We can all agree he screwed up on that return.  Aside from that I don't see what's so bad about him.   He's got what we should want in a slot receiver.  He can't stretch the field, but should never be put in that position in the first place.

That fumble was all on him.  As a receiver he's solid in the slot, but I don't like how we use him to try and stretch the field.

Man, no bowl wins since 1991 is ugly yet no where near as ugly as Duke's winless streak.

Yogi isn't selfish all the time, but he absolutely has his streaks.  He has streaks where he is going to 'get his' come hell or high water.

You think that's bad, the Beatles song went through my head.

I'm old enough to remember him.  I loved Dane, one of my all-time favorites.  I wanted him as an assistant here so bad.

A good coach absolutely could take this team further.  The talent is there, they need a coach that can get the most out of them and make them a team as opposed to a collection of talent.

Even I'll say this is a stretch.  Crean's miracle year was a Final Four, that's not a down year for any coach.   More like for many coaches a down year is a typical year for Tom Crean.

That'd be an interesting change of pace.  The one time TV Ted doesn't want to be the center of attention and the one time everyone wants to see him.

Be bad for Brad?

So he's a firm believer of the fake it until you make it theory.  Big problem though, he'll never make it.

They'll be right in the thick of things when it matters and probably go at least a round further in the NCAAs than people expect.  That's the Izzo factor.

Well to be fair he wasn't wrong.  Outside of like 2 teams the SEC barely had a pulse.

Even I don't want us to lose to a cupcake like this, and I wanted Crean fired immediately after last season ended.

Hold up.  Someone likes IE, that brings the grand total to........1.

He certainly wouldn't be in my top 2 or 3 but his resume is better than Crean's was.  In 6 full years he's finished top 3 half the time and never lower than t-6th while winning it twice; plus he's only missed the tourney once and in the Sweet 16 half the time he's been there, the only outlier is when he missed the tournament.   Compared to Crean who had been a coach for 9 years, missed the tournament almost half the time and never got past the second round without DWade.   Certainly not a homerun, but already looks more impressive than Crean ever has.

I have the same issue using IE on my work laptop.  I figured it was because IE sucks, which it does.  If he's using IE that was his first mistake, but sometimes it's a necessity.

I know.  I would've said we put a shiny bit on a Yugo engine and thought we had an LS6.

I'm just thinking it has to be a massive bow to cover enough of a Pacer to make someone think it's a Ferrari.  Complete opposites there, one's a piece of art the other is a piece of something else.

How big was that friggin' bow?

Goodness, I hope they have higher expectations than just making the dance.  That should be a minimum every season.

I think some overrate how good of a defender Yogi is.  He rates out as one of our worst, and for the past 2 seasons has rated out around Jordan Hulls level.  There are some things he does well, I'm just not convinced that defense is one of them.  I do agree there are things he gets a pass on.

Thanks for the response.  As you can tell, I watch the games but my interest this season is low.

Honest question here.  When has Troy ever not started a game or sat out games because of his performance?  The only instances I remember were because of his off court issues.  When it comes to performance, unless I'm missing something, his leash has been a mile long.

I just think people don't like what he has to say.  He's said good things about IU and bad things about other programs.
