It's not the offense. It's the gigantic lulls we way too often find ourselves in with no answer on how to get out of. It's cost us games vs very beatable teams.

There were easily 4,000 in the Pit. That reported number is flat wrong. Trust me I literally used to be responsible for attendance counts for the games back in the day when I worked there. To the game. Shout out to the Furman fans that made the trip. Respectable showing. Was impressed with their catch and shoot 3 pt shooting - especially early. They move the ball very well and if you get caught sleeping or a step behind, those dudes were ready to fire it up. Fun team to watch. Great 2nd half by the Mean Green! Floyd played great tonight. Walker and Sissoko both played really well defensively for us. Walker made some great hustle plays. Loved the overall 2nd half intensity. Great basketball atmosphere in the Pit tonight. Glad the crowd got into it. Let’s get ready for a war with Arkansas State this weekend. Lets win the whole damned thing again!

Spineless NCAA strikes once again.

The supporters section at FCD has an entire drum and horn cadence and sign that pumps Fire Nico every game. Unlike in downtown Dallas the stadium gleefully sings along without Guido dragging anyone out. That team just needs to embrace it at this point and make it a rallying cry. Great job tonight Maniacs, UNT Cheer and Spirit Dancers. Go Mean Green!!!!!

My avatar was blank until a mod put a photo several years ago. I don't know how to change it nor do I care to. What are the "football ways"? Glass half empty? No. Just living in reality. We dropped 80+ 4 times this year: against NET #257 Evansville, Wayland Baptist, #364 Mississippi Valley, and #204 Rice. Yes, yes, efficiency is not the same. I get it. Consider the opponents we played and the numbers we put up and it's no surprise we couldn't beat the best teams we played. We may have been efficient on paper, that doesn't make us a great offense. Good? Sure. I think we'd all prefer great. Arkansas State is #71 on that list, just 6 spots better than us. They've scored 100+ against D1 opponents twice this season, including yesterday, and put up 98 against UAB, 85 against Memphis, and in the 90s a few other times. 71 vs 77 in offensive efficiency though. Fair statement. I think we can all agree sometimes things may look good on paper but just don't pass the eye test. I'm a Cowboys fan. Anybody who follows the NFL can tell you the Cowboys may have won 12+ games 3 straight seasons but those who watched all knew the record and statistical numbers were misleading. Same here.
