I am slowly recovering from Cal PTSD. I was sweating the entire second half waiting for the players to go ice cold, play stall ball and watch IL get right back into it. Nope, we have players who may not be NBA locks but do not melt on the biggest stage and a coach who makes actual adjustments and does not take his foot off the gas. Beating UT 3 times will be incredibly difficult but I like this team’s chances.

I had an eye infection when we played and beat Missouri and had to wear an eyepatch for two days.

I got that stupid thing out tonight, and watched the entire game with it on.

that's how deep I roll...

The Clown is my pirate. That fuc*er from Illinois looked like a goddamned pirate.

I tracked a bird all over my zip code today. A blue heron who begins his day on my roof. Didn’t shoot him, and don’t want to. I just want to know him.

Any rock and rollers out there? Clapton and Winwood live at MSG in 2009 is hard to beat.

Suck it a little bit harder, Kate. Just a little bit…..yeah…..

Feels good to feel like Kentucky again. Feels good to be a fan again. So many of us across the commonwealth had completely checked out on having any connection to the disgrace of the last few years. The kneeling was a last straw for many. Now we are back and we have our winning program back with one of our own at the helm. Criminal that it's been so long since we've been in this position and Mark comes in and gets it done his first year after throwing a team together last minute. Truly amazing.

Great pick, Seth.
 
NIL. It’s going to absolutely kill the little/mid-majors. No more 3+ year development of program and team. Everyone is basically an unrestricted free agent after every season. The deck is more stacked against the little guys than ever.

And the talk of expanding the field? That would ruin the tournament. Marcus go to a best of 5 for the final Four if you do something like that.
 
Ole Miss is flat out killing ISU.

7 teams in the S16 is just stupid. There is a solid chance we have 6 in the E8.

I can’t wind down and it sucks tomorrow is Monday.

I hate feeling like the S16 is this damn special but it absolutely feels like we just made the F4 for some reason.

Our starting 5 vs UT starting 5 is there even a position you take their guy?

Butler/Ziegler
Oweh/Lanier
Brea/Mayock
Carr/Milicic
Williams/Okopar(?)


I wouldn’t take a single one of their guys over ours.

Honestly, I just don't think Rick Barnes knows how to coach against what Pope and our offense does. In both of his postgame interviews he was asked what we ran that gave them problems and he spent the entire time talking about not executing defensively. Could just be coach jargon but given the results (and our injuries) it's evident that UT struggles against us.
 
I simply stated a very obvious fact to support my broader point. Seems absolutely crazy to me for anyone to be getting all bent out of shape about that (while disrupting the thread) but you do you.

The majority of this thread likely doesn't give a shit about kneeling and the few that do don't care about it anymore. It's a stupid divisive point to bring up when we should be celebrating our first sweet 16 in 6 years.

Talk about derailing a thread.
