How the Heck Do We Evaluate a Season Like This?

[rocky_warrior]

Luv ya man. Watt yeers were ya in da MU Band, hey?

Hey I was in the Band, and Orchestra, and pep band.  Only 93-94 though.

Wuz Nick Contorno da director at da tyme, hey?

[rocky_warrior]

Yup, RIP.  Good dude, probably the first person I casually referred to as "Doc".

You evaluate the season on whether you believe the program is moving in the right direction. A young team should get better as they age and get physically stronger. On that point I think we are okay.

Every coach needs to address his team's weak spot through recruiting. I am concern about MU's frontline next year, especially if Lewis goes pro. My judgement will be based on how Shaka strengthens MU in this area.

I get you don't like the numbers, but your argument is to just dismiss them?  Hah.  If they painted a rosy picture you'd probably use them all the time!

I mean, if you like Pomeroy better, only slightly better than the 2015 team, and worse than last year  But still worse than any other Shaka team.  Our efficiency numbers aren't pretty (offense for sure, but defense too).   Like I said, plenty of time to get better, and Shaka to work some magic.

It's not that I don't "like" the numbers. I just don't get them sometimes.

Ultimately, the only numbers I really care about are those attached to wins and losses. But we're nowhere near "ultimately" with Shaka yet, so I just want to see solid progress. Yes, "see," with my eyes, even though I know such a thing is frowned on today.

Here's hoping Year 2 at Marquette is nothing like Year 2 at Texas ... because Scoop will implode if we go 11-22 next season ... no matter what Torvik might say.

I'm not bilingual, but I think I agree.

Just not positive.

Yup.

It's interesting that the 2 most annoying things on Scoop (babbling and "Crean Sucks" come from the same person). He must be a blast at parties.

you're loss...missing out on some free golden nuggets you'd be able to tell your kids/grandkids about.  come on billy, let your hair down a little bit

[wildbillsb]

Used to have hair.  It was long and black.  Haven't seen it in decades, except for a grungy, white growth that sticks out around the edges of my baseball cap.  Not a good look to say the least.

[tower912]

So, like so many of us, instead of letting your hair down, ypur hair as let you down.
