MVC Games Week 6 2024-25

[MissouriValleyUnite]

Drake swarming the Fighting Bees at halftime, 51-19.

JFC Evansville...

[AcesAces]

Evansville is bad. They are very bad.

3-7 with 2 more non-cons. Then it’s 19 straight MVC games. UE will be lucky to win 10 games this year. Ugh.

Clearly, UE failed in the portal and failed in player retention.

The weakening attendance and the moans and groans from the fans leaving early says it all. The program is not in a better place than it was 8 years ago.

Ragland is not delivering.

How much time is left on Ragland's contract? Are fans calling for a change already? Not sure what Evansville's NIL situation is but that's almost as important these days as who is leading the team.

[MissouriValleyUnite]

Ragland is the nicest, most professional guy you’ll find. I’m rooting for him.

He put together a 17-win team last season with Humrichous hurt, so he has coaching chops. Putting together and sustaining a roster with enough MVC talent seems to be their issue.

Fans were spoiled by last year's success to the point that they disregard that UE lost all it's starters to graduation or the portal along with talented freshman Chuck Bailey III. As of now the team is very young and is still trying mesh new players with returning players.
The only people calling for Ragland's head are malcontents like AcesAces. As far as I know, he is not a member of the Purple Ace Fan forum and apparently has an axe to grind about the program's change in coaches.

The Chuck Bailey that's playing 9 minutes and scoring 3 points a game at Nevada?

That's the big loss?

You can take anything out of context! Sure he is forgotten on the bench at Nevada.
But had he stayed at UE, he would have returned having contributing 19 minutes a game, 8.4 points a game, 35% 3pt shooter, and an 81% free throw shooter from last season.

[MissouriValleyUnite]

Who advised him it would be a good idea to transfer from one mid-major where you would’ve been the top returning player to anther mid-major where you’d average 9 minutes a game with no role in the offense?

[TylerDurden]

Calling me sensitive is a pot and kettle argument and there certainly wasn't any stretch of the truth to embolden previous claims. You have time and time again moaned and groaned about Valpo to the point of beating a dead horse. It seems to be the only team you take such intense issue with. You are the only that constaly has something to say avery time Valpo comes into the conversation and franky its annoying. You just have a superiority complex when it comes to the MVC. By your reasoning. Any add add this point is coming from a league you view as lesser. Hate to break this to you, but the AAC or the A-10 arent interesting in the valley and their condtituents arent either. And discounting an NIT runner up just because they were in the HL is a joke. The NIT is still a competative field against decent teams. I don't have an issue with anyone else, but you seem to just plain hate valpo despite how much you don't want to admit it. Also the issue with valpo being a declining institution is a good point, but once again. Yoy fail to take into account the multiple other valley schools who are also in states of decline. Mostly the constituents who are private, faith based institutions. So quit singling out one specific school when there are other schools with skeletons in the closet

You have an issue with me telling you the harsh reality of Valpo vis-a-vis its MVC membership. Because I'm the only one who puts things so bluntly to the point of insensitivity, I get why you don't like me. Such is life.

I have an issue with people posting BS.

That seems to sum up our relationship.

So pretty please, with a cherry on top and all the warm fuzzy feelings you need during the holiday season, win your damn nonconference home games.
