Re: 2023-2024 Arizona Basketball
I am surprised that you are surprised by this. You have done your share of mudslinging, and now you are offended that others are attacking you? You bring it on. I had a friend who loved to argue about anything. Enjoyed doing it. I seek to understand as much as possible. There is agree/disagree. That can be productive. But not attack/defend mode. That mode never has a good outcome. I dropped this person as a friend years ago. He grated on the nerves. To me it is negativity.

Have you EVER stopped to think why and just for a few seconds thought to yourself "what is it about the things I say that makes the entire community constantly turn against me?"

Those kids parents were probably in middle school the last time we made a Final Four. At this point Bibby and Jefferson are probably mythological figures.

But why do people care so much about it being on PAC-12 network or streamed? We had exhibition games streamed and more will be televised soon. Why the demand for a practice?
Why don't you demand every practice ve televised?
And also too, it is now on Youtube.

Re: 2023-2024 Arizona Basketball
I'm excited for Caleb. He's got a great chance this year to play a key role on a contender. We don't need him to shoot every time he touches the ball; he doesn't need to be senior year Gabe York. Just need him to execute what Tommy calls, make FTs and hit the good looks he gets.

Perimeter D, jumping passing lanes, fast break points, slashes to layups, getting fouled and hitting FTs is what I wanna see out of him.

Some people just have a tin ear, and confuse what they hear with what nuance is actually said.
Some people have thin skin, but profusely criticize others.

I’d ask him to show us this supposed anticipation and justification of the Princeton loss but instead I’ll just anticipate whoever is behind that sock catching some kind of disease of the anus and I’ll justify that anticipation by reminding myself that the unhappy loser behind that sock has been a poopy skid mark on the virtual underwear of this website for years.U.P.

Re: 2023-2024 Arizona Basketball
Best video of the Red/Blue game. I trust Lloyd. Arizona is going to be special, and it is because Tucson is basketball crazy. Strange coming from the west but it is true. Tucson is a basketball city (football is important too). We will make waves and we know it. I have other goals, but UA sports is near the top of the list. Looking forward to the rest of this season.
UA sports looks bright for the future.
