Mar 19 2044: Artis, Buffaloes part ways - by AblazeMrGlass on March 30th, 2025
After 18 seasons of diligent service, Bart Artis and West Texas A&M have mutual agreed to part ways.
"I know when someone says it's mutual it never is, but this truly is the case in the situtation," Artis said.
"I cannot thank Bart enough for his many years of service to this institution and look forward to rooting for him wherever he ends up," said Athletic Director Big Meech.
The Buffaloes agreed to terms with Floyd McMullen shortly after. His incredible recruiting tract record as the main factor.
"Floyd could sell mud to a pig. The guy is legit and I am hoping he can get us over the hump and get us moving back in the right direction," said Big Meech.
Feb 14 2041: Ode to Gary Dobson - by AblazeMrGlass on October 2nd, 2024
Shocking news out of Mitchell as head coach Gary Dobson "stepped down" from his post after a dutiful career.
"I can't believe Mitchell just forced him out," said Bart Artis. "The guy gave them everything and it just seems like the president over there doesn't get it."
Artis went on to say that Dobson was like a great great step-father to him and that he wishes him the best despite the "poor" treatment from the Mariners.
"I might bring Gary on my staff just to beat those guys again worse next year... such a shame."
Mar 08 2036: Allegations - by AblazeMrGlass on January 5th, 2024
After bold accusations from Mitchell Mariner's president, Bart Artis held a press conference to dispel the rumors.
"Listen, if I was cheating I wouldn't be bringing in 3-star scrubs who can't tell a pickle from a basketball."
He then left the presser in a full-on sprint to his office yelling "Protocol delta! Protocol delta!"
Feb 02 2036: RPI Casualty - by AblazeMrGlass on December 24th, 2023
Big Hardwood has again struck a blow to the hardworking, blue collar presidents of college basketball, like myself.
Bart Artis made it a point to note that despite winning 7 straight games including a dominating win over San Diego State, the Buffaloes RPI has them out of the tournament currently… a blow to the common man.
Nov 12 2033: *itchell *ariners - by AblazeMrGlass on August 10th, 2023
The "great" Mitchell Mariners are constantly atop the news talking about 'Big Hardwood' which begs the question: wouldn't you want to talk about something you created in order to avoid the suspicion of it being you?
"Edgar Horton has a screw loose," Bart Artis said. "I've said maybe five words to that nut since our rivalry started almost 10 seasons ago and the guy constantly calls me - which I send to voicemail - saying how he can't wait to meet my wife and wondering how my son likes the fourth grade."
"He's met my wife at least 13 times and my son is 26 and is a graduate assistant for him at Mitchell... I just don't get it."
Of course, the news broke later that Horton has been overdosing on hallucinogens and players have told several stories of him breaking out in the middle of practice yelling 'They're after me! Someone burn my files!'
