No, you don’t. Prove yourself right instead. We’ll wait.
You’re still an idiot
Fees too high? There’s zero chance you were on here just monitoring and not offering dumb opinions and your great insight. As others have said, you’re lying.
This thread just keeps aging better and better as each game goes on lol.
Great Offense- CHECK
Pretty good defense- CHECK
Grit and determination with unending tenacity- CHECK
Smart players that play well together-CHECK
Coach that is a GENIUS and is implementing a system that is REVOLUTIONARY- CHECK
To quote an old coach that is no longer around- "I like MY team"!!!!!!

I agree with the OP, it's gonna be a long season, it may last until April!
Having a differing opinion is one thing. She was being a prick to nearly everyone who disagreed.
Imagine starting this thread before a single game was even played.
There's still a long way to go, and a lot can happen between here and April. Even if we finish where we did last year, this has already been worth every minute. Even the losses.
And especially the Cal worshippers and LOD members eating sht for how well we've played to this point. We are not what we were a year ago, and I love it. We are not what so many loved 6-8 years ago, and I love it.
You just don't know what you're missing until it's taken away from you, and to get it back again is priceless.

Reason #1 I never make an emotional thread early in the season. Maybe reverse psychology?!?
That guy or gal is the worst, never posts anything positive
You will notice he didn't post mich last night. Just a couple of courtesy posts in game thread and then a "me scared of cal at rupp" post. So obvious.
Lol, this thread did not age well! I get a kick out of it now though because I know that after each big win I will see it back toward the top of page 1. Then I giggle a little bit.
"Just stating the obvious"
Priceless statement!
Things that are obvious from your post...... discuss
Are you effin kidding me? What in the WORLD has he seen that would cause him to be scared? Nothing. Just another preemptive idiotic post that he can crow about if the unthinkable happens and one that he'll never own up to when it doesn't.
I've been wanting a long season for years now. One that ends in April instead of the first weekend of the tournament.
Just a stroll down memory lane for the haters. I wanted to see exactly what I said in the initial post. Seems spot on
You were still wrong. We haven't been struggling on offense against top competition. Without a PG we scored the most points in any game against Tennessee, the number 1 defense in the country. And again without a PG against Ole Miss, the 15th best defense in the country, we played so well we jumped up to 2nd in offensive efficiency, surpassing Alabama.
When you made this post we were a full strength team. Do you know what the defense was ranked at full strength? 30th in the country. If this team was at full strength we would have a top 5 offense and most likely a to 50 defense at worst. Considering how good the offense is, that's a team that's probably a 2 seed at easily competes for a Final Four.
I don't think people realize just how handicapped this team is right now due to injuries. It has caused 95% of the issues everyone is worried about.
Injuries isn’t an excuse for this. Since the start of SEC play our defense ranks 340th nationally. It’s been trash all year long but the sec talent level has really exposed it
It is amazing the level of self-delusion someone will permit to reinforce their own confirmation bias. What a pointless thread by a knucklehead.
I’m bringing this back up bc of the amount of criticism I received from it. And seeing if anyone wants to eat crow
If you’re watching this season and see anyone should be eating crow except you, I can’t help you bud.
I don’t get it though. Aren’t you a UK fan? Why would you think this to be a good idea to start with?
Absolutely I’m a KENTUCKY fan. But how should I eat crow instead of the people criticizing my post? My take was correct and it was bashed.
That’s the problem. Your post is incorrect. This year has been a blast. We on a skid due to injuries but it isn’t over. If you are a Kentucky fan, maybe you shouldn’t be on here celebrating. As of today, we are a 4 seed…so take your victory lap around a pile of your own feces if you want
And if you read my initial post it said we COULD struggle to score against top teams. Not that we for sure would. So there again you are making my post to be what u want it to be instead of what it actually states
So you’re the kind of person that moves the goalposts when proven wrong? Good to know….
Do you know how defensive efficiency rankings are calculated? SEC talent has exposed nothing. All of those statistics are adjusted for your competition.
The fact is we were 30th at full strength. That includes games against Duke and Gonzaga (and even that game we were missing Butler and Kriisa for a half). We weren't 30th because the competition was poor. After adjusting for the non-conference schedule, which actually wasn't ranked that poorly compared to many power conference teams, we were 30th when healthy.
I dont know where your 340th comes from. That's most likely just a raw PPG measure of the defense, which would be heavily influenced by our fast offense creating more possessions. Barttorvik has us at 214th since the start of conference play. A conference season in which we've basically been without our PG for half the games, without our backup PG for all of them, and either without or with a barely healthy Carr for half our games.
And no, injuries aren't an excuse. It's a explanation. And a perfectly valid one at that.
