Nothing is more impressive than the chewing tobacco Blueram brings to the games. I've seen it and I love it! I don't chew as much as I did in college, but every now and then, it really does hit the spot. I don't drink or smoke or anything so coffee and tobacco every now and then is the best I got. ...

And no way Alabama should get in ahead of Texas. They played, Texas won, doesn’t matter when the game was played

UCH21377

This year is the perfect example of why an expanded playoff is required. Yes Alabama Georgia and OSU are probably all better than FSU right now. But they all lost. FSU didn’t. They won their major conference plus beat LSU and Florida. I understand the quarterback thing but the team won all their gam...

I hate to say this but maybe we are not that good. Less then .500 in A10 play. We came back against Yale but what is the reality of the team. maybe we are a .500 team or less. We will not play another team this good the rest of the season, neither at home or on the road. This will be the highest ra...

It should be the 3 undefeated teams plus Texas but I doubt that will happen.

UCH21377

To places like Albany, yes. I hear you, but sometimes they go to places like Kentucky. Don't think we have any Toppins on the roster, but I think we need to see some more of these guys before burying them on the bench for the sake of a tight rotation. Especially since it sure looks like that while ...

And in this age guys don't "look longingly from the bench", they transfer.

UCH21377

In any case, I liked it better when Harrick was "old school" like apparently Dan Hurley is and had 8 established players he goes to war with, and the rest of the team looked longingly on from the bench and daydreamed, hey, that could be me one day. Sure beats the hodge podge, helter skelt...

UCH21377

Not sure where you got Brown was awful, he had 15 minutes compared to our other bigs and if it wasn’t for Brown the first half coming in with minimal time left we would have more than likely lost by 30. He was our only big holding off any of the North Western bigs. The guards need to have some visi...

UCH21377

Rice played very well in the first game but injured his ankle late. Their other guard played well also. We will be giving up size in the front court again. But Miss St pushed their guys around.

Thank you very much Jay!

I’m in town and also looking for a ticket also if anybody has one

UCH21377

They looked much much better than last year with skill upgrades across the board. I want to see these guys against a little better competition before going crazy with praise. Getting to the rim against good teams will not be quite so easy as it was last night. But all in all a very good start. Alway...

Yes I went in there and saw my draft was an A+. Maybe I should never do my own drafting. Anyway I’m going to cut a couple guys and add some others to bring my projection down.

UCH21377

Unfortunately I am going to miss the draft tomorrow night; travelling. I will be active going forward.

UCH21377

I know and you kmow playing those teams is not like playing a rivalry game. I doubt there are any teams that play twice that are not in the same conference anymore. You're probably right. But if we flip that reasoning on its head for a second, think about this... What if URI vs. PC (and New Mexico/...

It’s possible the IRS will disqualify the collectives as nonprofit. That could slow things down

Enjoy your semi-retirement Blueram! I'm heading south myself (NC for me) this fall and have maybe one more year of season tickets after about 15 years of going to almost every home game with one of the kids (all grown now) and/or my wife. Will definitely make any Davidson game once I've moved.

I have a colleague who is a season ticket holder for them. Basically said he had a number of down games, but when he was on his game he was very good

I agree, I hope the frosh are good, as we all do. But man it’s hard to get excited about them when you basically know nothing about them and all you have is Archie’s less than excellent recruiting from last year to go by. We were told last year’s recruiting disappointment was because he and Kenny w...

UCH21377

To me it's their depth that sets them apart. They're bringing an active 7' guy with skill off the bench; plus a couple shooters and a defensive specialist, who can all handle the ball. The starters can all handle and shoot the ball. No weak spots, other than Jackson's outside shooting. But I have a ...

Supposedly he was part of a bit of fracture in their locker room.

I heard there was a split in the team too

Bottom line was 9-22, and not a ton of talent on board yet.

UCH21377

We are at the beginning of this rebuild. Ish leaving did not impact it since we were 2-3 years out anyway. But the time is now to start bringing in some talent. The coach has stated it. This off-season is critical; he has to get things moving in the right direction.

I’m actually not far from Charlottesville tonight. 40 degrees and raining; not exactly baseball weather

Bassy had 16 points on 5-13 shooting, 2-4 from three, 4 assists and 3 steals. Ish had 14 points (less), on 5-13 shooting (same), 2-4 from three (same), 2 assists (less) and 2 steals (less). No, our best player didn't have his usual game, but the guy a lot of you dump on had a better game than our b...

Bigs need time to develop so yes I feel we need to be patient with Tchikou in particular, and maybe Foumena. I am not as high on the others as some here. As for the wings and guards, truly good ones generally contribute their freshman year. Ish did, EC, Terrell, Dowtin etc. We need an massive infus...

Marquette with a big win at Creighton last night. Wish we could get a point guard like theirs. Ugh.

Saw the real thing up in Boston in a theatre setting last year which was great. Probably the last time for those guys. Will have to check out the cover band.

Haven't read the thread. We gave it our best shot. It didn't work out. Not much more to say.

UCH21377

SLU, Dayton and VCU all have core program players. Complimented by transfers. That is the upper tier. Filling an entire roster with transfers that turn over year over year isn’t it. Agree. That's why we're probably 3 years away from being good. There no stated timeline for when we will be good We w...

I think it is finding the right combination of both and let's not forget the juco's. Recruiting in the HS/prep ranks will always be extremely valuable.

A real PG
A big wing AKA a 3
A 4
And a 5.

Find that we should be in the top 3rd of the A10 next year.

The unfortunate part of this post is that it is correct. Definitely need a PG and a big; maybe two. Hoping Weston can help on the wing.

UCH21377

I’m surprised at how many people are down on Freeman. I agree he’s not a pure point guard but he can get to the rim and score. Our options are so limited on offense there will be some bad shots. Ish threw a couple prayers up too but got the fouls called.

UCH21377

They fought hard hung in there and had a chance to win. Sure no moral victories but everyone put in full effort. Freeman forced a few but that’s our game right now. We need his scoring plus Ish to have any chance to win. That will lead to some forced/ugly shots.

UCH21377

The NIL, new transfer rules/portal, expansion of the P5/scheduling, are bigger obstacles now. I think this is a lot bigger problem for mid-major conferences that most have yet to realize. Time will tell. Agree. I am afraid that football money will enable the lower level D1 football schools/conferen...

This was a "burn the tapes" kind of game. Nothing went right. Literally nothing. No one played good. Really, no one even stood out as "average" - like missed shots, dumb decisions, everyone was flat. From the coach on down last night was a forget and move on. I still wonder abou...

That was ugly. Without Carey we pretty much have no chance. Nothing more to say.

UCH21377

The size and engagement of the crowd was really impressive. Arch had to notice; and think about what it can be when we get good.
