Yes I have not really been on the best class ever band, maybe a little. And not been on the Mooney sucks. I think he has been mediocre to average. I wish he had had the motivation to take that big job in 2012. Instead We have had a mediocre mindset over the program for years. So go ahead and Kevin Bacon all you want and enjoy the mediocrity.
Why return for the SOS, I get the support for the coach, but these are smart kids, go elsewhere for better results.
Sure, if after a frustrating loss that shouldn't happen to a senior-laden team, someone were to just post "BEST CLASS EVER," I can see that. And that's probably its most frequent usage.
Unless I missread NCAA memo, they all have another year of eligiblely? Five years to play four plus one, no?
Interesting. So #theseniorclass cannot transfer for "Year 4" under the COVID rules? They can only return or leave?
Correct. You have to play it at your school or nowhere. I don't know how it works for guys like Burton though. Does he have 3 more years with us but only 2 more if he transfers? Not sure.
The attitude you have is the problem with this program. If you look at the guys UR brought back this year from a 24 and 7 team the previous year you would think that the team would get even better and go on a run like Dayton or SDSU did last year. Guess what, that hasn’t happened. And the only reason for that is poor coaching, you can’t really come up with any other excuse. My football coach in high school used to talk about the natural progression of football all the time, which is where you get better with more experience and continuity year after year, basketball is no different. Would we say that this team has shown an upward trend this year? No we wouldn’t. Losing to Hofstra and La salle does not show that at all. Any other team in the country with UR’s level of experience and talent simply would not lose those types of games, it’s on the coach end of story. He has consistent led this program with an attitude of complacency and softness and we have a massive sample size of that. The fact that this man is still a division 1 head coach is just mind numbing to me.
you do notice the number of favorites losing games each night this year, right? top 25 teams were like 4-6 last night.
Wow, you totally missed my point. And, you are wrong. Plenty of teams with a lot of talent and experience have "bad" losses this year. I mentioned yesterday that only 12 teams ahead of us in the NET who played at least 14 games had fewer than 4 losses, and 14 teams ahead of us had 5 or more losses. Good teams are losing all over the place. Last night, there were 8 ranked teams that played, and 5 of them lost to unranked teams. So, let's stop acting like we are the only team out there with a questionable loss or two.
Last year's team and this year's had similar records and seasons to our 2 sweet 16 teams. Those 2 teams did not have their season stopped before the conference tourney one year or have covid pauses. How is that an excuse? Or, maybe answer this, how was last year's team supposed to win some games in the dance when there never was a dance? Just wondering, would you criticize the 2011 class if the NCAA had no conference tourneys or dance in 2010 and they had 3 covid pauses in 2011? I just don't understand the anger and criticism toward this team this year.4700 pom-poms right now:
Mike speaks from experience. The Spiders had 4 wins *total* in his first three years! But his senior year, we went 7-4.
That might explain the barricades I saw when driving by the Tavern this morning.
Mike Henderson was the best coach I’ve ever had playing any sport. I still am sad that I only got to have him as a coach for one year because he left for the Freeman job after my freshman year. The amount of football I learned from him in one year is unreal. He is a big reason why I’m getting into coaching football.
