Xavier’s game Saturday vs Villanova has been postponed! Could Dan get a game in Cincinnati Saturday?
Because I am a Redbird fan, and I love watching Redbird basketball (win or lose). 1996 I drove five hours to watch a game start @ midnight. The weather was bitter, the Bearcats were ranked #5 in the country, and the Redbirds were going to get their asses kicked. So why did I go? Because i’m A Redbird fan. Oh yeah, the Redbirds lost that game by 34. Guess you would say they should have never scheduled that game, and I would say you were wrong!Why? We'll lose by 50
I miss when you could go to games at oddball times, like the 24-hour tipoff ESPN used to do. Closest was the 9pm game vs Loyola a couple years back.Because I am a Redbird fan, and I love watching Redbird basketball (win or lose). 1996 I drove five hours to watch a game start @ midnight.

I think a game next weekend would be nice. A two-week layoff from gameplay probably is not advantageous.I am all for a game, but if I were coach I would have a list a mile long on what needs to be accomplished in upcoming practices. There are times when teams need games more than practices, but I think ISU needs to take advantage of the practice time at this point.

I was thinking a week straight of practice is needed. Thanks for reminding me that it actually would be a 2 week lay-off, if we don't reschedule. I forgot teams will now have a week straight to practice on a weekly basis this year.I think a game next weekend would be nice. A two-week layoff from gameplay probably is not advantageous.
According to Jon Rothstein, Valpo starts back up on January 4th.I wonder when valpo will be clear to play again. Maybe they can make up these two games mid next week.
I believe that message resulted in a game with Mississippi which the Redbirds won.
That tweet was nice, but he’d get more responses if he did away with the “home and home” crap.I think Dan needs to retweet his crybaby message to p5 schools and beg for a game. Would be nice to play Ohio State again
Exactly. look at Wichita and Gonzaga. There comes a point where if youre good long enough theyll come to your place. WIN and everything else takes care of itself. Schedule, better recruits, attendance, donors, etcThat tweet was nice, but he’d get more responses if he did away with the “home and home” crap.
Play anyone, anywhere, at any time...without the expectation of a return game. At some point you’ll get there.
The upside of this philosophy is tremendous since recruits mostly care about one thing...being on TV.
