want our coach anymore?

OK_Cat · « **Reply #212 on:** March 19, 2016, 11:59:15 AM »

He's our coach, you're just borrowing him. Don't forget that, low major.

SFAXE93 · « **Reply #213 on:** March 19, 2016, 12:03:37 PM »

I guess it took the low major hiring your coach for you to see that.

The problem was our AD didn't want him at the time. I'm glad he's thrived for you guys though.

low-majors aren't ranked 25th by kenpom. mid-major in a low-major league.

Yeah, a low major absolutely has that potential. They are a low major having a mid-major season. There is no reason to believe that this is sustainable with or without Brad. The schools that SFAXE views as peer schools have shown sustainability over time and multiple coaches. SFA will never have the resources of those schools. A better comparison for SFA is a program like Valpo.

One top 25 kenpom season doth not a mid major make

michigancat · « **Reply #218 on:** March 19, 2016, 12:33:34 PM »

It's like how KSU was not a blue blood after 2010.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #219 on:** March 19, 2016, 12:37:06 PM »

I vaguely remember Oakland having a season recently with a high RPI and kenpom.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #220 on:** March 19, 2016, 12:39:19 PM »

Also viewing them as a top 25 kenpom team in this instance is disingenuous considering they spent most of the season sub 50.

When your conference has absolutely no chance for an at large bid if your regular season champ loses in your conference tournament you are a low major conference.

sys · « **Reply #222 on:** March 19, 2016, 12:43:43 PM »

4 straight years sub 100 kenpom. as long as underwood is there, they are (or will be) a mid-major. another good hire when he leaves would confirm it as well. they're supposedly paying him 800k. that's a mid-major salary, not a low-major salary.

Yep. Went to a former SLC school, now Sun Belt. Both conferences are low major. SFA and UALR are goddamn impressive and are building very good programs for themselves. They'll likely be the class of the low majors before too long, especially SFA. The Jacks were criminally underseeded this year. But UNM and Gonzaga are still a step up from the best low major program. That's not in question AT ALL.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #224 on:** March 19, 2016, 01:59:03 PM »

The important thing is that SFA is committed to being a mid-major. I wish K-State had that same commitment toward being a high-major.
