I’m not sold on this team right now. I’m holding out hope that we’re better than advertised, but when I look at the rest of the SEC and then look at ourselves, it’s hard to imagine a situation where we’re in the top 4. Especially now that Mark Mitchell is back to Missouri.

Here’s hoping that all our players are better than we think and we end up making some noise in the SEC!

I can’t do it. It’s sad that I feel like I’m making the same excuses for Kentucky basketball that I have to make for the football team now. This freaking sucks.

Can you copy and paste something I've said that has made you do research on me? I'm confused. I'm trying to think what I have said that hasn't been UK related .
Just provide us with a list of your former/other screen names. Should be easy unless you are hiding something. We’ll wait.

Yeah that was my takeaway too. At first I just assumed it was football, did Texas basketball absolutely load up or something this offseason??
It looks good on paper, #1 Composite Recruiting (plus) Portal Class.
2 Five stars, Goolsby (#19 ranked) and Spears Jr. (#8 ranked) Freshmen
7 Four Stars, most notably Isiah Johnson from Colorado, David Punch from TCU, Amari Evans from Tennessee, Elyjah Freeman from Auburn, and international pro PG Laurencikas from Lithuania

They are the trendy pick to be stout currently for those wanting to pick outside of the usual and established contenders.

It sounds factual. Ascribing anything more than that to it is just your imagination creating something to whine about. Like I have told many others previously on the same topic if you think that is bad enough why continue being dishonest about it other than being overly committed to an agenda?
It also sounds like loser mentality. Sure, "one crooked call" cost us a T4 finish. But, the team was so bad only "one crooked call" was all it took to finish 7th. Loser mentality exemplified.

I get it's factual. That's why I said do you get how that sounds? We were 7th in the SEC. I give a simple opinion of the upcoming season because like you mentioned...we have the facts already.

There's no whining involved. It's funny tho because people ***** about AI but AI can have a better conversation than a real person.

It's like I did no whinning at all and you kind of are because I guess you didn't like what I said? I just as a man don't do that in real life when someone is different. Like aw there goes that cry baby because he doesnt think the same way as me. It's just not me but I also realize this is a forum and not real life so do as you please lol.
I thought is was humorous he stated "facts" about an opinion (crooked call). Irony isn't for everyone.

The fact is you misrepresented the truth in order to support your negative agenda. You should write that crooked ref a thank you letter for helping your agenda by making an obviously crooked call against Auburn which helps you frame Pope in a more negative light. Finishing tied for fourth in a 16 team league that was the best in the country is not the goal but is not the end of the world either especially when injuries and an uneven schedule weighted against us are considered.
Pope needs no help in that area. He does just fine on his own.

Yeah and A&M 11th? Florida 2nd? What are they smoking? Is this basketball because if this is football wow. Even basketball this looks terrible. No way Texas is the best team. Missouri isn’t 5th. Where is LSU and Georgia.
On paper taxes is the best team in the conference

There is no mentality expressed at all no matter how many times you insinuate it and it has been many times now. It is simply a clarification of reality.

I just think its funny everyone seemed pretty optimistic about this roster before the Mark mitchell stuff and then people got really pumped when we got him. Ever since that fizzled off its like the vibes on this team went to crap and I dont understand it. This is a good roster it really is and they should play as a team very well. After we got milan everyone was like alright let's do it we are good. The lack of mark mitchell shouldnt change that. He was a bonus

The problem is it’s a 6th-8th in the in the SEC quality roster, especially since Mark Mitchell is back at Missouri where they’ll likely be higher in the preseason standings than us.

Maybe if we were in the ACC or Big 12 it might be acceptable, but this roster isn’t good enough to compete in the SEC at the moment.
