Yeah...um...so

[SNEEZ]

Whats this...3-4 games we've had 15+ pt leads and choke like a cheap trick?
I'm a Odom fan, but this is getting a little ridiculous.
I'm not one to call anyone out, but I think someone "...gots som splainin to do"

we didn't compete much at all last year. This year we are at least competing, even though we are a youg team and I understand that but geez.

If I was coaching against USC, I would do exactly what Baylor did..... Pack the zone in as tight as you can.

It takes Downey out of the game and then its over.

[ColaCock]

Or just let Carolina get up by 15-20 at the half...then you'll know you've got a guaranteed win in the bag. Just sayin...

Geeze Sneez and you even openly admit it? I love your faith but have to question your patience.

Go Cocks!

[SNEEZ]

i'm adament about faith. I have faith in Odom b/c he's gets the talent and when we play good we're great and we're young.

but its time for some new tactics b/c Dave you're in a fight for YOU HJOB and you dont' want to end up hated by lot of fans like Lou is, b/c we know some Carolina fans do that alot.

[willy]

I do not hate coach Odom, but he has to go, it is not going to get any better for us so i think it time he was gone. There are to many good coaches out there wanting a change, and we are going to sit on our duffs as usual and wait for something good to happen. Come on people GET REAL.

It's college basketball, everyone has young teams. Some teams start lots of freshman or give them heavy minutes. Our recruiting just plain sucks and the results are evident on the floor. Plenty of mid-major teams put together winning programs who consistantly make the dance, they find good talent and bring them to middle of nowhere towns, why can't a large public university with plenty of resources do the same?

i don't see how you can say that.....if it weren't for the 3 transfers cause of playing time/home sick/whatever....we'd be totally lost this season....and we're not far from it now.

Kind of the same thoughts the folks at Kentucky had last year, so the got rid of Tubby. How'd that work out for them?

I certainly see your point...but Tubby had success at Kentucky, he just wasn't able to keep replicating perfection.

at least Tubby got his team to the tourney each year....a little more than we can say for somebody.

[FinchMcCrunkNasty]

Odom is garbage and he is going to take another talented team in the tank with him. It would be a shame to see these kids no have a decent coach trying to make them better while they are here. I ran into that foreign player on the team the other weekend in 5 points and he was not saying nice things about Dave, and he said the players weren't happy with him either...I'm just sayin...

BECAUSE OUR BASKETBALL COACH WON'T GET OFF OF HIS DEAD ARSE AND RECRUIT. I wish that i had a job like that, but if i did my job like that i would not have 6 years to get it done.

Why are an Odom fan? You have admitted that he blows as a coach just as badly as that cheap trick that you described.

blind faith.

Now if we could all come to this same understanding....

I would hate to think of the position we would be in right now had it not been for Downey & Fredrick.....Especially Downey. Whats was Odoms plan had they not decided to come here?

Odom has plans?

no he has proven he's a good coach at othe schools. BUT i never said he's a bad coach the TEAM choked

[JM1984]

Odom can't recruit, when is the last time we had a big man in the middle? Ummm Tony Kitchens, and how long ago was that? How many players did we miss from this state that went elese where? How many players on the team now went elsewhere and came back home to play? How many winning seasons have we had in the SEC? Until we get a big man who can hold up the middle, we'll never have a winning season in the SEC. And we'll just shoot for an NIT bid every year, and be the best of the losers. I think Dave is toast after this year, I can see where the Athletics Department will have to get off their asses and find some money to pay a real coach. The really good coaches make about a million more than Odom does a year. You get what you pay for, and right now that ain't much.

the "About This Site" section:

If you came to this site thinking that it would be some sort of anti-Dave Odom screed by a fed-up Gamecock fan who is tired of our increasingly crappy basketball team, then you are dead wrong. I am Dave Odom. When I was hired by Carolina, the very first thing I did was buy the rights to firedaveodom.com. I've been run out of town on a rail once before, and I have no intention of getting Zooked again.

So I set up this site as a personal blog to give you common folks a different view of the man they call Dave Odom. Not everyone can be a super genius basketball coach like myself, but everyone can learn a little something from the nuggets of wisdom that I, for some reason, freely dispense on this site.

hilarious!

Somebody has way, WAY too much free time on their hands.

Also, I guess the no bashing coaches rule doesn't apply to some users.

Pretty much. Might as well join the crew.

[Singaporecock]

How about someone create a wiki site. Post a poll after every game on who wants Dave to stay vs. who wants him to go. It would be interesting to see how the numbers look as the season goes along.
