To summarize the positives from the presser:
1. They had only 3 penalties
2. The placekicking was good
3. They got peeled so badly that some young guys got game experience
If Joe Dunn ever gives up this sports gig he has a real future as a funeral director.
Unless Bowman expanded his offense to include an ability beyond being a long range shooter and improved his defense, I could see him having less of a role on this year's team given its current composition.
And back to my original point, I don't understand the logic of maintaining a persistently bad football program for the sake of the basketball program.
Okay, back to football. ZipsNation is re-entering the Groundhog Day zone.
I'm not suggesting that there's a perfect conference for UA sports. I'm proposing that a conference that makes demands that are inconsistent with UA's needs may not be a good home, or needs to change to become a better home for its schools. That's even more true with the current direction of college athletics.
This conversation invariably brings the discussion about how UA can't be in the MAC without an FBS football team and the impact that could have on the basketball program. I say it's about time we started considering other alternatives to a one bid conference where half of the schools make no effort to put out a reasonable basketball program. I've seen enough Michigan directionals for the rest of my life.
