I tend to go by logic rather than emotion. Evidence, not blind faith. I guess many fans are blind faithers.

His coaching history shows we can show a blip of good and it’s met by a resounding thud shortly thereafter.

But this MAY be different because the environment is different. In his four years, this is the weakest the league has been. There are no “unbeatables” and it appears our weak are as weak as ever if not even weaker. Some teams that usually compete for the top are poor to mediocre (UNR, SDSU).

So maybe there is a chance. I’m not confident myself, I’ve seen the bad in this team rear its ugly head too often. Are we magically tough now because we gritted out the past two games, because just a couple days before that we rolled over from glancing blows vs mediocre BSU and CSU ….

Like his previous three years, the goal is winning the MWCT and the best way to avoid that is shoot for that top 5 seed which shouldn’t be difficult in the what appears to be a two bid league …

It does seem like a little deja vu of past seasons. Every time the seem to have a little success, it is followed by a thud, so my expectation is the same thud will happen again until the end of the season.

Wow. Totally different team than last week.
Dj still did not shoot well but was big in the clutch. Hicks real good tonight. What made them play so much tougher?

Tends to happen every year. We get blown out then come back refocused for a stretch and then lose a game or 2 that takes us out of title contention.. still feels like fools gold to me, won't matter till we do it in March vs these teams

The lack of an experienced point guard helped the Rebs with the trap. Our 6'7" transfer guards are playing a lot better than a week ago. SDSU does not have a go to scorer which cost them in all of their losses. Are we better? Yes, but Thomas is a ball hog, won't pass the ball to the open corner for easy jump shots especially to Brooklyn. He does feed the post and then the Bear bricks it so that is a lost cause. Hill looks great physically, a lot lighter and quicker.

Miles Bird is their go to guy, he just was off in the first half and arguably would be the equal to or better than any of our so-called scorers.

Are we better, sure last night but we got “boat raced” by Boise St and CSU just a few games ago. I am not seeing the last two games as anything other than the “norm” around here. We win a few games then many here act like some switch was flipped and Kevin has figured it out and the players have jelled?

If they make it to the NCAA this March, then the light bulb has gone off but until then this is no different than last year or the year before, we win a few games only to not win in MWC tournament play and be left out of March Madness!

CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

I had read an article that came out when he and another guy went into the portal. The other guy they said wouldn't be missed. But this lineman they considered a loss for the team. Like him or not I think he is going to help us

Here is what they said about him:

"McGowan spent four seasons in Chapel Hill, playing in 31 career games, seeing his most extensive action this season. He played a career-high 267 snaps on the offensive line this year, starting three games including playing full games against NC Central and Georgia Tech. He graded out incredibly well across the board according to Pro Football Focus, registering a 65.0 run block grade, a 78.2 pass block grade and a 67.1 overall grade. He allowed just two pressures the entire season and took just one penalty. He also was a major contributor on special teams, playing over 100 snaps there in each of the last two years."

"McGowan’s loss is the more significant of the two because of how productive he was this season and the depth the team has already lost there. "

I was rooting for the Rams and the Ravens. I didn’t say anything but was so pissed that Andrews f’d over Lamar Jackson. Kaleo Ballungay would have caught that. I sure hope he gets drafted.

Washington 91 was a bad ass squad. Hoping They pull off the upset next week.

Andrews killed them second half but unfortunately Lamar had his usual playoff turnovers in the first half though he played very well in the second.
