This is a bad time for uk there's no doubt, but exaggerating the 7 year comment doesn't help anything. Our 2017 team was one of the most fun teams we've had. We were looked at as a serious contender for that title. A buzzer beater eliminated us.
We can field a good team but that doesn't matter if the captain of the ship is a train wreck.
Thats just it KT . . . I"m not angry. I was frustrated during the game but nowhere near how worked up I would have been years ago. The apathy for me set in a few years ago. Before that it was blasphemy to miss the opening tip of a game (any game regular season, pre-season etc) but the past couple years I missed several games entirely, just didnt watch. Told myself, I cant believe Id ever come to a point where I literally didnt miss seeing a game.
Yep, heard that caller too. Matt has been the one dude who has made that comment popular. He used it plenty of times this year. But, it is over.
This is exactly what I've worn everybody out ranting about the last two years.
It's weird how much less it bothers me as time goes on...
It's actually a fabulous thread, just hate it's about how bad we are.
I’m sure rival recruiters have been pointing this out for awhile. To have an nba guy do it just magnifies it for a prospect . Cal better hope our NIL package is STRONG.
This might be the perfect description of Matt Jones. He’s been controlled by his control freak mom since the day he was born. He still is now. And that has made him the control freak he is. He can’t stand someone disagreeing with him. He can’t stand someone interrupting him. Most of the time he won’t even let his co-hosts finish a thought. He’s the absolute worst. He’s a spoiled 12-year old in a 45-year old man’s body. For those of us who used to have exchanges with him on message boards dating back to the 90’s, he’s the same punk teenager now he was back then.
I was at that game, and could not believe what K was doing. Well it worked and proved sometimes it takes extreme measures to get a message across.
I have one question on that NIT year.
We aren’t here because of Calipari. We were here long before him and will be here long after him. I quit posting for four years after the 2015 season. For a few reasons, but one of them was Cal. I’ve talked about Cal fatigue for awhile now. I’ve had it for several years. I haven’t called for him to be fired. I’m just tired of his act. And now that he’s turned our basketball team into a joke, that fatigue has grown to a much higher level. I wasn’t even mad last night. It’s just frustration at this point, because I know it’s not going to change. We’re not talking about a bad moment or two. This has been a long, slow downward spiral since 2015, with no end in sight.
Matt is doing what Matt does. Once the rest of the media takes a stance, he joins in. He’s not a leader. He’s a follower. He doesn’t have the balls to be a leader.
Yeah he can only go so far. Matt just mentioned that Cal and he are not basically friends anymore due to the show and Cal thinking they criticize too much.
My little brother passed away in 2015. He was my best friend and sports partner our entire lives. That was why I initially got away from this site. But it turned into just being tired of Cal’s act.
But that’s a problem we deal with, with the Cal system. A unreliable bench or developed players who can step up. Literally one player goes out and the whole season goes down the drain. UK isn’t the only one who has to worry about injuries.
Yes indeed. Spring training baseball....feels almost like going to a minor league game. Just fun and pure. I think we're all chasing Milwaukee this year
At least the Reds have been straight up with me this offseason. I know I'm in for 162 games of dumpster fire goodness. Cal got our hopes up that maybe, just maybe he'd gotten his shit together and then we turn to shit the last month of the season.
I don't know if everyone will be here next year or not. If I am still alive I'll be here. I am a lifelong Reds and Bengals fan since the 70s.
Do you ever listen to KSR? I don’t listen a lot, but I did tune in yesterday and he kept talking about how he cried when he saw his mom on that wrestler show. And how cute she was etc. Just seemed kind of odd coming from a grown man. I guess you just have to hear it. Lol.
I listen to KSR, yes. I didn’t think it was odd at all, he obviously has a close relationship with his mom and they've probably been through some hard times together.
I would say if your father killed people in a drunk driving incident and went away to jail and you were raised by your mom, who was also very successful and laid the foundation for you to be very successful, the potential for a close bond is there. There are a lot of things to gripe/make fun of about Matt, I would say that his relationship with his mom isn't one of them.
You can always tell when a child is logging in to their parents account. This is what a kid thinks will happen when they grow up.
I'm thinking TheWyldcat came from a household like the one I grew up in. Parents divorced and mom is a 'tough-love' type of person with a temper.
