Don't want to be the huge pessimist

then dont ;)

and on Nwoji, shooting guard is NOT the same as PG…BIG difference…and so is SF…so you cant go there…have to compare apples to apples…

the guy is responsbile for running the team - not catching a pass and shooting, or screening someone to shoot…

so far, i think he is doing a good job…just not stellar…has he arrived yet? No……..

it will get better…

I honestly just don't get it. USF, Cleveland State, McCheesey, BC, URI and UMKC are all games I thought we could've won. BC is so young and playing with new guys just like us and URI is a two man team.

With all due respect, URI and BC are both very good teams.  We played a hell of a game to stay and almost upset BC.  URI is a very quick and superior defensive team.  I agree with you on the others.  I thought we'd have 3 or 4 wins right now.

If we don't beat Florida Gulf Coast…..

They just beat FIU, uh, ooohhhhhhhhhhhhh

with all due respect to coach, i dont know why he scheduled them…they have been a solid prgram since inception…no cake walk…

thier first year they were unbelievable when they had like 5 D1 transfers as a D11 school…they STILL make a livign off of this practice…see roster below for illustration…

on FIU, i am not impressed until i see something that says they will be better than last year…

Box from the FIU game:

Florida Gulf Coast vs Florida International (12/2/07 at Pharmed Arena (Miami, Fla.))

Roster for FGCU (wow, 6 D1 transfers from some big schools):

Men's Basketball - 2013-14 Roster - Official Site of Florida Gulf Coast Athletics

think we were small against McCheese?  Think again…here is there starting line-up:

Liddell 6-7 F
Quaintance 6-4 G
Adler 6-9 F
Wohlleb 6-7 G
Barrowes 6-7 F

wow…oh, wait…i already said that…

This team is NO JOKE - Period.

I don't think so, as far as students go. It is still early in the season and people are still somewhat into football. I think it is important for us to win our first couple home games in the spring semester because thats when all the students are really into it, or at least more into it than now. Now if we come out in the spring and lose alot at home, I think the small fan base of students will go away. BUT, winning this game would only help us, especially since this is another in state team and I'm sure everyone knows a couple people that go there.

Lets just hope we dont ever take these kinds of steps backwards in football.  Lets also hope that these steps backward will lead to huge progress.
