I very well may agree with you...or at the very least, I'm starting to see evidence that Green may be part of the problem and not part of the solution. Not possible to say with certainty yet. But 2 games against B1G competition without him and there was a drastically improved energy we didn't see yesterday. Not that the name Deverell Biggs rings a bell or anything.

We've been accustomed the last decade to lose a cupcake game a year. Now we've lost 3 all in this season alone.

In better news:

So we're back to this team again...

You got that right...

It feels like 3 seasons ago now since we had a player with a triple-double. Is this the same season we were watching last week? Or just more of the same from the first 9 games?

You'll know when this team turns the corner depending how they enter onto the court before each game. Turned a Corner: Didn't Turn a Corner:

I couldn’t agree more. If you’re going to give Frost an extension after two losing seasons, then Hoiberg (based on his resume) certainly warrants the same consideration. I’m a Frost Bobo, but coaching in the NBA carries more weight with me than going undefeated at UCF...

Seems to correlate with the performance of the basketball team...

We still have a long ways to go. But after seeing how we've competed against the state of Indiana, it gives me a lot more hope and optimism for the next 12-18 months.

After stepping away from the interwebs to decompress and not let my emotions get the best of me on this board, I fin- WE WON TODAY! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? WE WON! WE LOOKED LIKE A TEAM THAT COULD COMPETE IN THE BIG TEN. I HAVEN'T FELT THIS ELATED AFTER A NEBRASKETBALL WIN SINCE BEATING TOP 25 RANKED MARYLAND LAST MARCH! (Now back to your regularly scheduled "get your hopes up every game because we now have proven this week that we have even a slightest chance to beat any given team" programming.)

This is what a concussion looks like inside the head??

Team with a Triple-Double - 82 Fighting Hawks - 66

Let’s just say that no one is going to fire up the crow grill until we hit 2... Better go out and buy that charcoal soon!
