    Chinyelu back to Florida

    In other words, you're just mindlessly believing Kentucky will be elite next year because that's what good fans do, they believe?

    Chinyelu back to Florida

    Okay. The point in the Custer example was that he was overconfident, just like you are regarding this upcoming season. The commanders who were realistic survived that day because they took high ground on Reno Hill and held out. Custer, meanwhile, went headlong into the Sioux camp and was...

    [CBB] No.2-ranked CJ Rosser talks Kentucky + his recruitment

    All the "let's base our season on hopes and dreams" guys liked your post. You guys are awesome at spinning the ole record player and having a dance party in the cyanide pill bunker, even as the Red Army approaches from the east and Berlin burns around you.

    Chinyelu back to Florida

    Maybe I would. But there's one thing for sure, unless any of us have seen combat, none of us really know what we would or wouldn't do. Not even you. But you keep pretending you're Winston Churchill as you rouse the people towards hoping in a roster that objectively won't be picked to finish in...

    Chinyelu back to Florida

    Sounds like something George Armstrong Custer might have told his panicked men right around the time they all realized they were completely surrounded by Sioux and Cheyenne warriors and preparing to be slaughtered. Your false confidence is based on nothing but hopes and dreams. There is...

    Expectations if we land Momcilovic?

    Every time someone suggests that we're going to land an elite player, I feel like Red in Shawshank when Andy gives him the harmonica as a gift. I'm afraid to play it because I've nearly lost all hope in landing elite players under Pope.

    Lance Dawe

    11 year sample size of nothing but "meh" says differently.

    Crawford potential assistant update 32

    I say just go ahead and make him the head coach at this point. He will recruit better than Pope.

    Never knew JB Hall passed on Larry Bird because

    I've heard that he struggled with the vastness of IU. Maybe it was a lot more about Knight, who I feel lacked the ability to make a guy feel warmer about his situation when facing something like homesickness. Hall might have been just what Bird needed. I wish it would have happened. He'd be...

    SGA is now back to back NBA MVP

    I think the two issues are actually connected. If you're Mitch, you absolutely do not piss off Calipari unless you know you've got a homerun replacement. If you don't, you publicly support Calipari and make sure he knows he's supported. Instead, Mitch's behavior and lack of public support helped...

    SGA is now back to back NBA MVP

    This. With the boosters backing Cal, we would have landed Thomas, Acuff, Johnson, Moreno, and Caleb Wilson to join returners like Knox, Wagner and Billy Richmond. Maybe even AJ. You bring back a motivated JQ for year two. Pope was the worst coaching option for JQ. You tell me this roster...

    SGA is now back to back NBA MVP

    SGA doesn't care about Mark Pope. He's a Cal guy. That's why we should have let Cal finish out here. Jordan Smith Jr. is going to be electric.

    SGA is now back to back NBA MVP

    Should have kept Cal. He would have used this to Kentucky's benefit. Pope is clueless about utilizing his NBA connections.

    Momcilovic Wants to Play for a Contender

    Kentucky the "poor state" that many doubted actually could afford a $22 million dollar roster last year is somehow allowing one city in that same state to outshine the entire state? Something ain't adding up.
