He's delusional, but he's not a troll. Bobber knows who he is.....

While I agree that dean_siu is delusional, the current SIU board is too.

Looks like Dean is now a Missouri State donor

Wonder if he’ll end up on the Missouri St board.

I remember reading on this site years ago that he was on the K-State board as “dean_ksu”.

edit: Yep, just looked it up. He’s been posting there 10 years with a Saluki avatar and his signature is “We Gave You Chris”.

We don't tolerate a lot of bs on the Bear Nation board ; anyone's welcome, but not everyone gets to stay. You hijack a thread more than a couple x and it's usually a short stay.

Just sent a donation. Have to admire any MVC program that hires strong coaches and strives to win. I remember when SIU didn't celebrate being the 112th ranked team in the country.

That you would send even $1 to a rival rather than support your alma mater says all I need to know about you. While Coach Mullins didn't inherit the dumpster fire that Hinson did when CLo was fired, Mullins didn't have much talent to compete with so it was a complete rebuild the moment he set foot on campus. I didnt see or hear anyone celebrating being #112 after this season. He's doing things right. I'd suggest you keep your opinions to yourself. You're not coming across as particularly bright, Dean.

I have placed Dean on my prayer list.

Unfortunately, the cancerous Kevin Dillard became a part of the program (before he moved on to destroy Dayton) and Mario Moccia made CLo the fall guy for a player that tanked the program at the time. Bring back Chris though and I’m confident SIU can be a top ten program again within 2-3 years.

I know he posted this as a troll, but allow me to dissect this post for our entertainment... 1 single player in the 12-15 years when Weber, Painter, and Lowery were the head coaches destroyed the program. Said player then went on to destroy the Dayton program. Keep in mind, Dayton is a top tier A10 teams who was on track to be a #1 seed in 2020. Chris Lowery was the fall guy for all of that, including what happened at Dayton. In reality, the downfall of the SIU program was more related to losing Matt Painter than any player causing a problem. Lowery has proven to be a quality assistant coach but is a guy that may not ever make a good head coach. That isn't a criticism, just some people aren't cut out for it and it played out that way at SIU... On to the final part, which is the hilarious part. Lowery could turn SIU into a top 10 program AGAIN in 2-3 years. When in the Wide, Wide World of Sports was SIU a top 10 program? I'm an SIU fan, but wow. SIU made 6 straight NCAA Tournament appearances and postseason in 8 of 9 seasons. During that span, they were never ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll and only ranked in the preseason once. They never advanced to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament and were never close to advancing to MSG in the NIT. I know they won the NIT in 1967, but I'm discussing the run in the 2000's... Sometimes I like picking things apart, I just wanted to analyze how absurd this guy is and wonder why he is allowed on this board.
