Here’s a cheery thought. With Rice and Timmerman graduating, we’ll probably be worse next year.

No question, unless there is a new coach and he manages to land a couple of transfers and bring a lot of energy to the program and change the entire system.The two recruits were coming in or not nearly as good as the players who are graduating.
What is even worse is that every year that ND continues to destroy the program will probably require two more years just to return the program to the same mediocre level. It’s not easy salvaging a ship that has already sunk.

I understand that ticket prices will be raised next year to make up for the constantly decreasing ticket sales in what sounds like a reverse Ponzi scheme.
I also understand that incentives will be upgraded.
Red Robin awards will now be earned if the opponents score ten or fewer three pointers, and Frosty's will be earned if opponents are held to under 85 points.
If the Bison manage a win, all ticketholders will be entered in a drawing for a special barbeque with the coach information sharing session.
They will also increase the price of a hot dog.
And parking fees will be charged.
All to return the program to profitability.

I have no idea if my previous post went through---Suffice it to say, Davis and company do not have the ability to coach at the D1 level. Next year will be worse---In the last several years we have gone from the class of the league to a total disaster. Used to have a program that would be at least competitive against Rutgers---now they can't compete against an undersized Lafayette squad. If the AD and Administration don't understand this, they should be gone. By the way, where is Screen---Not that it matters--Hopefully he transfers to an appropriate D3 program.

Screen is not going to D3. 7 footers don't grow on trees. A real coach would have coached this kid up which I'm sure his family expected when he committed.

As my dad was a Bucknell alum and we lived in Milton I am a Bison fan, unless they are playing my alma mater, Lehigh.
Regarding Screen, my wife and I are Lehigh season ticket holders so we were at the game Wednesday at The Stabler Barn. Andre was in sweats and a boot on one foot. So we knew it would be an even longer night for The Bison.
Is it just me or has the Patriot League in general gotten less competitive with the rest of divisions 1 ? Maybe with the exception of Colgate? Even with the academic standards as a handicap, we used to be a lot more competitive with the lower level of the A10, or the Ivies. It's not my place to comment on Davis, but I wonder if the level of coaching in the league in general has declined. The historic Kenpom ratings of division one leagues seems to indicate that.

Probably the most talked about topic with probably the most views on this board may finally be at rest. Happy Trails ND!

I never wish anyone ill, but this was clearly necessary. Best wishes to Davis in the future, whatever and wherever that may be.

A man is his own man. They have their own values, gifts, mannerisms, flaws, etc. I’m not sure I’ll ever understand Nathan Davis. But I hope if he coaches again he’ll be self-aware enough to give his many shortcomings sôme examination.

After a brief hiatus from this board, I'm back.
It has been time for a change for a long time. Please hire a new head coach!
New season, new team, new dream . . . |
