Exactly what I was afraid of… low intensity until 5 minutes left in the game and back to the old guard play.
You think this team has it figured out and then they start playing down to their competition.
When Ervin doesn't have a good game, the entire team follows his lead. He seems to be the key for us this year.
Stan seemed to be surprised that it turned into a football game? Why, I'm not sure….it always does when we go down there.
"Ole Miss – they can't play basketball, and they won't let you play either."
Ha… who made that comment Sunshine? Was that Stan or one of Nolan's old comments? That's great and so true.
I want to know who their strength guy is, because while I don't want our big men to look like pro wrestlers or defensive lineman like Ole Miss' inside guys do, I would like for Vincent Hunter's arms to be bigger than mine…. and if you know me it's pretty obvious I've never lifted a weight in my life (well, that's an exaggeration… but close
).
This game here has just about pushed me away for good. When a team goes down to a good #2 team in the nation and works their butts off and just looses to a better team then I am OK with that. But when a team goes down and is not ready to play and gets "out worked" against a lesser opponent then that is something I cannot tolerate. This has happened way too many times under Stan's tenure and I have just about had my fill. 5 – 34 or whatever our road record is under Stan is just not going to work.
