Before the Second Game Yesterday

[greenbean.sixpack]

If someone would have given me the option of losing to a top five team on the road and having the same university's basketball team beat the bearsharts with the SEC Tournament Championship Game on the line, I'd choose getting beat and the bearsharts losing.

Can you imagine if those cheating f'ers made the championship game, they'd bribed every official and paid off Vandy's players to throw the game (Vandy's seeding is already locked up, so they may not be totally focused on this game anyway). We can't lose basketball ground to them as they have the better coach (I hope he's gone in a year or two). We couldn't risk them making the tourney.

There's no shame in losing 2 of 3 on the road to a top 5 team. Had we played them at the Dude, we'd like won 2 of 3.

f*** that. I want to win. Period.

 

[PBRME]

17 all that.

I understand your thinking, but winning 1 of 3 vs 2 of 3 against a top 5 team on the road during the opening weekend of SEC play is almost meaningless.

The bearsharts making the tournament would be much more damaging to our program as a whole. If we don’t strike gold in the basketball portal, i fear they gonna leave us. We’ve already surrendered football to them, can’t afford to surrender basketball too.

Are you kidding me? No.

 

[CEO2044]

No. There's more I could say, but that covers it.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Are you kidding me? No.

You realize this is a trade off. A very minor negative outcome (losing the baseball game), vs a potentially major negative outcome, them making the tournament.

No it wouldn't. Them getting a fluke autobid to the tournament would have no impact whatsoever on our program.

And FFS, stop calling them the bearsharts. This whole thread is embarrassing.

Sorry, that hurt your little feelings, but your mom told me you were soft.

This is ridiculous. Even if they had made the tournament so what? We’ve got our own problems to fix either way. And them losing yesterday or winning the SECT didn’t change that.

There are various stages of red & blue envy. This qualifies as severe.

Really dude?!?!
But reading your posts the last couple of months, it doesn’t really shock me!

This is most definitely the worst thread in SixPack history. Congrats!

Thanks! I feel honored, that’s a high bar

Exactly, and one has nothing to do with the other anyway.

 

[Badon]

No. Because I have zero OMDS.

 

[Chesusdog]

You hate to see it.

 

[Dawgzilla2]

This is a hypothetical, right? I mean, you weren't actually offered that, were you? Because that would be weird.

Was anyone offered that?
