Well, oh so close. This was a game where I can't even guess how many times the lead changed hands. Very hard fought game on both sides. We had maybe 30 people in total there, scattered about the arena, including Dr. and Mrs. Pohl.

Once again Jones used the entire bench making frequent subs. Johnson had a mixed debut playing about 7 minutes total. Had an awesome rebound and slam dunk, but ultimately fouled out of the game, but some of the calls against him were questionable. No way TCU had more than maybe 1500 in attendance but the crowd, like our game with Baylor, really got into it during the second half.

It was a very defensive game, with both teams shooting poorly in the 30-35% range. This was for sure the type of game that can give you a heart attack. So damn close, no one had a lead of more than 5 or 6 and the other team would alway close it up quick. These are hard to take, but we're making continuous and serious improvement.

Thanks for the report. No doubt those games are hard to take but I am hoping our team grows from them. This game and the Baylor game give me hope that maybe just maybe we can put something together this year (something together would be 10-15 wins).

The lead changed hands 25 times. The teams were tied 15 times.

This was definitely the closest played game I've seen in a long time, and exciting to watch, overall. This team has done a complete turnaround, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them go well above .500 in conference. They improve every time I see them.

I know Jerome Rogers in particular was upset, and I thought he had a hell of a game. I have to give props to this whole team for playing with fire that they didn't have the first time I got to see them. Also props to Johnny Jones for nailing down the basics that were extremely sloppy the first few games out of the gate.

This team just might hit that next level and be the real deal in conference play. ph34r.gif

Although Johnson did not play particularly well, it was easy to see he was a very powerful force in the lane. The loudest cheers of the night from TCU came when Johnson fouled out. Everyone could tell he was something special.

Once again sophs Ty Thomas, Ron Harris and Justin Barnett were impressive coming off the bench.

No problem man. I don't catch all of them because of the internship I'm doing...but I still am able to listen to most games.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
