Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 07:01:07 PMIt's one bad year. The last 4 years have been varying levels of good to great. That's just a fact. People can't preach "it takes one offseason to rebuild in this day and age, so one down year is the leash," and then talk about how this is somehow 4 bad years.


I was referring specifically to the recruits starting 4 years ago who comprise this year's "one bad year". I should have been clearer. I had faith in Shaka's ability to build a solid team that would be able to take over post Kolek. Oso, Stevie and Kam. That faith vanished with what we see this year, but it started 4 years ago. Ben has had his good games, Chase looked really good until the BE games this year, but gambling on Hamilton and not going to the portal when I believe he should have acknowledged-at least to himself-that he had players who were not working out, and he needed to go to the portal. Right up until the first game, we heard happy talk.

I want to see Shaka go back to the coaching style he had that was so successful. And that requires showing the poor performers the door to make room for transfers. Leaving the decision to stay or go up to the player is, in my opinion, a huge mistake. Not saying that he will, but it could happen.

Let's hope the original version of Shaka reappears. But criticizing him for this year's team is, I believe, fair and should not be put into a Doddsian blender with his successes. There were/are two different M.O.s involved.

Like I asked, answer the question? I will for you. No way. Hurley and Rick would walk out the door.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 07:13:09 PMThis has easily been one of the least enjoyable viewing Super Bowls for a neutral viewer in a long time.  Defense has been good, sure, but there has been zero offensive execution and the play calling/strategy has been beyond conservative and tight.  Macdonald was playing for a FG from the moment they got the ball back on that last drive, short of them breaking a big run.

I'm good following the second half on my phone and watching something on Netflix that is enjoyable and holds my attention as opposed to 2 QBs getting blitzed into jitters and chucking incompletions.

Well said.

Quote from: JakeBarnes on Today at 04:55:52 PMStill making my silly prediction of a Beast tournament win.

Because if Gtown can do it in 2021, we can do it this year.

There was no this year's UCONN in that version of the BE.
