Re: What Should Be Done after the season?

I would give them another year. Last year, I had a hard time watching even the first half of games that were on tv. I thought the team was just pretty much unwatchable. This year, I have found myself happy with the progress, but frustrated that we couldn't put second halves together. I was happy wit...

Re: Big East Expansion

Houston will accept the offer to the Big East. The money is too great for them not too. They have big plans both academically and athletically, and right now the Big East offers way too much for them to turn it down. SMU will do the same, but that is because they are trying to compete with TCU for f...

Re: Big East Expansion

Houston is looking to go to the Big East right now just for the money. They really should be in the Big 12, but Texas is trying to do all they can to keep the Houston market. With A&M leaving for the SEC, they know they will lose some recruits to the Aggies, because kids would much rather play i...

Re: BG vs that team down south game thread

I am starting to love this defense. It's been a long time since we could actually see the fundamentals being taken care of. And add in the intensity they are playing with, that makes me very excited. As long as we can keep adding depth, I think we can see some pretty great things at BG again. Roll A...

Re: Curt an NM ????

Man, I'm happy for BG that Curt didn't get the job at NM, but I'm a little surprised that it wasn't him or Schafer that got the job. The Lobos are losing players under the current staff, and I thought they would bring in some new blood for the situation. But hey, as of now, Curt is still the coach o...

Re: Curt an NM ????

I think this decision comes down to Curt and Vic Schafer. Vic has been a long time assistant with Gary Blair, and is his "defensive coordinator". He has been waiting for an opportunity be a head coach, and I think this might be the right one. He has major recruting ties to Texas, and some ...

UCLA?

I just saw a message on twitter from someone I follow that is connected in the game, that says that Curt is strongly being considered for both the NM job, along with the UCLA opening. This guy doesn't post anything without getting at least two people confirming it. He has been right on almost every ...

Re: BG - Georgia Tech Game Thread

GT did a great job of hedging on the screens, making it hard for our girls to turn the corner and attack the basket consistently. We got a lot of our points on basket cuts and making the extra pass for the layup inside. Lauren was the only one that consistently could get to the basket on her own, an...

Re: BG - Georgia Tech Game Thread

The girls are getting sloppy. Their pressure is good, but we are committing some needless mistakes. GT has done a great job of taking away our outside game, but we are also letting them set up their defense. We can beat their press if we catch it and start taking it up the floor when we have them be...

Re: Game on ESPN2?

I have Comcast here in Houston, and they are showing only the Tennessee game also. I can't believe that they didn't even show the game as a look in at halftime. They looked in for a little bit at the Dayton game, and then left that one. THEN, while we still had three minutes left in the half of our ...

Elena was one of the top two players in the country her senior year of high school. She was voted by one of the national publications as the player of the year. The other player was the older of the two sisters that now plays for Stanford. Elena is a special player, and she decided after getting to ...

Mid Majors To Watch

Rebecca Lobo just put us in her top 5 mid majors to watch. She said she loved covering the team last year, and we could be exciting to watch come tournament time. It's good to get some love from someone like Lobo. She covers a lot of women's basketball, and she knows what she is talking about.

Re: BG up 40-38...

Hdog, no one said they weren't behind this team. It was a good road win. Nobody has said that it wasn't. But facts are facts. Shooting under 50% from the line is horrible. I listened to the second half of this game, and if they could have made just a couple more free throws, this game doesn't go int...

Re: OUCH!!!!

Scheduling for Curt is very difficult. I was talking to a head coach at a program currently ranked in the top ten down here on Friday. I said that I just wanted to schedule BG once so I could go see them both play. He said he would love to, but he isn't going to sign a home and home against them. He...
