[Class of 73 Alum]

Originally Posted by T-Bone 84 The closest parallel to this season (in recent memory, anyway) for this program was 2004-05. BG’s 2nd year. Roughly half the squad was new, and the previous Senior class (Waleskowski, Marshall, Finn) had left its imprint all over the record book. But that team had slightly more returning experience (Jones, Scott, Williams, Bennett), and it was BG’s 2nd year at UD, not his 1st. That team was 1-3 after 4 games. But they had some December games at home that allowed them to jell, and they went on to an 18-11 campaign. Not postseason-worthy, but not abysmal either. My question is: which team will show-up for the remainder of the season? The one that played like dog vomit for the first 20 minutes last night? Or the one that totally outplayed MSU the last 20 minutes, only to get out-coached in the final 30 seconds? I’m guessing, as the season progresses, we’ll see more times when the team battles through as it did in the 2nd half last night. But there’ll also be some occasions when they look as bad as they did in the first 20. I can see a final win total for this year of somewhere between 16 & 19. Anything better? Thanks! Anything less? Figure out why we came up short, and fix it for 2018-19. Posted via Mobile Device

Out coached in the last 30 seconds??? What did Howland do in the last 30 seconds to outcoach Grant???
