Parakeet Jones

I agree. #1 and #2 are necessary for #3, and #1 and #2 are a whole lot easier said than done. I hate that we are in the position of being so portal dependent going into year four.

It’s game day. It’s a Wednesday. You know what that means? It’s hump day.

Archie's first year was pretty bad.

I mentioned the same thing in the game thread. I caught myself a couple of times cheering when NW made a good plays because I am so used to seeing us in white on that court. It took me all of the first half to adjust and I don't think I ever really did.

I'll bring up a point here too that I did in the NW postgame thread. Woody said Malik was awful yesterday, then don't start him this game. Send a message to him that he needs to be better than that. Don't worry about not starting the usual five, that isn't working well most of the time anyway. Heck, I think we are better when one of Ware and Malik is out anyway. Woods was brought in large part to bring us back to the days of RMK. He needs to do what RMK would have done, sit him and send a message. If he doesn't, I don't want to hear about how awful he was again.

I have zero problem with Woody calling guys out. That's what his coach did. However, what I do have a problem with is auto starting those same guys you are calling out the next game. Sit them on the bench to start. Send them a message. Woody's coach would have done that too.

I wish I could say I was surprised. I’m not.

Can we retire these jerseys after today?

Hopefully we blindfolded him.

Those teams were more enjoyable.

Imagine?

@IU ScottTime to start crafting a sternly worded email.

Cal looked ticked.

I get what you are saying about the upcoming schedule, but I think you are underestimating how bad we are this year. You are 100% spot on about the portal.

How do we let them get that rebound?

Gaudin just said we couldn’t get over the hump. 🤣

I know he is having an off day, but I’d kill to have a guy like Buie on our team.

For the “young kids will like these jerseys “ crowd, Little Keet hates them.

I’m pretty sure they were booing the refs. IMO it was the right call on Ware.

We broke 20. I wasn’t sure we would for a while b

I mean this is pretty much what we’ve seen all year except for times here and there.

We are on pace to only give up 60 points. Unfortunately, we are also on pace only score 48.

I’ve got myself twice starting to cheer when NW does something good because I can’t wrap my mind around these jerseys. No, I’m not joking.

Pretty uninspiring start from both teams.

These jerseys aren’t as bad as I thought they would be. They are worse.
