I like WHit. I think he has a chance to right the ship but He has to start something going in the right direction. Natives getting restless

I hate to chime in but the truth of the matter is Whitcomb is no coach. Why did they extend his contract? No point guard. Kid your right Person has to have the ball also unfortunately no one else we have available can bring the ball up. A team of shooters is what we have. While we will look good record wise going into the MAC based on the schedule we are middle of the pack in the west at best.

It seems like BSU attracts ADs that are delusional on what the fanbase considers a successful season. They extended Taylor after BSU "won" the MAC West by default at 7-9. Now Whitford gets 3 more years due to going 10-8 in the MAC and a CIT appearance which to me is no different than your average Tim Buckley era season, except that 3rd tier meaningless tournament didn't exist in 2003-04/2004-05.

Say I'm crazy but I still say even after a very bad loss that we will be tough in the MAC, but we need Tyler back...and while Francis is not a point guard I'm not certain he does not lead the team better as its quarterback than Persons. And, I believe statistically he turns it over less...take out the stupid IU Kokomo game where Persons padded his stats. Tyler is a scorer not just a shooter...

Not only is Tyler a mediocre ballplayer he is selfish ass-clown who should have been kicked off the team. Seriously, how delusional are you ?

I've generally been supportive of Whitford. Thought last year was too soon for the extension, for exactly the reasons we've seen this year. I'm officially in the "he needs to go" camp now. 0-3 against the Indiana teams we play in year 4 is not acceptable. Billy Taylor could do that.

Now we're counting on the guy who's afraid to play Fort Wayne to step up. Being a Ball State fan will continue to be a painful experience.

This Balls team, in a way, looks like past O'Shea Ohio teams. Good bigs, good wings, so-so guards.

Thanks for linking the new one. I was wondering where all their fans had gone.

I like Whitford as well but going 0 for Indiana, with two of the games at home, isn't going to make their fanbase all that happy. I might be offbase but I'm predicting that Tayler Persons will become the most disliked opposing player in the MAC pretty quickly.
