Yep, and that's consistent with some preseason predictions that the Buckeyes would finish in the bottom third of their conference. That home opener loss in the new arena was a real downer for UC fans; it would have been a statement win heard round the Buckeye State regardless of how OSU's season went thereafter. And it was especially bitter book-ended with the collapse in Nashville still fresh in every fan's mind.

I will give credit to this year's team though for turning this into a solid season, to date. Many challenges ahead but our new motto must be, "with Cumberland, all things are possible".

Yeah I've had trouble buying in or even getting excited about this team after that first game performance. The XU win helped some, but that first game was big on so many levels and we looked like total garbage. Cumberland is the real deal for sure, we just don't have much at all surrounding him.

LOL, I'm sure everyone would be perfectly contented had they just won that OSU game . . .

Can't speak for anyone else at all, but the OSU game was a huge deal to me at least when it came to this season and we didn't even bother to show up against what's turned out to be a very average team.

I was pissed about the OSU game, but felt like it was a hard game to gage this team by because Mick sat his best player, and the only returning guy with key experience being a main guy for 17 minutes in the first half. With that being the first game I thought the others were put in a really bad situation. Uc was a different team in the second half with Jarron.
