The team isn't gassed. These are young people, in the best shape of their lives.

But they're playing against division 1 athletes, all also in the best shape of their lives. Their 'gassed' would still beat the cyclonefanatic all star team of course, but it makes a difference when we're talking about games vs power 5 competition.

I’ve heard several folks including CW say that TJ’s teams have had a mid season lull every season. There was no lull last season. We lost 3 games between early Jan and the sweet 16.

If we had one last season it was probably towards the end of the regular season even though we pulled out Ws for most of the games.

Also, its kind of weird how both last year and this year we've finished our seasons with BYU at home and then KSU on the road.

Need Jackson to be able to put pressure on Dickinson, again and make KJ Adams or Budinga over help and open things up for Jefferson. Need to get back to the good big to big passing.

Really good analysis by Seth Greenberg at half in the early game. Showed defenders flat out leaving Heise and Watson to go clog the lane. That’s why we had so many turnovers. You absolutely cannot have your wings being empty uniforms on offense. Milan can’t get back soon enough. And Heise needs to step the f up and start hitting shots.

You are right, their gassed vs my gassed, two different things. :D All relative.

I'm sure TJ feels he can get more gas from the routine 8 vs playing more subs.

My very first post on the board. Thanks to rezclone for posting on the COOG board. I think most COOGS have mixed feelings who to root for, I don't. Come on Cyclones, kick their booty. At least I hope you do. I'll be watching for sure. Kansas has to be licking their wounds - wait you guys have got to be licking your wounds - wait us COOGS are licking our wounds as well.
Anyway, waiting for the game with anticipation. Love being in the B12. Now if we can just bring football back to it's winning ways and join the party.
R U a B coog or an H coog? so confusing.

Either way, welcome!

That's just an over reaction by the ap voters. The last week was very tough but we are better than number 8 and will prove it by winning the next 5 starting tonight.
We'll see. Have a little faith! I've been a fan for 4 decades and this team is 1 of our very best!
