If we lose 5 more in row Kennedy will retire or be fired mid season

Don't see a case where he is fired midseason

That was the most uninspired effort at home since Moss State when people actually started walking out in disgust. And that was just last year

I didn't think 1-17. this was my prediction after Arky loss:

We have a CHANCE against, Vandy, Georgia, @Florida. Maybe win 2 of 3.
No chance against Tenn, @Arky, Auburn, @MSU or @OleMiss.
Maybe hope for splits with Mizzou, LSU, Bama, SC.
Should beat KSU at home.

We got a game against Bama on the road so maybe that split is now a sweep - but i doubt it.

Still looking at 6 wins at best, 5 in conference. But they could also tank. We'll see.

If we don't beat Mizzou at home, lose big at Florida, or also lose at home to KSU we are done.
Need to win 2 of these next 3 at least.

Admission should be free or a token $2 for the remainder of the season.


If the AD doesn't care anyway...

I'm thinking strike 3 for StrikeOne.

it's the same script from the same people who defended Sumlin right up until the end.

"its the fans fault"
"who else can we hire that can do better"
"you guess wouldn't be happy if we won a title"

Same ****, different sport.

Yep... those Sumlin clingers wrote the stupidest stuff I've ever read

Don't forget "hold recruiting class intact"

You mean the same AD that fooked over their season ticket holders on the BC game.

It's obvious that most of the posters on this forum will not be happy until somehow A&M can arrange to field a team that stays in the Top 5-10 all season long every season. Until then, it's all gloom and doom explained primarily, if not totally, by having a totally inept head coach (according to the majority). A few of us who have been die hard Aggie fans for 40 plus years have a different perspective. While we'd definitely much prefer a perennial top ten team with a big-name and good character type of head coach, fans like me will be satisfied with seeing a coach who can keep his players (including those with less talent than a lot of other teams have) giving their best every game, hustling, playing as a team and being competitive against all teams that are not vastly superior talent wise. Right now we have that with a coach who also seems to possess an excellent character even though he has not displayed excellent coaching on the floor and even though this year we do not have even average talent on the floor when you factor in our depleted team and overall inexperience.

you know how many seasons we have finished in the top 10......ONCE....ONE TIME in the entire history of the polls. 2006-07. Hell we've only finished in the final top 25 poll 7 more times for a total of 8.


we rank 75th on the AP all-time poll
https://collegebasketball.ap.org/top-100

and 75th in this ranking too
https://fansided.com/2014/10/21/75-greatest-college-basketball-programs-time-statistically-ranked/2/


So sorry but that's asinine. Saying we have to be top 5-10 all season every season. FFS most of us would be thrilled if we were top 10 EVER AGAIN at the end of a season..... or maybe even a part of a season.

Well thats one down..... that offset any positive off of beating Bama on the road.

now we almost have to win the next 2 or this is over and heading south rapidly.

Sticking with 4 and 14

Lost first 2 games when we needed to win 2 of 3.
And now KSU... they got hot beating 3 ranked teams (@ISU, @OU and TT) in their last 4 games.

After that......home game against Vandy might be best bet.

This thing is careening off the road now for sure.

Now 7-11 (1-6)

Narrowing down now:

2-4 wins possible at home vs Vandy and UGA and Bama and maybe a split with SC/@SC
I think almost all of these are unwinnable - Tenn, @Arky, @MSU @OleMiss @Mizzou @LSU

best case is 4 wins in conference I think now. But I doubt we win all of those.

9-23 (3-15)

Bama & KSU's losses to A&M are really stacking up to be bad ones for their postseason resumes. We have become a pox on the rest of the SEC teams schedule!

For what it's worth...there's lots of bad company in the bottom of the conference...

Maybe.... Ags didn't play badly at UK. They seem to be getting marginally better if not consistent.

Oddly, BK teams sometimes get up for KY, other good programs.

Unfortunately, his teams play down to or below inferior competition.

I think most of us just want to see A&M field a consistently competitive team. Kennedy struck gold with NBA talent in both 2015-2016 and 2017-2018. The 2017-2018 team was arguably the most talented men's basketball team a&m has ever put on the court and they finished the year as a disappointing 7 seed in the tourney. His results have been underwhelming. You say you want a team that gives their best every game, hustling, playing as a team and being competitive against all teams that are not vastly superior superior talent wise.This years team has been called out by Auburn, Missouri and LSU for their lack of effort. Auburn's Bryce Brown flat out said "you have a ranked opponent coming into your arena. They probably could have played a little harder" after the Auburn game at Reed Arena. Kennedy is an outstanding human being by all accounts but I think the demands of coaching and running a Power 5 college basketball program are too much for him.

1-17 is still possible, but my best guess is 3-15.

1-8 is horrible, and one win was a blank shot three as time was expiring. Something needs to be done!!

Write a check!

With a few breaks, I really think this team is capable of getting all the way to 2-16!

I've been pretty accurate - but the (hopeful at best) splits are becoming less probable as we have lost the home side of 2 of them but stole the road game at Bama.

We have a CHANCE against, Vandy, Georgia, @Florida. Maybe win 2 of 3.
No chance against Tenn, @Arky, Auburn, @MSU or @OleMiss.
Maybe hope for splits with Mizzou/@Mizzou, LSU/@LSU, Bama/@Bama, SC/@SC.
Should beat KSU at home.

Still Vandy and Georgia are terrible and we have them at home. I'm now thinking 3-15.

If Kennedy and staff can show the team that fewer turnovers

If you have to do that, your players are at the junior high level with the game.
