As much as I hate what happened along with everyone else here, don't throw the baby out with the bath water...we WILL be back...it happens to the best...



Its not just the loss Thursday night. Its the losing season before that, the going on 8 yr FF drought and the going on 11 yr Championship drought.

Barring a miracle offseason it looks like we will have less talent next year than this.

Guy’s Cal needs to hit the pavement.

Its time.

This isnt UMass and this isnt Memphis.

I won’t lose perspective about the fact that Cal can’t coach worth a flying ****. He probably could if he would actually, eh **** it. Y’all know the list of things I’ve been bitching about and it is LONG! His in game coaching or lack thereof is just non existent. He does zero in game coaching/adjustments. End of story. If he did/had, we would be playing Murray State today.

How many huge embarrassing failures do we have to have before the pumpers don’t just use other people’s huge embarrassing failures to “keep it in perspective? 3 years in a row? 4? 5? Just wondering when our perspective can change.

UVA not only lost to a 16 seed. They were routed by a 16 seed. Then came back and won a championship.

Yeah but Virginia was without their best player
And we lost WITH the National Player of the Year!!!

There is NO EXCUSE for losing to a school 99.9% of the country had NEVER heard of before Thursday night!!!

Cal has A LOT of soul searching to do. He needs to either fix this program or move on. However, because of the lifetime contract, the ball is STILL in HIS court, no pun intended. Thanks Mitch.

Pissed away yet another shot at a FF/title. He’s the GOAT at being a choke artist. That’s for sure.

They remind me of a guy who’s wife has left him, friends hate’m, living with financial woes so he sits around all day watching videos of guys getting life in prison and tell himself see, my life could be so much worse.

It’s all about perspective man. I know a guy who gets to have sex literally every day and hasn’t had to cook his own meal in years. But all he ever talks about is how much he is looking forward to getting out of prison.

just gotta keep things in perspective

I thought about this the minute UK lost.
I predicted the minute UVA lost to the 16 seed. That they would make the final 4 the next season. They went a step further and won it all.
But big difference in UVA and UK. They had pretty much the same team the following year. You know the UK team will be completely different players.

****ing BINGO

Virginia returned a bunch of dudes off that team. It won’t even be a remotely comparable scenario. Yet here we are. Just like when we played so poorly in the SEC tournament last week, what did we hear? Hey guys, 1996 Cats and 2012 Cats lost in the SEC tournament too! As if they were even remotely comparable. Not even.

What a pathetic post from you of all people.

UK is not pUKe.
Not the point. The point is that this happened to Coach K and he still won another title. One game does not change any program big picture wise. Literally every blue blood has a loss like this. Play enough tournament games as a top 3 seed and eventually you'll get upset in embarrassing fashion. It's the exact reason the tournament is so beloved as a sporting event. There's nothing special about UK makes us immune from this.
