Of note, that I overlooked, UAB enjoyed the benefit of a full week's prep for us. They did not play mid-week. Couple our injury situation with our emotional win over Memphis mid-week, and I think this didn't work in our favor. No excuses though. Let's get some rest and correct what we can.

Ah, okay! I can make that work: https://thevarsitynetwork.com/feed/source/oas-1337?audioPlayer=uabirm%3Aallaccess-Archive-4780 Game ends, they take a commercial break, and the postgame discussion starts @ 2:39:02 mark EDIT: The Lindeborg interview begins at 2:46:45

Pulling that up for anyone interested.

What would you like to see, weekly affirmations? Everything from him will be verbal, since there is no NLI/signature involved here. This Tweet is still at the top of his profile page.

I think the spectrum of preference varies WILDLY. I cannot believe it, but sometimes I run into people who prefer a vibe a la Monster Jam.

We are stretched too thin

I imagine Caponi would buy that fourth tire and hang it on the spare/rack.

That went out the window during OOC play. IMO, it's extremely hard for us to crawl back into those conversations. Especially after losing to SMU/FAU/UAB.

I can’t think of a scenario where this kind of decision is based on offseason turnover. can you explain your reasoning here?

Pretty sure he was poking the bear.

All this back and forth about how we do with/out Rubin. How do you think we’d be doing with a serviceable backup PG? You think we would be sitting with 3-4 more wins? Competing for a 1 or 2 seed? I suspect we’d be in a position for a T4 seed.

This guy loves Penny Also, interesting to see a UAB fan chime in with this:

I WANT IT ALL

How involved does the HC have to be on defense for it to be good? I always thought this varied from staff to staff, and it could absolutely work for the HC to leave said side of the ball to the DC. Absolutely get that the Leach tree has a history of bad defenses, but I don't buy the idea that they are offensive gurus AND sabotaging the DC's efforts. I would love more insight into how this is managed by Coach Morris.

@HoosMeanGreen all good! I am curious now what the general feel of the board is. POLL TIME:

Rumor mill is that Rubin could be ready to go after one more game (after UAB on Sunday). If it were your call, what would you do?

Speaking of Globetrotters, this is a total brag: I've actually witnessed them lose. Look up their all-time record and try to comprehend how rare that is.

I don't think we see Rubin before March. I like the idea of getting him a couple games prior to the tournament, but wouldn't be upset if Hodge held him out until R1. FAU's final stretch is murderer's row., with SMU's schedule a close second Wow.

Yep. Before I was born. Before Ross Hodge was born. Kinda wild.

I've thought this. Maybe a backup plan at DC in case we have to make an emergency decision mid-season.

Yeah, I def reached for that one. I could have left it off, but I still think its worth noting that he coached there.

Odom played with SL on the 2000 natty-winning OU team.

I wouldn't think this at all, especially with The Tigers. They have a very weird, skewed?, mentality when it comes to their place in the American. And, IMO, SMU isn't so far ahead of UNT that they (Memphis) can sleep on us. Any reasonable coach is going to look at our scores, see teh SMU split, and also point out how incredible we are at making all of our matchups rock fights. Now, if we were way down towards the bottom and SMU was top 3, then I'd be inclined to agree. If you want to frame this as "people are going to overlook us", you don't need SMU to do that. Just look at our depleted roster.

Pro Tip: when you want them to go away, stop replying to them.
