So many emotions right now. Actually, mostly anger. I'm angry at particular people who were never heard from 2 years ago who have made this board completely unreadable and have made the same points about 1,000,000 million times and are as predictable as a Caleb McConnell three point attempt. I'm really pissed at Pike for what is obvious now - this b.s. in saying this was his best team ever. It's evident now that he was hypersensitive to the criticism of losing Myles and JY and not finding suitable replacements. The nonsense about this being his best center depth which was ridiculous from the start. All of this b.s. to fend off the tiniest bit of criticism of his recruiting. He wrote checks that his players can't cash and because he overrated them so much, they'll bear a huge burden for this disaster. They're easy targets. When they turned out to NOT be his best team ever once the games started how did he expect to weather that storm? I'm pissed at writers like Jerry Carino as well for buying into the nonsense and setting what is again obviously totally and wildly unrealistic expectations for us, the fans. 22-9? Really? Every other team in America has guys that can shoot threes. We do too. But unlike those other teams, our shots don't go in. Every other team seems to have guys that are hard to guard and can either draw a foul or be a threat from deep. We simply cannot stop the opponent's drives without fouling. And we must have set an NCAA record already for the most fouls on three point attempts. I read someone else's comments elsewhere that he needs a break from RU's revenue sports. I've seen a lot in almost 40 years and think I'm with him/her. I think the guys on RU Screw Podcast were right on when they mentioned something like this flame out is robbing us long time fans from our victory lap (or something like that). To lose three games already is just hard to take in a season when we were destined to sell the most tickets in the 45 year history of the RAC. Sad. I don't want to hear they were all one possession games either. So was Lehigh and we got the W in that one. I've been living in the moment for the past two years with this team and not getting obsessed with recruiting etc. but things sure look bleaker than bleak now. Wasn't expecting the season to be completely over before December. Wow.
I need a T.O. from this program.
