We can’t beat their rodeo team. We just beat who is on our schedule.

Definitely not losing sleep over it. I agree with you that some of the people on our board have soft skin and would freak about it. I wouldn’t care what so ever because it’s a fan forum and means nothing. I promise whatever is said about me on any online forum doesn’t affect my everyday life. I have more important things to worry about. You definitely can only beat the people on your schedule and you guys can’t control that you are doing what you have to. I just find it interesting that a month ago some people on here weren’t sure if Lee knew what he was doing and if his recruiting strategy works and now you beat 3 teams who haven’t beaten anyone and everything is all better.

First of all, please provide quotes of what you think is over the top. I also read everything posted on this site, and have not seen any outrageous claims. Just fans feeling encouraged by improved play. Also, why do you care?

I don’t post here at all but I read pretty much every post. I understand that you guys are on a heck of a run since you beat us in sf and you deserve every right to be excited with how far this team has come and should be excited that you are sitting atop the standing by yourself at 5-0 but let’s be real you should be. If you guys think you are more than a middle of the pack team all of these first 8 games are must wins if we are being serious. You have not played a top half team yet and won’t until you play us the first weekend of February. The teams you have beat are a combined 8-29 and 6 of those wins are against non division 1 teams so you have played 3 teams in conference who have won 2 games against D1 teams in 31 tries. If you can’t beat those teams without your best player maybe you are aren’t a top half team. If you drop one of these next 3 games you might struggle to stay in the top half let alone top 2 or 3. I guess what I’m trying to say is maybe pump the brakes on this team turning the corner until you beat someone who has beat someone with more than a pulse. I’m sure this might not be taken too kindly coming from a jacks fan but if you honestly sit back and think about it it’s the truth. Uhh...same to you? This post is so embarrassing it's worth wondering if it's under a false flag. I suppose crushing state meant nothing. That's what you insinuate.

I believe that Western Illinois and UMKC will win some of their home games this year. Talk about sour grapes from a Jackrabbit fan. If the Jacks drop any of those so called easy road games will you be back to comment on that. I seriously doubt it. I think someone is still butt hurt from the whipping that Umude put on the Rabbits.

I am not even 1% concerned about blowing the big lead. If I was a Yote fan and they were down 35 in the first place I would be upset regardless of how big of a run they made. Much of the reason for a big second half comeback is because the team that is leading loses their aggression and gets complacent. Who cares basically.
6-0 is 6-0 any way you slice it.

I’ll own it. I’ve been questioning this staff for a long time. I was pretty upset a month ago, but I don’t believe everything is all of the sudden better. No conference games can be taken for granted, regardless of record. Both USD and SDSU have been one seeds in the tournament. We nearly got knocked off by the no. 8 seed in 2017, and, well, I don’t think I have to remind anyone what that same no. 8 seed did to the Jacks In 2019. I think we are encouraged by the progress we have seen the last four weeks but the reality is it doesn’t mean anything until the clock hits 0:00 on a Tuesday night March.

I’m excited mainly because they actually look like a team and seem to have found their rotations, roles, and some chemistry. Am I declaring us the favorites to win it all? Of course not. As others have noted, in conference play, exactly who has SDSU beat? Those records aren’t great and I think they were home games. Plus, I remember watching the Dakota round Robin in December. Yeah, USD went 1-2 and the one win was against a team without their best player and their second best played half the game. And required a herculian effort by Umude. But the 2 games they lost were basically one possession games, bot blowout losses. A team is allowed to get better and the fans are allowed to be encouraged. It is a fascinating case study that whenever USD fans get the least bit excited about anything (especially men’s sports) that Jack fans are always quick to try to take a shot at us or pour some cold water on us. It’s like they feel threatened and have to establish their territory like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant.

Secondarily, I would be happy just to see Todd Lee get to day 2 of the SLT. We’ve seen flashes of good play from his teams in his tenure, but we need to see more consistency and some wins when it counts.

I think we are encouraged by the progress we have seen the last four weeks but the reality is it doesn’t mean anything until the clock hits 0:00 on a Tuesday night March. You don't have to own anything. Many Coyote fans were concerned about this team not only coming into the season but after the first few games. Something has since clicked with this team. Lee deserves credit for that. With that said the comments from the Jacks fan were unwarranted because no Coyote fan has come out claiming that the Coyotes are a great team and gonna stomp over the rest of the league. I think most Coyote fans are just pleasantly surprised right now and I doubt anyone thinks this team is going undefeated in the league and probably not close. Much of the success has been being a great team when the games have been on the line in the last 5 minutes. The Coyotes have really owned that part of the game. Some teams just have the knack for being a good finishing team. It looks like this team is quickly becoming just that. The Coyotes turned the confidence of winning those close games into a total butt kicking of the Leathernecks last night despite the huge comeback. I don't judge either team good or bad based on what happens after a team has a 35 point lead with 13:00 to go. That is a 99.99% chance of a win at that point in time. Eventhough the WI make an unbelievable run, there is a reason a big leads means something because even after a huge turnaround that lead still ended up being safe in the end. Most teams that make huge second half runs end up running out of gas and losing anyway. The bottom line is that I don't think any Coyote fan is getting a big head about anything, just a nice feeling about this turnaround. To say otherwise is pretty much false because I have not read anyone saying anything even close to that.
