4 days

you are looking at this wrong, there will never be a better opportunity to ~~heckle~~ express your thoughts on the state of program to the AD as one of a few hundred souls in the Sprint Center on Wednesday

Wednesdays are rough ridin' gross and - not gE'n - hurt the image of our program.

I will not watch a game played on a Wednesday.

Our schedule is so backloaded that 10-8, maybe 9-9 with multiple wins out of the KU, ISU, and Texas games puts back on the bubble, imo. I guess I would say the break over point would be the 10th loss.

Yeah, right now on kenpom, everyone in the league besides TCU and Tech are Top 25 teams. Even TCU is Top 50 right now. Granted, it won't stay that way, but the league had a very good OOC (besides us) so there are plenty of quality wins to be had in this league. I think we'd have to get to at least 10 or 11 total league wins and at least 2-3 of those be against Top 20 teams, but its doable considering the quality of the league this year. It will be very tough though.

If we went 10-8 we'd be 17-15. So no, it still wouldn't be enough. We have so many terrible loses, I don't even know. Maybe 12-6 would do it. Again, just a thought experiment here.

Absolutely, 100% believe that it was incompetence that led to Frank leaving not some sort of scheme that Currie masterminded.
I just think John was fundamentally unable to handle Frank.

I wouldn't consider what I proposed Currie did as some grand scheme. Really the only difference between what I said and what others said is that I think he knew what Frank would do when he made that decision and that either factored heavily in the decision or he smiled when he knew that sonofabitch would be gone and it wouldn't cost him any money.

crazy how much can change in two weeks. i read _FAN's post two weeks ago in full agreement that south carolina had surpassed us, but now i'm not so sure.

i'm also probably drunk and high on a misleading 4-1 right now

Yeah, I honestly didn't expect this. Granted, I thought we could and probably would at some point play better than we were then, but the wins over OU and BU are significant.

If ku loses right now, we would be tied for first in the conf, I think.

it's the same team. could have easily won the texas southern and uga games, could have easily lost the ou and bu games.

Are there 6 more wins in this schedule? I don't see it.

Frank cutterntly making a second half comeback, BTW.

Tough loss for Frank. That's a shame. Since OP, South Carolina has lost 3 of 4. K-State, of couse, is 4-0.

Haven't we just gone through the easier part of the conf schedule? 7 of next 8 games against ranked teams, 4 are on the road.

Yeah we've had 1 very good win and 1 good win, the schedule is about to turn brutal

Of course, but NO ONE thought we'd be better than 2-3 at this point, if that. I'll take a good start with two quality wins.
