LSu by 30.......and Tennessee by 50
I'm afraid you are probably very close in your prediction. If the Techsters read this board, then I'm certain they feel deflated. I realize I have been very negative about the team this year, but I don't blame the young women. They must be motivated and coached to want to win. I've watched the Techsters for the past few seasons, and it seemed they expected to win. Where is the hunger? Tennessee plays every game (apologies for bringing up Pat and Co.) like it's their last. The LSU game is going to be difficult...extremely difficult. LSU is playing great so far this year, they are loaded, and although I am NOT an LSU fan, and don't care for their coach, Pokey is coaching them well. Yes, they've not won a title yet, but we really shouldn't be using that an a comparison any longer. If we lose to Iowa, and pull out at least one win in the USM tourney, we could easily be 1-11 or 2-9 by end of December. That is unthinkable, but looking at the schedule, it's not improbable.
Again, I'll gladly serve myself the crow when proven wrong.
From my reports, we will not have more than 2 or 3 wins by the end of December. If that is true, then 30 - 40 point losses may happen. I know if I am LSU I would run up the score as much as possible to put the FINAL nail in the coffin of ANY "national profile/power" we USE to have. It is over it appears and it really stinks. Makes me sad and pissed.
Coaching is a problem. When you see the same er, problems, reoccurring over and over and especially when it carries over season to season, then the coaches are not doing their job. For instance, the shooting woes. This is not new. It was a problem with this bunch two years ago. So, either the coaches should cure the problem or bench those that are not curable.
Got my tickets in the mail today! i've been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced. I have to admit i'm nervous about this one though.
GO TECHSTERS!
