I will hater boy. And I hate posters like YOU.
Would like to see a clear explanation of what he means by "not bought in". The young guys are exactly that - young guys. Isn't it up to a coach to teach, set reachable goals and get them bought in ?utahozzie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:31 pmJerry just referred to young guys not playing because they aren’t bought in…UltimateVUFan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:21 pm I don’t know that Shelby is gone. He logged some minutes earlier and didn’t do much of anything. Committed a foul way out of position and missed a shot big time. Granted. Nobody has done much of anything this game. So who knows. Sure hope he stays because he and Dort came as a package. And I think both have displayed potential (Dort more so, obviously).
This was just one of those nights. $hit happens. VU isn’t the only team to suffer it. Bama did in their last outing. They were clearly on a mission to respond to being embarrassed last weekend. VU was the unfortunate sacrificial lamb.
We should have been in the tournament in 2000. While 2003 was bleak, the we did have a very good 2000 season where we beat multiple ranked teams and overall he had beaten multiple top 10 teams, including a top 10 UF team on the road. We also had broked the losing streak to UK against a very good UK team and given that the 2003 team had zero seniors playing in the rotation, CKS was essentially given a last chance to prove he could get over the hump.MemorialMagic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:12 pmNeither did Stallings.

All valid points. I, too, believe Stack has demonstrated enough to earn a fifth season. This team has played inspired basketball at times. At the start of SEC play they looked poised to make some noise. Then the Robbins and Dort injuries put them behind the eight ball for a few weeks. And they still competed in that first game against Bama at Memorial despite having just lost Robbins the day before and adjusting on the fly. I am curious to see how they look in late February/March assuming Robbins stays healthy.Jason94 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 11:37 amAt this point all CJS really has to show for 4 seasons is a couple of home wins in the NIT against decent teams, a season which featured a few wins against teams that were either barely in the top 25 or borderline top 25 teams. He hasn't shown he can beat a top 10 team, and hasn't shown that he can beat either UT or UK. We are about a year away from really needing to see some results or needing to move on. I don't think he has shown that he cannot get to the tournament or beat really good teams, but he hasn't quite figured out roster management to show that he can do those things.MemorialMagic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:12 pmNeither did Stallings.

This game against a furious #4 Ala. team (who had reached #2 two games prior) ended 101-44, not matching CKS' 2003 106-44 blowout loss v. #2 UK although our output was similar. UK went 32-4 that season and were undefeated in the SEC.dallasdore wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:58 pmWasn't that the score of the game versus UK during Stallings tenure?
Everyone seemed to ride Stallings after that until he was run out of town. So what about Stackhouse? He doesn't have the tourney apprearances or sweet 16's to hang on to.
And neither are you.Dickeys Nightmare wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 1:04 pmThat’s not very nice.
Dickey's Nightmare was saying that the post made him uncomfortable - that he hated that type of post. He did not say he hated you. Responding to him that you hate him is unfortunate.
His response was indeed very unfortunate.memphisVUalum wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:38 pmDickey's Nightmare was saying that the post made him uncomfortable - that he hated that type of post. He did not say he hated you. Responding to him that you hate him is unfortunate.
I guess in this world of constant warring, goading and enemy-making on an international basis, which affects how people treat each other as individuals, maybe DN mentioning the word "hate" in the first place about a post might not be the best idea in the future because people then like to escalate "the hate." That's why we are currently on the brink of nuclear war after goading a nation by stepping over their long-stated bright line border security concerns in Nov. 2021 leading to a reactive invasion in response to our antics after we refused to use diplomacy after that, followed by our joyfully escalating sales abroad of our favorite military industrial complex missiles. All of which makes CEOs of bomb-makers very happy, as Eisenhower once warned.
So I would suggest maybe skipping the ate-hay (hate) word after seeing the escalation above before we wind up pushing the Doomsday Clock hands forward again. "I counsel peace," as was said by a character in Breaking Away (1979).
Better watch it, guys, I have my thumb on the button. I suggest we all give it a.rest. Just fans. I was pointing to something hopefully good in our near future. He said he hated posts like that. I said I hated posters like that, simply meaning I hate to be called out for pointing out the obvious...our best sport is coming. If you two want to continue this chrade, we can, but I think it best just to move on.Dickeys Nightmare wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 11:11 pmHis response was indeed very unfortunate.memphisVUalum wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:38 pmDickey's Nightmare was saying that the post made him uncomfortable - that he hated that type of post.

Great post, memphis! Though I must clarify: Neltner was the one who outscored UK in the first half. Hence one of my all-time favorite cheers: “NELTNER’S WINNING!!!”memphisVUalum wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:15 pm Kevin Stallings returned the favor to Kentucky five years later, beating them by 41 points, one of UK's most lopsided losses in their history, so nobody during the rest of his tenure was thinking about the earlier loss differential after that. Shan Foster alone had outscored UK into the 2nd half; we led 41-11 at halftime.
I remember that game now! Heck, I was so giddy when they were chanting that. Back when Memorial was rocking and the students were creative. That originated from the student section.UltimateVUFan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:44 pmGreat post, memphis! Though I must clarify: Neltner was the one who outscored UK in the first half.
