Casey......you really should stop posting.

Congrats Bears on the monumental win. Lusk should win COY.

There were 7500 in attendance ? Obviosly, Barry had a lot of friends in SGF (around 3000).

Casey, please keep posting. You are my favorite poster on mvcfans.

Lusk has been holding back all season in order to unleash his offensive schemes on Barruh

I think it was more of a Barry having more lusk then Lusk. Although the bears did run an offense so that was a big change.

I hope the Bears hit rock bottom and finally turned the corner, and I'm proud as can be of the Bears right now, but any objective observer would say that if the Bears were going to win one game in the Valley, last night's game probably would have been it (playing at home vs. the team picked last). With the information we have now, 1-17 is still more likely than 6 to 9 Valley wins. Only if the Bears team we saw last night shows up at Evansville and strings together a few wins will I be convinced that something has actually changed and we are on an upward trajectory.

I think Casey should listen to what the last few Bear fans had to say instead of telling people "I told you so." It is nice to see the bipolar attitude change with him though about Lusk and the team after the Bears' first D1 win in 10 months over a team picked last at home.

The Bears have mid pack talent, but so far this year the have had no strategy. I don't expect to leave Evansville with a win on Wednesday, but it would not surprise me if we did. Lusk has said all year that we are young and inexpierenced and until last night I thought he was talking about our players. I now see that he is talking about himself, the change in offensive strategy was Lusk growing a little. We will likely still play on Thursday but I don't think we are staring at the abyss like some have claimed.

When you lose every single noncon game, including a game against a SWAC school, you aren't staring at the abyss; you are looking out from it.

Agree with you regarding THIS year. Doesn't mean we will be in the "abyss" next year. And I think that's what agrinut was alluding to.

I'm just glad we won a game for now though.

I hope you are right but, until the Bears beat ANYONE ANYWHERE that isn't coached by Barry Hinson, I won't believe it. We saw Barry lose games for 9 years to teams that were horrid. This is just another example of that. I bet he did the film work and made the game plan for this one personally like he did when we played ORU and got thumped every time. Just maybe though the guys will get some confidence shooting the ball from this one and that would help.
