Not sure if serious? Tennessee finished 8th in the country in basketball attendance in 2012-13. Imagine what they could do if they weren't a football school.
Also, since 2000:
NCAA Tournament appearances:
Tenn 9
Minn 4
Sweet Sixteens
Tenn 5
Minn 0
Elite Eights
Tenn 1
Minn 0
Conf Championships
Tenn 2
Minn 0
So, yeah, the recent history is virtually identical. Tennessee doesn't have a vacated Final 4 from 17 years ago to be proud of, but they still somehow manage to draw 16 k fans per game and get to the Tournament consistently despite being a football school.
Tennessee has agreed to terms with Donnie Tyndall of Southern Miss. Such an epic, great job with a rich history and that's the best they could do. Hmm...

Pitino was the fall back right Sid?
The entire point of this forum is to argue complete non-issues. We're not solving world hunger. By your (terrible) logic, everyone should just stop posting and the site should shut down.

I've had what seems like 100s of posts deleted and some how DP has 10,500 that have stuck....
There has definitely been times when he's been factually incorrect. For a guy who does so much correcting it's pretty hilarious how poorly he takes being corrected himself.what you don't realize is he's posted 20,000 times.Too easy just sittin' there. Couldn't resist.
Truth is: If dpo wasn't here this site would be far less interesting to me. I might disagree with him on occasion about opinions but I'm not sure he's ever wrong on facts. He makes things interesting and he often makes you think. What's to complain about?

Ya, I get that, they didn't delete 10,500 was the point.what you don't realize is he's posted 20,000 times.Too easy just sittin' there. Couldn't resist.

Man, were we lucky to get Pitino. I can't imagine hiring someone like Tyndall now that we've had Richard for a year. We gotta do everything we can to hold on to him.

Clap ya hands!
You should have resisted

They don't lower your post total when they delete a post. I've had hundreds of posts deleted as well, mostly on the basketball board. People don't like hearing the truth, especially when it's their ox being gored.

False.
This made me chuckle. It's like my wife not admitting to being stubborn.
Thanks Bleed! This has been what I have been saying all along. The market will determine what he is worth. The fact is, he is a "hot commodity", like it or not. A pay raise, or "bump" is in order.MN Daily: Column: Pitino should listen to all job offers, ya feel me?
Tennessee and Mizzou aren’t exactly elite jobs, but there are still some perks to coaching in the SEC. It’s less competitive from top to bottom, meaning a good coach could make a mark on the conference rather quickly.
Now, I’m not saying Pitino should bolt for greener pastures, but listening to other job offers would force Teague’s hand and maybe encourage him to open up the wallet a little bit more.
The University just gave Jerry Kill a pay raise, suggesting there are available funds for Pitino as well.
If Pitino sticks around, Minnesota could become a more desirable job.
Teague and his subordinates need to do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.
Ya feel me?

Go Gophers!!
I don't react poorly to being corrected. So why would I admit to it? I don't lie, unlike certain posters here.

Okay I feel old - what is with the "ya feel me" crap?
It's a really dumb shtick that the Daily does. I'm not sure why anyone would read the Daily, particularly the sports section.
But the fact that you react to it so quickly
immediately bring up other posters (deflection) is basically your persona on this site in a nutshell
If you admit your mistakes you gain credibility.
If you're "never wrong" then people have a hard time seeing that you're "ever right."
