First of all, enough already with the childish insults. Posting crap like 'Howland's Clowns' every other game is silly and counter-productive.
With that said, while it isn't time to panic just yet, it is time to be concerned. I am concerned to be seeing in this team the same hallmarks noted throughout CBHs tenure and that is a clear tendency for inconsistency and underachievement. That cannot happen this season and him continue as our head BB coach. We do still have plenty of time to avoid that but this is not a good year in the SEC to be dropping noncon games you are a 10 point favorite at home and still searching for your identity as conference play approaches. With women's BB dormant and the men's program still trying to wake up from a long post-stans hibernation, I think the hump is just begging to spring back to life. Unfortunately, Ben's teams have this knack for dropping a deuce between the sheets just when it looks like they might be ready to get the hump rocking again.
I don't care how good the SEC is this year. The minimum acceptable outcome for this team HAS to be an NCAAT bid and I really don't think it should be close but I think that notion may be already out the window. Go DOGS!
