Thoughts on the game

Phew! Nearly an hour passed before you tried to shoot down that positive comment. I was afraid something dire had happened to you.

We can't have debating going on in a message board!

I watched the game on You Tube last night. I liked what I saw. If our hurt players come back soon we may have a decent team.

Debating is one thing but just being a clown in every post is another. This place would be better if she would leave.

I thought we looked decent. Fears obviously looked good. Moore is good. Godwin is competent. I wasn't overly impressed with Miles; I expected him to be a better athlete than he is. Be curious to see how Jadon Jones looks.

Overall, it's the same quality team we've had for what feels like a decade now. We'll be on the bubble. KenPom projects us at 18-11 (9-9) which sounds about right to me.

Moser can coach/evaluate/recruit, it's a shame he doesn't get more support from the admin/fans. He'll do well at his next spot.

If you can do all three of those things, shouldn't you be able to win? And I remember lots of butts in the seats for a lot of big home games last year, and we laid an egg every time.

If we somehow go 21-8 this year he would likely move on.

Why would he move on if we have that strong a season? Do you guys really think it's OU that's holding him back and not the other way around? How much demand would there be for a coach who's topped out at 21-8 in four seasons?

Where is the evidence that he can "coach/evaluate/recruit"? In which of his three seasons in Norman would you argue that he has gotten the most out of his players? And when has his recruiting been anything close to stellar? (I will say that I include talent retention in the same category as recruitment--doesn't matter who you bring in if you can't convince them to stay.)

I'm not trying to trash the guy. I'm in wait-and-see mode right now--I intend to enjoy this season as it plays out unless and until it somehow gets derailed, but I'm baffled that anyone is convinced at this stage that Moser is something special, a guy other programs would be looking to steal.
