"A lack of success in football and men's basketball -- one winning season under Dennis Erickson and one NCAA Tournament appearance under Herb Sendek -- undermined achievements in fundraising, infrastructure, marketing and Olympic sports during Love's tenure. That left a "margin of error that was pretty tight," Love said."

Gives Herb extension. Basically admits failure in that article.

I predict 4 conference wins and a 10-13 win season overall. That is, unless the new AD tells Herb to GTFO.

herb has been tweeting up a storm lately ! ! !

4/10/2012 11:49:27 AM

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think he's excited about the upcoming season.

4/10/2012 11:50:57 AM

yes ! ! !

4/10/2012 11:51:30 AM

i want to see herb succeed

4/10/2012 11:53:40 AM

Who doesn't? That doesn't mean he ever will, though.

I talked to some dude on the lunatic fringe the other day saying that he was pissed when Herb left and still is. He started talking about all these conspiracy theories about Gottfried.

4/10/2012 11:58:29 AM

Fan Forum with Herb can be listened to here:

^^So... how did he six degrees of separation Herb and Gottfried together?

4/11/2012 9:46:28 AM

I wasn't trying to pay attention to that guy. It was annoying. Don't care how far back of an alum he was. It's pretty meaningless when you're still irrational and say irrational things of learning to accept mediocrity.

Anyway, in the fan forum I posted, go to about 19 in and listen to the caller Gracie. So sad...

In fact, the whole thing is kind of unlistenable. Just a lot of back pedaling, and echoes of our concerns when he was here. Therefore, I highly recommend.

Wait, so we have two lunatic fringes to our fan base?

4/11/2012 10:16:13 AM

You don't think that mentality is a little crazy and convoluted, especially when talking about these Gottfried conspiracy theories?

4/11/2012 10:26:40 AM

I'm sorry. Can someone summarize the Gottfried conspiracy theories for me? I have no idea what you are talking about.

4/11/2012 10:35:46 AM

I tried not to pay attention, but he said something about beating/cheating on his wife and liking cheerleaders or something.

Again, wasn't trying to pay attention.

i heard he died, but it was only a rumor

5/10/2012 1:08:44 PM

That pic is ancient

5/10/2012 2:03:40 PM

yeah, his daughter is like 35 now.

5/10/2012 2:21:40 PM

for tim

11/10/2012 8:45:44 PM

for Jahii

11/10/2012 9:12:01 PM

^^when did you become premium?

11/10/2012 9:43:39 PM

49 points at the half has to be near a record for a Herb-coached team

Bachynski had 8 blocks (school record) along with his 17 points and 12 rebounds
Carson looked good in his college debut. He is insanely fast
Evan Gordon (Eric's brother) loves to shoot and when it starts dropping, he'll be dangerous
Gilling missed way too many wide open 3's
Felix played his worst game in a long time
Colvin is a great backup to Carson

5 players in double figures, can't remember the last time that happened

11/10/2012 9:45:43 PM

nevermind. he got 9 blocks

11/10/2012 11:05:42 PM

nice 15 point win over Central Arkansas

i was curious about Central Arkansas, so I checked out how they did last year

they lost a game to some school called Philander Smith, and two of Central Arkansas' 8 wins last year were over some schools named Ecclesia and Henderson State, during their dead last finish in the Southland Conference

no real point here, other than they played some teams last year I didn't know existed

11/10/2012 11:27:29 PM

but their coach is the only person to have ever won a high school national title, an AAU national title, a college national title, and an NBA championship

that's kinda cool

11/11/2012 12:01:28 AM

bronco wants to cum on herb's daughter's face.

11/11/2012 12:54:01 AM

i heard the sex is pretty slow and boring

but she is a fan of backdoor cuts

11/11/2012 1:09:27 AM

They played very fast last night. Jahii Carson is the truth and is hands down the best PG Herb has ever had

I think this might be the year that Pack Pride doesn't make a Herb thread

so far, so good

"The question is, if we had beaten Oklahoma State the other night - would this thread have ever been initiated?"

good question. in fact, there have been a few new threads started by State fans over at Sparky's Roundball since we lost to Oklahoma State (zero prior to the loss)

11/20/2012 6:57:48 PM

ugly win, but 3-0 for the first time since '09

21 for Carson
7 more blocks for Bachynski (22 through 3 games...leads the nation in blocks per game)

11/20/2012 11:06:59 PM

Thank you for keeping this thread going.

11/20/2012 11:12:08 PM

it's my guilty pleasure

11/20/2012 11:16:50 PM

good win over a talented Arkansas team. also, here's a little feel for how laughable the ASU bball program has been:

Quote :

"On Saturday, ASU will play the winner of late Friday's game between Wisconsin and No. 15 Creighton in the tournament final, while Arkansas will face the loser of that game for third place. The win gave ASU only its fourth 4-0 start in 26 seasons."

11/23/2012 10:44:16 PM

tough loss to #14 Creighton

yes, Doug McDermott is a stud, in case you were about to ask

11/25/2012 1:18:01 AM

guesses on tonight's attendance? I say 900

11/28/2012 6:54:36 PM

ugly win, but improved to 5-1

Felix with 21, Gilling with 13

Bachynski got 6 more blocks to increase his NCAA-leading bpg average

11/28/2012 9:54:12 PM

die in a fire

11/28/2012 9:56:36 PM

thanks for breaking up my streak

11/28/2012 9:57:15 PM

Met a guy that has been going to Arizona State for about a year.

"Oh, Herb Sendek!"

"Who?"

11/29/2012 7:25:20 AM

doesn't surprise me. they only averaged about 500 students/game last year

11/29/2012 7:31:01 AM

6-1

20 point win over completely outmatched Sacramento State

12/1/2012 10:34:12 PM

Who are they playing in the challenge?

12/1/2012 10:45:11 PM

their next challenging game is probably CSU-Northridge. that's the only OOC team in the RPI top-100 remaining

12/1/2012 10:54:47 PM

I was thinking they were still doing the Pac-10/Big 12 hardwood challenge thing, I guess that ended though.

12/1/2012 11:35:07 PM

yep, they discontinued it in '11
