What’s the excuse for tonight?

Feel free to recycle the one’s used multiple times over the previous 3 years.

Stop Brian. If you want Ford fired you’re the worst fan ever.  Good thing you aren’t making decisions, you don’t know anything. (Is blue font even necessary?)

[MattyMo213]

I’ve been fairly neutral on Ford over the last few seasons, but the repeated double digit second half losses are absolutely unforgivable. Tonight is no exception and it’s just becoming the norm now

Me and my guy @mrjoelabs were the first people with pitch forks. 
 

welcome to the club.

Crews was 4-0 against SIUE.

I guess my excuse would be Jimerson going 1-11 on open looks.

I guess that’s an excuse? 
Either way that was gross.

Unless there is a miracle it’s time to move on.

I'll say it. We have no leader(s) on this team. See nothing on the floor to indicate we have one. Miss JGood

[stmdragons]

There isn’t one. I will always appreciate what Ford did to get us back to relevancy but it’s clear to me that a change is needed. This program has been stuck in neutral for too long and it’s time to find someone who can get us to the next level.

Crews was 4-0 against SIUE.

Can we bring him in to coach against the cupcakes?  Because Travis doesn’t have it in him

Agree completely.

Its not that they lost tonight. I mean that’s a big part of it but the blowing another huge lead is what really gets me.

This.

Nobody wants the ball in crunch time.

They all just stand around waiting for Yuri to make a play.

I don’t know if this is by design or because they all get a case of the thigh cheeks.

 

[brianstl]

Part of the problem is we only managed one tournament with Goodwin and Ford.

Rough night for you

[Fraz]

I’ve been pro-ford but today is the day.  It’s a shame that one of the best point guards in college basketball history is rotting away on this team

[brianstl]

Anyone think we can get a home game in the CBI?

[JMM28]

On the bright side, SIUE +16 was the easiest money of the century. A well coached team versus a terribly coached team.

KU -3.5 at Mizzou was some easy money a couple of weeks ago, too.

I don't want to make this so the pro Ford crowd becomes so entrenched in their positions so pitting 1 group v another by pointing out they were wrong doesn't help. 

I understand looking at the recruiting and 20 win seasons and thinking things are going in the right direction. 

However, I started to notice the cracks and lack of improvement despite the experience and talent.  The team just never seemed to have consistent effort. 

Chris Mack makes a lot of sense.  Is UofL still paying him a salary?  If so depending on his deal maybe they can cover most of his pay for a few years.  I know interesting structured deals have been done by other teams.

I’m praying that Oklahoma falls flat this season. Please come back home, Porter.

[RiseOfTheBillikens]

Siue..... So embarrassing. I wanna hide all my SLU stuff
