Great job MSU 24! That info helped a lot and cleared up a lot of question marks, although a few remain now regarding the eligibility of Sain and the scholarship picture. Good to hear Coach mention Les Simmons so now we know he will be back, and I think he can help the team, may even be the most important "newcomer" to next year's team which may surprise some people but I just think he has ability. But a lot depends on his health on wether or not he can contribute. Sounds like Proffit has impressed Coach T since he hinted that he should get a lot of playing time. Also great to hear him come out and flatly say that he will be in Morehead for the foreseeable future and I like how he siad he plans to build an "elite" mid major program like a S. Illinois or Butler. In order to make that happen MSU needs to be supported like those schools which have followings that rival major conference teams so that means we the fans have got to get behind this team to make this dream a reality.

MSU 24, please thank Coach T from us for providing this insight and for taking time to share with us.

I'm now sitting here trying to picture what such an interview would have been like if Macy were still here!

Why are you so opposed to a third money game MG? I dont think it's the best solution either but it would be much better than a 3rd non D1 game in my opinion. Especially next year when if we play the right team we have a decent shot to win. My preferance for the 4 remaining games would be 1 non- D1, only because I'm sure we'll always have at least 1, 1 more money game against a lower tier team (DePaul, Northwestern, South Florida, Rutgers, etc) and 2 home and home series which start next year on the road. But I wouldn't even be opposed to playing all 4 on the road if it meant we could scrap the non D-1's completely which I'm sure wont happen and take either a 3rd home and home type game or a third money game against say a higher end MVC or A-10 team, since next years home schedule is already good and adding 1 or 2 non D-1 games to what it is already wont enhance it at all in my eyes.

Now if there is already for sure going to be 2 non D1 games and there is no way that is going to change then yeah the 3rd money game would be tough because it only leaves for one home and home series to start which puts us in a bind the next year.

Why are the games with Fullerton and Weber non exempt? If that is so maybe the other money game or games could be an exempt tournament so we could get our other money game and another game probably against a fellow mid major which would not count against the limit.

Thank you for your kind statements MG, I always look forward to hearing what you have to say as well. You seem to have some very good information which I just dont hear about very often.

I think starting 2 home and home series on the road is the best way to go as well. As for the other 2 games you know for sure that at least 1 will be a money game. That leaves 1 game left and the best thing would be to start another home and home (either home or away) but you are probably correct that there will be another non D1 game. I just wish it wasn't the case but I know it will be. I would even prefer the 3rd money game option to that.

The question now is who will be the other money game(s) and the home and home series games. I dont care who the non D1's are but probably one will be a state team such as KCU or Thomas More.

BB,
WKU's coach took some cheap shots at Coach T over a recruit who had verballed to Western then changed his mind to MSU then changed back. I'd love to get them here for a game and kick his teeth in but I dont see that happening after his comments.

On a side note about this, I take it the rumors of MSU being in some kind of trouble have died down and pretty much been dismissed as falsehoods. Is this correct? A buddy of mine told me he keeps hearing about it and that we are indeed being investigated but I told him I thought it was all hogwash.

Morehead Guy, since you are in that area what was your take on all that mess and did you hear anything about those rumors?

Not sure of the exact quote but it went something like, unfortunately there are not a lot of morals in recruiting these days. He was discussing the recruit they had just signed and how he had been flip flopping between Morehead and WKU, pretty much accusing Tyndall of wrongdoing. I wouldn't be surprised if a WKU fan is the one who started this nonsense about Coach T to begin with.

As for the over-recruiting I think you have to take the best players you can get, especially at an OVC-type school. It's important to take every opportunity to improve the team when that opportunity may not come again. I think though that you have to make sure the players you are bringing in are better than what you have, if not then I dont see the point in it.

I dont think there is any comparison between Calipari and Tyndall. I have no idea if Calipari is clean or not but he just gives the impression that he is shady.
