First off, I stole the headline from Rick Chandler at DEADSPIN. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’m happy to report that college basketball season is upon on us. And you know what that means: Lots and lots and LOTS of Rick Majerus posts!
The BELLEVILE (IL) NEWS-DEMOCRAT headlines a story today about Majerus’ latest SLU squad with: “Majerus is comfortable with young roster.”
But after reading the piece, I’d say the hed was about as accurate as Majerus’ team was last Jan.10. So I compiled a list of Majerus’ unintentionally hilarious quotes about his team from the story.
Majerus:
“They’re going to get shellacked.
“There’s a train wreck coming. It’s inevitable.”
“It’s going to be a bloodletting. They have no idea. I understand that, but they don’t, they’re young.”
“We’re just going to take our lumps.”
Yeah, Majerus interspersed some marginally positive comments into the piece, but for the most part, it appears he’s preparing his players for the worst.

Majerus should get together with that Florida girl in the next article and chew the fat.

When it comes to Coach Majerus, one song comes to mind:

It must be quite a sight when Majerus & Mark Mangino hit Hometown Buffet together.

Thanks for that Majerus pic, Brooks! So much for eating lunch today. Or ever again.

Less Majerus in the buff, more cheerleaders streaking, please.

If St. Louis didn't have all those fumbles in the first half, they could've scored a couple more touchdowns.

I could have gone my whole life without imagining Rick Majerus nude. Now I won't have that problem anymore!

With a photo like that, Rick should be coaching for the Bears.

The horror…the horror…
