The question is, which Ohio team shows up? AND, which Toledo team shows up? If it's the Toledo team that got blasted by Ball State, there is definitely a chance to win this one.
How about the team that beat a now 4-0 Marshall team or an FIU team that just stepped up in a big win?
I'm with you - I'd rather see that version of this team tonight as well. Fingers crossed.
I think we just need that consistency that we got from that DJ/Walt/Ivo senior team core staying together without transfers. DJ, Nick, Ivo, TJ, Rico, Reggie, Stevie -- those guys were 4 year OU players with Walt and Jon mixing in seamlessly. The last few years it seems like we've had the core of Doug and Gavin and that's it. Gollon (hurt), Dartis (hurt), Simmons (transfer), Tone (hurt) but we also have had a ton of guys transfer and not allow for consistency. Look at the best mid-major teams. They always have 6 or 7 guys who are "program" guys. I mistakenly said the other day that Saul doesn't care. I know he cares and I know he can coach. I just know there is something "off" with his recruits and how they fit together.
I will still die for this school and hope we see the "Marshall" Bobcats tonight!!!!!!
