Ah, but what are these "wildest expectations?" That's the fly in the ointment. And who determines what these nebulous expectations are? 

I would assume that Woody's pal Buckner has much less lofty expectations than you or I might have...

1. Actually recruit, get and keep a HS player.
2. Make it into the B1G conference tournament.

Any sightings of CMW in The Hall tonight?

You posed the best case scenario hypothetical, so what about worst case. Say we start the season something like 5-5 or get to January in 16th, 17th, or 18th place and trending towards missing the BTT. Would you be in favor of a mid season firing? Or do we just ride it out? This is the problem behind the “former player vs. current coach” debate IMO. And for the record, while personally I would still prefer to find the coach of the future, if he somehow goes to a EE or FF he’s coming back and would deserve to. I’m not even willing to entertain the idea of him winning a natty with team mercenary hahaha 

Have to give him a big, fat asterisk.

Only if they've recently installed a wine bar/cigar lounge with a putting green.

No and that's a good thing.  It would be a negative distraction and most people would assume he truly wasn't there voluntarily.  In this instance, I'm happy for his absence.

If that’s REALLY the culture around our head coach and the athletic department… why is he our head coach? SMH.

Pretty sure Race Thompson went through senior day twice.

And Colin Hartman.

So, besides Leal and Galloway, only TWO other players in 50+ years? Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test.

I would agree there seemed to be an agenda. Hartman and Race didn't have any indication coming back when they made their senior speech. As for Leal and Galloway, they literally said they were coming back during their speech. Just strange to do that.

Never in the last 50 years has a global pandemic prolonged collegiate eligibility. Luke Goode went through senior night 3 weeks ago (as a junior) with the expectation that he’s going to return. Theres a lot of things that happen in college sports today that wouldn’t make sense 50 years ago. We have college freshman who feel the need to announce they’re returning for their sophomore years.

No.  He's very busy today.

It doesn’t mean that it was without an agenda.

Is announcing on their senior night that they were returning to school for their Covid year some deep state conspiracy lol?

It is if they already knew that they were returning, which they obviously knew since they announced it.

Remember also on the Friday before - two days prior to senior day - Woodson told the media he had no idea whether either of them was doing senior day. So we’re supposed to believe that in the span of 48 hours they not only decided they were going to stay, but decided to go through with being on senior day and in their speeches allude to the fact that we “needed to chill”?

if you believe all of that, I’ve got a bridge in San Francisco I’d love to sell you . . .

Unfortunately, I like him less every day.

I believe it’s known he doesn’t support or watch the women’s team.

If you want to believe Woodson used Leal and Galloway as pawns in some elaborate “gotcha” moment to piss off the fan base at the conclusion of a shitty season, more power to you, that’s your prerogative. I think you’re giving him way too much credit.

[kottke]

Seems like someone is missing…I’m sure he’s too busy recruiting.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

It would have been an unnecessary distraction for Woody to show up.

I don’t think that is possible for me. Can’t like him less. He’s just a selfish, egotistical baby.
