Boywinkle may be a better coach but this is still not a very good team. Nevill is soft and they simply lack talent. Maybe in a few years.

Still Not Good...All I can say is that I am glad you don't have a job evaluating talent. "Simply lack talent"? That's a good one Cosmo!!

Your a knob. Just because someone thinks we have a better coach but still lack enough players with talent to rise to a level of greatness doesn't mean they are 'a boy in blue'. I, on the other hand, do have my eyes open and have actually watched many games both home and away and Boylan would likely agree if he is honest. These are not his players. HIS teams will be tough to beat when he can play both ends of the court his way.

You may be correct but its going to be fun to watch.

Can we at least spell Boylen's name correctly? I think he's earned that; and it's true that once his players are in the program, we'll be scary. That said, I think he'll have the players we have right now ready to compete in the conference. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see us in the top three of the conference once all is said and done (seriously, did you see us play against Cal? They're not a bad team...)

wii think runnin' ute jerseys are goofy.

Yes, you should spell Boylen correctly, because a coach by the name of Jim Boylan is now the interim coach for the Chicago Bulls, that news probably scared a few people.

It is definately an improvement. Last year was a flat out embarassmet. Things with this team will only get better with time. Once his team and his recruits are in place they will be tought.

I never did like Giacolletti. Why would you hire a coach from an average ewu team? Mistake is rectified our rivals are a worthy opponent again.
