this hire is like that Eddie Murphy joke

[coolm]

Just as long as you know that when a link is shown that supports an opinion showing a player's ranking by 5 different recruiting services (which I did a few posts earlier), that is the exact opposite of "hearsay".

it's a good point.

I think it's a matter of how the ev was presented. If you say "I don't think Hollis was top 50" then I'd agree with you. If the claim was "Hollis wasn't rated top-50" then I'd still argue hearsay because you're asking me to take it at face value.

Obviously we'd get a sidebar and you could make the argument again. IMO you could argue that a foundation need be laid for all of the individual ranks. But that's what thousands of dollars are for...

I do remember that evidentiary discussion though. State tries to prove someone is an a-hole and enters a statement from witness "A" to that effect ("Gene is an a-hole").

I argue hearsay...put "A" on the seat and we'll see why it was said.

State can't so they try to contend "Everyone thinks Gene is an a-hole and here's some proof" and they attempt to re-enter the ev.

I think for a minute and ask state "Do you have a statement from MC Hammer?" State says no. I say "Then you obviously aren't going to show the statement from EVERYONE so it's just hearsay disguised..." (thank you Chris Rock).

I win.

think what you want Ben. Not sure where you see all this "seething internet hate" ... I said he's a mediocre hire with a low ceiling. Same thing in first post as last. Can't believe some of you would dog on Doc Sadler so bad and think this is some major home run - just shows how so many are truly clueless.



yeah, I am such an abandoner. Who has been on OU boards the longest around here? I can think of me + 3. The rest of you are pure newbery.

Been a member since 2009. Not new by any stretch of the imagination. Just because I don't post much doesn't mean a thing. If post count determined a persons basketball IQ I would be mentally handicapped. Glad I can say that my 16 years of competitive basketball experience on an organized level allows me to rationalize and see the X's and O's of this hire and see he is a great get for our program. We will be competitive instantly. We may not go to the tourney this year, but we won't look foolish in some games this year like we were last two seasons.

Cool, you've been a member a whole 2 months longer than I have. Should I get a cookie for you? You sound kind of pretentious.

I wasn't ragging on your board time or posts brad. I was saying that I will still be around since I have been on these OU boards since 1995...and under the same name (when able) the whole time too. It's not like I am Kawliga or GOB underneath.

That's fine. I too, have been on all these boards. Maybe not the same name, but I have been under the name coov23 on all the other boards since probably around 1998.

that's cool. someone just insinuated I wouldn't come back if LK succeeded. I want him to succeed just as much as anyone else and there's little chance of me not coming back.

Eddie doesn't agree with your assessment.

TRANSLATION: Whoops, you're right. But instead of saying that I am gonna try to save face by talking more crap.

Nope, the real translation is this:

I've wasted too much time trying to argue with a self important person who thinks that people should take his word on things because he's been a message board poster longer than the rest of us.

You are unable to provide a single shred of proof to back up your stance, so you are basically shooting sunshine and expecting people to believe because you have been a message board poster since 95.

Sorry, but you dont impress me.
