If you gave Tom Izzo...

He probably ran away.

I haven't seen him in a while. He's a pretty ignorant, but when there's so many bumps proving him wrong....

I think he got the message.
I give him some props.

He clearly knows nothing whatsoever about the game of basketball, and is wrong over and over again, but he keeps right on posting.

Got to admire that determination.

I tried to summon ulismyman and cut nets but it doesn't list them as posters. Only the guy who gave Murray his nickname the black hole kybassfan is still around anyone know how to reach them? Lol
 
He is a good coach, but honestly, he has been at MSU for 20 years. Here is his tally (20 years
Izzo at MSU
Final 4 = 7
Runner Up = 1
National Championships = 1

Coach Cal at UK (6 years completed, not counting this year)
Final 4 = 4
Runner Up = 1
National Championships = 1

Coach Cal since 1995 (when izzo was hired at MSU)
(not counting this year)
Final 4 = 6
Runner Up = 2
National Championships = 1

Coach Cal has almost accomplished in 6 completed years, what Izzo has in 20 at MSU. I don't think the talent argument holds water
 
Yeah not typically a big fan of the old thread pulls but very appropriate in this particular case. Could not have been a better illustration of how completely ridiculous this whole premise is. FTR, it also doesn't mean Izzo is less of a coach. Just that Cal is one of the best, but the best do not win it every year just bc they can.

Also, I think every one of cut nets theories have not only been debunked, but they have been thoroughly disgraced. The Cal never plays less hyped players over 5 stars--completely made to look as dumb as it sounds with the benching of Skal for Willis 5 games into season; he whole Briscoe should be benched for Hawk-- well you see how that turned out. I could go on and on but we all know just how silly all his "theories" were.

Oh, and his beloved Cards are sitting home crying in front of their TV's while their POS coach is desperately running around morning radio and tv shows to try and lie thru his teeth to clear his name. Couldn't have been a worse year for Zippy, er I mean cut nets.
 
Cut-Nets hasnt posted in 10 days. His last post on March 8th was a response to one of my posts.... So do I get credit for chasing him away for 10 days or am I a suspect or what? lol
Lol I gave you a like. If you guys are smart you will also follow the 3 wise men. I just followed all 3 in case I miss a good laugh. From now on if one of them posts, we need to like whatever they may say so we don't scare them off anymore lol.
 
Man I forgot all about cut nets. Dude I have said this before but your takes suck and in general in wild bet you do too lol.
 
Lulz, it's particularly funny this season.
Not sure what on earth you could be talking about.

Izzo is 4-3, averaging a 6 point win against the last 3 mid majors he's played.

But after you factor in injuries, he only has one five star and one four star coming off the bench. It's a miracle he's above .500
 
Probably identical, except MAYBE he doesn't go to the NIT in 2013. Perhaps he wins one more title, but I doubt he goes to to four Final Fours. Doing what Izzo does is totally different than what Cal does. People are quick to forget Cal's success at smaller schools when he didn't have a huge talent disparity.

Honestly, it is mind boggling to me how when Cal started this freshmen train at UK, all the critics were very skeptical as to whether playing mostly freshmen would result in success consistently, much less Final Fours and titles, because experience and maturity (both physical and mental) is so critical. Now that he has shown it can be done, some of the critics have flipped to criticizing for not winning every game and every title. Cal has gone to four Final Fours in six years. His overall tournament record during this stretch is unprecedented in the modern era. Sure, it would have been nice to capitalize on another title, but if you have been around this game long enough, you realize that titles take a ton ability AND luck. That is why even the best programs have so few.

One of, if not THE best post I've read this season.

Deserves a thread of it's own on the observations about Cal and the way he does things.

Huge Kudos !

He might be Jakarii now.
I know why you'd say that about Jakarii, but unlike Cut, he's capable of complimenting Cal.

Best I can tell, Cut is a former UK fan who yearns for an era where everyone is wearing thigh shorts and staying four years, and he takes out his loathing of the OAD phenomenon on Cal, to the extent that he'll defend coaches who've been way less impressive (both compared to Cal at UK and at mid majors) and hold them up as superior.

On the other hand, it seems that Jakarii is a non-UK fan who kinda sorta pretends to be a UK fan by using "we" from time to time and sees it as his task to bring down his "fellow fans" when we get too up on our team. Not sure why, because there's nothing wrong with just posting openly as a rival fan.

It's amazing how quickly people flipped that switch. If anyone says that Cal has the most "talent" and does not qualify that with athletic potential or something else reflecting the importance of age, skill, and experience, you know you're dealing with someone a few nickels short of a dollar.
