ESPN Prestige Rankings from 2008
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3501739
There are two possibilities to what I hear on this board.
1. People have short memories, Or
2. Two years of bad basketball erase the previous good ones.
I THINK #1 IS PROBABLY THE ANSWER!!
15. ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS, SEC
Positives: 4 30-win seasons; 17 NCAA berths; 2 No. 1 seeds; 3 Final Fours; 1994 national championship
Negatives: 3 losing seasons; 0 first team All-Americans
Total points: 204
Did you know? The Razorbacks found success in the Southwest Conference and continued that tradition when Arkansas moved to the bigger SEC in 1991. New coach John Pelphrey seems to have the proud program back on the upswing. This is the highest-ranked school that hasn't had any first team All-Americans since 1985. The Razorbacks come in second among the three schools tied at 204 points because of a .660 combined winning percentage since 1984-85.
14. MEMPHIS TIGERS, Conference USA
Positives: 12 conference titles (7 regular-season; 5 tourney); 4 30-win seasons; 20 postseasons (13 NCAA, 7 NIT); 2 No. 1 seeds; 5 Elite Eights; 8 All-Americans; 5 NBA top-10 picks
Negatives: 3 losing seasons; 0 national championships; lost to 12th-seeded DePaul in 1989, lost to 12th-seeded Drexel in 1996; 1 NCAA sanction
Total points: 204
Did you know? The Tigers have won at least 30 games for the past three seasons, and that recent run of dominance helped them leapfrog some of their rivals. With the butter-soft C-USA providing little resistance lately, Memphis is a program with a high ceiling in our rankings. The Tigers come in first among the three schools tied with 204 points because of the best combined winning percentage (.686) since 1984-85.
13. INDIANA HOOSIERS, Big Ten
Positives: 5 regular-season conference titles; 17 20-win seasons; 2 30-win seasons; 21 NCAA berths, the fifth-most of any team since 1984-85; 2 No. 1 seeds; 3 Final Fours; 1987 national championship; 13 All-Americans; 2 NBA top-10 picks
Negatives: 1 losing season; lost to 14th-seeded Cleveland State in 1986, lost to 13th-seeded Richmond in 1988, lost to 13th-seeded Kent State in 2001
Total points: 214
Did you know? The Hoosiers definitely would be higher on this list if we went back further. They did win it all in 1987 and made three Final Fours, but just one of those Final Fours took place in the past 16 years. Other than IU's surprise title game appearance in 2002, the Mike Davis era was mostly disappointing, including two seasons of missing the NCAA tournament.
12. OKLAHOMA SOONERS, Big 12
Positives: 10 conference titles (4 regular-season, 6 tourney); 20 20-win seasons; 4 30-win seasons; 19 NCAA berths; 5 No. 1 seeds, the fifth-most since 1984-85; 2 Final Fours; 6 All-Americans; win over No. 4-seeded Arizona in 1999; 0 losing seasons
Negatives: lost to 13th-seeded Louisiana-Lafayette in 1992, lost to 13th-seeded Manhattan in 1995, lost to 13th-seeded Indiana State in 2001
Total points: 221
Did you know? Despite not having a national title banner hanging from their rafters, the Sooners are ranked this high thanks to consistency. They never had a losing season in the past 24 years, and they won at least 20 games 20 times. Reasonable NCAA tournament success (five No. 1 seeds, two Final Fours and a title game appearance) puts OU in the top dozen.

Doug actually mentioned Kruger as a possibility for the OU job, but said he wasn't buying it.
He also said the coach at LSU, Trent ??? who was at Stanford, would crawl to Salt Lake City to get the Utah job.
Underrated post, IMO.

We didn"t ?Capel was 79-41 as a D-1 coach before taking the OU job.If by experienced you mean older,than yeah because he was only 31 at the time. Don't know too many 31 year olds with 79 D-1 wins.

:ez-roll::ez-roll::ez-roll:
I'll steer clear of your first thought, but I can vouch for BOB on the other one. He's no 10 year old. He's a man. He's 40.
I'm actually alright with BOB disagreeing with me, but the incessant negativity gets me a little which is the main reason (that, and he asked me to) I put him on my ignore list before Capel was fired. The other day, he just jumped the gun in replying to me and then wouldn't let it go and just say, "oh, I misinterpreted what you were implying...", thus I just replied in kind...
Don't blame you for relegating BOB to your ignore list, but I gotta admit that I enjoy many of his posts, even if I seldom agree with him. He's probably forgotten more about Sooner basketball than I can ever remember, so I must give him his props.

You gotta be kidding me!
That dude just looks clueless to me...
I think he holds the patent on recruiting 6'10 goofy looking post players that are soft and shoot 3's...

Based on what he did at Notre Dame he was a great candidate for prision.
