Prediction: ODU loses by 8

My prediction: after the press conference, Mike Jones flies to Statesboro, gives a rousing pregame speech, before disappearing back to College Park. The boys, so inspired by their new leader and ready to run through a brick wall, come out and totally dominate the Eagles, winning by 20 in a game that was never that close.



Ok, probably not, but at this point, what does it matter?

Can we just skip it and get on with next season?!

They are 7-23 too? Geese.

That is not a quick trip!

It can be on a private plane!

Is anyone watching this or am I the only one? This defense is just horrendous. It looks like they put stickum on the bottom of their shoes.

I've been watching. Just not much to cheer about.

It’s almost over. Just one more game

There is a good chance that we will face Texas State again in round 1. Can we score more than 36 points this time?

Maybe… haha. It’s exactly what they deserve. Just get the worst era in ODU hoops history over with as quick as possible. Sorry but I can’t even put energy towards it anymore. Other than Jason Wade.. I’m done. Onward and upward.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. They just got run outta the gym by a 7-23 team.

By the loss tonight, ODU will tie Blaine’s year ending record of 25 losses. The next loss this year, will do it. Yes, I feel sorry for the team (losing 2 players) and having a tough season, but it takes some pressure off of BT.

This is by far the worst team in program history (D1). I don’t want any of these players back. I thought I did, but no thanks.

Definitely the worst team. I was a student during the 6-22 season. That was a tough season but I liked the team. For some reason, I don't like this team, losing aside. I won't be upset to see any of them go into the portal.

It might be an overreaction, but I kind of feel the same way. Not even Jenkins. I feel like he's regressed, and I'm not seeing the upside anymore. Maybe MJ can develop some of these guys, but I won't be disappointed if they all go.

The fact that we have game threads with like 15 posts says it all.

I forgot there even was a game (probably the friday night thing). We stink. Glad we have hope on the other side.
