How in the hell can he say âthey are emerging as a contender in C-USAâ. Havenât even played a conference game and we are emerging as a contender. He has greener goggles than BurritoSlayer. However, it would be nice if true.
We are undefeated so far 
. In all seriousness, I hope we kill it. I donât want to wait for the crash cart to try and jump start the program again.
Color me skeptical, but Iâll be glad to admit I was wrong.

~how can we be pessimistic and fire our coach with this uplifting story?~ 
Translation for the contender comment: âIâm too busy, lazy, etc to do the research necessary to surmise that so far UAB is deserving of their preseason status as C-USA MBB favorite.â
Tha too being said, things do look pretty wide open after the Blazers and LA Tech.
Just win the tournament and weâre in. Whatâs the problem?
I think UAB, NT and LA Tech are probably the three best teams right now. I would probably lump us in the next group with WKU & MTSU and as it turns out that is basically what the NET rankings say. The first group is less 100 and the next is between 100 and 150 with us currently at 148.

After many years of bitching about coverage, we are now bitching because a reporter is a âhomerâ.
Every place else âhomerâ reporting is the norm.

Iâm not at all upset with Hunterâs optimism, though I am cautious about it. I am still in âbelieve it when I see itâ mode.
Also, @NinerWupAss makes a good point:

FWIW, Duke still requires proof of vaccination or negative test to enter Cameron, plus masks are mandatory once inside regardless of status. And per Wisemanâs observations, the latter is being enforced.
Is this a change? I havenât been paying attention.

Gross but Davidson has its best record at this point in the season since the late 70s. Theyâve won an NCAA leading 11 straight.
Nevertheless, Duck them.

610 drooling all over davidson and McKillop this morning. Best start in fifty years, yada. I do expect them to be ranked soon. Makes me sick we canât even sniff such success.
