Oh wow...I was moved

You have no idea what I'm talking about.  Sometimes I think you just play dumb on purpose.  

As it pertains to Lebo, I said repeatedly (and you can look it upNo...you provide us the links bitch.) that it only takes a good coach one season, two tops to show marked improvement.  You know what you have at the end of two and if it's not dramatically improved it's likely not gonna be.  

That's ALL I ever said.  Gradual improvement my ass.  Turn it around in two or you're not going to. Used Bruce Pearl as a classic example on a couple of occasions.  

I said you only needed one good player and a decent supporting cast to turn a program from nothing to respectable. Said it fifteen dozen times probably.

You -- and others -- laid excuse after excuse after excuse and tried to explain that I was just being negative, that he needed more time, blah-de-blow-de-frickin-blee.   Y'all were wrong.  Big surprise there.

So the Rider says EXACTLY what I've said for four long years -- that he should be markedly improved by year two "No Excuses"  and that it only takes one player to dramatically change the dynamic.  Yep. That's pretty much been my basketball matra verbatim for a fifth of a score.

After reading through this whole thread, I only got a few things out of it all but the main thing is, wow I have only seen post made by Kaos and other aliases that he was truly happy. One was the snow day last year that he made a trek to Auburn for and this, the new Auburn B-Ball coach. I do agree in part about what Kaos is saying. Barbee is something to be excited for sure. The guy has the pedigree. On the other hand, Kaos, the lack of "personality" and the use of the cliche from Chizik has to do in part of his military upbringing. You can downplay that all you want but this does play a major part in the personality of a man. Now, I am one to believe that this personality is one that he uses for those that is not in his inner-circle. The recruits, recruits parents, and the current players love this guy. This is what truly matters. In the end, if Auburn is either winning or showing signs of progress then the fans and media will be behind him.
