Looking Ahead to Houston

[Orangezoo]

Correcting your errors does not equate to feelings hurt. This thread is actually a lot of fun. You weren't aware that our first 4 opponents, despite their record, ARE D1 opponents. Also, in order to make the NCAA Tournament, which is something I presume you would like for us to do, requires using the schedule appropriately. For a team that has missed the tournament for a few years, we must understand the metrics involved and schedule accordingly and then, most importantly, perform against all opponents. Playing a murder's row is frankly dumb. Someone as smart as you proclaim to be surely sees that.

Plus right now the ACC has only one team outside the Ken Pom Top 100 in BC at 106 which is part of the strategy for the entire conference with feasting on cupcakes and then getting some big wins.
So conference games now can help us and others with our tournament resume opposed to the incredibly weak past few years.

A Cuse win over Houston and /or Kansas helps us and the ACC and then returning to some big wins again vs weak opponents keeps us where we want to be.

It's almost as if the whole conference had a directive on how to schedule in order to enhance each team's chances for the NCAA tournament.

You’re having a really rough week on the board, huh? Some truly awful posts, like usual.

I disagree with his posts as much as anyone, but the insults are childish. Would you say it to his face?

Nobody has proclaimed that. It’s sure as heck better to be 4-0 than anything else though. But king bozo lacks critical thinking.

I’m not sure he’s a king.

I’m not sure he’s a king.

Truly, it's an honor just to be nominated.

all these team challenges themselves early on plus vegas games. We have houston ok, and then a mediocre Kansas, it's not really a gauntlet... football team challenges themselves in non conference

get. lost.

If we won, would it be the biggest upset in the last 50 years? Serious question. Not sure what the early spread is but my guess is 12.5 (I have no idea).

Think about it, how many times have we truly upset a team? Doesn’t happen a lot when your team is consistently in or around 25 or at minimum a bubble/winning team. Not to mention having a HoF coach most of that time.

We’re coming off the worst season in almost 60 years and facing the #1 team and last year’s runner-up.

Just to keep perspective for people here.

If we win I look forward to the troll telling us we should have challenged ourselves more because Houston was clearly overrated.

Houston has beaten Lehigh, Towson, Oakland handily, and then #22 Auburn by 1 point. And plays Rider tonight. Not exactly murders row, but what you would expect in today's world of getting wins before conference play so you make the NCAA tournament.

So, now I'm smart again?

No one is climbing on that limb.

No one I think is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad

[orangefog]

No, you get lost.

At least I am smart enough to use proper grammar. FIFY

When intellectually outmatched, resort to violence. Predictable. I am guessing you are young. Btw, I only messed with you after you messed with me. I thought you could handle it. I was wrong, you are far too thin skinned.

 

[bballbeadle]

buddy you must be an ESL learner, those d1 team are combined 0-11 v other D1 teams. Kansas is 3-2 I doubt they will be ranked next week.

It is out of line for you to insult members of the board. Disagree, sure. But name calling is cheap and offensive.

It's probably true. I ain't as good as I once was, I got a few years on me now...

I’d throw some money on that bout. Considering I’m envisioning your opponent is some combination of Kip Dynamite and O’Doyle

Brother, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. I don't even care. I come on here for fun. I am having fun. When I stop talking, that is when I am not having fun.
