I’m intrigued by the prospect of McCollum as coach. We need a total makeover and have had too many misses with our recruiting over the past several years.

We've got Pollard officiating? Lovely.
I know Pollard made an awful call on the Carmichael kick. But since then, what has he done or what call has he made against ISU that has been so wrong or so memorable? The truth is he is a pretty decent D-1 basketball official and works in conferences a lot higher than the MVC. Some people on this board make him out to be the scum of the earth. Some people on this board like to place blame on officials for our poor play. Instead of placing plane on the officiating, put the blame where it belongs… on the team. We simply are not good.

Was he the ref on ”the Carmichael kick?” I don’t remember.

What I remember is the game he made an ass of himself by trying to be the center of attention. He threw a fan out at halftime.

Pollard AND Heimerman ... both Redbird (and basketball in general) killers
Not!!! The blame is not on the officiating. The blame is on how poor we play. Are you watching how atrocious we are playing tonight and have played the last several years? It ain’t the officiating that is causing us to lose.

Have you ever asked the fan what he said to Pollard? Once you know that answer, you’ll know why he was kicked out.

No one is blaming the officials. We’re just commenting on their competence.

As for losing this game or any game, our Birds need no help. They are quite capable on their own.

Pollard is a decent official. But he tends to make sure he becomes the focal point during important moments of games. So far tonite, I think he's just saving energy for the weekend when more people will be watching.

After coming back and tying the game we give up 10 unanswered points. Embarrassing way to lose.

We look completely inept on the offensive end. If we don’t make 3’s we have no offense. If it wasn’t for turnover breakouts we might not break 40

For long time fans, compare Freeman to point guards Michael McKenny, Jamar Smiley, Vince Green, or Richard Thomas. There is no valid comparison. Yet another recruiting miss.

He was a different player before he got hurt. But hell maybe I was too optimistic because he has become a liability in Valley play.

Nobody's blaming the officials. That doesn't mean we have to like certain officials or be happy when they're calling our games. I'm not a fan of Pollard. Doesn't matter who's playing.
