I feel the same way. I like watching Pickett and the drama show that is Tilmons development. As long as Dru is as capable of scoring as Geist then I think we will have a much better year.

I agree we have somewhat of a talent deficiency and we have lost our best player 2 years in a row however look at Iowa’s roster and tell me they have significantly more “athleticism” or “talent”. The offense is just plain simple and rarely is it anything other than perimeter passing with a high ball screen.

No - he was tired and no body else even wanted the ball. Rewatch the end and you will see multiple open looks passed up because Geist and Pickett were only two who weren’t too timid to shoot.

I think we have a terrible frontcourt. Tilmon either figures it out or we lose a lot of games this year.
I think all of our guards are pretty athletic- including Geist. I find it funny that a player has to look extra quick or have a 40 inch vertical to be a good athlete. Anybody who has consistently put stats up like Geist is a fine D1 athlete. The most disappointing players this year are Tilmon, Puryear, Smith, santos.

You guys have kinda gotten weird. No big deal to check yourself from time to time brother Tiger.

What do you mean by support? Do you mean immediately call the authorities, give emotional and physical comfort or commit assault either in a rage or premeditated? I’m a father of 3 by the way. I’m also old enough to know that there is a lot of gray areas in life. - if she was truly “beaten” and injured and the person was not already in jail or for some reason justice was not served then that may be one thing. - if she calls and says dad my boyfriend kinda hit me as we were arguing and the police have investigated and I went back and picked him up later that night so what should I do- honestly I don’t think I would drive to his home and assault him.

8 am for me but I’m used to it. This is a big game for this year’s success and the future of the program.

I? agree with all except that we would need several 10 win seasons. I? think we need to win this year, use the new facilities and make that push right now. A lot really rides on this year being a 9 / 10 win season. I? know that is a lot of pressure but we need to ‘step on the throats’ of the programs that are down right now. If we finish second in east and win the bowl game leading to at least 9 wins there should be no reason a struggling NE team, that has to travel to Minn and Iowa and Michigan to play football should outcompete us regularly for recruits. Same with Arkansas / Tenn / all the others mentioned as well.
I? feel that right now is our window of opportunity and it may close quickly if we don’t take advantage and jump.

If we compete for the whole game I will see that as progress. I still won’t be happy with a loss by 19 pts but I can see us losing by that and still playing hard / competitive football. If we lose 19 to 0 then no I will not be happy.

We need to pony up or face a decade of losing. With the right hire and enough assistant funding we can be back to competing in a relatively short time.
