Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
Looks like I’ll be going to Ames twice next year (football & basketball).
Fucking pumped!
Fucking pumped!
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Big 12 stans are wild
How do you not do KU v US twice a year
Guess they were too busy with Allstate

People who use the word “stan” are stuck in the early 2000s and drive a Buick

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
Because the US is busy getting ready for the Olympics?
I had thought that the B12 was going to put teams in pods where they play their traditional opponents twice, but obviously that is not the case with playing Colorado and Utah only once also.
At least UA will get 2 wins per season v. ASU.

Obviously they should have accounted for your feelings. Now you’re all sad. Poor baby. I’d offer you a binky but I’m afraid of where you’ll put it to provide the most comfort.

ITDS is now an official BDW thing.

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
The Big 12 said we're only guaranteed to play ASU twice (and always play once in football) because we're one of the few rivalries this conference has. Very thankful for that because that mountain trip sucks ass.

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
I did not know either, so it was explained to me. It's based on an Eminem song called Stan about a stalker.
It's actually a really good video. I remember my kids used to watch it on MTV and it caught my eyes and ears.

I’m not sure if CB is actually our best pro prospect.

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
I'm not sure he will even start, at least early season. The wing spot is Lewis'. But he is a Mickey D's, and has size at 6'8". Cats can certainly use his height, since he is 2" taller than PF Townsend, and same height as C Atawa. And both those transfers have no outside game, which he does.

Fan + stalker = Stan

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
They can’t. Similar to the “maybe they’ll move the conference tournament to Vegas” stuff, it was never happening. Folks that put stuff out like this prior to realignment actually happening for Arizona were merely gaslighting, in ignorance.
They can’t schedule KU v Arizona H&A every season because, even if KU/Self would go for that, none of the other ADs would.
When KU comes to town it is a financial boondoggle for everyone, including anyone who is sold out every game every season. Much less importantly, the ADs also know that every season ticket holder wants to watch KU in person as often as possible. It also means games on ESPN or Fox, as opposed to streaming on ESPN+, on account of KU’s panache, which is good for everyone. All of that helps recruiting some as well.
We Arizona fans are going to have to learn some lessons, for the next 3 or so seasons at a minimum.
We are not getting H&A with Kansas. The Tournament is going to be in Kansas City. The Cats are going to lose more games and that especially will be something to grapple with for the Arizona season ticket holders. Lloyd is almost assuredly going to have to change his MO’s (already has started if you’ve been paying attention). You’re going to have to subscribe to ESPN+ if you want to watch every Arizona B12 game. For those that go secondary market for tickets in McKale, those are going to be harder to come by and more expensive (because B12 teams’ fans are going to travel moreso than P12 teams’ fans did, especially the first few seasons).
And probably several more things that haven’t occurred to me yet.

Not based on NCAA tournament performance it wasn’t and it wasn’t even close.

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
To be fair we will get a home and home with KU probably once every 3 years or so, but the rest of the post...agreed. The only school we're are stuck with a home and home yearly is ASU.Winger wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2024 11:07 amThey can’t.
