That's a shame.

Are they scheduling like that intentionally? It seems like every season now they build undeserved hype beating down low majors, only to realize they are middle of the road in the MVC.

They’ve lost one game, are tied for first in the loss column, and are four games ahead of the third place team who they swept on the road. Its a bit early to be calling them a “middle of the road MVC team”. My goodness. Ya’ll are acting like they haven’t won a game in a month.

Moreso applying the "middle of the pack" to prior years. Clearly this year they are a top valley team, but the logic still applies, they played an OOC schedule that any valley team would have succeeded with. They got themselves ranked with a backloaded valley schedule, they are a few coin flips from being a 4 loss team. Nobody would care about them right now if they had a played an OOC schedule like ours.

Drake fights hard and doesn't quit. They are fun to watch. They are a top 100 team, not a top 25 team.

That’s all fair. They have had a few close calls but they’ve also played a number of blowouts too. This weekend will be telling.

Quite the second half statement made by the Ramblers today

[PantherAlum09]

Boston College fired their head coach Jim Christian yesterday and Porter Moser is being mentioned as a possible replacement. He has a connection with their AD, so it's possible. Another name that appears to be the favorite is Vermont head coach John Becker.

Truthfully, outside of the money and facilities, I'm not sure about the appeal of BC. That move to the ACC just seems like a nightmare situation.

DePaul is going to throw the world at Porter.

DePaul is going to throw the world at Porter.

Yeah, Porter is a Chicago boy. He's far more likely to stay in the area where he has recruiting connections established.

I miss caring about other games. Last year seems so long ago

Bingo. Being a college basketball junkie, there’s not much I enjoy more than following us and our opponents when we’re in the running for an at-large bid.
