Hey there BobcatAttackers! New poster here wanting to say a quick hello as I jump into this board!

I’m a long-time lurker, having browsed the board regularly since the days of D.J. Cooper and Tommy Freeman. Started watching in middle school when John Groce became coach, got absolutely hooked during the 2010 and 2012 tournament runs, and have continued to watch/listen to nearly every game since. I’m no longer in Athens but I still bleed a strong shade of Bobcat green. Can’t wait for the upcoming season and look forward to chatting some Bobcat hoops with everyone!

Welcome!!! Coach Boal's pulled off one of his best recruiting classes (including transfers) with some NIL skill. Should be fun watching the veterans and youth develop !

Welcome! And to all those long time lurkers out there... Hope to see you posting soon. And don't worry too much about the quality of your posts. Heck, it never stopped me before. I think most would agree that this board seems to get quite a bit more traffic than the other MAC team boards so, let's keep it going!

Go Bobcats!

On paper, I think that this is his best class.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Can't wait for Nov 4 to roll around!

Quick question: how do I go about setting up my profile pic? I wanted to attach a JPG from my computer but it seems to need a URL link? Thanks

You can upload it to a site like Imgur and it'll give you a URL to use here.

Welcome. I was a long-time lurker also until earlier this year. You'll generally find a pretty welcoming group on this board. So, far no one has tried to get me into any kind of big back-and-forth arguments, as you see on some fan boards. But, as to be expected, we do have some real characters here. But, my experience is if you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

I guess I'll jump on the Lurker joining the discussion bandwagon. I have posted before but it's been a while.

Class of 2006, Ozone alum, was present in Cleveland for 2005 Leon Williams OT tip in and Buffalo Sucks.

I try to keep tabs every year on the team and appreciate this board. Sadly I have not been back to the Convo in about 15 years, but I fly a green flag in a very red town...

Arguments are civil here, until someone mentions where TOS is on the move to and how happy he'll be, the glories of Cowtown University in Columbus, how Fiami is doing, or the Thundering Turd and their infamous glories.

Stay away from those, we'll be good

Welcome! Here's a list of helpful topics you should probably ignore in order to not lose your sanity:

1. Jim Christian's tenure at Ohio.
2. Saul Phillips' recruiting style.
3. BUTM
4. BIG MANZ
5. Ohio's scheduling philosophy, or lack thereof, in either football or basketball.
6. Whether or not (insert player)'s jersey should be retired.
7. Ohio athletics marketing budget.
8. Parking enforcement.
9. Popcorn and pretzels and/or any general discussion on Ohio Athletics concessions.
10. Hand dryers (this topic is up for further review as I've been told they have improved in recent years).

Probably sage advice, but at the risk of developing insanity I'll take a stab at these (at least that way I'll be on the record and won't have to wade into any future debates!)

1.) I'd give JC an incomplete grade, though Treg Setty's post a few years back, together with my in-game observances and the rumblings of impending mutinies make me glad his tenure didn't last long.
2.) "Diamonds in the rough" seemed to be something Saul often chased, and with Preston he struck gold, but overall I sensed he was trying to be a bit too clever rather than just wading into the recruiting battles and really selling the university. Also, with his personality and charm (especially in this era), it's shocking to me that he basically had no social media presence to reel people in.
3.) ??? IDK what this means LOL
4.) Loved watching Ndour, Campbell, BVP, and Dwight--all different types of 4s/5s. That being said, not a fan of playing 2 bigs unless at least one is a stretch, and I'd 100% rather have elite guards than elite posts.
5.) I'm basically a men's basketball fan (occasionally will watch football or women's basketball), and in general I'm a bit underwhelmed by the schedules. I'm sure it's much harder than it looks from our end, but do we really have to play a non-D1 team in a "real" game every year? And can we please line up Dad's Weekend with a game that isn't an exhibition? Obviously I'd love to play more P5 games / less low majors, but those are my two biggest pet peeves. (I actually think this year's schedule is pretty solid.)
6.) Would love to see Cooper's jersey in the rafters eventually
7.) Don't know too much about the subject, but I do think game days could be promoted better on campus. As a student it was hard to tell there was a game that night unless you happened to walk by the Convo and see those little signs.
8.) Never pleasant, but what really irks me is the security funneling everyone to one entrance on game days. Really frustrating game-day experience, but I'll leave it at that.
9.) I've never been a concession guy at sporting events, so don't have much to say here
10.) I do believe they replaced the crappy old ones a couple years before I moved, which was long overdue!
