Steve Forbes credibility watch

How is winning just a little over half of all your games and a little over half of your games over the better teams you play a “good resume”?

Regardless the tournament should include the best teams not the best resumes.

Eh wins and losses have to matter in sports even though they aren’t the best predictive measure.
 
Best teams, not resumes? Nice theory, but since every team does not play every team you gotta have some sort of measurement for comparison. Currently far from perfect.

No. A sample size of 20+ years in which no Big 10 team has won the NCAA tourney.

Each season is weighed on its own. Do a 10 year sample of football and you would normally have SEC teams in the playoff with an occasional Clemson from the ACC, OK from B12 & Ohio St from B10. Going to 12 teams next year gets 5 SEC teams in.

The Big Ten has actually gotten a lot teams to the FF in this same 20+ year stretch since Izzo won their last title in 2000. Just not a whole lot of success lately.

The problem is that we don’t see much to build on for next year. You can suffer through a mediocre year of freshmen being freshmen if they all have flashes. We don’t have that. We have a rag tag group of mediocre transfers and a couple homegrown players. Appleby will be gone and we’ll be left with Hildreth and Marsh with flashes of Monsanto and Carr. That’s not much to look forward to.

It pains me to say it but Forbes ain’t the guy.

No doubt Forbes has a great personality and a good sense of humor. He is also entertaining to watch and listen to. He is an upgrade over the last 2 clowns. Manning was simply dumb and Bz was an ass. So saying he is better than the last 2 coaches isn’t saying much. He is paid to be a basketball coach and many are saying he “can coach”. I just don’t see it. His teams lack basic fundamentals and at times appears lazy. He had 2 NBA players on the team last year and some other good pieces. He choked down the stretch with sloppy, lazy play and missed the tournament. This year’s team plays sloppy and frankly dumb at times just like last year’s team but with less talent…therefore the shit show that was displayed today. It ain’t getting better anytime soon. Forbes is not the guy to turn our program around…at least his personality makes him a little more tolerable.

Seems to have built okay for this year.

By SEC teams you mean Bama, UGA, or LSU
