There is no reason not too throw Paddock out there at some point. The staff loves him and he has impressed in practice. He could and probably will suck when we do it most freshman do but its an opp to get his feet wet. Plitt is a back up nothing more we already know that.. To slow footed, Holds the ball to long etc

I don’t know anyone who was talking NFL for Neal. If there was, it was a minority opinion. You have any names who said this? Just because some had unrealistic expectations for Neal doesn’t mean he should be benched for not meeting those inflated expectations. My eyes are open. We played terrible yesterday. Undiscipled and unacceptable. That does raise some coaching concerns and questions. I just don’t think it elevates to the level of calling for Neu’s job. I know that we are better this year than we were last year. Not great, but better. We probably won’t win another game this season. Disappointing? Yes! Surprising? No. Temper expectations. Ive never thought riley was an nfl guy. There are draft guys,opposing coaches,in game announcers etc who have all said he is. I cant remember anyone on here who thinks that because we all have seen what Riley really is. As far as tempering expectations how low can we go most of us only thought we would win 3-5 games. We wanted improvement, we thought we might be improved but as soon as we play decent team all the same warts grew back Virtually everyone thought we’d win 3 or 4 games this year and be at least somewhat improved over last year. Both of these things are a reality, and yet now people are freaking out like this was unexpected. With the exception of IU and EMU yesterday, we’ve been competitive.

I will be very surprised if Riley doesn't have this season ended by injury. He is taking too many hits. Eventually one of them isn't going to end well.
This team's problem isn't Riley Neal. It's the offensive line.

Im one who said yes I was looking at us being more competitve. We have been more competitve but Im not sure we are any better anymore. I think we are actually regressing as the season goes on. The players on the roster we thought might step up do not play and our stars have been everything but star like. If we turn it around the last 4 great everyone wants that. Yesterday though looked like the wheels have fallen off though. If we play like that the rest of the way out we will lose every game by 20+

And you cannot come into homecoming, coming off a win, and play and act like that. You just can’t. Any progress we were making was shot yesterday and the games will just get harder. We did not compete yesterday. If we compete in the final 4 games and LOOK like we’re making progress then ok. Otherwise, what are we doing?

Yesterday was bad, and if the final 4 we play as bad and as uninspired then I will be right there with you guys, but one game doesn’t make or break a season or future seasons. At least I sure hope not.

At least I sure hope not. I feel like Neu lost what was left of the team yesterday. The Jawing, Body Language, effort etc. Not too mention Neus quote in the paper. "we are a very fragile team right now" None of this is good it all points to really bad. Maybe they can fix, it turn it around, rally, heal ,mend, overcome etc. If they do great but I am not very optimistic

If you reallocate football budget to improvements in coaching, etc it could very well lead to improved basketball results over several years as it becomes sustainable. BB easier to contend than football I would suggest The supposed money that we would "save" by moving to DI-FCS, would be offset by the amount of revenue that we would lose by leaving the MAC, and the loss in alumni support.

No need too really discuss us dropping down. It will never happen but we will be forced out by the ncaa eventually. The Group of Five would probably remain in the NCAA. The Power Five will probably organize into a new association that leverages the TV contract money, bowl money and B-ball tournament money into a more efficient and lucrative plan than is available with the NCAA. So hey, if we stick around long enough, we could win an NCAA championship, after all of the better teams leave the NCAA.

Fan satisfaction is different than expectation. We will always want to be better than we are. I don't think asking to go 3-5 in the MAC and 4-8 overall in yr 3 is asking too much. I voted on 4-8 before the season as the floor of what I could tolerate. Right now BSU has the toughest remaining MAC schedule. Sure BSU has improved from last year but the QB injury situation was borderline unprecedented in conference last yr. It was almost a given that by default there would be some improvement.

record still does not matter much to me I expected this to be a bad season. I do not like the regression that seems to be going on. I do not like the general feel I get whenbvb watching how the team interacts. I do not like the rhetoric frombthe staff.. Something feels off and it feels like then end of times with lembo

The MAC now resides at the bottom of the Group of Five. WOW, we are in the basement of the basement of the BSC. Does that make everyone feel good? I was of the opinion we could be 6-6 with everyone back and healthy, was I ever wrong. Been hoping we could make it, maybe we can yet? You answer the question.
