  1. Few more days to Blue Madness then this on paper beast of a team sees if it can match expectation.
  2. Back to back conference road games will be a test.    Especially at Vandy with their weird gym, but I'm not sure they have all that great a team but UK is th Superbowl for them. 
  3. Perspective:   UK Basketball a few months before their season starts holds an alumin game and gets 19K+   Reds in the middle of pennant chase got around 23K for Cubs.  
  4. Would have loved to have him but good luck to him.   I would have rather seen him at FSU vs. KU.     A small small silver lining will be that a small amount of pressure and superteam will be lifted from UKs shoulders. 
  5. If Wiggins doesn't choose UK, I'd rather have him at FSU. 
  6. Poythress staying.  Goodwin is gone despite not signing with an agent he has an autograph signing already set up.
  7. Kentucky might not be done so 6 might not work.  They are still in the hunt for the No. 1 overall player.
  8. National Champs to Preseason top 5 to being out of top 25 to NIT invite to NIT first round loss to Preseason number 1.    Odd for sure.
  9.   I'd love to get Stein and Poythress back.   In the end we need someone to light a fire under the freshman for defense.   Once Nerlens went down in ability to stop drives the rim was glaring.   I'd say Wiltjer is gone for sure unless he's ok fighting for depth minutes.
  10.   It will be interesting to see who stays and who goes.   I just can't see the NBA being all over these guys but I can see some of them worrying about playing time and transferring out.
  11.   What else would you call it?  You are creating hypothetical rules to solve something YOU see as a problem.    It's not objective.    There is no rational thought in it.   "We should make them stay 2 years"  Why?  "Because"????????   Why 2 years?   "Because 2 is bigger than 1"  Oh.    Is a second year of college the magic the year to figuring out life?   It's dumb.   It's selfish College B-Ball fans and yes it is biased.   The NBA dictates and until they see it as a problem they will not fix it like MLB and NFL. 
  12.    College B-Ball media and fans are so selfish and sterotypical.     The ability to earn a higher education is always there.     The one and done rule is a NBA rule.    How the hell are you going to install a 2 year rule if the NBA let's you join after a year?    Are you going to start telling female athletes that no longer want to pursue higher education that they must stay?  I'm sure there would be legal issues.   Just because an inner city kid can play basketball and earn his way into college.  Now of all sudden people are concerned about his future if he happens to be good enough to get drafted in the NBA and they start thinking of rules that take away a basic freedom.   No one says shit about the thousands of college worthy highschoolers  that aren't good enough to play sports, go to college for a year and then say fuck it, I'm taking a job.      You going to start making kids pay back a year of school costs?  Really? Just because of the handful of college basketball players that can go pro?   What about small school division 1 player that has to leave after a year?   Just enjoy the players during their time and quit being so bias.   Then hope the NBA wakes up and stops drafting on potential.    There really is only a hanful of players that are actually one and done.  It's just Kentucky and Cal have bucked the system and end up with multiple players.  This year they paid the price.
  13. What the fuck? Robert Morris? Please let this season die ready.
  14. Cal commanded the Rupp crowd to stand with 8 minutes remaining.   History will show the Florida Gators didn't score another point once it happened.   This ranks up there with Jesus feeding a crowd of thousands with just 2 baskets of fish and 2 loaves of bread.
  15. Big game on Saturday. The elusive big victory this season is needed badly.
  16. [quote name='Bunghole' timestamp='1354566957' post='1188356'] They'll be back. The talent is there. [/quote] Now it's just more fun to come.
  17. [quote name='Bunghole' timestamp='1352939906' post='1180826'] I'm not worried. Calipari is going to have young teams all the time and they aren't going to play very well in mid-November compared to how they will play come February. They just need some time to jell. [/quote] One thing Cal has never gotten enough credit for is his ability to get his young players to execute in the half court. Although this current edition of the CATS has much room for improvement in the two games against Maryland and Duke they were able to manufacturer buckets in half court sets. You see "veteran" teams that can't do it, all they can do is run and gun. Every year Cal's teams are so tough because they are athletic enough to run and gun but also can get buckets in half court when needed. It is amazing considering the youth he's dealing with.
  18. The talent is unquestioned. The coming together of the talent is the fun part. Hopefully by mid Feb the familar big blue buzzsaw will be in full force. They look fast and athletic and at the same time appear to be playing not at full speed or with confidence the whole time.
  19. What was that old beer ad? And TWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS! TWINNING!
  20. Elite 8, 2 Final Fours, 1 title in 3 years. The only thing I'm mad about is how Calapari gets cheated in the media. Give this man some respect. What he is doing is just flat out crazy. All the bullshit aside about vacated Final Fours. He got players to UMASS and Memphis. Got them to a Final 4. The guy can coach. At UK, Cal has changed the game so fast he's got the College Basketball world in an uproar. College Basketball is not being ruined. It's being brought back to life. Quit downgrading the top players that are good enough to go pro. Quit trying to cheapen the accomplishments of your champ. Embrace your returning stars and promote your next wave of One and Dones. That is what these College Basketball blowhards should be doing.
