The last two performances against FSU and Vandy are unacceptable, period. We shouldn't be getting beat by 30.

Having said that, I don't understand why everybody is freaking out about AU bball. Do folks need to reminded that we were arguably THE WORST TEAM in the BCS last year? THE WORST! We had no real talent other than Sullivan and haven't had any real talent for a while now.

Our talent has been upgraded a little bit this year (not much), and Barbee is bringing in top 100 players to this program, which is a feat in itself considering how bad this program has been the last 8 yrs or so. Barbee is a good coach, and he is going to get us back to the tournament. But he's not going to do it overnight. It's going to take time, like 3-4 yrs, for him to seriously upgrade the talent and get the guys he wants to run his system.

Barbee's got to correct whatever has been going on these last two games, but overall, I don't know what our fans expected this year. We're not going to be a good team necessarily, but we will win more games than we did last year. Considering where our program is, year-to-year progress is all I can ask for. We won 4 conference games last year, and I think we can win 6 or so this year. The team will play better. It can't get any worse.

Again, considering what Barbee inherited when he took over, I'm very pleased with what he's done so far and what he will do in the future if he sticks around.
