But it wasn't bad across the board, UK was far worse than the others and Duke still had a winning record, even though they quit.
You're really reaching by trying to act like the others were as bad as UK. It's laughable actually.

So if we went 13-12 you would be bitching less?
It's not invalid. It proves they all had pretty below avg seasons. Particularly the 2 who rely on freshman the most.
What's not really equal about them?
No one is saying it makes it equal or close. It just puts things into perspective across the spectrum.
You can still win the title going 9-16, so long as you win a conference tournament.
It was though. That was a very down year for sports as a whole.
Guys just quit responding to Lead Belly. Let’s make a pact. No one will respond to him anymore when he shows up with whatever sock. I’ll go first. I will never respond to him again for any reason.
Who’s with me?
Who’s with me?
I guess I'll have to be with you on it. He won't even say hi to me. Getting big timed by lead belly! Hmph!!
Sorry man, but you are way off. You didn't say they were better, you said they were very similar (your words, not mine) other than a fun town. They aren't remotely close other than being in TX. UT is a Tier 1 school in all regards where Tech isn't even close to UT in any capacity.Lol, what? You said 3 first rd draft picks. Where was Boston drafted?
Also, how much did Clarke play that season? So most of the year, we just had one 1st rounder playing for us.
So how did they do? Why you afraid to tell us?
Well, prove that it incorrect if you believe it so.
I don’t even like Cal. I just have enough control not to make up weird lies just because I want a new coach.
Well, it's still just 1 season.
Then that's your choice. I hope you're on here still spouting the same comfort with double digit losses if we find ourselves there this year. Remember, we still have a shot. Just like those other 5 teams!
I didn't say UT wasn't better, I just said Tex TECH isn't as bad off as the poster was trying to make them out to be.
"Texas is one of the best athletic programs in the country. Huge donor base with tons of wealth. Very talent rich state. Nice facilities, bice campus and pretty cool city. It's also in the big12.
Texas Tech is very similar aside from the fun city part. Considering 2 if his double digit loss seasons came post his E8 and Runner up seasons, that's not really a valid excuse."
Texas tech has a huge donor base with a lot of wealth. TX is a very rich talent state, both have nice facilities, even though TX does have nicer. Both are big campuses. They are both in the big 12.
What was I wrong about?
Round and round. You lost this one, just admit it and move on.
Trust me, it's not close, you lost this one bubba.
Like for real real. This is like a bad ping pong match at this point.
Yeah I know, we should have been watching the UK game instead of posting.
Why does it matter what thread we were discussing in?
Whether you like it or not, the discussion remained on point that whole time, it was about the topic of the thread. So you tell me, what thread should we have taken that particular discussion to?
Not only that, but, you literally DON'T HAVE to read any of those posts, you can simply scroll past, or not even click on the thread.
I'll never understand why people on here get upset about a conversation, when all they have to do is scroll by it, it's not like you're taking a nap and we're in the same room arguing.
Title of thread: Chris Beard Arrested
Body of text halfway through — “Cal is an awful coach!”
Yeah, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying it.
I don’t give a **** about Chris Beard the basketball coach.
I give a **** about Chris Beard the domestic abuser getting what’s coming to him.

Happens with every thread. That's why this board has become a cesspool. They just hijack every topic and turn it into a Cal bash fest instead of staying on topic.
What are you talking about? While there might have been a "Cal sucks" comment (he does), that certainly wasn't the discussion at all. It was almost 100% about Chris Beard. You're fabricating **** now.
Every thread? False.
Tell me, how exactly do words on a forum bother you? I just need someond to explain it to me. When I see a conversation, or topic I don't like, I simply don't read them. Why is this an issue?
Right, but so far, all I've figured out is there is a handfull of people with a broken scroll function.
I'm sorry guys. I opened Pandora's box of crazy and have no idea how to get the lid back on him again.
So I don’t want to look I don’t care enough but did this dude hit that girl or not? What’s come to light?
Man thats stupid. Beard was about to be one of the good ones I could see it a mile away.

Yeah, I that Texas would be a perfect testing ground to see if he was UK material.
Looking like he’s not 🫤
Or, just hear me out, you could start your own thread about how much you think Cal sucks and let people scroll through it.
If you go back and actually read this thread, instead of ***** about it, you'll see that @MdWIldcat55 brought Cal and Kentucky into the discussion, followed by @jfcats asking if we still wanted to fire Cal and hire Beard. Then Baller Cal got into the act. So, that's where the thread got torpedoed.
Wait, what? Why are you saying that?
I get it, my back-and-forth with leadbelly got long in the tooth, but that conversation was about Chris Beard and a little about Nate Oats, none of it was about 'Cal sucks', so you're wrong here, we were on topic, YOU are the one that is off topic.
This is the 2nd time I have told you this, so now, you are the one that is disrupting the thread.
This tells me you didn't read any if the comments, you just assumed.
Can we at least wait until he’s tried and convicted, you would think at this point there was video of him doing it. He may be a POS and deserve what’s coming but I watched Johnny Depp get played by a psycho and it took him losing about 100 million dollars and two trials before he was freed.
There are plenty of Cal sucks threads to latch onto. He doesn’t have to start his own. Hell, I’m not the happiest with Cal but that poor horse is beyond dead at this point.
One topic. All the time. We can’t discuss players, recruits, other teams, college basketball history, etc. without the faaaaar Cal crowd showing up to interject their not-so-secret opinion. FFS we get it.
I used to spend hours a week here. Now it’s maybe 30 minutes. Reading the exact same **** by the same 10 people in every thread got old in February 2021 and here we are approaching 2023.
I remember a time back in the end of Tubby when so-called agenda posters were banned for posting the same thing in every thread.
Exactly this. I mean, her statements are pretty damning, but that's only one side of the story.
I know this, there are women out there that are tough as nails, if they attack you, you better be able to defend yourself.
I'm not sure how society wants to view things like that, but it can no longer just be a blanket statement that you can't put your hands on a woman.
If you attack an unarmed woman, that's not cool and you should be severely punished, but if Rhonda Rousey is coming after you, you can't just let her beat on you, she can kill you.
Same think applies to a woman that has a dangerous weapon. You can't just take a baseball bat to the head, or a hunting knife to the chest.
I think we need to see ALL the facts first. The victim didn't want to press charges. It could be because she doesn't want to see Chris lose his career, or her lose her money train, but it could also be for another reason, so we shouldn't just bury the guy yet.
But this never turned into a "Cal sucks" thread.
We made some comparisons, like, would you rather suffer through a 9-16 season (Cal), or have a coach that has 5 double digit loss seasons out of 6 (Beard).
We also talked about Tru Green (grass is greener on the other side) and Stubborn Penny's family getting shot up in their car in Lexington.
This was never a "Cal sucks" thread, don't buy into digital chumps' accusations.
I've been here since 2013 and it's def the most poisonous it's ever been since I started. I usually always get on here at least once a day but I've avoided it a lot this year. I hate that too because I generally like almost everyone on here and respect their opinions. It's starting to be like politics where you gotta pick a side and stick to it while trying to own or humiliate the other side. Screw that, nobody gonna tell me how to think or what to believe.
I'm sure most would agree Cal has been a great embassador for UK. He really gets that side of it.
Lol accusations. Wow. Anyway, we should go back to the original topic of this thread that has zero to do with a 9-16 team or multiple loss seasons that make us all angry at our current coach.
*eye roll*
Seriously, back to the topic.
