Had a day to digest and can agree w/the sentiment this team is on the verge of being very good. Definity can agree we need a 3rd/4th consistent scoring options and its up to Coach Burke to put those players in the best situations to succeed. If they can quickly figure that out this is 11-14win team and all bets are off in the conference tournament. The rebounding and hustle for 50/50 plays has significantly improved. I can appreciate the level of intensity and passion they play with makes it fun to watch and follow.

Kent is struggling and I believe they have the two tallest players on their team out with injuries. Biggest player getting minutes is Chris Payton 6'7". They may slip a little this year.

You captured how I am coming to feel about it too. Sad. I've been a college football fan for more years than a lot of board members have been alive, but my passion is waning. I find it tough to get invested in young athletes when they are not invested in the team. That is not a condemnation of them. I get the economics and such. But I used to know that when a player committed to OU or UB that they were in for the duration in all likelyhood. Now, even at P5 schools, you can't get invested. Caleb Williams taught me that. I'll keep my UB season tickets, and go to most of the games; catch the odd UB road game; and see a few more games elsewhere. It's okay, but it is surely different. And life (and football) go on...
