Well, they did just over a hundred yards offensively, but no points. I guess at least they lost by an interesting score, 5-0. Distracted by events in Texas? One wonders.

Northern Alabama falls to Valdosta State, 5-0.

That was their first loss of the year. Kind of a freak game if you ask me. Still, I'm with ya. They went 11-2 last year, won a conference championship, and the season ended with a triple overtime loss in the D II playoff quarterfinals, all in his FIRST YEAR there.

Without a doubt this is the splash type hire we need.

We can do better than this.

Actually, at 6-1, Terry's doin' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than us.

...but he would be a HUGE hire for us. Proven head coach, RECENT record of success, and no baggage.

Daddy, you just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, your level of knowledge. Now I know how seriously to take your posts.

My first reaction was, "Really!?"

Even for Daddy, that was pretty bad. Bowden coached at a little school from the SEC called Auburn. Had them undefeated in one year, and another squad with just one loss(to a 1 loss Alabama team).

At this point, anything is better than Todd Dodge. What I don't like about it is that I feel the players are getting cheated by this level of coaching. There have been so many close losses under Dodge, that it makes you wonder 'what if there was a different coaching regime in there?' I feel like the kids would have quite a few wins actually. That's sad. And supposedly after the game TD just said a prayer with his team and left the locker room without addressing them. Bad, bad, bad...

Anything is a bit over the top. I doubt Ramon Flanigan or Hal Wasson would excite the fanbase or the team.

My point of view has to do with the character issues. Didn't he have some problems at Auburn that had nothing to do with what took place on the field? And there have been plenty of jobs available since he left Auburn, yet he ends up at Northern Alabama. Not dissing hie success on the field, but I believe there are just more all around solid coaches out there. Besides, recruits in Texas are not going to know who he is, and unlike Coker which many on this board believes is the 2nd coming of Bear Bryant, he does not have a ring to wave around.

Before you get carried away with Bowden as a coach, remember, he is doing this with players that have been kicked out of D I schools. Many of them had major behavioral problems and were dismissed from where they were. He has not shown an ability to recruit players that you would like to have on your campus.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
