Like many posters here I dont realize that if Tobi and TJ were in those games we would have been comfortably ahead and without them we had team chemistry issues. Did you not read what I said. I started with in the first paragraph and closed in the final paragraph that injuries hurt this team and we might have won 3 or 4 more games. You missed the point totally. We had the advantage for 38 or 39 minutes in those games without those players. Its not asking a lot to play 1 or 2 more minutes without them to hold on. We wouldnt have collapsed against Stanford had TJ played. Are you serious. TJ didnt play and we had a 13 point lead with 3 minutes to go. So you are saying we dont need TJ to build a 13 point lead but we need him to not blow one. I pointed out losses to Stanford SMU and Miami and you respond to that by saying if Tobi and TJ are there those games arent close at the end. Thats an incredible leap. Our one excellent win of the season over UVa was lets see, without Tobi TJ or Dorn. I like Tobi and wish he wasnt a senior but he played the last 12 games and we were 4-7 (I wont count last night since Hansberry was out). Even without TJ, a starting 5 of Hammond Avdelas Hansberry Lawal and Bedford is pretty good. I would say one of the better ones than we typically have. The problem with posters who have inside information or coached before is you think you are smarter than everyone else. You have no clue the background of posters. The other point the staunch defenders of the program miss are this, we fans arent just fans, like a public business, we are shareholders of the program. Why is this, because we donate money to the athletic department and spend more money by having season tickets to multiple sports. And we are begged by the Athletic Department to give more. Our opinions are just as relevant as yours. Sports arent rocket science. Missing injured players or not, you have a lead for 38 or 39 minutes and consistently lose it, you collapsed ** Edited by Battlesuggs at 3/11/2026, 7:36:19 PM
