Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I was putting the brakes on the talking heads crowing us SECC's, and FF teamed.

I know...I was agreeing with you..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Both of those teams made the final four. They were damn good teams.

It's like that fact just goes right over people's heads...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Those Pistons teams were really good, the forgotten team of the 80's ..

They are not forgotten..the Bad Boys are all time legends to anybody that knows Basketball.

Coming from the same people who tell me SCAR and UK are good at football, I'm less inclined to believe that opinion.

Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeer were two bad dudes.

What does one have to do with the other? FAU and Loyola Chicago were both teams that beat Tennessee in the NCAA tournament and made it to the final four. FAU lost in the final four by one point. There is always luck involved in the NCAA tournament, but making a final four is an impressive accomplishment and it does not happen unless a team is talented. There is no shame in losing to those teams.

@butchna if you were Bears would you keep Fields or trade him for more picks?

Then draft Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels?

I don’t think inequity is an issue in baseball…. It’s owners that don’t care about winning…. They should follow what the Astros did to become great.

Yeah, I have always found that cheating works.

The opinion on talented teams is flawed.

I keep getting told the tournament is about luck, now it's about good teams.
Yall need to make up your minds which it is. Or is it just whichever justifies Barnes losing.

It is both. It has always been both.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It is both. It has always been both.

So, it's whichever excuse justify the upset. Got it.

 

[eVOLve]

And if somebody else steps up...we will win...and if they don't...we will lose.

Us fans can only control so much lol

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Big f**** facts and come tourney time he will be double teamed and help side will crash on him

Yup.
Teams with a rim protector will beat us.
Face guard us at the 3 line and have your big meet DK at the rim. We really need someone else that can step up and beat their guy off the dribble and finish at the rim.

 

[knoxvol52]

Jimmy Williams ex Braves 3rd Base coach and MLB manager passed away yesterday..

80 years young I believe..

Do you not think that both luck and talent are factors in the NCAA tournament?

DK will just get a bunch of assist then

You really gonna hold Rick Barnes to a standard that has yet to be achieved at the university in its history (making a final 4) and you think there needs to be a justification for why he hasn’t achieved it yet? Am I understanding this correctly?

I believe matchups are biggest factor along with injuries.

If Kyle Alexander hadn't have been injured, Tennessee defeats Loyola and wins that bracket..

 

[SoilVol]

Oh so now the people on my ignore list are just bashing the best basketball player we've ever had and talking about why we will lose later in the year and won't make a F4.

Why are people this miserable?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Why is #9 Marquette a dog to unranked Villanova? Injuries maybe?

Edit: there are a few ranked dogs to unranked teams tonight, also #15 Texas Tech is an underdog to #25 TCU.

 

[Adam2014]

If Kyle Alexander hadn't have been injured, Tennessee defeats Loyola and wins that bracket..

One could say that it was unlucky that Kyle Alexander was injured just like it was unlucky that Zeigler was injured. One could also say that the shot Loyola Chicago made to take the lead at the very end of the game was extremely lucky.

Every team needs a Laimbeer.................
