Marshall just whacked Akron a few days ago. WKU played tight with Nova and beat Purdue. Maryland is Maryland. What's your guess on how we come out of this stretch? I hate to be pessimistic, but I think 1-2 is pretty likely. I'd be happy with 2-1.

I'd be very pleased with 2-1. A lot depends on how they look, we could go 0-3 but battle to the end and I wouldn't be upset.

We're going to take some punches in these games. If we go 0-3, did we fight until the end like we did against Clemson, or did we fold when the going got tough.

Just want to see continued improvement and just get ready for January. Each game presents unique challenges and winning any of them is going to be tough. Want to see if we can do something in the Marshal game that we weren't able to do last year which is stay disciplined.

If we can take a lead in any of the games, even 2-0, I think we can moral it out. I just want them to be Ford tough. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

I think 1-2 is reasonable. I think 2-1 would be a huge feather in their cap considering the short roster/injuries they're dealing with.

Being serious now, I'm with Mark on this thought, particularly Carter. That, plus playing solid D, and seeing continued development from the young guys that will provide important depth for the rest of the season (Gollon, Butler, BVP, Gareri). Honestly, as a fan right now, the end result is less important. Now, if we saw a healthy squad from the start of the season to now, I'd expect to beat WKU at home and Marshall on the road.

Once injuries mounted, non conference essentially became preseason to me. Fun to see them play, but results meaningless really.

Seriously though, I hope that we win two out of three of the games. I hope our team plays with no fear and we get a couple of upsets. I hope that Jason is able to get his feet wet and contribute. These are very athletic teams so we will need to lock down on defense and box out, allowing second shots will kill us. The only thing that would disappoint me is if we played nervous or played with fear. I want our team to feel confident before heading into our MAC schedule.
