    Repeating the troll talking points and MG putting himself on the cross. THIS is why he shouldn’t be coaching out the string.

    Announcers piling on State once again. Yawn, same —- I’ve heard forever. How about sub .500 acc play, OOC struggles and defensive rankings.

    Commentators claim we went to 2 elite 8’s under Gottfried.

    Politifact rates this statement “pants on fire”.

    Reminder that MG worked for ESPN. He’s getting the full Pravda treatment.

    Exactly, Gott worked for ESPN so they are all polishing his pole. Especially Burke….

    Warren is scouting Bonzi Colson. They will be locked up in a Rec league final in 2060 with each of them going for 35+

    Between the leadership of the UNC Grad that is running ESPN….

    The PC overdrive state that they have gotten into….

    The stupidity of some of their recent “moves” like firing a seasoned announcer for using the “term” GUERRILLA Strategy (of which there is a well known BOOK) to describe the play of one of the Williams sisters and then summarily firing him a few days later, even after it was understood that he did NOT say “Gorilla”…and he is SUING…

    The fact that ESPN is dropping subscribers at the rate of upwards of 10K PER DAY….

    The fact that it ONCE was a real money maker for Disney and NOW they are considering “spinning it off”….

    No WONDER we are hearing what we are hearing.

    I guess that MG thought that his longtime friendship with Debbie Yow would get him ANOTHER pass.

    Give me a BREAK….I hate to say this, but we ought to play up to our worst expectations just to get the talking heads to shut up….

    They are now worrying about folks clicking OFF and not watching the remainder of this game….

    We ARE on the FLAGSHIP, ESPN, today.

    STFU Doris. This team is not a few clicks behind the blues and even with UVA and Louisville. There should be jail time for verbal plagiarism.

    BotB the issue is what is good for him and the program – time to leave to the benefit of all.

    As always, the market will speak. If this was such a Herculean effort at such a “hard job” then surely Indiana and tOSU will end up in a bidding war over his services, right??

    Surely he won’t just end up calling games on ESPNU again because nobody else will hire him??

    I loved how the camera moved to crop out a grinning Anya during the pre game speech clip. LMFAO. Better than crying.

    DSJ isn’t the problem. DSJ having no rules applied to him is probably about 40-50% of the problem, or at least the most obvious manifestation of the problem.

    100% accurate. It’s obvious the game plans developed by the coaches have been to let DSJ go out and win the game. It’s really nothing new. That game plan was the same for sophomore TJ Warren, and it worked out a little better for him (likely due to the additional year of experience and playing in a much weaker ACC than this season) as he managed to bubble their way into the tourney.

    DSJ is out there trying to execute the game plan.

    Specifically praised then read from the Parrish CBS hit piece. Went on for like 5 minutes of game time.

    Typical ESPN line. I thought she was a bit better.

    I don’t disagree…

    But, when you selling Playing Time and over-hyped quick fixes instead of The Program, equally at the Team and Individual level…
    What you see is what you GOTT…

    There’s “shared management responsibility” in such a strategy and Doris really ought to be asking Dr. Debbie the tough questions, not her Fall Guy… instead of just winging hypothetical possibilities and conjecture.

    I’d start with this one…

    “Why did you choose to put your best player in a position where his chances for success were mimimal, at best??”
