I'm going to start underperforming on my job tomorrow and do so until about December. Then, I'm going to start living up to expectations and doing a good job through next March.

Hopefully people will then write articles about how great I am and my boss will consider giving me a raise. Also, I expect all those who were critical of my underachieving to write sappy notes full of b.s. about how sorry they were for disrespecting me.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

For some reason I don't think it works that way unless you have a following or flock of some sort.

Lots of luck with that approach because all that will do is get you fired and lots of unpleasant one on one sessions with your boss in the process.

Bet would be over/under 90 days.

Lol...whatever dude.

You accuse others of 'changing topics', while you do nothing but bob and weave when you know you're wrong.

You signed the petition, along with 36k others and you know it. You also called for CCM to be fired, just like most others. Who gives a f what the name of the petition was.

Typical BTO b.s.

Im not sure which would be worse, going through life being wrong about 99% of what I say. Or actually believing the $hit that comes out of my own mouth.

Maybe you can inform me.

Like I said...typical BTO b.s.

When you know you can't answer the question, because it will make you seem hypocritical, then change the subject as fast as possible.

You were a petition signer and you know it...and you called for CCM to be fired. Change the subject all you want, but those are facts.

It's a fact, yet you have no way of proving it?

"Yes, your Honor, he did sign a contract saying he would redo my roof. That's a fact. What? Do I have the contract with his signature? No, but it is a fact."

First off....I've never once called for CCM to be fired, that's the biggest crock of $hit I've ever heard.

Second, I'm sorry that you like to put words in people's mouths and say they did something they didn't. I did not sign a petition that stated CCM should be fired, I'm sorry this upsets you, but I didn't.

I think Cuonzo is a good coach, but this Sweet 16 run is mostly because of the players. If we missed 1 more free throw or Barton didn't make that clutch three against Iowa, Martin is probably fired.

This may be the dumbest line of reasoning I've seen. If A&M didn't have a kid who never shoots hit clutch 3 pointers in each game, U.T. would have won, and Martin is probably never threatened with firing.

If they win, it's the players, if they lose it's the coach. Makes sense.

I never said it's Cuonzo's fault if they lose. Those are on the players too. I was just pointing out that the Iowa game went to overtime and could have gone either way. Whether or not we made shots towards the end was out of Cuonzos control. the outcome of that game decided whether he was fired or everyone loves him

Explain your post in the following link, BTO, where you declare that you have signed the petition:

Guess you were "drunk" when you signed it? Or maybe you signed it "tongue in cheek?"

Or this one, where you agree with the op's assessment that CCM needs to be fired:

Bto signed it and abuses those who did. End of story. He went further than most and started discussing coaching replacements he preferred. La tech coach is the one he was bringing up, or Howland. Even said he would be happy with Pearl.

Why lie about it. Admit and move on, or at least get off other people's asses about it, when you sign it before 10-15k other people did.

Exactly.

I honestly don't give a rats a$$ who signed it, but to sign it and then get on here and be critical of the very fanbase that he agreed with 2 months ago is hypocritical, IMO.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

I said if a move is made, these are guys I would like to see considered. You really don't
see the difference between that and saying "Cuonzo Martin should be fired immediately"?

bto, with your semantics, nobody signed a petition to fire Martin. You pretending like you didn't sign it and didn't agree with zjc that he wasn't the man is really ridiculous man, especially the verbal abuse you give 100's of others. It's flat out lying with the proof here for all to see. Who do you think you are fooling?

I'm over it. Been over it. But as long as you deny it all and act like you were with CM the whole way and abuse others for being pissed that we sucked, it's going to be pointed out that you are flat out lying, and the proof is in your own posts.

here we go again. I never said you said "cuonzo should be fired immediately"
Done again early with you today. From now on, when you can't stick with what was posted, I'm not playing your childish games where you just add whatever you want to add, whether accurate or not.

I thought you were a loyal Cuonzo fan BTO. Those quotes are pretty good evidence to the contrary :sad:

and that's really a simple answer as to some of the frustrations with all this stuff when posters are trying to have discussions. The verbal abuse he gives others while using sarcasm or being drunk as a defense of his posts is internet comedy.

You can pretend to be psychic, I've admitted I was wrong about many other things on this board, no reason to lie about it.

I signed a petition, as I stated in that thread, that supported Pearl's rehire if a move was made. Whether that was Martin taking another job, Martin being fired, Martin retiring, or Martin getting on the Malaysian airlines....I signed it with the meaning of saying, if there was a vacancy I would support Pearl's rehiring, NOT THAT MARTIN SHOULD FIRED IMMEDIATELY OR AT SEASONS END.

It's what lost sheep is claiming I've said, and you chimed in agreeing with him. Maybe you should read what he's accusing me of before jumping in and agreeing with him :hi:

I'm not sure what you mean?

Because I said "if there's a job opening I would like for us to hire Ben Howland" means I don't support Zo?

Signing that petition.
Starting threads saying "Fire CCM"
Not supporting team by attending games, etc.
Denying the use of a plane
Etc.

^^ all these things are "fan unrest" and are all the same. If you did one, you're no different than someone else who did another.

The real truth in all this is that nobody should be ashamed about doing any of those things. Martin was in his third year and was underperforming with his best team. He is very fortunate to sneak into the tournament and make this run. But he took full advantage and personally I think he may have turned the corner as a coach.

Finger pointing at other fans for being critical is laughable. Especially from someone who signed that petition.
