What a Joke

[How Sway?!]

No I am not. Strawman.

Ok, then explain: in what way is men's basketball participating in revenue creation that is different than football?

Agree. Joe was gonna bolt right after the regular season ended. At least he let us know.
I’m upset as a ticket holder, alum, and fan, that the staff was in lockdown and we got no news. I assumed Evers was going to play but apparently he opted out. (@ZooCougar mentions in another thread he left after a couple weeks practicing with the 1s). WTF?

It was not a secret. His mom basically spilled the beans.

Why isn’t Evers in the portal? He’s never going to play here again.

I have known this but have kept quiet. Evers went home for Thanksgiving and never came back. The coaches had to reach out to him to find out what was going on.

AWOL Wow. I think he could have kept the game competitive but apparaently felt his teammates showing up weren't important. Kinda makes Fagnano look better by comparison but whatever. Just go home and sulk.

Saying he was going to transfer. Playing in the bowl game mentioned?

My post wasn't solely about Fagnano. I mean how many players that dressed up didn't play one down? You don't think that had to do with the freezing cold and hard surface? Again, I don't blame the AD for choosing to do the financially responsible thing, but like I said, it was a choice that was made and the results were not pretty.

From my point of view at the game, our guys were playing hard, especially in that first half while the game was still in the balance. Aside from Bell only playing the first drive, there were basically no surprises about who didn’t play much. The defense was mostly intact, and all the skill guys on offense who we expected to play did play

Define “mostly intact.” Best I can tell we were down 5 starters and a number of backups.

After being told that our entire defense was still on campus practicing for the bowl game, I was a bit surprised by the number defensive players that did not appeared to have played in this game .

How is he a grad student if he didnt come back for finals?

Someone made it sound like he was the #1 in practice for the bowl game, then he ghosted the team. That sounds like he never #1.

Don’t worry. People will make excuses for unnecessary leading people on because “the game didnt really matter.” (disclaimer: it counted on our record and was our only ESPN appearance of the season).

The new normal! Just accept it. Don’t ask any questions.
