Mornin Mates...
Today's Topic = Operation Lipstick
While walking my dog before bedtime last night, we ran across a family of Javelina that had been feeding on some Mesquite tree pods around the neighborhood...
They were across the street from us and we left them alone as they moved into a nearby desert area in short order...
They are nasty looking and putrid smelling creatures that made me think of our current basketball program that looks and smells like a big, foul smelling pig these days...
So, enter president Crow who has tasked our AD with placing a lot of Maroon and Gold lipstick on our Bobby Hurley run BB program, once our season ends this week as a 15th seed in the Big-12 tournament...
Hence, Operation Lipstick...
Even though he deserves to be fired, in many fans opinion, Bobby is being given a reprieve since our athletic dept cannot afford to fire him and replace him with a new coach thanks to our last AD and our president, who hired him...
It is a FUBAR of the first order in my estimation...(screwed up beyond all recognition)
The folks down here in So Arizona are laughing their heads off right now as they always appreciate another mess-up by our leadership when it comes to basketball...
At least another dreadful Ray hire is being let go in our ladies BB program which is a very weak consolation prize, if you ask most Sun Devi fans like me...
And, the Cats lost to Kansas yesterday but will still go to another March Madness this year that is something we do as often as we beat an AU basketball team...
Which, of course, is about once every four to five years if we are lucky...
Greg Hansen weighed in on the subject this morning by saying that "Hurley's One Man Show Isn't Working"...
When Bobby was hired by ASU, Greg was sure that BH would elevate the Devils program to a level that could compete well against the Cats...
But, that hasn't happened according to Hansen because BH hasn't had good assistants that have stayed with the program for any length of time...
He's also a "loner" who runs a one man show that doesn't work or something to that effect...
In any event, Graham Rossini is now tasked with putting a lot of lipstick on this ugly and foul smelling men's BB pig of a program because he doesn't have enough dimes in his athletic dept piggy bank to make a change...
I'm glad I'm not in his shoes these days, that's for sure...
Operation Lipstick has apparently already commenced and we will get to watch it in full bloom in the coming days and weeks while other programs get to celebrate March Madness...
G'day Mates and Go Devils!!!
