I nominate this post of the year.

the current live feed from my house

Like the national newspaper USA Today? Or you just messing around? Or is something just over my head? I R Cofused ☹

You have to PAY for rumors!?!

I just spent a 10 minute 1st page google deep dive and found Jack. My wife was like "What are you scowling at?"

67 us 66 them why do I do this to myself

And also It is beginning to look like the football team has a better chance of turning it around next season and saving the coach than the basketball team. And If I could travel back in time and tell my 1 month ago self this my 1 month ago self would probably insult my mother.

I agree. He can't possibly want to. I'm at the point though where it looks like his wants may not matter. And I'm not saying Hoiberg should be fired in 1.5 years based on the prior 2.5. But at some point there are minimum standards. And I'm not going to state what those should be. All I'm saying is, even though Trev can't possibly want to fire a Hoiberg, it looks like in 1.5 years it is becoming a very likely scenario that even though the minimum standard seems so low, this team may be sooooo bad over a four year period Trev is forced to do something he did not want to do at this moment and time.

Bouchard vs. Walker would be a great match up to watch though.

At this point I'm on board with moving Doc to an administrative position. I like him. And then you give Hoiberg the same deal Frost got. Hire some new coaches and you get a year.

I made that argument. Possibly in this very thread. I would no longer make that argument.

Oh no we can evaluate it now.

Don't let up Auburn. This team deserves back to back 100 pt games.

THANK YOU SIR! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!!

3rd times a charm!

Us 62 Them 59 I make this guess with zero confidence

Well if we lose enough that W. Illinois game won't look like a bad lose so there's that.

This is how I see this season playing out

Not saying he didn't, but I can't say he's wrong.

If that kid from Michigan didn't shoot they might still be standing there watching him line up his shot.

I can never bring myself to pick against my team. Its why I will always pick us to win in our little guessing contests. Even when I know its foolish. But for the most part I am a realist. And the scenario that this team is more successful, in terms of wins, than the previous two years, looks pretty dubious at the moment. Like I stated in an earlier post I like the talent on this team that I believe will come back next year. I think its talent you can build a team around. Its clear to me this years pieces, which look immensely talented, do not fit together or will not fit together in time to have even a mediocre season. Which brings us to year four. Hoiberg will probably be starting with his highest floor of returning talent he's had here. Am I confident he can incorporate the returning talent with the new talent quick enough that we have not dug ourselves a hole we can't get out of before conference play starts? Nope. Last year when we were in that period where we were playing a game nearly every other day I though you could literally see the coaching that was taking place from game to game. I saw open shots (misses but open), ball movement, and some solid defense. I just don't believe this is a coaching issue in terms of basketball. But there seems to be a coaching issue in terms of getting his players to play as a team before half the season is over. And Hoibergs recruiting model does not mesh with my perceived coaching issue of his. And all of that to say when he was hired that I thought he probably need 5 years worst case scenario. Depending on how this season plays out though I think he is gravitating to "Need to thread the needle" space Frost is in. And I am getting much less sure that he can.
