This team has taken on it's coach's personality. They play with very little intensity. We never put lesser teams away. It was the same last year and it's the same again this year.

It was the same when Strong was at UofL with Bridgewater.

I beg to differ, at L'ville, they had blowouts. We haven't had those yet.

Gave up 14 points in the first half and 28 points in the second half...so much for getting better as the game goes on.

look closely at his years at UofL. the year they beat UF in the bowl game

they beat Rutgers 20-17

lost to UConn 23-20 in 3 OTs

lost to syracuse 45-26

beat cincy 34-31 in OT

beat USF 27-25 when we were hot garbage

beat southern miss 21-17

beat FIU 28-21

beat UNC 39-34

 

those are a lot of close games against a lot of bad teams. that was with a 1st round QB and many other NFL players

That’s CCS Ball...Double up on your BP meds Bulls fans.  We’re in for quite a stretch of games.

Still that's only 8 games. You still have 5 games in which they could have blowouts including the bowl game. What I'm seeing with the Bulls are closer then expected games with lesser teams then L'ville plaid. That's my focus and the overall lack of intensity.

8 games in his best season as a coach by far.

they beat pitt by 10. UF by 10.

They did blowout temple and missouri state.

 

he has never been known to blowout opponents. he plays bad teams close. always has and always will. we were 3-9 that year and had a chance to win that game. most teams on that schedule were garbage. remember he had the first losing season at Texas in forever and lost to Kansas for the first time since 1938

 

his teams take on his personality. they play with no fire. he lacks any emotion

I can put a lack of fire on the players, not the coach. Someone needs to step up in the locker room and inject fire... I don’t need my head coach losing his ****.. I’d like that fire to come from the players

Last year we had a ton of vocal senior leadership and they’re gone and no one has stepped up in to that role on this team and is shows.

Exactly... I put the lack of fire on the locker room... some of those young men, regardless of age, and light a fire

What happened to Kierston Johnson, Andre Polk, and Naytron Culpepper?
