Pete Thamel is the wrong end of a Horse

I agree with Mr. Torres

This tweet from Aaron Torres is spot on.

Why leave for that as well??? UH is an elite job!

Unhappy a-holes everywhere are in their parents’ basements posting crap about our coach and BB team. Everything from KS is gonna bail, to we’re overrated, to we’re about to go on double secret probation, I rather enjoy reading it. It means we’re in a good place with basketball and we’ve got a good coach. Enjoy the ride. Good things ahead. Go Coogs.

I hate to stir this pot but he did leave three programs for better programs, right?

coogrr72 · February 16, 2019, 10:36pm

Of course he did. He wasn’t 63 years old with a grandchild either

Just listening to him talk about the players coming back should mitigate some of the paranoia.

I’m just tired of the “he’ll never leave me” and equally the “it’s only a matter of time before he leaves me” mentally of the fan base. I’ve been married almost 20 years and I’ve never been 100% my wife wouldn’t leave me, nor been convinced she’ll eventually leave me. I don’t spend a lot of time on it and think it’s a sad waste of energy. Healthy relationships have neither thoughts. Let’s enjoy this season

…but Brad, you and I both know Coogfans have “the cheated girlfriend/bride syndrone”. Some of it is justified, while other is fear and speculation. Tom Herman(groom) leaves the Bride(UH Fanbase) at the alter for his dream girl(UT)…so the former bride(UH Fanbase) is engaged to new guy(Kevin Sampson) and dont want another heartbreak or standup at the alter again…(Which is the part where the fans should just not worry about it). If Sampson decides to leave, then we should be thankful it was a great ride. However, I get the feeling the guy love it here and is grooming his son to take his spot, when he do retire…but again, what do I know.

As far as ‘better’ programs, I’d like to know of one with better practice facilities, a better home for games, better student support, better crowds, better band, better looking cheerleaders, …

Hel-lo! What a walkoff homerun out of the ballpark!

Facilities will only last so long. Our band is amazing. Don’t get me started on the rest.
