Don't forget Kerr going ice cold against Oklahoma in 88.

fuck me -- talk about punishment

Praise Jeebus! Could not stand the preacher so he was one of the primary reasons I went over to Goazcats from Cattracks to follow Ben Hansen. What an annoying fuck.

Still follow Brad Allis on Facebook, although he really doesn't post that much UA sports, same with Ben.

What's all this, now?

is that really as far back as you can go?

Hell, my PANTS can go back farther than that and they're recently washed! (last month - no soap - graywater only)

i got your PM's but saw you read my answers here -- i will explain the avatar in more detail as the season progresses but it may unintentionally signify and represent more about this years team than i initially intended.

FWIW, El Con Mall is now pretty unrecognizable for all the right reasons.

That we are soft and cuddly and a marketing machine in the plush doll sector?

Well this thread isn't incredibly depressing or anything

What's the George Karl story, I feel that is before my time, but it sounds like a good one if someone wants to share.

As always appreciate the info 97.

Right now I feel like after bash went down with his foot injury.

Bear Down.

I think he pretty much explained it above. Majerus met with him and he detailed how to beat us with the triangle and 2 in 98.

That's heartbreaking, scumdevil. We're a FF program who hasn't been there in a very long time.

So what's the word on Trier?

Bird is the word.

I can't count anything pre-championship as cursed. The curse descended sometime after the championship, and Utah and Gilbert were the first big ones I could think of. Gilbert's shoulder and Jay Williams's pony rides are essentially one singular mess.

97Cats,

Don't lose faith in the team, they will be fine. Remember Miller loves to play the "whoa, whoa is me card".

I'll just leave this here:

LMMFAO

Good laugh

It's all over fellas...

Did Josh Basnight send that?

just saw the last post, question answered. What is he doing on the Cal boards now?

Oh lord

lol Cal fans are still salty aren't they?

I wonder what Under Armour jersey would look like

Nice try Jim. Calling yourself "Sheevsray" and posting on Pac-12 boards. Haha, my GF is mental health doctor in a psych ward. I seriously think he should be committed.

He posted it on facebook too

Lol. That was some great cal fan fiction!

CalStateTempe wrote:Lol. That was some great cal fan fiction!

It's a UDub "writer" disguising himself as a Cal Fan. The dude is seriously unhinged. He's been posting and writing stuff like that since the Salim years.

Cal moderator already called it false and deleted it from their boards.

Basnight needs some professional help.

Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel?

Corey knows less than I do, btw.

And I know nothing

The nice thing about this thread is that it brought some of the legends and jokes back to the message boards.

Oooh...Maybe I am a legend...naw, probably the latter.

Well, at least someone somewhat associated with the program is openly communicating about the impending bad news.

What happened to Schnebly that made him stop posting 11 times a day? Might have been that time he accidentally dried off with Itamicbomb's towel.

Who is basnight, was he Ace before ace? What is his relationship with the BB program? basically what is his deal? I've seen the references for a while, but I don't get where his hatred comes from.

Jefe wrote:He posted it on facebook too

If there's a question, he has to sit.

It's just NCAA logic, but you can't play pending an appeal. Even if you could, if you lose the appeal, any wins go away for playing an ineligible player.

Without knowing the issue, you can't really know the timeline. Unless it clears up really fast, I don't know how Miller would play him.

Well way back in the day UDub was actually competing with Arizona for Pac-10 championships and developed somewhat of a little rivalry. Think Colorado back in 2011-12. Well in any case he was basically the Jason Scheer of the UDub site. He became absolutely obsessed with Arizona Basketball and how it much cheat to get to where it was out. He also felt that UDub was the greatest athletic department in the history of athletic department. He wrote articles about how Spencer Hawes was going to be the greatest College Basketball we've ever seen. His obsession with Arizona Basketball carried over to Gershon. When Gershon was with GoAzCats, fans on that board had some of the best inside knowledge of any fans in the country. Basnight couldn't stand it and took any chance he could to accuse Arizona and Gershon of cheating. His obsession has been bordered on odd and now gotten to the point where he is either completely insane or the biggest troll of all time. He also a "musician" and plays coffee houses in Seattle.

Awesome. I've seen Merk's references over time, but as a relative newcomer back at GoAz I never new the back story really. I was way off. Somehow I thought he owned the old site. Thanks. Good question CST.

Thanks UofAlum05, So we're taking like the 2002-2005ish era? Makes since, I didn't get to GoAZCATS till 2007 and got some of the jokes, but never really knew the origin story.

Any time we'd mention his name, he'd suddenly appear to try to defend himself. It was absurd. The photo of him playing his guitar in his underwear was an example of something.

lol BD89, I thought similar, like he was one of the original creators who then moved to seattle, broke bad, and no incessantly hates the cats.

I always thought he was just a random UW fan with no actual connections.

I had no clue whatsoever about the UW/Seattle piece. Good stuff. Ace was easier to fill in the blanks with.

His hatred runs deep

'Undies' !!!!!

holy crap I just shampooed so may hilarious memories

He's such an obsessed, deranged lunatic that he was fired from running Dawgman. He was banning UDub fans left and right for questioning anything he reported. He had terrible sources (or no sources) and got so many recruiting battles wrong, calling all these kids to Washington who ended up at other schools. That's when the claims of cheating by everyone not named UW started, with Arizona being at the top of his enemies list. The obsession has never ended.

Jimmy should have just said no years and years ago.
