Need to chop a few heads the day after the team loses to PSU. Need a new OC who emphasizes off ball movement, cutting, pick setting, etc and a DC who isn't a waste of a staff pick. The offense is a total limp dick in a half field setting.
expectations certainly get higher after you've been to a Final Four. And they haven't been met
I wasn’t expecting another Final 4 but I was expecting not to finish last back to back years. That’s not a high bar.
What does that have to do with anything? Ever heard of the terminology continuous improvement? If you aren't innovating at all times, you're becoming obsolete. What was innovative in 2022 is caveman style of play in 2024.
I think with most level headed fans this is the concern. Without impact transfers it puts the onus on recruiting and while Stoller and Kurdyla are special, a team needs to go much deeper than that year over year.
No idea on the time but it's almost certainly going to be on BTN+. BTN has an Iowa-Nebraska baseball game at 2:15 p.m. and then re-plays of the Maryland and Rutgers spring games on at 6 and 8. I see BTN+ is offering a 1-month free trial, though.
The fascination with replaying spring football is mind boggling to me. Guess it’s cheap.
The fascination of replaying the 1986 orange bowl and all things Michigan and Ohio State on repeat is also mind boggling. Especially when there is no shortage of live or more timely and relevant action.
Women finish 6th as well (next to last). AWFUL spring for RU lax barring a minor miracle in either tournament. Period. Now...we're gonna have up-and-downs, no question, but 2 years in a row neither team makes the tournament with the men coming off a Final 4 run and women getting to the 2nd round in '22:
Men - 51st (out of 73) in team scoring with 6 losses and 1 win vs Top 20 (current)
Women - 63rd (out of 100) with 8 losses to teams in the Top 21 (current)
On the other hand:
Men - 30th Team D
Women - 52nd Team D (not great either....)
I'll leave the analysis to the experts but we know key injuries played a part in this year's issues on the men's side (and maybe the upper classes not performing but they were pre-final 4???) and the women got hit hard by graduation, IIRC? Unfortunately Cassidy Spilis is gone after this year so hopefully there's some scoring and D on the way and/or already in the program.
Never said the 2 of them didn't play very well. How do you feel, however, the JR and SR classes have played overall? That was my point (could have elaborated better). If they were excelling I'd like to think we'd have more than TWO WINS in conference the past 2 seasons. Wouldn't you?
Again, injuries suck, but everyone gets injuries and that’s where the depth comes in to play, agree? So my assumption is that the depth among the two upper classes just wasn’t/isn’t there.
If you think building better depth isn’t important I don’t know what to say to you, hence, “okay.”
