Worse. That was a home game for CSU.

Either you are also being sarcastic, or you missed my sarcasm. 

I took this thread to be parody -- light-hearted and  designed to make people laugh. To me, that's something like The Onion.

Sarcasm, in my opinion, is more along the lines of Bill Maher or for the old timers, Don Rickles. It takes skill and intellect, but it's not my cup of tea.

Cleveland State is a very solid team, with a decent resume. Their 2nd loss to a good Valpo team speaks to how challenging it is when the conference schedule rolls around. This is also what Murray State learned vs. a Tennessee State team that is playing pretty well right now. I'm sure the scouting is much more thorough for these games and the personnel/coaches know each other very well. The teams that are best up to the challenge and have the fewest speed bumps end up at the top of the league. I hope we are one of those teams down the stretch.

BTW -- I think the #1 ranked Valpo women's bowlers may be the worst 62-28 team in the nation. They  finished 7th at the Prairie View A&M Invitational last weekend. The Crusaders are off the next couple of weeks and I'm sure they're working hard to get ready for upcoming tournaments. I met some of these student/athletes at MDW on the way back from our game vs. NIU. I popped over to the Valpo website to see how they did in Texas.

Go, Ohio!

I'm getting tired of people say so and so is the worst (insert record) team in the country.  I believe whom ever is 0-20 or whatever is the worst team in the country.  Don't get me wrong I understand what you are saying but everyone is beatable at anytime.  I am glad we are 19-5 which means we have a tremendous chance of being a 20 win season which hasn't happen for a long time. 

Sure I am upset with the loss to Toledo but it was at Toledo and I kept saying how scary that game would be.  But, we will bounce back, I am sure of it.  No, I am positive of it. 

We have actually had 20 win seasons recently, just not before the conference tournament.  I'm sure that's what you meant though.

Wait a minute, Jeff.  So now you ARE saying that CSU had an "off" night in losing to the now-#1 team in the Horizon league? Still seems like you're trying to draw parallels to our "off" night in Toledo.  And my point is that the situations are about as far from analogous as they could be.  Was it sarcasm? Parody?  What game are you playing exactly?

I disagree.   Valpo was #2 in the league at the time (11-3), now #1.  Toledo not so much.

Cleve St. RPI 58/Valpo 103

Ohio 89/Toledo 265

And it could be easily argued that the manner in which we lost (see 15-0 lead) makes the outcome so much worse, pointing a stronger finger of blame at our coaching staff.  CSU came out and was just flat-out bad against a fairly evenly matched team.  We collapsed (no other word for it) against a team with a 265 RPI.

Jeff and I can agree on one point: Waters is a hell of a coach.  I wish we had him.










 

I got the sarcasm and parody right away. Liked it, Jeff.

  I gotta click the "Like" button on that.

Nice.  But he's got much more hair.

OCF has rebuked me before for my clumsy, poorly constructed sarcasms.  I just need to be nice all the time.
