Sick and tired of Donnybrook giving quick fixes for a city none of them live in.

Did you see SeanDonneybrook1987 on X defending Charlie Brennan? Apparently he'd be on the National nightly news right now if not for a case of larengitis back in 1998. It was later found out to be his whipper snapper grandson and ol Charlie said he was just defending his pop pop. Chip off the Ol' block that kid what a great family they must be. He'll probably be backstage at the next taping and I'm sure it'll be a great show.

I’m sick and tired of all the Donnybrook posts—can you people start a thread exclusively devoted to Donnybrook? The rest of us “true fans” have suffered enough!!!

My wife makes fun of me for watching Donnybrook but it’s great. Must see TV. I got my picture taken with Alvin Reid once at the old St Louis Sports Zone sports bar. He thought it was weird I wanted a picture I thought it was weird more people didn’t.

General Outlook.... Dayton comes in with an A+ and a lock on a Dance bid at this time...We remain at C. Had we lost the St. J game we would have dropped to C-. The trend is starting to turn up for The Bills ..at least on offense. ...Second report card in a row where offense was up. Defense is holding ...low and steady. I would like to point out a worrisome stat...one that needs to be fixed if we are to make continued progress. ...Opponent TOs...This hasn't been good all season (9.9 /gm= grade F)...I bring it up now because it is getting worse...In the last 3 games our opponents are averaging 6.3 TOs /gm ...3rd worst ITN over the last 3 games. Generally, if you have 10 TOs/gm you have had a pretty good game UNLESS your opponent is only turning over 6...A negative 4 TO spread is unacceptable . We have to start bothering other teams and get that rate up. It looks like we are making more of an effort but so far it hasn't generated better results...Rant over...fix it. While our overall numbers have improved some...we are still in the PIG pen....1st Priority is to get out of the sty. Let's look at this game to see if we can take a step up. Game Preview....At first glance (and 2nd glance) it doesn't look promising. I haven't put up too many spreads where the Bills are down nearly 20 pts. A win over Day would be a true upset...With my numbers you need to beat a team that is a full 2 letters above you to be an upset...This qualifies. In fact to rush the floor you need to beat a top 25 team...Day is currently 18th on the NET...8th on the Wiz rankings. Although no one will be rushing the floor in Day if The Bills pull off an upset. So is all hope lost...heck no...Where there is a will, there is a way. First let me make a couple of points...We have established that Day is a great team..an A+ team...but we have already played another great team ...A+ and on a neutral floor an even spread with Day...Utah St ...We battled them down to the end of the game and with an additional basket near the end could have pulled it out. So we can play with an A+ team. But how can we beat the Flyers ? Did you know that Day only scores 73.4 pts a game... you say, they only give up 64.5 /gm. Did you know that St J has a better D than Day and we scored 88pts against them...Let's look at the defense cards before both teams played the Bills Def............Day........St. J PPG...........A-...........B+ FG%..........B............A+...6th ITN 3P%..........C+...........A- Reb............B- ..........C AND we scored 88 against St. J So what's the point of this long report on a lopsided game.... For 1 thing , this is what happens when the wind chill drops to -18...hmmm same as the spread.... and my evening was canceled by weather . But the main point here is ...play like you did against St. J (with a few more opp TOs) and we can win this game. Is it a long shot? ...Sure ...but so was scoring 88 pts against St. J. Let's take a look at this game's report card.... Report Card.... The card is positive this game with no categories down and 3 up ...all on offense.... .................SLU............Day................SLU..........................Day ...........................OFF..........................................DEF............. PPG..........C....................C-..................D-............................A- FG%.........C....................B+...................D-...........................B 3P%........A+...16th ITN...A+...5th ITN...D+..........................C+ FT%.........C+....................A-.....................................................

None...Finally Day... Smith....Nov 9....Knee...out for season Padegimes...Jan12...Illness ...questionable Keys to the Game.......Holmes leads the team in PPG...rebs...FG% and blks...stop Holmes ...win the game...also 2 of the hottest shooting 3P teams ITN...which ever team wins this battle will have the upper hand. WWN2D2W...Target slash...50/40/75....Hold Day to 72pts....Match Day on TOs AND Rebs....Keep Brea and Santos under 40% from the arc ....Hold Holmes to 15 pts...no double -doubles for him..... Match team FTM Bottom line.... If we can flood the arc with 3s We can wash away the Day Noah way , you say Then let's make it a 2s day.

MSU (then southwest Missouri state), MU, ILL, and SLU all went to the tournament that year.

This is known as the JLove-breaks-Kenyon Martin’s-leg strategy.

Prefer the F’er from Minnesota. Uncle Sodaberger assistant coach and lead recruiter.

Within the past half hour I went from why would we consider him to being quite intrigued. It is an interesting option that I would like to see explored whenever we move on Ford.

St. Joes foolishly played zone for several possessions in a row. Bills got the ball to the middle, found the open shooter and knocked down shot after shot, making six threes in a row and 9 of 12. Major coaching blunder by Lange. Going 14-15 from the stripe in the second half was huge as well.

Yes he may not be an upgrade….Spoon said you can never have enough point guards…this guy may also play the 2, plus the season doesn’t end of Medley gets hurt. Love that they’re looking at JUCOs.

We haven't offered yet but if he keeps playing like this I understand the interest. I just question whether he's an upgrade over Medley. Put Medley on a juco team where he's allowed to be a volume shooter and I'm sure he would put up numbers too. To upgrade the position, we'll have to land somebody from the portal.

#20 Utah State gets a 5 pt. play with 8 seconds left to take their only lead of the game in an 87-86 road victory over UNLV. USU hit a three and a foul was called on UNLV in a battle for rebounding position. Great Osobor, who went for 24 and 14, knocked down the winning FTs.

You should have Donnybrook sponsor a segment of the Pod.
