I'm not advocating this is coming down the pike...but if you're looking for something encouraging for EJ then I think this qualifies.

Well, I just finished watching the press conference and now I'm excited, for next year and the future! He seems good, and I especially especially especially like that he's the spouse of an OHIO grad. I also literally laughed out loud at the "winning team/losing team" anecdote.

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

On the basketball-end of things, does anyone know how the lockerroom renovations are going? Is funding securely in place and have they started the physical renovations yet? Just wondering.

I believe is was shortly following a question about scheduling, I took it as meaning that he was going to try to get his experienced players a schedule that they could get an at large bid. I think John Groce would have scheduled for an at large this upcoming year as well...don't think it is much different. You have veteran kids with high ceiling...you schedule accordingly.  Back to Top UpSan Bobcat General User Member Since: 8/30/2005 Location: Upper Sandusky, OH Post Count: 3,792 Status: Offline     RE: Jim Christian    Posted: 4/4/2012 1:29:54 PM  OhioCatFan wrote: Did anyone else notice the implication in one of JC's comments yesterday (can't remember if it was the presser or a media interview) in which he said we need to set a goal of winning the MAC regular season title and then implied with the current team that that would probably set us up for a NCAA bid regardless of MAC tourney finish.  That last part kind of slid off his tongue, almost as a throw away line, but he clearly implied it.  Sounded to me that he's got a slightly different angle on these matters than JG did.  [ I was thinking more along the lines that if you put yourself in position to win the MAC regular season tournament, you're going to be in good position to do well in the postseason, as well.

All you need is one to play to their potential and then lose the MAC Tourney. That is true. And if both play to their potential with neither winning the tourney, the MAC conceivably could get 3 in, although I doubt that's ever happened.
