Clown post
Exactly. I find it humorous when someone calls someone else a bully. Bullies are only bullies because someone hasn't stood up to them and smacked the s**t out them when needed. So to me...saying someone is a bully,is just saying you are scared to do anything to them because you know they will beat your ass (obviously that doesnt apply in this context). That is way more of a you problem,than a them problem. I know someone will come at me with..."fighting isn't the answer" "you shouldn't stoop to their level"...blah blah blah....those are the same people that are too scared,or don't have the pride, to stand up for themselves. The bottom line is...whether anyone likes it or not,sometimes you just have to stand up and pop a mf in the face. Its amazing how fast someone will stop bulkying someone else when they get hit in the face for it. That's how you end bullying quickly,and efficiently.

In my last sentence I was being facetious. Those more familiar with my clown act might say I’m the biggest Knight supporter on here. Google me-it’s that simple.

I see your one statement, “sometimes you just have to stand up and pop a mf in the face” as a red flag. Do you carry around a tough guy persona, along with a short fuse? Is your trigger always cocked, ready to unload? If I accidentally bumped into you out on the dance floor would you come after me to impress your girlfriend?

Is that anywhere near close to the situation being discussed? I was talking about having some pride,and standing up to a bully if need be...and that's what you come up with? Judging from your comments I feel like you have been bullied on more than one occasion.

Geez, let’s both do the readership a big service and drop this debate. No one cares and its regressing to the state of boredom. They deserve better and besides, I need some sleep.
 
Keep in mind that this years teams doesn't necessarily need to be better than last years team. They just need to be better than everyone else.
I'll keep in mind that Connecticut had a losing record just a few years ago and that they lost last year to a team led by Dre Davis from Indianapolis.

Better than everyone else? Not this year pal.

We shall see. They are ranked third preseason behind Kansas and Alabama.
 
UConn is the defending National Champions. They should be ranked #1 until someone beats them.
So what if a team wins the NC...and then loses their top 5 scorers from that team? Should they still be ranked #1?
 
I’m amazed at the all-out energy and laser focus of this guy. He honestly might be the best (most demanding) coach in America today. Or he might be nuts. You decide. The one thing I’d bet is true, Woody doesn’t go quite this hard. Listen carefully to his comment about coaching until 65 just so you can make a bunch of money. Direct shot?

I heard differently, your opinion. Haters hate.

Why would I need to name any coaches? You don't get it. Do you really think Hurley needs to attack any coach? Especially one he just competed with on the recruiting trail..and won? You are ignorant,and arrogant,if you think Hurley is taking the time to single out Mike Woodson in an interview. Reality check...dumbass
You and Willdog must hate each other. Woody can't have 2 buttlickers at once, so one of you loses out.
 
I can't agree. Rankings are just that....they rank teams based on current rosters. Giving a team a #1 ranking for this season,because they won with a different roster last season, is not based on logic. There are no rewards this season,for winning last season.

and no real rewards for preseason rankings either. no issues 77, I just like to recognize the defending NC's and give them their earned respect. when they get beat, then reshuffle them into a logical position. Felt the same way in 77, 82, 88

There's less chance of this happening, because he's obviously a very good basketball coach. But now that he's experienced ultimate success, I would worry how he'll handle having a group of players that don't respond well to his style and approach?? I could see him doing something that gets him "cancelled". It can happen very quickly in today's world. He's got a little bit of a leash right now, but an injury or two, a few recruits not being able to handle his manic style...struggles on the court as a result... those moments of him pushing players mid game, saying some of the things he says...well we know first hand how all that can wear people out. And our experience with it was over 20 years ago!! Today, you're literally one slip up away from being on the outside looking in.

For maybe that reason, or others like NBA jobs, I doubt he's the coach at UConn 5 years from now.
Flashbacks to USAF pilot training in the 80s. Fear, sarcasm and ridicule. It was a game. You either played it or you didn't. The washout rate was high.
 
Like I said b4 Haters ,hate. They cant give anyone credit. Just say good job .Go Hoosiers.

You can make an argument that that the top tame until someone beats them. That argument becomes stronger when they win back to back national championships. at the start of the 2024 season UConn was under ranked because everybody wondered how they were going to replace the players who went to the NBA. Somehow, that worked out OK.
