Does canning the 3-3-5 solve the problem of not recruiting that position well, or something?

Luckily, we fans don't have to address the issues. We have coaches to do that job. We just get to eat food, drink beer, donate and arm chair critique the best QB in school history. Don't know that the growing into a higher power team is as much on us as it is the coaches and players. This is their team. They are the ones that will make it whatever it is.

Overall the trend has been up and I'm having trouble picking a game for a peak. Looking at where we are from where we have been, I don't expect to win every game, but I do expect to be competitive against SMU (which I did not see). If we have a poor season - and I agree it is looking that way - the seat will get hot. We have budget and donors that cannot get complacent, but at 2 games into the season after an overall pretty good season, discussing the HC position now is premature. So far Reeder looks like a mistake, and Reffitt needs to get shit in order. I trust SL will make corrections so the DC position if need be, by the end of the season if this stuff keeps up.

This is dumb. I will take 9 win seasons over the crap I've watched the 15 years prior. We haven't given him an opportunity to correct the issue. Individual players are getting exploited. Gotta fix that problem.

Again - better than average. Right now, I am concerned about UTSA. We have guys that are not doing the big and little things at their positions.

SMU beat Houston last year. Not by a little. It pains me to say this, but they are better than average. We are looking at being 1-3 going into the Houston game unless this team finds itself.

From what I hear, there’s plenty of controlled substance on their campus.

Certainly glad I watched that one. Very cool.

From the snap, it looked like the whole defense’s first steps were out of assignment, and into aggressiveness. It looked like everyone out there wanted to be THE guy to make the play, instead of clogging gaps and turning the play to the help. There are some athletes on defense, but it looked like many of them were not looking for help and some leaving assignments before it was okay to do so, or missing the assignment completely. I feel like our CB play is key in our defense.

those things are cancer.

Outrage is easy. The article basically wrote itself. This guy will have an awesome career at infowars, the onion, msnbc, etc.

Yes, i agree. The tower floor is clean. the Texas outline and diving eagle look great.

Would that not be recruiting suicide? Texas commands a presence whether those schools and/or fanbases like it or not. Texas schools will always have a seat at the table and likely be able to associate with whomever they want. CUSA implosion would likely occur as a result of BIG XII or some other power conference realignment.

They the Washington Generals, now. So happy to have them in our conference...

Probably pretty easy to find. They likely, still, give the most money after RV was fired. Those fools...

lol. Look at this guy. Has anyone told him?

I'm not going to say that you are wrong, but I feel like all Josh White needed was Tristan Thompson. The two of them, together, were greater than the sum of their parts.

I agree with Smart's mentality, but the ability to convert a drive into points/free-throws just isn't there. Just decent defensive teams can force us into a 3pt shooting contest that this team can't keep up with. This year's team is a horrendous 3pt% team. Which seems a bit odd given the 3pt production that returned from last season. The more we get to the line, the more we win. The less 3pt shots we take, the more we win. I feel like we are good enough defensive team to make that offensive formula work if we had a slasher. RIght now, Woolridge appears banged up, so is Miller our next best slasher?

There is no question, they do. I remember Duke being somewhat close. Our josh white and Tristan thompson teams made their living at the line and spoiled me with their FT percentage.

Man, I’ve been feeling the same way so I looked up the percentage the other day and some of the best teams in the NCAA have similar stats at the line. I couldn’t believe it. I need to look at the OOC and conference splits, but it feels like it has been real bad lately. It’s not like conference teams defend the free throw line any better than out of conference teams. It seems from where ever we stand on the floor, the ball is not going down.

With this team? We would have a unremarkable record and not have gotten any attention. At least this way, there's attention to raise the perception of the program. The team is what it is. You can either have this team and a worse record or have this team and the record they have now. A tougher OOC would not have made this team better, but the OOC we had, may make the program better.

we took our first free throws with 4 minutes left in the game.

I would take that 10 times out of 10.
