Yeah, I heard about that one before. Can't see Pearl going to Kansas, though.muskieman wrote:Man if you are going to make up rumors make it a good one.

Would that be Florence, Italy!BigCat wrote:wkrq59 wrote: OK, a sports reporter on the St. Paul Pioneer-Press wrote a story saying Sean Miller was in Minneapolis (actually Bloomington, Minn.where U of M is ) anquote]
Sorry, U of M is not anywhere near Bloomington. It would be like saying XU is in Florence.
a bit off the X subject, but reading about MINNESOTA BASKETBALL reminded me of something i found interesting, FYI. 1948 JOHN WOODEN applied for head coach U. of MINNESOTA and....a school called UCLA. his beloved wife wanted to stay in the midwest. MINNESOTA wanted to hire Wooden but a winter snowstorm prevented UM from notifying him. Meanwhile, he accepts the west coast job and the rest is UCLA history..you can look it up!!!wkrq59 wrote:Please remember the spring of 2007. Please.
Sean was reportedly the top candidate for the Michigan job. He was never contacted, never interviewed and never offered the job. Bobinski was also not contacted.
OK, so the Minnesota job came open. Again, Sean rumored to be (this time) at the top of the list for the Gophers. This time, though things got really serious, because I don't believe Kenny Frease had committed. Even if he had, he could not sign until November.
OK, a sports reporter on the St. Paul Pioneer-Press wrote a story saying Sean Miller was in Minneapolis (actually Bloomington, Minn.where U of M is ) and a press conference would be held that day introducing him as their new head coach.
The story was written on orders from the sports editor of the St. PP who used to work here in Cincinnati, hates Xavier and all Catholics with a passion. That day went by and the next day Tubby Smith was named Gophers' coach. The St.PP was beaten on the story by a former Post reporter who told me the whole damn story. Again, Sean was never contacted, nor was Bobinski and nothing was even done back channels.
This year everyone is well aware of the Indiana debacle and following that the Marquette fun fest. By now the story of Sean sitting in Bobinski's office laughing like crazy when a reporter from the Milwaukee paper called Bobinski's office and asked for a comment on Xavier losing its coach because Sean was allegedly in Milwaukee and would be named the next day and on and on and on.
Sean has said he'll be staying at Xavier for years to come. I 'm not sure but my instincts which are still pretty good, tell me these RUMORS are being started by someone who is still displeased that Sean is the Xavier coach and he was not vetted extensively nor was there a national search conducted.
We always had a rule--WE DON'T PRINT RUMORS. Too much can go wrong when you do that. Relax. Sean's going nowhere but recruiting for the 09-10, and 10-11 and 11-12 seasons. He already has the makings of a potentially great team. Stay tuned.

I thought that was Rickey Henderson.passthepuck? wrote:No Muskieman - Florence Henderson
