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.

If you heard Coach's short post game show with Rammer and Earl he was none too happy. I actually expected this - our defense was not consistent and he made that point. Our defense did not allow for us to get our offense in a rhythm as he noted. The couple times we got double digit leads we pissed them away with our undiscipline play. Our offense made to many bad decisions with the ball as Coach also noted as evident to him by how many blocked shots we had. As I said he was not happy with the energy. As a coach he doesn't want bad habits to set in and that is what can happen when the team doesn't come prepared for the game and takes it for granted - his words.

Scared and/or he has forgotten where he comes from.

The problem is in our country media businesses are willing to bow to the powers to be and that is COMO in Missouri. Look at Drink complaining that Fortune 500 companies are not giving the football program enough support even though they do provide revenue to the program. The big boys will never rest unless they have the entire pie. Competition is bad because it requires organizations to compete and work hard. Look up the recent antitrust case that was dropped with Pepsico and Walmart colluding to make competitors of Walmart pay more the Pepsico product then Walmart. Walmart's plan was to put smaller competitors out of business. Missouri would be just fine with any programs that compete with the Tigers go away.

I understand but the reality is the odds are working against but as you said - what choice do we have at this point but to play on.

So basically, unless we win virtually all our in conference games P4 teams will pass us by.

Your reason given for why BC plays these games is only part of it - they also want the pay day they get as a buy game.
