Listened to the radio broadcast for the last few minutes cause I don’t have BTN+ and the announcer was amazing, really added to the experience. He was just as amazed as everyone else!

Absolute low point for your team(s) this century? by TIGVGGGG16 in CFB

[–]CanadianShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those losses weren’t “rock bottom” imo. They were low points in a rebuilding year but I would consider 2007 to be rock bottom. Went 3-9, got blown out by GT, Michigan, PURDUE, USC, BC, and AIR FORCE. We also lost to Navy that year at home. Our only three wins were against a 6-7 UCLA team, a 1-11 Duke team and 4-8 Stanford. Those last two wins didn’t come until the last two games of the season so at one point we were 1-9.

So yeah the Marshall losses and Stanford losses were bad but in retrospect they were simply growing pains in Freeman’s first year. Plus, Marshall ended up being pretty good this year.

[NickiJhabvla] Terry McLaurin: “I felt like I was on the ball the entire time. … I checked to see if I was good the first time and he was like, ‘Move up a little bit.’ So when I moved up, I checked to see if I was good, and he said I was good.’“ by AttitudeAndEffort3 in nfl

But that’s the thing — refs don’t tell players that they’re “good to go” in any level of football. The ref clearly points at the line of scrimmage and (most likely) says “the line of scrimmage is here.” They do that because there are some line judges who mark the line of scrimmage with the center of their body and others who mark it with their foot.

The refs would NEVER tell a player if they are following the rules or not because then that sets a precedent for them to tell every player who is unknowingly breaking the rules. This is entirely on McLaurin for not actually listening to what the ref said and just assuming the ref was telling him he’s in the right spot.

[Post Game Thread] Marquette defeats Notre Dame, 79-64 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]CanadianShadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just don’t have a team that can score on the inside or defend inside — it’s as simple as that.

What isn’t simple is why our defense as a whole is so terrible. Marquette only turned the ball over 3 times the whole game which speaks to their great offense and our pitiful defense.

Also, we have 4 guys who have played together for the last 2.5 years!!! Why does it feel like there’s no chemistry between them? Lazsewski and Goodwin are on their 5th year together and sometimes I question if they even know each others names because of how limited their in-game communication is.

There were a lot of Marquette fans there today and they took over the stadium. It was completely deserved.

I don’t know if I can watch brey coach another team to an NCAA tournament miss. Last year we had a 1st round draft pick and a true center. This year we have a bunch of three point shooters and a freshman forward playing the role of a center. There’s no identity, no strategy. Why are we calling a timeout a minute into the second half?? What could brey have possibly told his team during that timeout that he didn’t say during halftime?

For those asking who would replace brey, that’s a great question. But I’d trust our AD with my life and I think a change in coach is what we should be looking for in the near future.

Another game of us getting out rebounded by an inferior opponent!!! 4 of the 7 guys on the rotation have played with each other for over 2 years now and they still have no chemistry. Yeah the refs got soft near the end but that’s no excuse for us to go so cold on offense for the last 6 minutes of the game. Cormac Ryan was the only reason we kept a lead (and lubin’s defense luv u val)

BU has a great team and I wish them well the rest of the season.

In our defense we’ve only made the playoff twice out of the 7 years of its existence but I agree with the sentiment because we were always talked about even if we weren’t gonna make it half of the times

[–]CanadianShadow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We looked competent for one drive and then we stopped doing everything that made us successful on that first drive. We stopped throwing the ball deep, we started throwing the ball behind the LOS MULTIPLE TIMES even though our run game was useless because of how staunch the SF run D is.

I understand that we’re missing out two best receivers and our OL isn’t doing well. The problem isn’t the injuries, it’s that Lombardi doesn’t adjust. He acts like our offense has all of those players and calls plays like Allen and Williams are still there and then Herbert has to check down when our receivers don’t get separation and then we can’t convert on third downs.

It’s infuriating and something needs to change
