[QUOTE="Genbukan, post: 2831912, member: 4945"] Out of touch with reality? To me that would be expecting us to win national championships every 5 years. I have never seen or heard any TCU fan expect that. I believe the expectation is that we would always be competitive (no 30 and 40 point embarrassments) and finish in the top half of the conference. In a conference that routinely gets 7 teams to the dance i don't think that is unrealistic at all for a program that has invested in hoops like we now have. I would go as far as to say the fans out of touch with reality are the ones who continue to throw out baylor-sque type of excuses for the piss poor product that has been put on the floor since late December 2018. If you watched, really watched, our first exhibition game this season against a D III Non Scholarship team you saw the issues. I am hard pressed to see ANY improvement in those flaws since that game. Yeah we have an occasional game where someone gets hot and can help Bane but the sloppy passing, the inattention to detail, the non existent offensive flow, the inability to get a talented athlete like Samuel to contribute offensively on anything other than an open dunk, the chicken with its head cut off defensive rotations and the negligible contributions from ANOTHER highly ranked freshman class......this isn't a rebuilding season. This is a cluster! The problem is there is talent here. In my almost 50 years of watching frog basketball i am not sure i have ever seen anything like this squad. I have seen plenty of teams that have had substantially less talent than this one but i have never seen a lesser return on that talent. This team gets the award for doing less with more. I say again...this is not a call for CJD to be fired here and now. There are a handful of reasons why that is not a good decision. But his seat needs to start getting hot. This is the kind of product that drives a fragile fanbase away a long time. [/QUOTE]
