At least the men don't have "health issues" that "pop up" on the women's team occasionally.

Baseball went thru this last season. Football has had seasons we've lost most of the OL. It happens.

Does NOT mean I’m happy.

TCU played 8 guys. The 8th guy played less than 5 mintues.

I would take "free play" 2 for 1 (all season long) against the caliber you mention and offer the same (albeit flipped) to Nicholls, McNeese, and the like.

I thought no 2 for 1 was only for football

Those state schools balk at home and home against us at times. No way they agree to 2 for 1 deals. I think we just prefer getting paid to go on the road because if you do a 2 for 1 deal, you don’t get paid for either road game and incur travel costs.

If we had our best 8 v their best 8, you got a point. We didn't and won't anytime soon.

We're not deep enough to man defense or even box and 1.

We can agree on this...long season.

I heard it was for basketball as well but I am not certain of that. Just repeating what I have heard.

I'm not arguing that. I'm saying, we played the same amount of bodies.
But in truth, our biggest contributors this year played the most minutes, excluding Russell, who apparently is injury prone.

I'm not out here crushing Marlin today. Just talking about the game.

Was Dou and Brock a package deal? I think we got the wool pulled over our eyes with that one. Juco ball is not D1. This guy is not a good team player right now.

10-4.

Russell seems to be the player that got touches every time we were on offense. PJ was probably going to be the next man up for that position. We're jacked up as a team. It is a microcosm of our problem.

Will be interesting Friday night.

Ya know, the propaganda BS really p(i)ssed me off. I said what I had to say about it.
But now, I'm just sad. Disappointed in where we are. Regardless of circumstances, we're just in a major rut. Injuries, roster overhaul, scheduling struggles... It's just bad.

Perpetual purgatory. I don't care whose fault it is at this point. I'm just sick and tired of it.

What? How is Russell injury prone? He was 3rd on the team in starts last year with 28 and third on the team in minutes played at 859. His freshman year, he played in all 34 games.

What does starts have to do with it? He's been hurt several times since he's been here.
