Great Hinson quote from ORU:
"We'll be going to the NCAA Tournament one of these days. Is it this year? I don't know. But we're going to go, and you know why? Because I'm telling you we're going. Because I see it, eat it and drink it every day."
Craving a McBride Special!
don't know whether he will quit or let himself get fired but he will return to Oklahoma to be with his daughters and grandkid. he plans to retire in Springfield though he still has some working years left.
Here is my dream scenario: SIU wins Arch Madness. Hinson immediately announces that by leading a team to the NCAA tournament that he has achieved his lifelong ambition and, as such, will retire at the end of the season. SIU wins two games in the tournament. Barry leaves with his pride intact and SIU gets a new coach next year.
This sounds perfectly reasonable... right?
Sure reasonable for a dream.
Here is my much more realistic dream. As soon as SIU loses on Thursday night Barry is fired
Ever since I read the first post of this thread about a week ago I've been fuming. This is just another classic example of the mediocrity SIU continues to wallow in and perpetuate. Instead of having a sack of balls and fire this guy we're going to cut a deal to let him go out on his terms so he can set the narrative for his great stint at SIU. How he saved SIU basketball or whatever bullshit that will come from his lips when this breaks.
I want this sad piece of shit gone as much as anyone on here but it should be on strong terms set by SIU, even if it means we have to compensate a team of lawyers to defend not paying him his termination fees....there has to be real just cause that would let us stick it to the shuckster. Integrity alone should be good enough cause, we must have an ethics & integrity policy at SIU for employees. Of course that would probably mean some other university's school of law would have to explain that to our senior leadership at SIU.....
Go Dawgs!
How many people think that if PT runs for office that the video from the rant will be featured in an opponents attack ad?

Betcha he runs as a Republican in Oklahoma in a "Christian" district or county where no Democrat would dare venture.

Good guess but incorrect.

Yea sorry he is an a ss oops I mean democrat. Or both whatever
quickest way to destroy a good fan board is to start injecting politics. most of us are here to enjoy saluki sports news. plenty other places available to piss on one party or the other. there's only on place available to talk saluki.
Was not making a political comment
I was calling Hinson an A ss
he knwo what he done
So do we think some big retirement thing is being cooked up, where Captain Barry gets to walk away from the game without being fired?
