    This ad has annoyed me for two years.

    If “Martin” was so brilliant, why did he keep his truck out in a hailstorm?

    That’s probably why he didn’t invite his neighbor over for his cookout. Dude probably asked why a guy who screams “bootstraps!” kept his baby out in the hail.

    USC been playing with its food since the 10 minute mark and it still won’t matter.

    Stay Tuned as exmediahack trolls Dana Altman and is explained why he's loved ... by his fellow coaches.

    (And seriously ... condolences to all Duck fans and followers.)

    I have no issue with Altman. Seven conference titles. Final Four. Doing this at K-State, Creighton and Oregon.

    His teams are, routinely, a tough out in March.

    If you look through the FBI photos of the rioters at the Capitol I bet you will find Martin.

    Looking forward to hearing how this tourney "has no buzz" because all of the teams left are almost always playing when most people are asleep - and I'd love an almost all West Coast Final Four.

    19 years, no title, no kids making headlines about pussies and lobsters, no scandals. I think you underestimate how good he looks in Tallahassee which doesn't measure basketball the same way it measures football. The football program has been a dumpster fire for a, what a decade?

    Took Wooden 16 years to win a title at UCLA.

    Maybe Florida State wins one next year and it starts an amazing 10-year run.

    Hamilton is 399-228 at FSU so his teams win 63 out of every 100 games.

    Are they really going to get someone who's better? And does it matter?

    I didn’t watch much FSU basketball, but they looked like a team you’d never want to fall behind with its length, but a team that would be in big trouble if it fell behind.

    You can acknowledge that someone is operating at a Hall of Very Good level and that their school is darn lucky to have them and that we underrate Very Good in general and still be clear-eyed that there’s another level past Very Good that they haven’t reached yet and might not ever get to.

    And again, bigger picture, if that matter anymore.

    Hamilton’s student-athlete graduation rate of just over 95 percent at FSU will improve even more as eight members of his current team will earn degrees (seven as undergraduate degrees and one as a graduate degree) this spring. Two more players will earn graduate degrees in the summer of 2021.

    FSU officially announces Leonard Hamilton's 5-year extension.

    Not so much meant for you ...

    ... but god forbid Tallahassee doesn't win a national title in basketball rings or even make it to the Final 4!

    Are they Duke? No. Would be cool to see them finally make it to Duke level, for a few years, but it's also hard to complain with Hamilton's Hall of Very Good.
