jupitertoo Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 Having known French at OU, I'm guessing he's 63. Perhaps he just decided to retire? Well deserved if so. Quote

I know not everyone cared for French and Dunn but just letting him go seems wrong Could I ask what the 2 game times are? Thanks. Quote
Spin Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 So basically as long as this virus BS continues, walk-up fans are screwed. 1 Quote

When you see things like this it is easy to understand why they enjoy each other so much. So much different than that hastily assembled squad in Groce's first year. It also makes it clear that chemistry is something Groce looks at in putting together a team. As I recall, Wynn is not eligible this year due to the transfer rules. 4 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) It's Nov. 2nd - 3 weeks from the start of the NCAA season. Any updates or rumors on the OOC schedule? Edited November 2, 2020 by Let'sGoZips94 1 Quote

LZIp Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 Of course the one game we might me able to actually attend this season falls over Thanksgiving. Quote

It doesn't appear that the site has been updated to reflect this year's field, and although it reflects the COVID attendance changes, I wasn't sure if they changed the format or not. I was looking at Duquesne's forum, and it looks like they were added to Louisville's "bubble". Are there any other P5 schools in our region doing a "bubble"? Quote

Spin Posted November 5, 2020 Report Posted November 5, 2020 Wait, the MAC doesn't want teams to play non-con games, but is OK with a tournament? Is that because there will be a bubble? Quote

Toledo released their nonconference schedule last week and it has multiple home and away games. https://utrockets.com/news/2020/10/27/mens-basketball-rockets-finalize-non-conference-schedule.aspx Quote

Hilltopper, have you by chance seen Toles during practice? Can you describe his involvement/activity/role? Quote

Allow me to clarify something. Toles was initially a scholarship player, but is now a walk-on. So he is not taking up one of the 13 scholarships. What is disappointing is he appears to be a really good guy/talent and he was looking forward to playing for his local team. I am glad he is able to stay involved with the team to some degree, but some us really would love to see him suit up at some point. 1 Quote

As I understand it he can't get clearance to play due to a back condition, but he's a great kid with a great attitude that they want to keep around for his and the team's sake. Somebody closer to the program may have better info. 1 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted November 16, 2020 Report Posted November 16, 2020 GoZips dot com has nothing about the "Beach Bubble" Gulf Coast Showcase. They list our first game as being December 19th at Kent. Quote
