  1. I wasn't planning on getting on this year, but there was an issue I had to check on at work and when I got back to my office a coworker left one on my chair.
  2. This team doesn't have a Vic caliber defender.
  3. Crean faced them every season in the Big East so he was far from unfamiliar. He didn't do well then either.
  4. The one loss was by 2 points, 70-68.
  5. You have to be able to create good shots and when you don't keep the defense moving that's hard to do. You can say we would've had better looks if the guards were taller all you want but we did a bad job of creating those shots. All I'm saying is that the guards being 6'0 is hardly the only reason we looked incompetent.
  6. On topic, it's too early to say how deep this team really is.  2012-13 was a deep team on paper, but didn't turn out that way.
  7. If you're going to try and reverse the ball against a zone it needs to be quick to keep the defense moving and open gaps.  They didn't do that; they reversed the ball slow giving the defense time to reset itself.  Plus they didn't do a good job of cutting to the middle where the zone is weak.
  8. Gotta disagree on that one.  They looked like they'd never even heard of a zone defense, they were comically unprepared.
  9. Yeah, it's a definite stretch.  I wouldn't put him as part of the good.
  10. Why do we keep going deep to the shortest player on the field?  I mean at least this one wasn't in triple coverage but still.
  11. Rankings aren't the be all end all.  There are players that are underrated and players that are overrated; but they do a pretty good job as a guide.  Generally speaking a top 50 player has a better chance of panning out than a player barely in the top 150.  A player in the 130s or so (or not ranked at all...) isn't necessarily a diamond in the rough or the next Vic, odds are he's just not that good.   Players like Vic that blow up and come out of nowhere make a good story for a reason, it doesn't happen that often.
  12. Wait, hold up, Miami has a player named Corn Elder?  Seriously?
  13. I'd love having these as an alternate.
  14. Fast paced offense "fun to watch" crap.  I couldn't possibly care less about "fun to watch" unless the results are Ws.  He's paid for Ws, if he's not doing that he doesn't deserve an extension.
  15. It didn't change with Zeller or Vonleh, what makes you think it'll be any different now?
  16. It's hard to say Lynch punches it in though.  I saw something that said he had something like 5 carries on the year from the 1 yard line and only punched it in once.  I still would've gave him the ball though.
  17. That was an awful call.  Carrell immediately picked up the phone to thank them for making his call look slightly less idiotic.   I guess since it worked in The Longest Yard...
  18. Are we on defense?  Yes?  No.
  19. "Pick off by Fant"   Easy mistake.  I mean green/white jerseys look so much like white/red jerseys...
  20. Why was our coach clapping about our DB getting called for PI?
  21. Or wants to see our latest 3 stooges act as an encore from the Rutgers game.
  22. So it's a situation of  IUFB defense:  "You're not scoring against us in the redzone" Opposing offense:  "No, we score before we get to the redzone."
  23. The latter happens more often.
