Winning games > the cat

I would agree on Williams to a degree, but expectation has to be to win the CCHA at some point. The results thus far are mixed. Simon can find players, but I'm not sure how long he will be in BG. That job is a serious uphill climb with Akron and Kent as invested as they are in a sport where players ...

If you want to see some of the worst coaching go back and rewatch the 4th quarter of the Buffalo tournament game last season. Coaching malpractice. He doesn't recruit well and his assistants seem to do very little throughout the game. I'm ready to blame DVDM because it was a bad hire. The book is al...

I have liked my interactions with Chmiel. I do not think he really wants to be here. He has tried numerous times to jump ship applying for better jobs. He does not recruit very well. If you think about his great players, they were either Robyn Fralick recruits or players that needed a home late (Ko...

The smoke and mirrors athletics strategy eventually reveals a burning dumpster. In this case Derek’s dumpster fire. Time for a team pet.

The only thing worse than shooting 1-12 from 3 is giving up on shooting them. But a couple of steals have us back to within 7. I'm fairly certain we aren't winning this game if we don't make a couple of threes. Why isn’t Wol getting minutes? Is he a defensive liability? He can at least sink some th...

I will never not be pissed off about that turf. It looks like s**t. I imagine it plays like s**t. IT was sold as this panacea of how much money we'd save to not have actual grass to maintain, while at the same time they replaced acres of gravel parking lots with grass (don't get me wrong, I actuall...

Of course it’s time to replace the turf. But they said 5 year plan on Loeffler to get competitive. Here is a crazy concept. Win. No cats needed. No impressions. Just winning against programs in the MAC who care way more about basketball.

We now enter the phase in the process where all the excuses are about money. Not enough money for new turf. Not enough NIL money. Meanwhile we continue a trend of god awful hiring of coaches and administrators while seldom (almost never) or way after the fact holding them accountable. Make stupid hi...

Good perspective. Sun came up and we’ve got that cat.

Remember when all the Ohio St fans were going to come to games because BGSU hired Eddie George? DVDM and Rodney Rogers went all in on smoke and mirrors. It’s who they are. It was a gigantic flop. The hope now is that our Ohio famous coach can recruit at such a high level BGSU can overcome poor game ...

They did it. They completed the Trifecta of Trash. Losing to Akron, Kent St., and Eastern Michigan in the same season. That would be a fireable offense at BGSU back it was more than a social media click. Way to go.

IF Eddie George’s teams start winning. A big IF

The only defense I have to the schedule is that they challenged themselves in those two exhibition games. Both were played to win, and were very competitive for 70 of the 80 minutes on the road. Combine that effort with the 3-0, and I think this team has the ability to be the best in a long while. T...

Currently at 128 in the KenPom rankings which is the best I can remember it being maybe ever. Sitting only behind just Akron and Miami (OH) in the MAC. Have to stay healthy, but this team plays some serious defense. Will learn a lot next Saturday at Davidson.
