You were. The problem with bad teams is you have to bite your tongue around homer-ism until reality speaks for you. The only thing you did wrong was be correct too early like a majority of fans that saw this train wreck from 50 miles away

Exactly you notice the rose colored glasses posters have not said much

I’m an alumni and a season ticket holder for all 10 years of pike and I have tried to explain away losses and be optimistic for 8 of them

last year soured me and this season may send me back to watching from the couch

it was amazing but not really suprising to see pollyannaish post for this season....like Pike is getting back to what he does best on defense...um exactly what evidence of that but blind faith. Starting 4-0 but looking progressively worse vs the 3rd worst schedule in the country thus far satiated a few peoples appetites who were not dealing with reality

this morning is just the tip of the iceburg...things are going to get really ugly around here really really fast

Neither of these statements are going to turn out true at the end of the season

to me Grant is the ONLY player who would crack a 8 man rotation on most big 10 teams

we’ll see. We aren’t a good team. We have some good players.

Some? Everyone who wanted to be right about Francis is going to go back to being wrong quickly

Davis has improved but he was never destined to be a big ten starting pg

the two euros are streaky and lost

our backup centers are a non center and a non d1 player

Ok.

Ok.

Who’s some? As in who else besides Grant could realistically be playing meaningful big ten minutes elsewhere

Im eager to see what Francis and Ogbole look like when the competition steps up a notch.

What’s given you the impression either will be better than they are now when the competition improves

Francis is what was expected by most … a high volume average scorer who is a below average defender

ogbole should be dominating these games like most decent bigs do against mid to low majors

Neither would play more than 5 minutes at any other than bottom half of league
