I keep checking to see if there is an 11W post stating that "Holtmann has been relieved of his duty". Seems like the proper move regarding the basketball program. It didn't work out so it's time to move on.

Could still get a 1st round NIT showdown with SCUM if this team gets hot and wins a few games.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see close games become a thing of the past. Other teams will continue to improve while we keep regressing. I could see many lopsided games in our near future.

Holtmann is a great coach. He just needs more time to clean up Matta's mess. /S /S /S

That chihuahua is the best player on the court, by far.

WOW!!! Basketball usually has a sense of beauty to it. This game is setting the sport back 100 years.

First team to 40 wins.

I have been out of the college basketball loop, so I missed a few OSU games. This is really bad basketball. The B1G is WAY DOWN this year. Good thing or this team would struggle to find wins in the other P5 conferences.

Yep, he gone!! It's the right decision for CJ

Hartline will succeed, but Coombs was an unproven commodity too. That one didn't work.

I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that some claim Holtmann is better than prime Matta. I happened to enjoy winning the B1G and going to the Final Four more than losing to conference bottom feeders.

Just wait till he gets "his guys". /s

Make even more $$$ if you bet against them in March.

They are too busy trying to convince us that Holtmann is WAY better than Matta. Just wait until Holtmann gets a team like the '86 Celtics to play a college schedule. He could easily make the Sweet 16 with Bird, McHale, and Parish.

Sign him up!!!!!

I don't know about that. The Soviets manhandled the NHL all star team several times before the Olympics. My bet would have been on the Soviets to win the Stanley Cup quite easily. Probably a better hockey team than our Dream Team basketball squad.

Folks say Knowles needs "his guys" for his system to work. He might want to start winning some of these recruiting battles or his time here will be short.

No college kids would EVER beat the Soviet Union either, until it happened.

Georgia, Ohio State, or Alabama beating the Texans would be much less of an upset than the 1980 USA hockey team beating the Soviet Union.

I think the term "must win game" is overused in sports, but The Game sure feels like a "must win game" this time around.

Meh-dont let the polls bother you. We don't know what we have in McCord and/or Brown yet. Hopefully they don't end up like a DJU or other 5* QBs that didn't get it done, but one never knows. I think the pollsters are expecting a bigger drop-off between Stroud (the best QB in the country) and our next guy up than they are between Clifford (not a very good QB) and Allar. That seems fair.

That AFC South is TERRIBLE. I might pick Georgia to win that division.

I'm pleasantly surprised at our ranking after finishing on a 2 game losing streak and breaking in a new QB. Georgia's performance last night helped us as far as next year's ranking.

We have been pretty close under Day. Unfortunately, it has ended in heartbreak. Time to win a few of these high profile games.

Hopefully Knowles issues a public statement saying that he realizes he used up his cache of gaffes already and that he understands it has to be at least adequate with the big games on the line from here on out.
