I don't think the question is why does a random MVC fan fail to analyze this year's UE team, rather why does a coach entering his 11th season have his program in such sad shape that a random MVC fan doesn't have the desire to even analyze it?
I hate reading these posts and predictions, I really do..but what is incorrect? I sincerely hope I am wrong, but this shaping up to be a disaster. Again, is the problem the posters making the predictions, or the veteran coach not able to get any prediction more optimistic than a repeat of his 9th place finish?
1. To the first point you are correct. (See Pt. 3)
2. No, the question was addressed to the MVC fan and not about the coach.
3.I don't know what will happen on the court this season. I will remain optimistic. I do know that if there is a post from you about Evansville basketball, it will be critical of the Evansville coach, program, and the administration. Seen it here, seen it on PurpleAcesFans.
Since you're so knowledgeable of my posts, you probably realize that I have posted on these forums since the Valley Board on AOL back in the 90's. You would also be aware that I have posted many supportive posts over the years. Of course, it was a hell of a lot easier to be positive when we were competing and drawing large crowds as we did for may years.
Sorry that it offends you, or causes your safe-space to feel icky that, as a long time fan, one who knows damn well what this program spent many years being capable of..that I am sickened and disgusted over how far it has fallen. I'm sorry that it doesn't bother you, that logical and balanced posters are nearly unanimously picking us to finish last..with a coach in his 11th season. Some are going as far to say that this may actually be one of the worst teams in all of D-1. The same veteran coach who pulled off a craptastic 9th place finish in his 10th season.
While I could go full rant on all of the reasons I am to the point I am, I have and will keep this strictly to the subject of this thread..Projected Finish. I explained my negative opinion in regards to this, how about you climb down from the Unicorn and give me just one good reason I should have an ounce of optimism for the coming season? You said you are optimistic, please, give me some of that purple sparkle fairy dust.
