Proud of the team...

[houstontxbrave]

There's not much to be proud of, sorry. We're 6-7, have lost 3 straight home games, and have players who apparently don't care enough to follow the rules. I'd be proud if we had won. Showing up and playing hard shouldn't have to be rewarded with praise, it should be expected.

2nd place is first loser. Great they played hard, but in my world losing is losing. Proud they didnt quit, fine, but praise for playing the game, they are going to school for free, hard, no that should be every night.

Mr Brown, if he is a poison on this team, he either needs to have one of his parents wake his a** up or he needs to move on. Regardless of how great he believes he is, there is always someone better, who is working harder, not missing games and is a leader. Right now he is nothing but a spoiled child who from what it appears could not care less about his teammates. Either grow up or go away, this program will survive with or without you.

I agree with your first statement as the individual who came up with the phrase "moral victory" was either the team manager or a guy who sat in the stands, because you can have 20 moral victories in a season, yet those 20 losses will get you sent packing...


Sorry, a win is always a win and a loss is always a loss no matter how you cut it...

No one is going to look at a team who finishes 6th or 7th in a conference and then say, gee, but they were real close on 7 or 8 games...

There's NO Room for poison on any team

our kids are good kids....maybe some immaturity and being in the wrong place at the wrong time...
but we have no drug arrests, DUI's, and the stuff we've had is minor, really minor by comparison with a lot of the stuff in the news.
I am happy our program will not allow it and even disciplines the minor stuff stronger than places like Tennessee disciplines the gangsterism.

Come on T, let's just stay in our back yard and clean up our troubles! Pointing to other places does nothing to help the issues at BU or justify them Ask the police how minor they consider fighting and how serious it can escalate to Better yet, why don't you represent TB and tell it to the judge, how minor he should consider it T, where do you cut the kid BS and start referring to them as young adults Better yet, again ask the court system that question! How old is TB Not sure what TB has done this time but this is his second know suspension, and missing 3 games. His actions in no way meet Webster's definition of good And you know what I was referring in the word poison, How about just plain trouble maker and team disrupter, at this point Good for JL and BU for taking action with this young man and enforcing the team rules

you haven't noticed??
That's precisely what IS happening...and we're one of the few schools doing it.

I agree, and this is why it baffles me why things like this can not be handled by either saying a) you're not starting and will sit for X amount of minutes or the first half or b) you will have to run more in practice or c) everyone runs because of what you did, causing you to not want to let teammates down by messing up again...


If it is such a minor offense, a guy should not lose a game over it.

but rules are rules...no different than the "minor" offense of missing a team bus

On his radio show this morning, JL talked a little more about punishment in general. He said an example, if SM was always at least 5 minutes early to practice, he would not punish SM for being late once during his senior year. (although that is a team rule, SM had not shown that he was continually leting down the team through his career.) JL then mentioned that he once had to sit out Boogie and POB one game for being late, because it was becomming a pattern and that would be overall detrimental to the team if being late continuinued.

..not sure what it all means, but I think JL was trying to say he would not sit someone just because of a strict, "letter of the rule" issue. He did mention that team leaders are involved in the discussion.

On a positive note, they somehow managed to have a caller. Of course the caller asked about recruiting big men.

so what names did the coach list of recruits we are about to sign???

The question was a more general philosophy question wondering why JL recruits players more than a posistion, and why we can't get someone like WSU's .... JL said there are very few bigs available in D1 and that (WSU) guy developed into a 240lb big guy since arriving on campus at 200... and we have guys that will develop...

After seeing AT's dad on TV you wonder why Sticks has not filled out.
