State recognizing Stansbury before the A&M game Saturday...

Pretty cool move by the admin.

I was (am) a big fan of letting Stans go, but it's become more and more evident to me how hard it is to win as much as he did at an SEC school not named Kentucky (or in a city smaller than 100k).

Knowing what I know now I'd still fire him, but I no longer hold any anger with how things ended. Glad to see the school do this.

2 extra chairs also being added to the bench for the boys to sit in and Meo going to pace behind the bench and scream

That is fantastic and completely fitting....

After all, the man spent 22 years in Starkville, was part of 15 post-season appearances and won more games than Babe McCarthy. We should be naming something after him.

I've always thought it speaks well of Howland that he has mentioned Stansbury's contributions to the program on more than one occasion. Even if some of the fans couldn't see it, the people in the business seem to appreciate how hard it is to do what he did at MSU.

I think the game is Wednesday*

Thanks Rick for trying to undermine Rick Ray at every turn. Appreciate it. All that and Ray didn't even need any help being awful.

Yea Howland mentions Stans a lot. In fact, I think in his presser last week, he said he hopes the fans fill the Hump up and give Stansbury the warm welcome home he deserves. Howland is a class act so far

LMAO

I don't think you can name something after him right now. I think he needs to be a few years removed from assistant coach duties at a conference opponent.

With that being said, the whole dynamic seems weird to me. Like Mario Andretti racing remote control cars.

I hope they are bringing tubby too. Need the marshmallow man to complete the parade.

This reminds me a lot of Mullen embracing Sherrill after Croom left. It was a good move then and this is a good one now.

Yep. And also worth noting that Howland has been quick to talk up the jobs that both Stansbury and Richard Williams have done at MSU. We've had some ups and downs like all programs do, but overall, the last 25 years have been pretty freaking awesome for MSU basketball, and all 3 coaches deserve a lot of credit.
