I feel like this team is going to be infuriatingly close to winning games but will fuck up just enough to keep me engaged but pissed as hell.
So I'm going to tell you how this is going to go. The offense over the next 4 years is going to get very good. The defense is going to be exactly what we saw tonight for the duration of this staff. We will win a bunch of games in the next four years because our offense will outscore everyone else and our defense will look better then it is because the opposing offense will be one dimensional trying to keep up. I've watched this for the last 17 years clad in green and yellow. Tonight I saw that we are (or will be) what everyone was calling us, we truely are Oregon east
Also, I'm still looking for an answer about the 10 second run off for a defensive injury. There is no way the refs got that right
At least you are feeling something. Last year It got to the point that I wouldn't even feel anything about losing. I guess that progress?
To clarify, I'm not saying this as a bad thing, in fact it's actually pretty exciting for the future. buckle in for a lot of exciting wins and a handful of extremely maddening losses
You know what, I just realized what we really did wrong at the end of that game. Before that last play from the 8, one of our defenders should have went down with an injury because according to those refs, there would have been a 10 second run off. Game over, we win
We will need to beat Tulane 75% chance, U conn away 50%, and a surprisingly bad Cincy team to go bowling. Still have a decent chance but a win last night would have basically guaranteed it. Still not sure wtf happened on that last pay it's like only 3 people even moved at the snap thinking it was going to be a spike to stop tel he clock I guess.
Wright never had a chance to make that kick. I told my dad before the attempt no way he makes it. At halftime he missed 3 consecutive tries from 40 yards on the right hash. Left right than left. He was clearly frustrated. Then he moved in and made 2 from the middle from the 20 and 1 from the left hash from short distance. I was waiting to see if he was going to go back to the right but he never did. I told myself them I hope we don't kick anything from the right. ..welp.
"One more play here and there and this team could be 5-1," Frost said afterward. "Nobody would have said we could be 5-1 when we started this thing. I don’t think many people thought we could be 3-3. We’re close to being a really good team and it won’t be very long around here before we’re winning all these games."
He is right about being a couple plays away from 5-1 which is why I'm not really mad about last night. Now, if he is saying this again 2 season from now, I'll be mad
Was pregame but the stands were still brutally empty throughout. Much better turnout for UConn though.
It probably will be no one so maybe we can see a TV revenue increase for this league and ride it out til the top of AAC and the leftover B12 teams form a league in 2025.
Yeah the fact that there have been no leaks leading up to this leads me to believe that there is nothing to leak because nothing is going to happen
Probably best case today for us. Now the league needs to properly be paid for their TV package and this could work for the next 8-10 years.
I think Big 12 correctly assumed that any hope they have of staying together in 2025 will come from doing what ESPN and Fox tell them to do today and try to negotiate later on to re-up. And they have to hope the conference champ game and playoffs go their way a few times between now and then
I'm sure somewhere in the athletics office is one of those banners we had made up. We just weren't stupid enough to tweet it out.
with all that bullshit the big xii pulled, one slight thing i'm looking forward to now is the inevitable bianchi column on it tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to them falling on their face and not getting anyone in the playoff even with their 10-team championship game bullshit.
At this point, after all the build up and months of expansion talk, not adding anyone is probably the worst thing they could have done. They would have gotten laughed at and hammered on by the media less if they had added even Georgia state and Idaho. Now it's all the more obvious that it was all a cash grab and just how disfunctional that conference is.
how bad are we going to be at basketball this season with all the transfers out and the transfers in that have to sit out?
only seven eligible players? How did that happen? I know transfers are a normal part of coaching changes, but did an inordinate amount leave?
Adonys, McBride, and the entire recruiting class. Then you have the dudes that came in like Aubrey Dawkins that have to sit out a year.
I thought Adony's was the toxic one? Not that I followed much, but there certainly rumored that AD was a cancer to the locker room.
sounds like without a major change of attitude Snelson and Payton may not every see the fields again at UCF. Both openly berating teammates and coaches during games and on social media. So much talent..so immature.
SO we got a third QB commitment today, a guy from Virginia picked us over Temple and Maryland... Any idea if any of these QB's are any good
He has earned it. And I would like him to move on so never have to play him again. Other than Herman and Fleck he has to have the best resume of the G5 coaches.
