  1. LD Bell stuns Trinity. First time Bell has won this game in like 26 years. Trinity’s coach is Lineweaver’s son and there was a lot of questions about the hire when it was made. I don’t see how he can remain coach after that. 11-11 in 2 years with a loss to Bell. Yikes.
  2. Didn’t watch a single second due to Rangers, but really pumped to see this team win games they were losing last year.
  3. This offense might set the record again for offensive efficiency like they did in 2020. Yes, Luka has been great, but they still aren’t even getting good games from Kyrie and THJ. If they can keep winning clutch games, it’s going to be a fun season.
  4. I think we all agreed this team needed to get off to a good start. Good work. Keep it going.
  5. As a player, sure. Are we certain about this as a coach? Dude makes some puzzling lineup choices and he continues to do that this year.
  6. I’m with those wondering why they threw him anything close to the zone. Feels like we stole that one. Feels like it’s been a month since we won at home.
  7. Williams also looks like a great fit and Luka and Kyrie clicked to close the game out. Kryie had a very poor shooting night and they still won by 3 possessions. This is a game they lose last year.
  8. Nothing like making a projection after 1.2% of the season has been played. The lineup of Luka-Kyrie-Green-Williams-Lively looks very promising. Just need Kidd to not be a moron about what his best lineup is and I think it be a pretty fun season.
  9. Can we make it a week into the season before we start talking about Luka doomsday scenarios? We won FFS.
  10. THJ is fine. He will win us games when he gets hot. But hopefully we don’t have to be nearly as reliant on him every night. Lively is a breath of fresh air even though he’s going to have some nights where he struggles. It’s nice to see a center who might actually challenge Luka for the team lead in rebounds. Overall, good first night. Defense is still atrocious.

    Fabian Johnson absolutely would make the current roster and probably be a better RB option than anyone we have. Jermaine Jones would also be on the roster and probably a starter depending on what hypothetical formation that team would play.

    The 2014 team was way more experienced and the current team would have no answer for Dempsey--he would be the best player on the field. Pretty sure the current backline would be shredded by the 2014 group. That being said, this current group has a higher ceiling going into 2026. A more apt comparison will be the 2026 vs 2014 team.
  13. Same here. I will also be following on gamecast tomorrow
  14. I don't care about his regular season stats at this point. Swing slower isn't the right term, but shortening up your swing can certainly help you make better contact and have a better chance to get on base than what he's doing right now. He's "swinging fast" but missing every time--which is why he's popping up so much.
  15. I've been watching the series but not posting. I just don't understand Semien's approach at this point. You've been terrible all playoffs and you are the lead-off hitter. Stop trying to hit the shit out of the ball. His slump has made it way easier to pitch to Seager because there's never anybody on base.
  16. Yea now tell us the game 2 ratings since MLB thinks it’s a good idea to have a 3:30 first pitch.
  17. The first 3 games you listed are definitely going to be much tougher than a lot of people are thinking—certainly a chance to lose those. I still think winning at Ames is going to be really hard to do because ISU is not the team we watched in nonconference. I’m not concerned about the last two you listed.
  18. This is where I'm at as well. 10-2 was my expectation coming into the year and I don't think I've seen anything that changes my mind on that. Had we beat OU, 11-1 was very much my expectation, but I fully expect a WTF loss and the fanbase, including myself, is going to be pissed. But taking a step back, 10-2 in year 3 is a great trajectory and hopefully a chance at the conference title on the way out.
  19. So I'm a totally novice, but I did decide to at least watch some extended ISU-OU highlights. I wouldn't be surprised if OU scores more points on us than Bama. Their O-line is fine, not great, but fine, and I think Garbriel suits the system very well. I think they hit us on 2 or 3 big plays that are going to feel like a gut punch. Their D-line looked pretty pedestrian to me. That means they are going to have to blitz to get pressure and I think we beat the blitz by running it straight up their ass. I would be shocked if we didn't out-rush them this game. I think we're going to be uncomfortable for most of the game and then we score a TD to go up 10 in the 4th . 38-28 final. OU sucks.
