I agree. How can it be this bad? It's not like we have Zake Keikow and Coery what's his name at point. Man this is tough to watch.

Has the team lost it's fire?

Does anyone see any wins on the schedule? I just came from watching Marietta, I'm not sure we could beat them if we played them again.

Thank goodness we can beat someone.

Correct, we have not played Ball State or Miami yet.

But those are the two teams we have the best chance of beating right now.

Physically this team is amazing it looks like none of the post players have ever been in a weight room other than Campbell in their lives and it shows as teams push them around.
Mentally they look like they are disinterested. I was shocked as I sat close to the floor last night at the lack of emotion and teaching from Saul during the game. This season can't end soon enough for me. Tough watch.

The "Bean" just unloading on twitter. Don't get caught up in Twitter smack, but tough to ignore.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the team has a leadership problem and I believe it starts with the top.

Saul, the assistants, the seniors, the walk ons, and on down... I saw zero energy last night.

There was no intensity, next to no execution, and even worse they didn't seem to care. It looked like they all had some place they'd rather be.

Leadership starts with an example and there seems to be no example on this team.

Lose to Northern Illinois at home. What makes anyone think this squad can win at Ball State?

I didn't see the game, nor have I seen any game this year. I keep seeing comments such as "didn't play with intensity" or "lacked fire" or "disinterested". I don't buy that at all. Sometimes the other team is better and fans somehow think if their team just ramped it up emotionally they would win the game. These young men want to win and they play hard. The highlight of their day and week and year is to play in the game.

Appreciate the thought and what you are saying there. Fans of all programs are absolutely bonkers and have, seemingly, very little tolerance for coaches, players, programs, ADs and the like who may not be peforming to their perceptions and (unreal) expectations. Can't say how many times on many boards I have seen "lack of effort", "outcoached", "can't beat a D2", "mid major player, coach (insert whatever) at a high major school""what is our offensive (or defensive) philosophy". All those are comments made in emotional states by many who are not analysing and are venting or placing blame on coaches who do not go out on the floor and execute the game plan or they can't actually see what is going on and why. In any case, just got to take the rowl and rabble with the moment and keep the eye on the prize. You are right. The coaches and players all want to do well. The way they are approaching thngs is not always together and personalities are often clashing. Moulding the team and coming together is how you get there. We are aways away.

I aam flabbergasted you have not seen a game this year. That leaves a big void in the point of reference in the future and regarding the past. There are a lot of times I find my voice quiet on a subject because I was not here. Seems odd to read the board and not be interested enough to watch the product.
