Week 8 discussion Thread

Not sure either, I thought that someone said that was an issue last night again.

If a player shoved Coach Wardle wouldnt this have been reported on? Captured on video? I have yet to see actual evidence that this occurred.

The fan had nothing to do with Primm shoving coach Wardle. I think the blame is misplaced here...one team controlled their emotions and one team didnt.

seems like a normal handshake line to me...but I'm just watching a video of it that shows no drama. soooo... maybe i missed something? lol

I'm a MSU alum and fan, so obviously, i'm biased, but if what was said happened, yes, absolutely unacceptable, but the video doesn't show anything happening that i can see.

Also to call him a roid rager is a little disingenuous... I kinda hope MO State does see them in St Louis, and Prim and Tulio put up a double double.

That overzealous ref needs to be suspended for that bogus flagrant 1 call.

Your bias is palpable. As one who is not a fan of either team, to call that a bogus flagrant 1 is ridiculous. Primm was out of control from the start of the game. Dana Ford is quickly turning that program into an embarrassment of the Valley.

I didn't have much issue with the flagrant. i thought the technical was a little overkill immediately after, but you also can't toss the ball or whatever at a ref like that either.

the delay of game technical they called on him early in the second half was laughable and the commentators said it was a bad call as well. but that's what happens sometimes when you are already on thin ice.

Clearly I am biased... Did the name give it away?

There are several things that Coach Ford does that I don’t like... but his passion is not one of them.

If that is what you consider passion, then sure. Honestly just an observation, no one on the team seems to be enjoying themselves, especially Dana. A positive culture results to more sustainable success than anything else.

The refs for the Loyola/ISUr game yesterday were also awful. Not in favor of either team, just pretty terrible all around; I'll even say I was baffled multiple times for calls in Loyola's favor. It was like they kept trying to even the calls out with makeups.

It would be very nice if you would not discuss things for which you know absolutely nothing about. Some of us are just a bit closer to the situation regarding the "enjoyment" factor. Coach Ford has been preaching toughness and playing hard all season, but this team didn't seem to respond to that until Feb 5th against ILST. Since then, different team. Practices are upbeat, focused and smiles have returned to coaches and players. The kids have got to want it, and apparently, they have finally woke up to that fact. So, please spare me the positive culture speak.
