Agreed.

Statistically speaking… and given out major deficits. That is ball game.

Our pass blocking has been nice. I remember the mason fine days where was running for his life.

Oh no. I am shocked that the 3 man front isn’t working.

Right. So I grow tired of them blaming the FIU game on him… when again. He had the lead when he was there.

No I am not kidding you. You see. When he was in… he had the lead. When he wasn’t. They lost. Say what you will about anything. But the FIU game he kept us ahead of them. I don’t really have much else to say…

If facts sound dumb.. then it is what it is I suppose. Can't blame FIU loss on Earle. He didn't lose that game.

Then let's quit blaming Earle for the loss.... since it isn't on him anyway. And still, when he was there he still managed to do enough to keep a lead.

And yet he had the lead for the team. Blame him all you want but when he was there, they were winning. They lost with the other guys at the helm. I know facts suck sometimes. But I grow tired of hearing him be blamed for the loss when he simply had the lead when he left the game.

Dude, he was beating FIU when he got pulled. It was the other guy at QB that lost it.

That was off a set piece. Not field of play goal. But you are right... the not building from the back, long-ball, direct style approach is poor soccer. It is like throwing hail mary's all the time. it can work, but it really doesn't.

You do know you predict our defense to be better than our 2013 defense?! The one with the team with arguably the best linebacker and secondary core we have ever had. And anchored by big Abbe and Sarge... Better than that one. I hate to say it and i truly hope I am wrong but I don't think I have ever been more pessimistic than heading into this season.

It is bad sloppy soccer. It will never work in a big pressure games like the NCAA Tournament. And to date, Hedlund's teams always always always perform poorly in those games... even against some teams that were much more winnable. It is also the easiest to defend. 2 games in and we have yet to score a goal in the field of play. On the bright side, we at least put 7 shots on frame against Alabama. Which is a slight improvement to the 4 from the previous game.

😒

Summa summa time…

I have had so much fun with this tournament. This is the best thing between seasons.

Maybe. But the guy went into a half with the lead and the guy behind him ended the game without it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jesus Christ why.

Wow. 🤔🤔 sometimes shopping around gonna bite you.

Oh man. Poor Memphis. I feel so so bad for them. They were so convinced.

Maybe my anticipations were too high for him and I thought he would be a major contributor early. If he wasn’t coming here I’d just assume he had something we would perceive as a step up. But maybe this was a more mutual parting?? Otherwise I am a bit perplexed.

I could have sworn his hair was a wee bit redder.

I don’t know why we do the firing bit either.

Can we move this post to another forum. This has no reason to be here.

I am grateful for him keeping us in games. But I’d like a true closer all the same. Let’s just hope the team he joins doesn’t need to rely on him for any last second shots. Be sure they ain’t fallin.
