i see melvin watkins finally decided to save face and resigned instead of
being fired. he is a good coach at a very bad school with no support from
the administration and student body. oh well.

glad espn2 will show the national audience how bad this aggie basketball
team really is en route to 0-17 in conference play.

It would be funny if by some miracle they won the Big 12 tourney.
I heard Penders is rumored to be interested in the job. Hmm... Running
Aggies I guess!

Are you saying that the administration and the student body made
this team forget how to play defense?

That the administration and the student body gave them offensive
plays straight out of the Guy Lewis "roll out the ball and let
'em play" handbook?

Just curious.

I want to be fair to the guy, but the fact is, he didn't get his stuff
done. I think that he deserved more time, but don't blame their
losing on the admin and student body (ok, the milkmen may have scared
off some recruits, but still...). Fact is, he didn't get it done.

Dude. A bovine saying that seven years is not enough for a coach
to turn a program around... that's fkn hilarious.

And what exactly should we expect Watkins to do with this extra time? The guy
went 21-75 in Big 12 play.
