Rick M did not want to schedule Duke - May told him it was buy game and the AD needed the money. That is why he played it.

Exhibition games do not factor in - it is as if we did not play game.

Well I think May had a plan after Majerus but it just was not a good plan. Of course the same could probably be said about the AD at SJU

Your first paragraph makes sense. The second one would not have much of a chance of happening. Third one is good but it would have to be someone who is on their way up and they won't stay long if they are any good unfortunately. I like your last one also. Overall I could get behind your post.

Hard to say but I would say it was not a bad crowd size given the opponent. The problem for me is it is hard for me estimate crowd size when the student section is not that full a people are sitting up high.

This is silly - Gates has a big-time recruiting class coming for next year. Now if he drops the ball with his coaching next year then they may very well look for a new coach but not now.

SLU has always been a bit stingy on replays. I would have hoped they would have shown the challenge replay which is usually what happens most everywhere else but atlas no.

If you would have read the posts you would know that I was responding to someone who said we should expect to have an off game in the OCC against weaker teams. No one said we lost the game. As far as how much wiggle room we have I think it is clear not much - see ISU two years ago as an example. If you don't really care if we make the Dance then fine that is your business. In some of our fan base the Dance is the goal. Nobody is making you feel unhappy you are the only one who has control over your feelings. While I have said you can feel about the season anyway you want you should allow the rest of us to feel the way we want instead of dictating to us.

Just because it happens doesn't mean it must. We all know that we have very little wiggle room here so losing a game like this is not something we can afford to happen. It is just what the committee is looking for to leave us out.

That would make him in his 60s - I believe he was a walk on

Schertz said they would be back 12/26 and practicing at 4pm

Well I am not sure what you are trying to say - all I said was that he had two awful TOs.

That will only work if we let it and Coach was saying the same thing. We control our own destiny by not forgetting what we do well.

He made 2 awful TOs at critical times that has to stop.
