It's hard for me to grasp how abysmally the first month of this season has gone. It just about HAS to get better, right?

If Bama was undefeated and Milroe got hurt in one of the last 2 games and couldn't play, I guarantee they would've put Bama in and ESPN wouldve been leading the charge. Only in college sports do we have old geezers sitting in a room watching 27in. TVs determining a championship playoff. It would be like the NFL putting in the Jets and Giants because of their market size over Green Bay/Jacksonville for the wild card. That said, as a viewer, I'd rather watch Bama/Michigan 😂 Bama wouldn't have won their last two without him. Heck, they only beat Auburn on a miracle and an absolutely atrocious defensive performance gift given to them by Auburn. The truth of the matter is the SEC is heads and tails better than the ACC from top to bottom. If Bama was in the ACC, lost Milroe and won their last two games, I would guess the same thing would have happened to Bama. And you can say FSU got hosed, but the truth of the matter is, FSU likely wouldn't have done well against any of the teams that got in. I say this as a Dawgs fan, they put the four best teams in. Yes, the SEC is a better league than the ACC. That said take it for what's it's worth, the ACC was 7-4 versus the SEC. The Noles were 2-0 vs the SEC. Both away from home.

Not sure what happened to that battle cry by some. Trust is earned, not given. I've seen nothing up to this point in the season that leads me to believe that this team will come anywhere close to the preaseason accolades heaped upon them. I would expect a coach with 458 career victories to have come up with an answer by now. That it hasn't happened raises a reasonable red flag for some of us, as does apparently not knowing Green Bay is our rival.

Trust is difficult to earn and easy to lose. In a month of basketball, I’ve lost a bit of trust in him. He needs to do better to earn some of it back.
I’m guessing a lot of us thought pretty highly of PBS after his first D1 win was a blowout at a Big 12 school. That was lost pretty quickly.
Lundy has earned a longer leash than PBS, but this first month has tightened the leash significantly.

The one thing about PBS -- and I was at that game -- is that he had no track record of success. Of course, I was also at the next game against Concordia St. Paul. LOL!

That last sentence is upsetting to me. The fact this wasn't already considered a rivalry is hugely disappointing - especially after losing at home to them last year, one of the worst teams in the nation. Perhaps someone could offer a history lesson to the staff and players. We've only got one actual rival left in this conference. T-BONE!!! I was at the game in Green Bay in 2004 when TJ and pmck very nearly came to blows. Gee, you think this might be a rivalry?!?! Preach brutha! And apply to give a history lesson to these guys on what this rivalry has always been!

Y’all acting like GB-Milwaukee has been a rivalry the last few years… the horizon league doesn’t even see it that way hosting games between the 2 teams in weeknights the last few years and having 500 people in the seats recently. You can think it’s a rivalry but it hasn’t been treated as such in awhile. But I guess keep finding things to nitpick Lundy on since he’s under .500 this year.

Well what about the year before… sh*t we played on a Wednesday and a Sunday matinee. The rivalry has been dead due to both programs being dead and too many of you are still living in past. Hopefully it begins to be built back up.

Almost 2.5k people in attendance at the Arena vs GB last year. And it was a pretty intense crowd just saying.

Just because one or both teams are bad doesn't mean that it's not a rivalry. Did USC/UCLA football stop being a rivalry when the Trojans were winning national titles and the Bruins were a doormat? What about the Packers and Bears? I live in Kenosha and work in Illinois. Think that game doesn't mean something even when we're 11-3 and they're 3-11?!

As a Bears fan I can affirm that a 2-15 year would be a good year if the 2 wins were against the Packers.
