What are your opinions of this guy? Is he a true AD or just a successful banker that played football with Archie? Will your opinion change if things don't pan out with Coach O?

pete is a good guy who has alot of monetary sense behind the AD job..... face the facts, schools like Ole Miss and MSU don't take in as much $$ as UT and Florida and Georgia, however, for the most part, Pete has been able to overcome this and we have some very nice football facilities and baseball ones that will be improving. As far as basketball... well, not a whole lot can be said about the Tad Pad....

pete boone played basketball at ole miss didn't he??? i'm pretty sure he did..

his quote the other day in the paper about he didn't won't to go to the nit if um was extended an invitation was crazy..

totally crazy... i can't for the life of me understand why he wouldn't let his team attend the n.i.t.. its not like um basketball has been setting the world on fire....

He played football I think....

But the NIT think, I THINK, is a money thing...I think it cost the university alot of money to play in the NIT...no real benefit...best I could figure the answer

Yep, they can't do the NIT deal since it will take money away from Zero.
