Little Rock post game thoughts

[kyjeff1]

7 pages of arguing over a sweet 16 at best roster and coach. Sad we dont have 7 page thread about football and what its doing.

I guess its more interesting to talk about negative and controversial stuff than positive dominance like football.

Wait, we don't have any threads with multiple pages about football? There are a ton of threads about last nights game, did you even look?

How many pages did the game thread go?

This is Rupp Rafters and we're UK, sorry there is a thread about basketball on a basketball dominated forum.

The other common sense thing here is, basketball season is a couple weeks away and this house is divided, so how is it a surprise to anyone that a basketball thread would go 7 pages? This is RR, we do that over the summer no problem.

You still don't get it. Cowboy was telling you we would have fired Hurley before he ever got rolling. That's a very true statement and is all I'm talking about here.
We have a large contingent of fans demanding Pope be fired and you know what, we really don't know how good Pope is, he's played the two toughest schedules in UK history and both teams were riddled with injuries, so you, me and Dupree have no clue what Mark Pope is capable of, we're just assuming he's not the right guy.

Except it’s not true. It’s just another excuse.

No one wanted Pitino fired after his first 2 years at 36-22. First one being 14-14.

UK fans were absolutely scared someone would hire him away.

It’s not the record. It’s the totality of why he has the record. His teams quit. His teams are not prepared. If there is a strength and conditioning program there’s no evidence of it on the court. There is no evidence of individual instruction that shows up on the court. There is no evidence of a defensive plan or strategy.

There is no evidence of rebounding positioning being taught.

Exactly right. If anyone can pull up a post where I said that Pope is better than Hurley or will win at that level, I will take a lifetime ban. Ill wait for someone to post it. The fact is, Hurley was in his 5th season at UConn before he made a S16 and he absolutely would have been fired here by 90% of Rafters. I was on board with Pope getting fired after last season but he wasn't. A lot of the folks who want him gone are actually going to root for us to do poorly this year just to get him out of here. That kind of Fandom is something I'll never understand

LMAO, just make it up as you go lol, it'll help your argument

BS, you're one of the worst

We were on probation and do I need to remind you that Pitino had a Final Four on his resume?
But also, there was no Rupp Rafters at that time, you have no clue what people were saying. Nice try.
Additionally, you do realize, people wanted Cal fired after losing to Wva in 2010, wanted him fired after 2013, wanted him fired during the 2014 regular season and wanted him fired after the Wisconsin loss, how do we know this? Because we were all here to see it.

Yeah, but not in 88, you're talking about after the 96 season. That's when the NBA rumors started, but again, nice try.

His teams didn't quit, you obviously have no idea what it's like to play this level of competition when you're undermanned. It’s really easy for you to sit there in your moms basement critisizing the coach and team.

Our last two teams weren't perfect, but they played their butts off through injuries in the toughest SEC we have ever seen. Fans like you really suck.
