NCAA Tournament 2024

I loved me some DMac.
He did show them.

Spose this kid goes all David McCormack and we win it all. Do we still have to dislike him?

No. But we still can if we wanna.

Yes, we can.
It'd be like if in 2015 we traded Alex Smith for Ben Rothlisberger and he had a Super Bowl run.
I'd be happy as a Chiefs fan for the Chiefs but I would not like Ben Rothlisberger.

I think there's a big difference between Ben and Hunter. Tyreek won a SB while at KC and it still doesn't erase his history. Like Hunter or not, he's not 7n the same league as those two assholes.

i predict you will be saying the same thing about hd two years from now.

winning and time does that to a malcontent.

you don't have to do anything.

I will think of this team differently probably, but I still won't like Hunter.

I haven't seem anything from this team that shows that they have the mental toughness needed to withstand a deficit which will inevitably be faced in 6 games against increasingly good competition.

I hope they prove me wrong though, I would love every minute of being wrong.



nobody will cheer harder for them along the path, should it happen, than I. I just dont see it from these guys and a lot of that comes from the very large human in the middle that should be helping lead the team.

As an asshole or talent wise?

Hunter never assaulted women

I liked him as well. For people like myself (I won’t include Pdub as it’s only conjecture he has a similar thought process here), part of the pure joy of college sports is watching kids develop and mature as players and humans.

Again, I know that is on me, but fuck em

M my pre than one way to be judged as an asshole though.

I always found it hilariously awesome that much of the chiefs fanbase seemed to overlook Tyreek’s off-field stuff because he helped team so much.

But, like posters here have surmised, if HD brings victories the next two weeks, many will forget they disliked him. I guarantee I won’t. That part of fandom is the worst part to me. Hell, when the Titans were in the Mariota/Winston sweepstakes a decade ago, I was ready to quit being a Titans fan if they drafted Winston. And he was mostly just being a dumb entitled kid.

mich is the only one who said the dislike would be forgotten

he’s far from a bellwether when it comes to the majority sentiment on this site

[KUTradition]

i like DMac just fine

i also think he allowed himself to disappear far too often and play below his ability

the two aren’t mutually exclusive unless you’re an idiot (mich)

[jfish26]

DMac underperformed his ability, until he didn't. And he will rightly be remembered MUCH more for the latter than for the former.

Others have said things quite similar

nobody understands the dynamics of the malcontents and the social medias like the MICHHAWK.

if KANSAS gets on a run. gets into the second weekend. the HD knobslobbing will build with every victory. by the time we get to the elite 8 the malcontents will need kneepads.

winning cures all.

I cheered for Tyreek to do well but I couldn't stand the dude.
Worried about replacing his output but overall super glad when he was gone.

Not by me.
You all were far too harsh on him.

I'll remember a senior who hit two game winning shots in the National Title, leading our team in points in a double double and guarding UNC's best player, after putting up 25 and 9 in the freaking Final Four game.

I would take senior Dave one million times over Hunter.
It wouldn't even cross my mind, it'd be an instant come on down DMac.

I think some of this DMac shade calls for a bump of this shit:

[MICHHAWK]

some may say "you all" are far too harsh on HD.

Big Dave's story has been written. it's easy to look back with your rose colored glasses.

[pdub]

"it's easy to look back with your rose colored glasses."

lol.
You must be talking to the wrong dude or just have a terrible memory.
I bled for Dave on these boreds.

I appreciate them editing out the part when Harris caught the inbounds pass and stepped on the sideline for a crucial turnover, giving UNC another shot at OT.
