Oso planning to go pro
It is good that MU will be playing a real team from the Baltimore/DC metroplex.
I pondered it and have concluded that there is not enough data to make a real conclusion.I lean toward coincidence, though.
I agree, I think the sample size is too small to draw any conclusions. Shaka's career win percentage is something like .670 over more than 500 games. I believe over the longer term, his win percentage against B10 opponents will normalize somewhat better than .500.If one of the things we're most concerned about our program is our record against non-conference opponents while winning at a + .700 clip, I'll take it.Bottom line is we all need to stop wasting time and get locked in to figure out why Shaka's record is so bad in secret scrimmages.
Hey! We absolutely pasted Loyola a couple years ago and also beat Mizzou by a double digits per rumors.Focus needs to be not making last year a trend. Can’t start bombing scrimmages. Personally I think Shaka saw the Juwan collapse coming and cooled on Michigan prep not taking them serious.
Yes, let's try to compete at the highest levels of the sport but duck the Big Ten.
Send this to the new AD, he needs to see this. We must avoid scheduling:Big Ten - Shaka has a losing record against them except for Illinois, he beat them twiceSEC - Shaka has a winning record against them but if he loses twice it'll become a losing record and then we'll never be able to beat themBig XII - Shaka couldn't compete in that conference when it wasn't even as good as it is nowACC - The NC State loss looms too large, Notre Dame won't even play us anymorePAC 12 - Doesn't existUConn - The gap is simply too large, growingSt Thomas - Still haven't recoveredUWM - Play it safe and continue to dodge the lossSecret Scrimmages - A single loss will cost 2-3 seed lines minimum
Reductio ad absurdum isnt a good look. I've not said anything about anything other than the B1G. Do you know how many top boxers through history have gotten to the top by playing to their strengths? Canelo isn't avoiding fighting Benavidez because of poor TV potential compared to Mungia. It's because you can be great while being aware of mismatches or shortcomings on your own end.
