OT: Hypocrisy in politics

Trump also uniquely put lots of pressure on the feds to not raise interest rates while he was president so the economy looked better than it was, along with cutting taxes while not cutting spending, and it was kinda like injecting the economy with methamphetamine.

Then COVID happened out of nowhere and the need to increase spending/printing money to keep things going resulted in shit hitting the fan and spiraled out of control, exposed a ton of fragility in markets/economy (kinda like a weakened immune system from prior meth use) and we are still dealing with the consequences that are still playing out.

Making excuses for Bide and Kamala? Ask any small business owner what they think and it will be a completely different story from what you think.

There weren’t “needs” to spend and spend and spend and spend … they didn’t have to do it. But they did it and we will pay for decades.

This difference is that the economy was far better off under President Trump. We have seen medical cost soar, car insurance rates soar (my rate has more than doubled), housing cost soar, gas cost soar, food cost soar, illegals entering the country soar, homeless on the streets soar, etc..... All that matters to me is what he does for this country and myself, and it really doesn't matter what his personality is in regards to the bottom line of doing the job. With a bigot and racist like Kamala, I think we will be in for a rough ride that will take this counter into a much deeper hole which could cause us to enter another major recession.

I guess I should have said that Kruger either needs to make the NCAA tournament this next season, or he should be gone.

100%….That was supposed to be the ultimatum for last year (season 3). Then the first game of the season was a terrible quad 4 loss and it was all she wrote for an at large. Let’s not even speak about AF.

We’re just wasting time at this point.

Well, I think it should be an at large … not a 6th place finish and winning the MWCT to get the bid. Earn it over the course of the season with quality play, not over 3 days where luck plays an important part. I want to get there, beggars can’t be choosers, but want to earn it. Four years in, sorry, but you need to earn your keep.

If he keeps improving with one more win per year, it could take another 2-3 years, and that is not good enough. If he wins the MWC and gets in, that would probably get Kruger a pass, but I agree that they need to get to the NCAA by winning all year long not getting lucky at the end.

Biden is clueless, Trump incessantly blabs and goes on tangents …. Kamala is a low IQ cackle queen who is doing to the same thing as Biden did last time, hiding underground. Now the VP is doing the same thing. Scared to debate. When these people open their mouths, they lose ground. Trump included. It’s a gross circus.

But at least Trump and his VP are willing to actually debate. Other side just hides. I think it would be a glorious explosion of idiocy when it happens though.

Jailen Bedford averaged 14ppg for Oral Roberts so he should be a solid starter alongside Dedan. I can see Jaden Henley starting also. He averaged 8ppg as a sophomore in the Big East so going to the MWC should give him another couple buckets per game. Whaley should be good for 14-15ppg for us. Dedan could be averaging 18 a game. I worry a bit about our bench. I think Hill and Hicks will be solid for us but we have to have another guy really step up. I don't think we'll be a disaster but I also don't expect anything out of the norm from the past few years. Probably a finish anywhere from 4th-7th.

Considering UNLV finished in fourth one game out of third last season, finishing 4th-7th this next season should include walking papers for Kruger. If they can't finish at least 3rd or better in his fourth season as the head coach, then he most likely has already hit his plateau as head coach.

I’m upset that we don’t recruit at a higher level. And we don’t schedule at a higher level. I do believe we have an average head coach. That being said, I believe we will be better than most people think. Maybe even over achieving a bit. However, if we don’t have a really big, exciting year, I believe we need a coaching change. Kevin is making this much harder than it needs to be. We should be very good EVERY year. Being happy about the NIT last year aint gonna cut it…
