The team won't be very good at first, that's obvious. But if they can start competing against the rest of the Southland in three or four years, the initial excitement can keep the program running until that time. I'm excited, and I want my season tickets too!

I hate it when reporters ask that question right after a loss. I know they have to, but I thought Roy Williams said it best when Bonnie Bernstein asked him after the NC game loss to Syarcuse if he was leaving to go to UNc. "Right now i gotta go talk to 13 guys that just lost the National Championship game. I don't give a s*@# about North Carolina right now." Best line in a post game interview I have ever heard!

ESPN has Tom Crean of Marquette as the early favorite for the UK job. Maybe the ags can breathe a little easier if that's the case.

If you look at the teams that aTm has struggled against, they tend to really work the ball and drive. Look for Memphis, who is super athletic to do this and get ahead late. But if the game is within two or three in the last seconds, Acie LAw will make a big shot. But in the end, I think Memphis just has too many weapons.

What does this mean for aTm hoops? If UK comes calling, does Billy Gillespie answer? Kentucky is one of those jobs that you have to look at. They are right up there with Indiana, Kansas. Duke, North Carolina and UCLA. The brass at A&M beetter open up the coffers in the offseason.

Oh no - man I was looking forward to him being there next year when they would be a year more experienced. Maybe he won't hire an agent and can come back.
