I'm talking NCAA, not AAC. And I don't believe in jinxes.

It's funny. So many years The Bearcats are lauded as this "tough as nails" group of guys, and certain to make a deep run into the tournament (NCAA). They've made ONE Sweet Sixteen the last 15 years! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Facey put the "ugh" in ugly tonight: 0-6, 2 pts, 3 rbs, 5 fouls. What has gone wrong with him the past few games?

How can we be letting this team back in?

Nope. No way, no how. Too many banged up players. The ones who aren't banged up are used up. Your thoughts on getting the young players more seasoning don't hold water, IMO. The young uns have been playing 20, 25, and 30 minutes a game. Hopefully we beat USF. Then we have a game vs Houston...

I could not disagree with you more... Was North Carolina over when Dean Smith retired? UCLA /Wooden (granted it took a while for them to get back to relevance), Pitino/Kentucky? If we do happen to move on from KO, we'll find another coach who can get the program back to prominence.

I love that you guys are debating where we'll be seeded when we make the tourney. Almost makes me think we have a chance. <sigh>

I'm not huge on KO. Yes, he won a NC, but do you remember how precarious our position was down the stretch of that season? We were ALL questioning how far we'd go in the NCAA tournament. But they made a run and brought home the banner. But, in 5 years, we have not been a dominant program in...

Thank God that's over... I'm thinking we win a Thursday tourney game and then give it up on Friday. It would be a merciful end to a lousy season.

I could not agree more. Brimah, especially, has not gotten any better than he was 4 years ago.

I'm posting this in all seriousness. GA has spoken about how his team's weaknesses get hidden by their strengths, so I'd like to hear your opinions. Here's my "list": 1) Depth off the bench. This to me is their most glaring weakness. After CD and NB, there's not much else. Gene obviously doesn't...

Spoken like a real, non-cynical, fan.... Jeez, do you hope for coal in your stocking on Christmas morning, too?

But... you get my point, right?

Senior night is a knife that can cut both ways... The way this season has gone, don't be shocked if the stars align and we win this game. Check me if I'm wrong, but if we win, we clinch a 1st round bye, right?

Agree on Facey, and wish we had another year with him. Purvis is an enigma, plain & simple. There are times he's borderline spectacular and other times he makes me pull my hair out. I'm disappointed in Brimah's lack of growth/maturation over his 4 years here. I don't think it is asking too much...

I really wish he had one more year of eligibility.... he's really coming into his own, unlike AB, who hasn't gotten much better or stronger in his 4 years here.

I think that's when you specifically blame the coaching! Part of his job is getting these guys to gel. Don't forget, these guys are playing pickup games well before official practice starts. Larrier practiced with the team last year. And by sheer talent alone we should have been able to survive...

You think Brimah is a 1st round pick? I would bet he doesn't even get drafted! He has ZERO offensive moves in the low post, he gets RBs taken away from him by guards, and he thinks he can block every single shot, which is why he spends so much time on the bench with foul trouble.... he MIGHT...

Well, we did lose the first 2 games when 1) everyone was healthy 2) we were at home and 3) we were playing 2 mid-major teams (the kind of "cupcakes" you line up to get a couple quick wins and for your team to get game action before the "real" season begins). If AG and TL come back healthy next...

I would like everyone please to stop assuming this all went down like the article says it did. Right now we have one side of the story: the kid and his family's. We don't know for sure what RE said because only two people do: the kid and Randy Edsall. I like Mike & Mike on the Deuce but can they...

You are basing this assurance from Edsall on one side of the story - the kid and his family. Edsall can't comment on it yet, and probably won't. We don't know what was said exactly. If Diaco was still coach the kid would probably still have his scholarship here, but Diaco is gone. The shoe can...

I'm in 223, row 6, about the 40yd line. Having the chair back & cup holder are awesome, and I rarely have to wear more than jeans and a sweatshirt late in the season.

I have season tickets in the Mezzanine Chairbacks, they're the best value vs price for season tickets, imo. Also get them on the sunny side of the field, not under the press box / club suites. The shade it gives you for the first couple games is no match for being in the sun for the games in...

Just bought some $12 tickets, there wasn't much left beyond some scattered singles and a couple rows w 3 tickets left. Game looks to be sold out.

Even comparing football programs, UCONN is the more attractive school to any of the 5 power conferences. Our b-ball programs, and the school itself, make us WAY more of a viable choice than any of the other schools in the AAC. That being said, if our football program doesn't improve, we're in...

ECU has excellent players at all of the skill positions. I think Geremy is probably the only one of our skill players who could start for them. Mobile qb, that's bad news for us. I don't have hopes that we'll beat them. If we stay within 17 points, I'd take that result. ECU's defense looks...

Actually, I think our D line played well. They averaged 3 yards a carry, that's not bad. Yes, SF had a couple big gains on draw plays, but I put some of the blame for them on our LBs. I like this D. I think they're gonna keep getting better as the season goes on. I'm worried about the o line...

Yikes. 4 games and you have him all figured out, huh? #rushtojudgement

You can't throw a bomb when you don't have time to let Davis get down the field. The O line doesn't give him enough time for that kind of play. They need to run quick slants that don't require the line to hold off the D for more than a second or two. But you are right, they need to do something...

For now, all he can do is coach the players he inherited. That being said, I think they could try throwing some quick slants to Davis et al, or utilize the screen pass more - the line isn't blocking effectively anyway, so a screen pass or three might be an effective weapon. We can't judge him...
