Stewart Mandell has U of A as the 4 in the West. Why does it matter? Mandela over the last 5 years has been the 2nd most accurate out of 131 "brackettologist" in terms of who gets in and seeding. With U of A's best win being a struggling asu or a struggling Texas A&M it will be very very very tough...

... I wonder when the last time McKale was as loud as that? ... I wasn't in the building that day in 91, but I started going to games in Tucson in '86 & have been to 50-some since & I can tell you I've never heard the building as loud as it was 4-5 years ago during the comeback vs Florida. It was i...

This team isn't just missing Book (the rah rah/build 'em back up guy), it's missing a Kevin Parrom type too. The one Coach can get all over & instead of pouting - he listens & learns & grows. Rawle is the closest we have I feel like & he's not one of the ones who needs it the most.

What's extra to normal?

Happy New Year enfuego!

I watched the second half & Wofford should/could have beaten them by 10 at home. Couple of non-calls & lucky plays that kept it as close as it was. UNC was super flat. Can happen to any team.

Who is the better poster, enfuego or Russ Smith? :D enfuego :lol: I concur. Enfuego is like the annoying cat at the apartment complex in North Carolina that we ended up adopting. That annoying cat lives EVERYWHERE, not just North Carolina. enfuego is definitely our annoying, stray, feral cat. Actua...

I'm somewhere in the middle. I've always thought enfuego is an imbecile with a touch of fun sprinkled in. & he does normally come in and take it, but not after asu he sure didn't. & when I opened the thread last night at the end of the Nebraska game he was in here & then he split after they pulled i...

I don't care too much about the polls yet & I guess it's because of some of these clowns who vote. How 'bout this guy?

Enfuego keeps coming in & out of this thread with no comment. It’s glorious.

Hey my guy, Stanford won’t win the PAC this year. You should scrape a win together there.

Let's keep this thread on track good people.

I see you enfuego.

Happy Holidays!

Answer: To complicate Alabama’s preparation.

But what is his ceiling as a coach?

Bear Down Vegas

The age/experience span among us fans is surely interesting & factors into a lot. & I say that as a guy who's fairly firmly planted in the middle (started my obsession with Kerr & Elliott).

Interesting considering you are so opinionated on what may be wrong, what could be better, ratings of fandom.

If I am ever in a bad mood - regardless of time of year - my 6 year old will ask me, "Daddy, did Arizona lose again?"

Bear Down Vegas

Probably won't be hearing from enflamo for awhile. Meh, We played flat and are going about 6 deep right now. We get Preston and De Souza we'll be fine. Not sure we'll get anything out of Cunliffe, but with the zero we are getting out of Newman right now, I'd rather try Cunliffe instead. Beside, Was...

I'm not going to quote any posts. I'm just going to say it's DECEMBER 5th. Arizona has a team with a load of talent, but less than ideal senior leadership. Ayton is still a kid even though he doesn't look like one. Trier will be our best player as soon as he tries to be DPOY Kobe instead of All Star...

This board pregame: "It's gonna take a miracle to beat UNLV." We beat UNLV. This board: "Miller got outcoached. The team has quit. We're going to get slaughtered by A&M." No kidding. And if it didn't take the obnoxious, cherry picked to photos to see that enfuego is the one who agrees with "Miller ...

Bear Down Vegas

We are getting Rawle back soon, theres plenty of ball left in the season and we still have one of the best players in the nation in Ayton. Yes, we suck absolute balls right now, but you never know. I can think of several dumpster fires over the past 7-8 years that figured it out in around the time ...

Bear Down Vegas

Well, he hasn't evolved at all as a coach since he's been here. Elite Eight until he proves otherwise. Really? Why do people forget he was was in 2 OT in the Elite Eight. That had to do more with luck than anything else. But don't let your negatively get into the way of objectivity. Somehow Sean al...

Bear Down Vegas

Yea I don't really think I believe in "Miller speak"...he is ALWAYS respectful of whomever we play and he is ALWAYS honest about his assessment of where he thinks the team is, and frankly he seems to always be right. Millerspeak is a real and well-studied phenomenon. He waited until Arizona crushed...

Trier Alkins Randolph Lee Ayton gimme gimme still holding out for a mid season transfer PG thats eligible right away Problems go beyond the right lineup. You're one of my fav posters gumby & I want to ask this respectfully. (Also to add I probably would know the answer to this question if I read ev...

Sure Coach K is more experienced than Miller, but we need to act like, have the same values and goals as, and compete with Duke, not be afraid of them. :roll: :roll: Quick tip. Think about what you post two or three times before you submit. NO ONE is afraid of Duke. The posts you quoted & are reply...

Bear Down Vegas

One positive I see emerge out of the fiasco of last week is that I believe the coaches have gotten the players' attention. I also believe pride will get the team more focused. I have a growing belief that the team is going to come out on fire. And that the A&M game will be their best game of the se...

That was a great, and sad read. Thanks a lot. ha

So almost all the players suck but not the guy picking out the players?

OK, my two cents. & I have to admit, I only listened to the three Bahama games - I didn't see them.

Gonna be a rough season. Might see those kids sooner than later Won't effect anything. But it will be funny to see UCLA bring them back in desperation. If they bring them back soon, I personally think funny is the wrong word choice. After ASU, UCLA is easily the team I root against the most - but a...

Larry Scott's statement on the matter is almost as bad as his Pac-12 channel deal. Just read it. He must be looking at that as a statement on the Pac / China deal that he needed to lead with the incident. Because if that's the only statement he releases, it begs the question of how different it wou...

Bear Down Vegas

I feel a certain amount of relief personally, I can't imagine what those three kids feel. I guess I over-blew it in my mind but I really thought this had the potential to be bad, bad, bad.

Bear Down Vegas

I would guess the same reason it was deleted is similar to why that question isn't being answered. No knowledge though...I can't stand Hansen.

Bear Down Vegas

I've liked Trier so far. Good balance of scoring vs allowing others to shine. You know his offense will be there when it matters, but he is striking an improved balance. Super efficient too. If there was a question about his ability to blend with the frosh, it's great so far. You worry with so much...

LeBatard did a bit yesterday or the day before about Kansas football being the worst "big school" team in all of college football. The numbers were gross. Something like forty-some road losses in a row? I want to say it's been like - 8 years. Made me feel a little better about our bb/fb discrepancy....

Oddly I guess, I've always liked Titus' rambling style. I can't say I enjoyed the article - I'm the type of guy who has viewed his synopsis in real time through an entirely different prism.

Russ smith and hank should get a room and share their hot takes over a jar of Nutella. And now the board has gone from defending Miller to defending Romar.

Yo Russ -

What's your goal here? I've read all of your posts. I get it. I'd be hard pressed to think anyone doesn't understand what you are so tirelessly trying to say. This isn't a debate competition. Do you need someone to take you out & buy you lunch or something?

Bear Down Vegas

There is a littany of coaches with baggage. Nearly every single big name coach has some shady shit on his resume...Boeheim, Roy, Cal...tell me what Miller's baggage is...should they all be fired now? Look at what it took to get rid of Pitino. I mean I don't get you fucking people that want change A...

Agreed. I just didn't want the curtain pulled back maybe.

I tend to think - even when Lute played the edges - we were clean. I mean, as clean as you could be to compete. It's all just like growing up again. So you're right. It's naivety.
