Porter would be fun. We need something to inject a little hope and confidence into the program. Losing is not fun.....we already have that.

As I mentioned on the other thread, Terry Porter is 41-93 at UP. Stoudamire has done OK at Pacific. Shantay Legans at Eastern Washington (yes, another Big Sky coach) would also be one to look at. Fair enough. Seems like it's also fair to point out that UP has been a non-factor for basically forever, and his record there should be viewed with that in mind. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jumping on the TP train after one game. Honestly, I still think this whole thread is premature. Still, there is no question that the best player on the floor last night was not a Beav. I think it's pretty obvious that TP has his program headed in the right direction. They played an organized and inspired game against us last night. TP deserves some credit for that. Frankly, I'm happy to see him doing well there and hope he turn UP into a legit contender. UP has basically been a non-factor forever.... so has OSU.... Prior to Tinkle's arrival the last NCAA tournament appearance by OSU was 1990.... UP's last was 1996. Just saying the 23-24 years prior to Tinkle's OSU weren't anything to crow about either.

Somewhat of a blight of D1 basketball culture in Oregon in general. The *ucks can point to a few good years, and that's about it.

I just figured he’d be more likely to do better at OSU with maybe better athletes. But you’re right. Being a former Blazer great would only buy him...well...how long has Tinkle managed to stick around despite being a nobody?
