    So, because of Dan Sileo's thread, you called him a clown, you called him "cancer in human form" and you said he was lower than scum. And you said he "besmirched" the good name of Jerome Brown by saying that he was a harder worker and better player than Jerome Brown, and that you could verify...

    Where is the poster who was claiming this was a "done deal" two weeks ago?

    No problem. I think we just got crossed up in a bunch of replies to other people. Some of the "everything sucks at UM" crowd slammed every single sports program, and I just pointed out positive results in baseball and men's & women's basketball. I definitely want UM to dominate, but I'm not...

    So now you've gone from "besmirching" to "distasteful at best". Allow me to review...when I evaluate who I trust, who I believe, who I will allow to "call names" or to "be called names"... And I compare a person who lies about whether he is *** (in order to make *** jokes) and who calls Dan...

    Let me see if I can understand this. He makes a claim...he then says that you can ASK A LIVING PERSON to verify his claim. And the claim involves who was the harder worker/better player? Not a claim that Jerome was a lazy person or a bad player, just that Sileo was better? And, for this...

    First, I would point out that Dan Sileo frequently had the newspaper clippings (which he scanned and provided) to support any claims he made about himself. Second, I do not believe that he "besmirched" the name of any dead teammates, and I'm quite certain that isn't your real issue with Dan...

    The point is very simple, you don't even try to deny it. Dan Sileo does not pretend to be *** in order to make *** jokes, thus he already starts with more credibility than you do.

    No disagreement. But that doesn't convert us to a "mediocre" team that is "mid-pack". That is all.

    It's not that I'm disagreeing with anything that you say on a factual basis. I would like to win more tournament games. Agreed. But we also have to acknowledge that this is the best 9-year run for UM women's basketball ever. We may be "mid-pack" for NCAA tournament teams, but we are better...

    How many teams make the tournament 8 out of 9 years? Not many.

    Miami football has won 5 national championships. We have set a standard that we are now not living up to. Women's basketball was a big fat nothing when I was an undergrad (and men's basketball had just been reinstituted). Ferne Labati took us a certain distance, but never put up 8 NCAAs in 9...

    If you think that making the NCAA tournament 8 times in 9 years is a "participation trophy", you are insane. We have never had a run like that in women's basketball. We could do better in the tourneys, but to argue that 8 NCAA berths in 9 years is "mediocre" is just bullcrap.

    I'm watching an excellent backcourt that can beat teams if Sam and Keith have good nights.

    This is yet another ridiculous "hot-****e-take". We are 9-4, to finish under .500 (assuming a first-round ACC Tournament loss), we would need to go 6-11 over the remaining ACC schedule. We will win more than 6 games in the remaining schedule. We will easily beat BC, GT, Wake, and Cuse, and...

    Comments ("that he sucked at every position he had at UM") which I never made. I questioned his 2 uneventful years in fund-raising. I never said that he sucked as a ticket office guy. I asked you to provide evidence of his fund-raising, not his ticket-selling. You just keep changing the...

    So now you are trying to spin things. The fact remains, that in the last 8 years, two coaches have left this "perfect place", Oregon, for what TO THEM were dream jobs. Kelly left after 4 years to go to the NFL, his "dream job". Taggart left after 1 year to go to F$U, his stated "dream job"...
