Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
Cold shooting is usually a result of good defense, not giving up wide open shots and layups. Have we seen that lately?

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
I tried. I did.
I really thought if I put out some public rahrah posts that it would get me jazzed up.
If I’m being honest I faked it like a prostitute.
Thankfully I was never as invested as I tried to get myself to be.
Pathetic but I feel nothing.
For the first time since 2012 I feel no emotion, no connection to this program and I honestly could care less.
Years past I would be in a state of shock/depression/anger and would see the world in black and white without happiness for days.
Today I missed most of the first half because I went to get a new driver fitted.
It’s pathetic that this team has fallen to a point of irrelevance in my life that I’m just going to go on with my day as if this never happened.
Good riddance.

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
I feel the same way. Normally I'd be pissed and heartbroken. I feel bad for Fatts for it to end this way and for the past 3 seasons of poor coaching he got. Other than that, I don't care. I don't know what it will take to bring me back in, but a lot of things would have to change. I think a lot of people feel this way. Take notice, Thorr.Blue Man wrote: ↑3 years ago I tried. I did.

We fought hard leading at times in the 1h and cutting a 9 point halftime lead to 1 in the 2h
Watson was on fire for them and they pulled away
Dayton minus the small spread was easy money

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
Remember how excited we were for the season to start? And the opportunity to play Arizona St on ESPN. And all the games at Mohegan...man did that go up in smoke. Need to turn this around next year. No more excuses.

After Malik went on that tear and then Cox kept him on the bench it was the beginning of all the BS that was to come.

ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD.
I'll never let you go Fatts, I'll never let you go!
and with this the 2020-2021 Rams season is finally over. a very Titanic season. Will the Captain, David Cox, hop in the life raft like the cowardly captain of the Titanic or will he stay on board and try to take accountability?

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
I thought the BC loss was a bad one at the time. If you are an A10 team with tourney hopes, you need that win. On 12/13 we lost to W.Kentucky...that was very telling.

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
All the signs were there late last season....
Even in the games we won earlier this season, we weren't consistently good.
Sorry, but I saw this coming....maybe injuries helped make it worse, but we would still have faltered.

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
Inability to keep Tyrese Martin and Jacob Toppin at URI hurt this season. The 5 transfers were not expected to be eligible, but even as all 5 were approved, they still could not fill the gap left behind by those 2 projected starters.rambone 78 wrote: ↑3 years ago All the signs were there late last season....

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
Come on Ramster. All of the transfers are better than those two. They area all better than the second coming of Jesus Christ. you didn't know that. I said it last year something stunk about those two leaving. But nooooo Cox got better players and we were going to win the national championship if they were eligible.ramster wrote: ↑3 years agoInability to keep Tyrese Martin and Jacob Toppin at URI hurt this season.

I am right back emtionally, to where I was with Baron, not going to go out of my way to watch or go to games as long as Cox is the coach. Enjoy the 3,500 or less and 1/2 a student section.

Here’s some optimism. There’s always next season. I’m being half sarcastic because most* of this year sucked, but they’ll be back. We’ll have another shot to get this program right, and I’ll be at the Ryan Center with my 8$ beer. Go Rhody

Re: It Can Be Done...A Wild Tale of Optimism
Anybody wanna guess how we would have been if the other Mitchell hadn't gotten injured? Under this coach maybe an extra win or two. Cox would have messed up the rotations for him, Makhel, and Walker. Jermaine Harris would still see the floor which would be insane when you have those three.class of 86 wrote: ↑3 years ago Anybody wanna guess how we would have been if the other Mitchell hadn't gotten injured?Gotta love how Cox went out and got the Arizona state game in the Wisconsin game and all those transfers?What if we had played and beaten fairly Dickinson and Radford instead and had 2 more wins on the schedule would everybody still be so glum?What if Cox goes out and gets another transfer or 5 year student who was a all-American someplace else and a sha rp shooter?We had a bunch of young players who had no chemistry and and defered too much to fatts rather than trying to develop themselves.Let's hope that Hoss get down his brother's ass and gives him a few tips on how to improve
Gotta love how Cox went out and got the Arizona state game in the Wisconsin game and all those transfers? Everyone praised Cox for scheduling those games. We all thought they would prepare us for the A10. Instead, we ended up 10th...
What if we had played and beaten fairly Dickinson and Radford instead and had 2 more wins on the schedule would everybody still be so glum? Yes, our fanbase isn't stupid. We all know beating two weak teams means nothing. Don't forget that most of us witnessed Jim Baron do this all the time.
What if Cox goes out and gets another transfer or 5 year student who was an all-American someplace else and a sharp shooter? Let me get this straight. An All-American player that has the option to go anywhere in the country is going to decide to come to us? Sure, yes Cox would get plenty of credit for that.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
