I should go give your day and a half long Vick meltdown some illy meters now that I know how!

I mean...were we really "on the road"...we played on hardwood, roads are usually made from asphalt.

Also, we had quite a few fans there, so I don't count it as a road win.

And is it really a win at all...we were tied after regulation, I don't count overtime wins as wins, it's just a personal choice.

Also, it's not a "bench" they are individual chairs. So we didn't have any players on the bench, we had players in chairs.

Am I doing it right?

Down 37 players, in the toughest road environment known to man, against a historic program....

This is fun!

How can you say you aren't "down" those players? Do you think McCormack, KJ, and Moore are finishing a OT game if they aren't "down" players?

I could repeat myself. Again.

Or.... you could read what I've said.

Or .....you could just not give a fuck because it was a comment that's not worth arguing about for 2 hours.

All I've gathered is that I'm not sure you comprehend how the game of basketball works.

Same can be said about numerous people.

Let's just recap.....

this "argument" started because I said "down 6 people. The legend grows."

So I'm wondering if I started the argument, or if turdcoach did by responding to something in a rude way that wasn't directed towards him or about a comment he made.

I'm going to blame turdcoach.

Actually the definition of legend is "a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated."

That game was authentic, no one disputes that it happened. There were thousands who saw it live and many more who watched it on television. There are many written, spoken, and recorded accounts of the game. So, I'm not sure where you get off referring to it as a LEGEND....LOL.

Just my opinion though.

We were down to 5 scholarship players. Not sure why pointing that out is making anyone laugh out loud.

cuz he's an idiot

I probably deserved a 4 or so for my Vick rant the other day.
Not gonna argue about that.

LOL...that was posted by my 13 year-old daughter, because who else would use LOL every post?

Why is Traylor used on the Illy meter?

It feels weird going this far in a season and I barely know the walkons. Usually we have some 20 point blowouts and don’t have starting freshman that need reps.

I'm president of the Mari fan club.


Odd that people seem to hate he and Mitch so much, but in the next breath people will say "give me guys ranked 40-100 all day"......well, more of those 40-100 ranked guys end up more like Mari and Mitch than they do Frank and Devonte. Be careful what you wish for.

No one Hates Mitch and Mari...

Hate is a strong word. Overly critical would be a better one.

Happened with Reed. Happened with Sleeves....happens with a lot or those 40-100 ranked guys.

You are just making shit up now...

We tend to be overly critical of just about everyone way too often.

As much as you want to try to say it's with guys ranked 40-100, I think it most often is directed at players who just aren't as likeable for personality reasons. (we have quite a crew of body language experts here) And for people who fuck up or get in trouble for shit. In fact I'm pretty sure the board was just as hard on Cliff Alexander and Brannen Greene as they were Rio Adams and Tharpe. Not sure rankings come in to play.

I thought Rio Adams was going to be Big Time

I thought Lagerald Vick was going to be Big Time

I'm sure we can find examples of both.

What were/are Mari's and Mitch's negative personality traits? None.

I'm not making a grand declaration. Just saying that only wanting 40-100 type guys will result in a lot more Mari and Mitch type players than Frank and Devonte type players.

I want us to have the best players possible. That means OADs and those 40-100 ranked guys. Just because Embiid and Wiggins didn't do well in their 1 tournament isn't evidence that we don't need those kind of players.

Mari and Mitch are the band aids for when the better recruits fall victim to the ncaa.


insurance against The Rules, if you will.
