Still not a Lohner fan. I know a lot of yall like him...but he's not helping right now.

I have mixed feelings for Lohner. Today hdd Ed didn't go much do I'm cool on him. I'm happy with him when he does good things.

The defense is still sporadic, but man I have seen aircraft carriers with fewer weapons than this Bears team!

Gator fan here, hell of a game by the bears. Seemed like ya'll couldn't miss! I feel this years Gator squad is being slept on, but no question Baylor is LEGIT! Anyways good luck the rest of the season.

I want to see Florida get ranked this week & keep winning. They have the talent for a good season.

I personally think we'll do well in conference play. I see a lot of the SEC teams playing too much hero ball and not great team play. We'll find out soon.

A&M lost near double digits to FAU and gave up 94

First, great win against a very good team. But since it is early season - still gotta focus on weaknesses:

Since the Auburn game I brought this up - we have got to rebound better- we got schooled on offensive rebounding - 19-11 - gotta figure out a way to fix that

Great win against a tough opponent, but still need work on the D and rebounding. Need ways to beat good teams when the O isn't clicking like it was in this game.

FAU's a pretty decent squad. Crazy to think, but its true.

Excellent point. Baylor under Drew has often been good at rebounding but we need to be better if we want another championship.
