Walters vs. Perrault

[VeloClone]

Hey, Durango, did you see this?

I couldn't believe it.

This all may be true but he has about 50,000 ways to back up his case for it each Saturday at JTS.

I don't think support and realism of the contract/financials should be confused with satisfaction though.

You can find several thousand posts on (most) Saturdays that contradict his point. Vehemently. And I think there's no mistaking that many of those 50,000 voiced their "happiness" at halftime of the Baylor game as well.

I'm just really tired of Miller's condescension to Cyclone fans.

Did KXNO seriously consider bringing him back? If so, they are simply killing themselves. I refuse to listen to the AM show (Mike and Mike is vastly superior anyway).

Did anyone catch Ken take yet another below the belt shot at ISU fans yesterday during his interview with Mark Moorehouse? That we're "Happy as clams" with Paul Rhoads and the state of our football program despite a 3-9 and 2-X record over the past two seasons? He was doing this to make a point of the unrest in hok-ville despite recent success.

I know many still have faith in CPR. I lean that way, but am much closer to undecided. But to suggest that overall the fan base is anywhere close to happy is simply ludicrous.

Chris and the crew put on a good show Thursday nights. Unfortunately it's followed up by that damn Dear Abby-esque show that follows. WTF?

I swear - KXNO does more to make me turn the channel, than keep it tuned.

Paul needs one more victory to beat the gene chisik record.

I'm not saying he is 100% right. I'm just saying that it is understandable with an essentially sold out stadium he would come to that conclusion.

I wonder if Perrault finds himself grimacing when he reads articles and season previews that mention Fred, what he's accomplished, and how he's one of the best young coaches in the country? I mean, Perrault fancies himself an informed guy, so surely he's keeping up on things. Do you think he's ever reconsidered his original stance? Or, when he reads the preseason AP poll, and sees ISU on there, does he think "Fred's only been lucky so far. Only a matter of time before that hire blows up in Pollard's face."?

I'd forgotten that JW actually used the word "giggle" :biglaugh:

Were people on here referring to him as Giggles before that?

I don't know. Maybe that's what started it.

Either way, was pretty funny :laugh:

I believe it was used before that, but when JW used it, it made it official.

I didn't! Awesome work T-Wolves, gotta get folks in the seats, because their basketball team isn't going to do that.

After the one kid committed to UNLV, I needed a new avatar and I hadn't seen a Vanilla Ice one before. His interview saying that he didn't rip off Under Pressure still cracks me up.

At the time of that interview 1 team in this nation would've hired Fred; now how many wouldn't trade their coach for him? Ten to fifteen-ish?

You get to have him for the rest of his career? All but about 5. KU, UK, Zona, maybe a couple more. If people are honest they will trade someone like Izzo and Coach K for the long term. I know I'm biased, but if you look at what he's done with basically 0 elite recruits, you have to be honest and make that trade. I really feel that this program is at the point where anything less than a national championship is at least a little unfulfilled. That's where we are at, IMO. It's not an expectation but competing for one isn't a surprise.

 

[CEO]

That is some fantastic stuff.

I think you have a little Kool-aid in there. Fred hasn't gotten to the final four yet. No way Duke or State trade off K or Izzo.

Completely agree, Murph and Andy is the only show worth listening to.

 

[Winks7474]

I didn't get to hear that live on the radio so I have been looking for it for a long time. Well done!

What he's saying is tat with K and Izzo, you get 5-10 years left, with Fred you get 10-20. Maybe some of those fans make that trade.

Coach K is 67. I think you'd be nuts not to do that all thing political excluded. Izzo is nearing 60. Obviously neither school can or should drop their drop their coach.

rep this man

I just wish John hadn't apologized to that tool bag.

 

[theCyBooty]

Has anyone seen anywhere where Perrault has apologized for this or admitted to being 100% wrong on this after the overwhelming success that Fred has had in first 4 years?

If so, please link.
