Scrimmage Against South Dakota State

[C0|dB|00ded]

Schools like Eville and SDSU run everything through one guy out of necessity. We don't need to do that.

This scrimmage went down just like ours did against K-State a few years ago. One team was physically and athletically overwhelming in every way with the smaller team keeping diligent score in hopes of providing some positive spin to the players.

HCGM knows how to teach defense, in fact many coaches know how to teach defense. Yesterday HCGM was interested in seeing some of the intangibles that impact how dangerous a team is offensively. I'm sure he was really happy with the offense. When the fans fill the seats, the defense will be there and the scoring margin will spread significantly.

It's not likely you'll see a better understanding of what happened yesterday. I'm still not buying Cold's undefeated campaign, but I am starting to warm to it.

Believe.

I think we "won" the scrimmage.

I imagine Marshall's messge after the scrimmage was something like this:

"You didn't play defense and they beat you. Do you want a team like South Dakota State to beat you in the refular season or would you like for me to tell you how to avoid losing to teams like that"?

With all the new players, it can be tough getting everybody on the team on the same page and accepting what the coaching staff is trying to implement. If the Shox lost one segment of the scrimmage, that's probably a "win" because the new guys need to understand that they have to play by and to Marshall's standards, or they're going to be losing basketball games.

Excellent point, Aargh. Anytime you can "lose" and learn something as a result while not having it cost you anything, that's a very good outcome.

[ripemupshocks]

Yeah, me too. But that's the way it goes. We'll just have to root for KU. You want to start the "Fire Marshall 2013" thread or should I?

No need. HCGM is taking the Wake Forest job.

What did Thomas Paine have to say about "roundball"? :D

This is what Thomas Paine had to say as follows:

"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."

Everyone knows that. I wanted his "common sense" comments about "games with balls." (I'll bet he was a Shocker fan. :D )

Great finish... Wolters with 30.

I'd say they were a worthy scrimmage opponent.
