Title: Cats go at best 8-8 next year.
Post by: Kat Kid on March 25, 2007, 11:27:18 PM
High expectations are a son of a b1tch fellow EMAWs.  Look no further than Phog.net to see a group of fans imploding.  Imagine the scene there if Roy would've taken his lilly white rag-tag bunch to the Final Four.  The merciless HIBBIQ Bracketology Internet Message Board Gods spared us that.

Can't we all agree that turning over the keys to the likes of Clent Stewart, Blake Young, a one legged swashbuckling Pirate-esque Bill Walker (2 ACL tears?  Goodbye Dunks!  He may never be able to touch the rim again!) a shaky, unproven freshman in Michael Beasley (through the grapevine- I hear he is a meek, shy kind of guy and occaisonally is distracted by cheerleaders when on the floor and has to be removed from games when his corresponding erection takes hold and saps his energy), Benneck (his neck is like 4 feet tall) and "sweet" Lou Colon (when you look up finesse in the dictionary there is a picture of Mr. Colon accompanying the explanatory text) is slightly troubling?

With the great strides to be made in the Big XII this year, looking forward to next year (Kansas- Return everyone!  B-ball Dynasty!  Tradition!, A&M-Billy Gillespie he doesn't sleep, he just wins games!, Texas-The coaching genius of Rick Barnes will be unleashed without the lead ball known as Kevin "too many shots aka Hog-Ball" Durant!, Mizzou- Get ready for 40 minutes of hell YEAR 2!, Baylor- Two Words.  Proper Nouns.  Given name.  Then Surname.  In the middle an f#bomb for emphasis.  Aaron.  &@#%ING.  Bruce.,  Oklahoma St.-  Gallagher Iba, JamesOn Curry, Byron Eaton and "the pappy" in the audience radioing in advice to his son.  UNSTOPPABLE., Nebraska- Doc Sadler.  Some say he's unproven so far, I say he's setting a trap.,  Colorado- Free At Last!  Free At Last!  God-Almighty, Free At Last!, Oklahoma- They have a coach from DukE!  THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY GO WRONG!, Texas Tech-  Let's all conjure up a moment of rage for the winningest basketball coach in the Big XII, nay the world., Iowa St.- I can't even muster the energy to get excited about them.  I admit it, they fvking suck.  Hard.) I see a muddled picture with everyone competing for a shot at the National Title!  Count no team out!  Well, count Iowa State out, but besides them the state of the league is STRONG.

Cats, the good news is we're looking forward to some .500 ball and a shot to make the NIT again.  That's all we can hope for.  Let's just be who we are, let's accept 5th because clearly first isn't available.  Let the beautiful eagles of the conference soar in the rarified air above us in the clouds.  Our lungs are not ready yet, they are young and just breathing their first breaths above sea level.  In time, they will grow strong but for now let us realize how far we have come and realize that .500 ain't nothin to be ashamed of.  There is no shame in realizing who and what you are.  We're a middle of the road club that can hustle, scrap and come up 'n bite you if you're not playing.  We're NOT the Kansas Jayhawks folks.  We're just not.

I'll admit the Big 12 summary was pretty good.

Yeah i hear ya man.  Predictions are so true too...since the media predicted KSU football to go 1-7 in the big12 and everything and well you saw how that worked out.  I wasn't gonna say anything on this post and waste my time like you did but i thought i'd write something.  Predictions=Nothing.  Anyways...

So you think we'll do better than 8-8?  I can't imagine why you might think that, but go ahead and try to explain your reasoning.

Judging from your post, I think your "reasons" will leave much to be desired.

Chico are you seriously making fun of me cause i'm a "cub"  wow.  Anyways i can't see how were going to go 8-8 next year.  We're adding WAY more talent.  4 players that we are getting are better than last years entire roster put together and you say were going to go 8-8?  I don't see it but whatever, i'm done with this thread

When you said case closed, did you push up your horn rims and slam your leather briefcase shut?

this thread was started HOURS BEFORE THE TEXAS TECH GAME

remember that while reading the first post, this thread = that thread (not really, but along the same lines)

You're kidding right?  Have you seen how big Iowa State's coach is?  He's huge.  0-16.

I just don't see the talent being made up for.  We lost three starters, you guys know that right?

yeah, 3 starters, and we think a group of unproven frosh can fill thier spots. . .I don't think so.
