Probably a bottom 5 take from me all time across all sports. I will admit I over-reacted to one game on that one

My only gripe is every time I see frankiemeatballs post, I think it is David Amata posting LOL ROTFL This coming weekend for the Michigan trip, I am just hoping CSU can manage to win 1 of the 2 Maybe it is?

Saying “you can do better” is not bitching and moaning gentleman. No one is saying this team sucks. You think they can do better than be tied for first in the conference? What were you expectations at the start of the year? I am not surprised there have been inconsistencies it’s a new coach with an entire roster learning to play together. OK, I'll bite. My remarks are targeted at winning the game UIPUI game by 6. Yes, do believe the Vikes can do better, the margin should have wider. Margin is also part of most rating systems. However, if you expand the scope. you can consider the MKE and NK games. Could have Vikes done better (and win)? There are conditions within both contests, you can argue YES. As for my expectations at the beginning of the year, I'm on the record of saying I don't really have expectations either way. This team was a complete unknown to me. The plan was to subscribe to ESPN+/Hulu, watch the games and let my expectations form. Using history as a predictor for teams in the era of “free agency” and NIL is not a great indicator of season-by-season performance by a mid-major team. The turnover is too high for all teams and the HL is not the same as previous years. Thus my expectation of this team is being formulated by my observations of this years performance.

Count me as one pleasantly surprised. Outside of the St. Bonnie, Ohio and YSU games (ignoring NDU), Vikes have competed in every game. Style of play is entertaining and they have some pretty good athletes. They're just a player or two away and am counting on Robinson to rectify that next season. We're still in the hunt for a title so I'm all in. Just wish we could play Ohio again, they really suck.

Interesting, just wishing that a L was a W makes one evil. Ahhhh the old inquistion routine. Funny, how people catagorize others as the "as others" if they state something not of their belief. I'm sorry, this makes laugh.

I'm sorry, this makes laugh. Lighten up and don’t be so dramatic lol BTW, IUPUI’s margin of defeat over the last 5 games: 3 6 6 12 6 The last team to blow out IUPUI? CSU by 35

I was thinking of Mel Brooks "History of the World" the Inquistion scene. I was waiting you to break out in song. Remember "it's good to be the king".
