This is a pretty big game

Tone setter. Ollie gave us a bunch of 0-2 starts in the AAC. Time for a change.

You can’t lose this game
There is no recovering from it .
if you lose this game you could have our worst start ever.
Then we have
UCF. Home also must but more difficult than the first but winnable.
SMU Home. Also must against an up and down team.
That’s probably the most favorable AAC starting three games ever.
Then the hammer falls.
Tulsa Away. They were 8-0 at home last time I looked
Cinn. Away Enough said.
We have to be 3-0 going into Tulsa or it could be a long season.

Agreed. This is a big one. Victory on the road, Conference game. If I am not mistaken, and not looking back, we handled UCF when Tacko was in. I went to last years game in Orlando. Tacko was having surgery that day. His back up dominated inside. He had more BBIQ than Tacko. USF looks good, however, have they been battle tested. Seems all but 1 conference team played under .500. Again, SMU. Battle tested? Cinncy will be "it's all in your head game". Hostile place, but could be had.

First 5 games are @USF, then home to UCF and SMU.

They then play @Cincinnati and then @Tulsa.

This season will be judged on the success or failure of recruiting. Playing hard in competitive games and not beating ourselves is next.

To ignore the influence of winning on recruiting is not wise. Cause and effect in both directions. You want great recruits, have a great year.

One of the biggest things going for us is playing time. I did say playing hard and competitive was next in importance. I just don’t think picking a game out in early January and calling it a must win is where we are at now. Just Chief’s opinion. Happy New Year.

 

[Vancat]

It's funny, but the more you use the word "I", the more I like you, Chief. Happy New Year!

Couldn’t agree more and just like the last 2 seasons I’m waiting for the new year’s transformation.

If we lose to USF, they should just cancel the basketball program.

I feel like we have 1 maybe 2 losses to them the last 12 or how many ever years. One being the end of KO’s first year when we had 6 healthy guys none of them named Shabazz.
