The excitement was way higher as that team had the look of a top 25 team that could make a sweet 16 run. This group is fun to watch! Happy to see the mo building with this team. The way the can score they can absolutely win a tourney game.

Happy to see Bryce get this opportunity. He's an awesome person. https://www.cleveland.com/highschoolsports/2025/01/bryce-jones-is-back-home-as-cleveland-heights-new-football-coach.html

What a great team win! I know that Groce typically gets more out of his teams as the season progresses but I did not see this coming defensively. Very impressed with Lyles's ability to finish as a rim runner. It adds another dimension to their sets. I've been waiting for Nate to become the next Jimmy Conyers and we might be seeing that now. I've been critical of Tavari in the past so I have to give him his flowers. He's way more productive when he's looking to facilitate. Opens things up for the team and his game too. This team is fun to watch

Dudes gonna be 24 in April and this will be his 7th year playing ball.

When do we see JG give more minutes to Young? Tavari has a place on this team but the offense has a much better flow when the ball is in Youngs hands.

Have to win games consistently to get students and the city remotely interested. Can't do that with the way the AD has scheduled over the past 7-10 years. It's a chicken and egg debate.

Back in April I received a generic email about a deadline to renew my season tickets. Failure to act would result in me losing my seats. The problem with the outreach is that I had downgraded my tickets to GA the previous year. I was so disappointed by the lack of attention to detail I chose to reply and cc the AD. I noted that with a season ticket base as small as ours, it shouldn't be hard to have personalized outreaches. I also mentioned why I had downgraded my tickets and was disappointed in the lack of commitment to the football program. I referrernced the OSU game and OOC scheduling. I said if they changed their ways I'd be more than happy to purchase 4 club season tickets. The rep emailed me back, apologized for lack of detail, and offered to say hello at a game. The AD never responded. I never thought an AD would do a worse job than LW but here we are. Whomever the new AD is needs to understand fundraising and marketing. Hopefully the president gets this due to his background.

Need to pull the RG and RT they also look shook.

Need to pull Finley. He looks shook. This game is beyond frustrating.

Good- only 2 penalties Bad - 3rd down D Good - 2nd half o line/Finley's footwork Bad- 1st half o line Good - punter/kicker Bad - shanked punt The team took a step in the right direction but it's still not enough. Coach's frustration during the post-game was noticeable. I feel for the TE but man does that sum up this team.

Anyone tailgating for this one?

Igor hit one from 50 to win a game if my memory is correct. Then he said he was gonna get drunk on the post-game.

Also UCONN is an independent in football. Hockey they are in the Hockey East Conference. Everything else is BE

I don't remember the details either but he definitely watched the MAC tournament from the stands his last year.

@kreed5120 I stand corrected. Thought that change was made across the board.

You get 5yrs to play 4. He played 13 min his first year. He would have qualified. The redshirt rule is never a line in the sand like it used to be. I bet with the nose, concussions, and mental health he would have got it. @Zippy87 Totally agree that will always be the top "What if" team. They had it all.

Enrique was a true 5 yr player. Ali probably could've received a medical red shirt during his year at Butler. At least I think that's right. IMO aside from the 20 team the one that leaves me with lots of "What if's" is the 22/23 team. Add Ali back to that mix as a 3rd option with X at point and you've got the makings of a top 25 team.

Looks like he placed 5th tonight

Sam Amico was on 92.3 today. Mentioned how well Freeman has been shooting in his workouts. Stock is way up and could see him going in the late first.

Hard to keep track of all this movement. Will they have a completely new O Line then? Thanks for all your work on this @Catdaddyp
