Sick of OLLIE Bashing

[UConnNick]

Be honest, you named him after the team manager in Hoosiers...

Let's be fair now...that kid was a manager/player. He hit the two Wilt Chamberlain/Rick Barry-esque underhanded free throws to send his team to the Indiana state championship game.

You can always take the Laurel and Hardy angle.

Yes, but wouldn't that require him to get another cat and name it Laurel?

Bump. You were saying....

- 3 transfers
- top recruit decommit
- asst head coach fired
- strength coach fired

Ho hum, nothing to see here.

nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to 'bash' Ollie about. he's got this program riiiight where he wants it.

can't wait until we go 16-12 and they call it a success as a rebuilding year.

"Guys didn't quit. Playing for the name on the front of the jersey. Fighting because all 8 of us love each other and the brotherhood. We fighting to get back to the top and this is step towards our path. It's the journey, not the result"

Everyone fails to see the good news today. Ollie to the NBA is dead and if he chooses to go........

Yeah, near the bottom of the AAC.

More likely Stan but I'm good with either. You know what they say "don't throw the cat out with the player, another player, prized recruit, asst. coach, S & C coach and the bath water"

 

[walkrightier]

I give Ollie another two years to show substantial progress. But we should remember that his hypothetical replacement would have one hell of a rebuilding job on his hands

Damn, I forgot to add "and another player" to the old saying. Usually Old sayings don't change very much but I'm guessing this one will very soon.
