I think Groce generally deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I agree with you. Whether it’s a starter or not, I don’t think anyone besides the 5 should be taking up valuable minutes for defense unless it’s Tribble-level OR situational. Since the lineup change has been made, we feel more like the same old Zips rather than a dangerous team that can drop 90-100 on you any given night. And i’ve heard Groce’s comments about not getting worked up about starting lineup changes. I agree, but my eyes tell me the team has not looked as good recently with the rotation changes. We’re in conference play now. Our defense should look better by default with some of the bum teams we’re playing. How much is competition vs lineup change? I know our offense has taken a step back.

Not looking too promising for Cheatom.

FBS vs FCS would be my guess

Sure glad he didn’t. Especially since it hasn’t looked like Young took a step forward this year.

I’ve never thought of him as a bad defender. Guess I’ll have to pay closer attention.

We look gassed.

Yup. Game seems a little fast for him.

I say play Eric more. He seems to make plays in all facets of the game.

Not sure what Travis is all so worked up about.

We need DL help and I think he’s a borderline all conference player. I’d take him back.

Just from my casual perusing of twitter, seems like OU is losing A LOT of players to the portal. Decent amount for Toledo and a couple key guys for Miami as well.

What a disappointing addition umASS is looking to be to the MAC. Putting a lot of money into football and can’t win a game. Basketball is looking more mid to lower tier of the conference rather than a contender.

Better be ready to guard the 3 Saturday. Miami moneyline was too easy.

I would have to imagine the win probably locks it in for him. Must be nice to be able to consistently promote from within and maintain your program.

Toledo had a mid-season ranked Louisville on the ropes yesterday and Ohio beat UNLV who was in the running for a playoff spot late in the season. On top of what WMU did to kennesaw state, feels like a very strong showing for the MAC so far.

Man this is going to happen to us every single year barring some likely unrealistic elevation of the program. College sports are not in a good position right now, especially for the “have nots”.

Dang. Looks like we’ll be moving forward with a completely new starting 5..

Thats a grown man game. Have to give Pinkie credit in one area - he tends to always have a flat out baller on his team.

UMASS opens their first conference game with a 10 point loss to Kent State. OU down by 15 mid-way through the 2nd to BG. Have to think this might be Boals’ last season with the program if it keeps trending this way.

I honestly didn’t realize we had a game until my buddy texted me around halftime. Friday rather than Saturday threw me off

Way for WMU to represent. I don’t know if I’d consider them the most talented team in the MAC (in fact I think they were picked pretty low preseason), but drilled CUSA’s media darling. Love it.

Definitely minor compared to Michigan, but IF he cheated on his wife with a student, I think that’s a big deal (though I realize there are disputing facts on this). If that didn’t happen (as well as nothing else not yet reported), agree the case OU has is VERY weak. I don’t know why they’d want to go out of their way to get rid of him though. Sustained OU’s success and beat WVU.
