No clue where to put this so feel free to move but for the locals…any idea which bars have peacock and will be streaming Purdue/Arizona on Saturday? I’m guessing most will? Also any new must have restaurants in town? For the record I’m unapologetically asking this question in a super snobby way. I’m talking like super nice…fine dining if you will. I’m not opposed to crushing a strom at Nicks is the answer to this question is “no”.

My friend, Tom Allen had to take a timeout just last season, on the road at Nebraska, before a single second ran off the clock. Got the ball first, touch back on the kick off, so much confusion before even running a play he had to burn a timeout. This was after talking during the week about getting better starts to games. The most inconceivable of weird timeouts. No matter how weird Coach Cig's TOs have been during his JMU tenure, I don't need to know any details to be confident they won't sniff the weirdness of a Tom Allen timeout.

I think I said it in this thread, though yeah, mostly in the heat of the moment getting our tails handed to us and my in-laws annoying the crap out of me, but nonetheless my mind isn’t changed…I think we have to win this weekend to end up dancing. Can we go into a down B1G with zero quality OOC wins, knowing what this team is, and be confident we’ll build a resume? I think even winning all of our home games is quite a stretch. Now, I sincerely hope I eat crow, but I just don’t think this team has it in them, barring a miracle on Saturday.

That is my point though. I understand it’s not the whole picture. We’ve had the gavitt games or B1G/ACC games that get scheduled for us. We as a program need to be challenging ourselves and seeking out big time OOC games to get on the schedule. I’m glad we are doing that. But we’re not proving worthy of being in these matchups so far. Hopefully that’s our next step.

Updated… Marquee OOC matchups we have scheduled ourselves the last 2 seasons: Arizona: -14 @ Kansas: -22 UConn: -20 Auburn: -28 Kansas: TBD Totals to date: -84 Averaging a 21 point defeat so far. I think we hit the century mark next weekend!!

Got it. The reading comprehension thing. Tells me all I need to know. I WILL SAY WHATEVER NONSENSE ITS ON YOU TO INTERPRET IT CORRECTLY NO BLAME FOR ME AT ALL THIS IS HOW IT IS.

Yeah forgive me for interpreting your multiple posts about the refs as you thinking the refs were making a difference in this game. That’s totally on me and totally logical to blame that on someone else interpreting it that way. Sound all around.

I agree, but my statement is that if we don’t win next weekend I do not believe we have the capability to pull out enough quality wins in conference to make it happen. We are who we are. And I desperately hope I’m wrong.

Just stop man. It’s a 20 point game where they are playing smarter and harder than we are. The only thing more embarrassing than this effort is trying to continually blame the refs.

Next weekend is our chance to make the tournament. Pretty sad.

Embarrassing effort and deserved result. We look completely lost and unwilling to fight back.

Gutless. Folding like a lawn chair. Not an ounce of pride. Take the complaints about the refs and toss them in the bin.

Just an absolutely gutless stretch here.

Obviously the 3 losses being OSU, Michigan, and Purdue after that speech. We never stood a chance after those words, Coach!!

Like he said, “Changing the way people think.”

Arguably PSH’s best performance!

I feel like he has a little hesitation at the top of his jump shot. It drives me crazy when I see that and then the shot be so far off. Anyone know if he’s always done that, even in high school?

I loved the short and sweet "changing the way people think" answer. No follow up. No hesitation. Spot on. Need a contractor real quick though. I've ran through 2 walls already and one might be load bearing.

To expand on this, for anyone worried about where his focus will be, he said 90% Indiana, he'll be at the bowl game but not much involved in the preparation for it. Great to hear.

Oh me neither. Especially on the sidelines. But on occasions where you have to wear one, I honestly have no idea why, but a baggy suit just irks me. Make it fit!

That was fantastic. "I figured I better make the drive up here to Indy since we'll be playing in this game next year." I nearly ran through a wall myself!

Alright, b-town locals. We have a serious situation on our hands. We gotta get Coach Cig into a tailor ASAP.

I have to think it’s best they just keep X out and get him another full week of recovery. If he plays and his ankle/foot isn’t 100%, he’ll be no good guarding Young anyway and have a high risk of making the injury worse.

One of the more, if not the most, impressive offer lists on our roster. Yet he never saw the field. Odd.

Chef's kiss, OF. Chef's kiss!
