We are in tough times now! Is it time for something new? What about jucos? The first thing we would have to do is convince some that could make a difference to come here. Can we do that? Will they want to play in the new Conference USA? What about a coaching change? A new coach would come in to the same players who are here now. Could we expect that much of a change next year? What about Derrick Roberts? Would a freshman really make us that much better next year? I don't have the answer to any of these questions but I do think we have got to find some way to get people in the stands the same as we need to in football. In football people like to see a wide open offense that puts points on the board like a Boise State. In basketball maybe it is time to consider something like the Grinnell model talked about below. Although I am at Moody for every game now I would get there early to see some basketball like the Grinnell team plays. It is just my feeling that we might have a full house for most games.

I for one am not a football fan. I didn't quite understand the offensive schemes. We were completely awful but in addition it was the most boring football I have ever seen. My friend would say "sorry, I can't go to any more games with you this year...you guys really suck and this is terribly boring." There was nothing to get excited about from a fan perspective. The same might be said for basketball. I ran into an alum this week and talked SMU hoops. He goes to fball games but said, "I can't watch that - every year the tallest guy is 6 ft 6 and the team can't shoot"

As for this year, I would let Pearson start every game and see what he can do for next year. Maybe play Bobby A just for a change. Voc is terrible.
