You are still a troll.......kind of the definition of an asshat the only pops up after losses.....

NextYearBill Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 it was SIUE.... i grew up in Edwardsville..... this is the rockiest of rock bottom for me.

billiken_roy Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 as to all of last night. i am shocked at the developments of the band. this isnt good and very well might be the end of "the world's greatest pep band and set us back in that regard to the early 80's as far as pep band goes. surely the leadership recognize this. i chose not to suit up with the band last night just because i hadnt been to a game in a couple of weeks and wanted to enjoy the game completely expecting a easy win. instead, the typical ford last quarter collapse happened again. those wanting to exempt both ford and collins are so far off base. collins might be the most selfish player on the team in 40 years. sure his double double looks nice on paper, but i have said numerous times, he is a point guard not the second coming of michael jordan. he is about the last guy who we want to put the winning shot in his hands. but somehow he (and ford) believe he is the man and last night's last five minutes was just atrocious. those saying everyone was standing around, i hate to tell you, that was by design. it was give it to yuri and stay out of the way. and that had no chance of success. the truth is the edwardsville point guard was better that last 5 minutes than yuri. if that hurts you yuri cultists, i am sorry. i am fast losing patience now with ford as well. many were remarking post game about the team being soft with no leader or heart. sure looked that way last night. and there is no excuse for not sticking with perkins when he was obviously having his best night of the year. sure perkins isnt back. he cant play defense, he cant drive very well yet, but man was he feeling it from long distance. ride that horse. my gosh. i am sure there are also plenty upset at okoro last night. but once he got in foul trouble, there wasnt much he could do at that point. but collins had the ball. fail. ford had hot players (parker and perkins) and let them sit. that game is all on collins and ford imo. i have lost confidence in what many felt was going to be "the year" to now almost assuredly being another mediocre year. this so disappointing and i am not looking forward to facing family and friends this weekend who i have been touting this is the year. so f'ing sad and i am so f'ing mad. drkelsey55, Adman, David King and 4 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how you can watch tonight’s game and say that with a straight face Agreed. He can pass. Awesome. He can’t shoot, he can’t drive with authority. He gets torched on defense. His quickness is average at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm not saying there is an actual correlation with his coaching but Ford hasn't been the same since Stuen died We may not even win 20 games this season which is a huge barometer of success for some people for some reason. I think we will but it's not guaranteed. The A10 is down so we still have a chance but a team that loses at home to SIUE probably shouldn't think all is fine just because the A10 is down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 There are a lot of complaints about our offense (which are justified) but I personally think the defense has been awful too.

Not to mention the fact that we continue to allow a shocking amount of open 3-pointers. Is this an effort issue, or a defensive scheme issue?
