He's a real peach, eh?

So Texas A&M is following up their disaster football season by taking their #24 ranking to the Myrtle Beach Invitational, and losing by 9 to Murray State, and then by 30 to Colorado.  Playing for last place in the tournament on Sunday

Other P5 programs struggling, FSU and Cal are both 0-4

MSU almost blew another double digit lead, but hung on to beat Villanova by 2

I still don't understand how he wasn't fired after he swung on another coach. His ass should've been gone right then and there. They fired the football coach for doing WAY less. Gary Moeller got fired for being drunk in public. Howard punched another coach on the court in a game. Wondering if his race has anything to do with it. If it was a white guy his ass would've been gone imo.

Can he even really coach? He'd never been a head coach or coached in college, he was an assistant in the NBA for a few seasons and then he was handed a top P5 job because why....he went to school at Michigan? Seems like he's just a recruiter.

That Florida State thing is kind of stunning. Cal much less so.

Am I alone in being a bit disappointed with the B1G's start so far?

I want to make the disclaimer here that it is early and we don't really know how good the opposition is but I don't think thus looks as good as I was expecting. 

Eight of our teams are undefeated but from eyeballing their opponents the only possibility impressive wins are:

• UCLA by Illinois 
• Georgetown by Northwestern 
• Seton Hall by Iowa
• Xavier by Indiana (but only by a bucket and IU is supposed to be our best team)
• Marquette by Purdue (but close and at home)
• Stanford by Wisconsin 

Ohio State and Maryland are undefeated also but against schedules so weak that it is meaninglessness. 

The other six teams each have one loss and MSU's one point loss to Gonzaga is almost certainly a good loss but the others are:

• VaTech by PSU
• ASU by Michigan by 25
• Temple by Rutgers 
• DePaul by Minnesota by 16
• St.Johns by Nebraska by 20

Thoughts?

Pretty ugly is about all I can say.

nebraska continues to SUCK!

Pretty ugly is about all I can say.

Not getting any better. Since I posted that:

• Illinois lost at home to UVA
• Michigan needed OT at home to beat a NAC school 
• Ohio State got drilled by SDSU in Maui
• Minnesota needed OT at home to escape California Baptist (which I've never even heard of) by a single point
