In my fit of anger and drinking during that debacle in Morgantown tonight I had the pleasure of encountering the following bullshit talking points:
1) If we were in the SEC we're definitely a tournament team.
2) If 'insert player name' just decides to work hard in the offseason he can be all conference.
3) Don't forget that half the team was going to walk if Frank would've been retained.
4) These guys have potential!
5) You know, oscar is dealing with 10 newcomers, give him time.
6) If we had Marcus Foster and Nigel Johnson we'd be salty.
7) We only won 17 games last year but were definitely better than 10-15 tourney teams.
It's like some large section of our fanbase has battered wife syndrome. We just cannot call things what they are, instead we keep finding excuses to invite more abuse upon ourselves. STOP people! It's time to STOP! We're rough ridin' awful. We're missing the tourney this year. We've got inconsistent vets combined with young inexperienced players. Next year we'll still have inconsistent vets, with sophomores. Great, so maybe we'll make the rough ridin' NIT. And we still have man boobs Big Meat pretending to be a post player. We have one legimitate big man. ONE! (In my best Dan Hawkins voice) this is Big XII basketball man, if you want to roll out one post player and seriously have a chance to win, go play intramurals brother.
But my all time favorite is oscar apologists still trying to pretend like this is an improvement over Martin. I hate that opinion more than I hate Big Meat's man boobs.
