ASU goes down. How is this loss going to play in Jonesboro?

I believe the game was in Jonesboro. Don't think many of their fans are surprised after their loss to SAU.

I bet they get a new coach.

Not well.

This might be one of our worst teams in school history. I'm struggling to find more than a couple D1 caliber players.

We can only hope. The Fire Brady's have been running since last year...we just have to hope our AD decides to listen.

The AD should have the time to look for one, he won't have to worry about anyone hiring away his new football coach after only one year.

Some on your board were saying (or maybe Brady was saying) this was your most talented team since he's been there.

Note from your board tonight. ASU had a 19 point lead. UT-Martin won 8 games last year and had 2 starters back.

Maybe he meant they are talented and can dance or maybe they can sing. Sounds like we just might be able to sweep those guys this year. That would be great.

ASU has a ton of new Juco's. Brady may not be the savior some in Jonesboro believed, when he was hired, but he is not a bad coach. He will get this team playing better and they will give us all we want and more. They'll be middle of the pack in the Belt, at worst, when all is said and done.

That was Brady and one or two of our fans who lap up what he says as absolute gospel.

We are talking about the same Brady who has now dodged two straight postgame radio interviews.

I'm Shocked football is 6-4. Anderson is a great coach, but we've lost so many players to injuries, we're down to 7 offensive lineman, and can now no longer list a 2 deep at most positions because there is no backup.

5 coaches in 5 years finally gets us. And we could still somehow go 8-4.

Kinda like here, where a FEW still swear by the gospel of Shields after twelve LONG years.

There is one difference. Brady had a pretty good resume, having taken teams pretty far in the NCAA tournament. Coaching isn't his problem. It's finding and keeping good players, a problem every mid major faces. I agree with MJS that it's way too early to judge ASU at this point. Who knows. They could win the whole thing before it's over. I will reserve judgement until the season is over. Then we'll know instead of speculating.

It's not speculating to say that ASU is not a good basketball team right now. They will be better later in the year. How much better is the question.

Atmosphere wont be much better. The UTM loss was the last straw for several of our fans, who are now vowing never to return until a coaching change is made. If UCA beats us in a couple weeks, god help our fans.

Place was like a morgue last night.

I can recall when South Carolina wasn't in the SEC and they were a mediocre football program, but they filled the stadium for every game. And they have a large stadium. Over 75,000 as I recall. That's what I call great fans. I don't know who their coaches were during those years, but the fans couldn't have been satisfied with them, but they supported the program anyway. That's what I call great fans. Everyone doesn't win all the time. ASU is probably never going to be happy with their coach. They got rid of Nelson Catalina, Dickie Nutt, and now they want Brady gone. Maybe they should face up to the fact that ASU is not a national power. Nor is UALR.

I don't think it's unreasonable to aspire to win the league every year, but every team is paying coaches good money to win, and only one team each year can do that. I just think we get too caught up with winning and not just enjoying the experience. I'm not saying I enjoy losing. Nobody does. Sometimes you need coaching changes. Other times you just need to allow the process to work. If ASU fans are not attending games, which is their privilege, they can't expect a winning program. You put a full house at every home game, and it gives you a better chance to win. It charges up your players. That's what a home field advantage is. But if you have a thousand fans in an arena that seats 5000-10000 you lose that advantage. That's part of our problem at UALR. We can't consistently draw enough fans to create that home advantage. Will a new coach change things? Maybe. I personally believe a coach should get five years at a mid major to get the program to a higher level. If he or she doesn't, you need to move on to another coach. I'm sure if the powers that be at ASU feel a new coach will put more bodies in the seats, I would expect them to make a change. I believe the new AD at UALR will evaluate our program and make a decision based upon where the program was twelve years ago, and where it has been since then before making any changes. Which is as it should be. Coaches come and coaches go. Some just take longer to go.

ASU has always had a "What have you done for me lately" fan base. Same is true with football, though its gotten better over the years. Basketball's biggest problem in Jonesboro is that it will always play 2nd fiddle to football, and if we have a successful football program, our fans are going to look at the God Awful basketball program and wonder why they would even bother showing up.

Not to mention the basketball itself is very poor quality and hard to watch.

Good news for us is that Mohajir did fire our Women's Soccer Coach last week after our 1-9 league season, so we know he's watching our smaller programs like basketball closely, and wont let them fall off.

He was on the postgame last night, took all the blame for the loss, Stoltz tried to blame it on the face we were short two of our top players but Brady quickly cut him off and said , that is for others to say not me. I have to get us to win with what we have available, he said he has to find a way to get our team to play defense. He said we didn't do it last year and we haven't so far this year.

Now as far as last nights game in the first half we played an outstanding game but the second half our defense just got beat all that half. Offense was still pretty good b ut no defense.

That is the way it looked from the stats.

I'm sure I'll come across like a Homer but Coach Brady has had quite a few Bad breaks since he's been here, he's not had a year yet that he hasn't lost a player that he's been counting on for various reasons. I have a feeling he will put it together but I think we really need hardwick to get back in the lineup soon.

He has leaned pretty heavy on Juco, which I don't like . Attendance is down but it's been down long before he got here and it's going to take extra good teams for a couple of years to get some to come back. Some won't ever come back because they are content in staying home and watching on tv or the internet or dead.

Brady has won 19 games back to back, first time in like 25 years.
