    The worst part about having a four year old who likes sports is having to turn SportsCenter back on after a decade of ignoring it.

    I want to fucking murder that Neil Everett faggot.

    Seriously, Neil Everett is like a real life version of Phil Dunphy. Who I know you all like but I can't fucking stand. No you're not funny. You're not cool. And no one is laughing with you.

    While dumb, I still at least understand what they are doing - more idiots getting their tweets read on-air, means more idiots tweeting at them, which means more online ad dollars and internet traffic.

    The shit that pisses me off is reading random stars from other sports tweets about random events. Like, "And Steph Curry went for 21 points in the fourth quarter to pull it out last night - let's see what the stars said! Rory McElroy tweeted 'Wow what a finish!' and Antonio Brown tweeted 'Dat boi good!' - social media was on fire!"

    The article was written on the premise that Jones, Baldwin IV and Kornett would be back. If true, Vandy could be very good next year. Only Jones has made any comment regarding leaving at this point. So, this isnt nearly as bad as you are making it out to be.

    i think any time you write a headline implying a team that just got blown out in the play in game will be poised to make the Final Four the following year is pretty stupid clickbait. :twocents:

    Oh, I hope youre right. I've wanted Stallings gone for years now. I was just explaining how, while the title was clickbait, the whole article was written about recruiting guys to come back.

    Yeah I didn't really read the article

    And I feel you on wanting Stallings gone. He continues to do less with more than almost any coach in the conference. It's very risky letting a tenured coach like that go though

    I agree on all points. I am fully aware that David Williams will probably fuck up the replacement hire. But, I just hate Stallings so much at this point. 2nd Round exit with Jenkins, Festus and Jeff Taylor. Lose the play-in game with Jones, Baldwin IV and Kornett. Not to mention hes just a general dick and students and players dislike him.
