That will get the butts in the seats!
I love you guysâŚI really do, but letâs donât get jacked over winning three in a row against bad teams. Lutz is Lutz and this team is NOT very talented. If we win more than 13, Iâll be quite surprised. I want us to do well, but the realist in me tells me thereâs no way in hell.

Look, I just bought 4 season tix [/QUOTE]
Can someone please post a BIG COOKIE pic here for Metro.
First, you state youâre going to stroke a big freaking check to the athletic program if Judy gets the new baseball stadium. You admitted here you never did it. And now youâre announcing youâve bought season tickets when for several years youâve vowed not to spend money on the program until Judy is gone. :wow: :rolleyes: Whatever man. Slow down and think about your statements and actions.
Iâm going with 10-7 (hey, it [B]could[/B] happen). I agree with Jcl though, our conf. schedule starts out very tough - we could very easily go 3 - 6 or worse in our next 9 games. Even if that does happen the last 8 games are very winnable - this team will just have to keep their heads up and continue to play as a team, even if they arenât winning right away.

For those that think we will only lose 5 games the rest of the year - I want some of what you are drinking[/QUOTE]
uhâŚhave u seen the quality of our A-10 apponents? I think 11-5 or 10-6 in the conf and weâll beat UL Lafayette so call it 17-12 and hopefully a bye in the tournament
if we make it to our conf tourney, I will do cartwheelsâŚ
if we make it to our conf tourney, I will do cartwheels....

youâre obviously thinking locically todayâŚ
lets see:
a. former alumni buys 4 season tickets and somehow you find a way to criticize it.
or
b. former alumni boycotts season tickets a few years and you find a way to criticize it.
which way do you want it dude? actually one of YOUR former frat brothers I believe talked me into the tickets. Empty arenas donât land nice recruits. I will continue to boycott the âfoundation.â Give it a rest.
what would you do if we won the conference tourney?
backflips for sure

You have GOT to tell me where i can buy this.
[QUOTE=LeftyNiner;207812]Howâs everyone feeling about the rest of the season? 6-6 with 17 to play.[/QUOTE]
I wanna know why 17-0 is not an option in this pole?
Undefeated baby!!!
No seriouslyâŚI we go .500 the rest of the yearâŚI will consider it a successâŚ
We are just not very good.

Iâm glad you changed your mind on tickets. Youâre right, we need all we can get. I would say you started it but that would be childish.

I think weâre better today than we were 3 weeks ago and I like the fact that this team doesnât quit (unlike teams from recent past). I just donât see the toughness of the upcomming schedule?? If (big IF) we can pull out the Dayton road game we should win the next 4 St Joes & Dayton at home and a horrible Richmond team on the road. GW and SLU are losses. U gotta beat UMASS and La Salle at home. Weâll lose to Xavier on the road, but then should run the table, except for Temple and maybe one other road game. Iâm going with 10-6. Wofford is better than most of the teams our conference opponents have beaten. Hell Wofford is better than most of our conference opponents!!

So far, I gotta side with metro on this thread. The âReverend Jacksonâ comment killed me.
Iâll go with 10 conference wins only because thatâs what Run49or predicted. I used Run49orâs OOC predictions to predict a 4-5 start to the season, so I came pretty close to looking really smart. Truth is, I have no idea what the future holds. All I know is that the Houston loss really bothered me and it still stings. Winning the loserâs bracket and beating Wofford helped, but I still donât know what to make of this team.

Wow.
Woffordâs bench is better than St. Bonaventure, for sure, but you believe Wofford is better than most of our conference mates? Thatâs a stretch.
It would be nice to split the Dayton games and Iâd LOVE a sweep. St. Joeâs makes me really nervous. Phil Martelli led a St. Joeâs team with a mediocre OOC to a 14-2 conference record a couple years ago and I think the league is vastly underestimating them this year. Their guards are just going to get better with experience. Richmond is awful but that team has our number. Maybe weâll get our revenge from last year. SLU is really good and that team has our number, too. As much as I love Carl Elliot, GW is a game that can go either way. UMass is gonna be TOUGH. Weâre not gonna beat them inside, thatâs for sure. LaSalle is the only game I feel comfortable about and Xavier can potentially embarrass us. I see the toughness of the schedule, but I hope you prove me wrong.
The only A-10 game that I see as a sure win is Bona and thatâs not because of the players but the coach. Solomon is just awful! While I certainly donât expect a 1-15 A-10 run for the Niners, nothing is going to surprise me (well, 16-0 sure would! 
).
The only way I think we will go 16-1 or 17-0 is if the team can have some really melodramatic moment where they figure out what is wrong and have a big, heart-touching breakthrough as a team, which then starts a montage backed up with music like âEye of the Tigerâ or something like that.
Bobby should make the team watch all of the âMighty Ducksâ and âMajor Leagueâ movies together. If we can get this montage going right, we may even get in the NCAA tourney.

Our team needs a âslow clapâ moment⌠like in Lucas.
