I’d hate to be on that flight home...

actual tim miles quote from that podcast: "if they fire me, i'm still a millionaire."

He’s not lying. I have a sneaking suspicion he’s known his fate since the meeting with Bill Moos. His demeanor on the sideline just seems different. The podcast comments and him not caring what he said would also lead me to believe that.

The only good thing about that flight is that it will leave Pennsylvania.

How anyone can watch this offense and think that Miles needs more time...I don’t know. 

 

Lets hope like hell he does not have Moos wrapped around his finger like he does the national media.

Even with some heavy hitters coming into PBA, I don't think we're going to fill all the seats for the rest of the year.

 

Then again, if Penn State is the floor, we're still doing alright in attendance.

[HuskerFever]

The best defensive player of the night?

 

The shot clock.

It’s almost like their coach went on a podcast to talk about how he was most likely going to get fired and tried to make everyone feel sorry for him. 

 

That’ll give the kids some confidence!

Andy Katz is already on the horn looking for an immediate reaction interview!

The fans will show up. The fans have always shown up and we have had nothing to speak of as tangible results. 

 

Thats something you can sell a new coach and players. Even through some really bad times the fans show up. Imagine what could be if we actually had a quality team to cheer on. It would be scary

Glad I did not rush home to watch this.

well, this thread's pretty much run its course. everyone have a good one.

For as good as Isaiah played against N'western, he is equally as bad tonight against Stevens.  

[royalfan]

You have to be very tough minded to win here so you can develop your players to be.  We lack that.  

[Huskerpapa]

Tom my friend, that turnover was embarrassing.

Makes me believe he is far from NBA material.

[HuskerFever]

Alright guys. Let's get this deficit back to 10 or less. That will help us out with our NET scor........oh, what am I kidding?

[colhusker]

State Penn is shooting almost 54% against us.  Ouch

Play guys that want to play.  The score doesn’t matter.

One thing we did in our last 2 games is play defense.  We have done enough on offense to win this game.  We have played like horse manure on defense.

I have mentioned this before, I am in the midst of reading the Jay Bilas book, Toughness.  Based on his (and many others) we do not fit the definition of having toughness.

Part of that is them not playing that hard with this huge lead.

That's disrespectful to horse manure.
