I am disappointed in the loss. But going completely negative is not the solution.

No Crap!!! You negative nancies are killing me... GET A LIFE!!!!

and everyone killing DG.... we are lucky we have him. A lot of teams wish they had a PG like him. No, he's not the best ever, but considering how rare a "true PG" are, we're lucky. I swear, some of you would find a way to be unhappy if we had John Wall or Derrick Rose.

He sure doesn't have much energy. He usually just walks down the court when we're bringing up the ball on offense...

A post would certainly help but we dont have that. If DG doesn't **** it down his leg today and doesnt go 7-23 in one of the most selfish performances I've ever seen from a PG ISU is 8-0. Like I said as a PG you are held to a higher standard than everyone else and DG isn't reaching that level and its because of laziness.

Ernie may have been a decent coach but he is such a Pac12 homer - you would think he would try to be more impartial wanting to display his talent to go national but maybe he is fine with being a Pac12 shil.

Ditto.

We were fortunate to have the best college pg in the nation for a year or two. We can't expect that consistently, Duke and MSU can't expect that consistently. Most teams have never experienced that.

Even a good pg like Blalock would blow games late and was quite a bit below Tinsley's level of play. DG is a good but not perfect player for us this year, the shame is that McD had him shackled up for his first 3 seasons. This team would be completely lost without him.
