Yup, you come across reeeaaaal respectful like.
@Nooneputsbabyinacorner and a couple of other KU fans have been posting over there for years. How have they managed to do that, but you couldn't?
You actually may be banned from the Tarheel radar, even though you have never been there.
Just checked, nope. I can still post there. Not being an ass and showing respect on a rivals board goes a long ways.
Been years since I visited, but many have said that they were banned even though they had never visited before. Hard to believe, but when multiple people say it, there has to be some truth to it.
IIRC they used to have a very sensitive mod. He'd edit ppl post after they were banned. When something happens w/ UNC, I'll venture over and read their board. He doesn't appear to post as much.
True story. Good times. Winking
But Zipp still posts over there at will. That guy is killing your board.
There's a dude I could never figure out what happened to. Also James Young. Loads of talent, but seems like they didn't take it with them when they left for the league. What's with some of these athletes today?
I've noticed you're a big fan of hyperbole.
I am currently not banned on any board. For years I was banned on Nuttin'ButNet, but they changed formats and I got back on. I mainly read there as one of the mods has a quick trigger.
MrBaracus, you need to take message boards a little lighter.
It's great so many UK fans are giving him outs. We appreciate his college basketball knowledge and want him to add to the conversations instead of taking away.Eventually, hopefully, he'll realize he's not insulting/getting to anyone and will start to add to conversations in a positive manner. My favorite aspect of this board is how fans of different teams come together and mock each other in a witty way.
my bad, I'm sure you won't focus on UK as much going forward.
MrBaracus, Lurker is a friend of mine and there is little chance that you will hurt his delicate little soul.
I'm pretty fragile, don't let my stature fool you.I have feelings.
Sorry guy, I'm a pretty happy person and laugh/smirk at everything I find funny. It's much better than constantly complaining. I guess it's just boils down to general attitude to message boards, sports and life in general.
What did I say about the BIG12 that was untrue?
Welcome to a rival fan visiting someone elses home board. Derp. WTF do you think happens in that situation? You should see what happens when a UK fan dares post on a UL board.
Their weakness get exploited in the NBA. Monk, nor YOung, IMO could guard a chair. Neither were good on the boards...Again, IMO. You can be good at one thing in college, and excel. Not so much in the NBA.
Give me a list of the IU talent Borden.
Bert man, I love you...But god damn you cannot handle criticism of anything UK. The poster asked why is it guys like a YOung or a Monk, get lost in the NBA. And its simple: Their weakness get exposed, and they don't have enough strengths(or their strengths are good enough) to overcome this. I was talking bad about St. John Calipari---or UK. I was giv ing an example on why so kids who are really good in college, do not excel in the NBA.
6 is more than I thought. Winking Crean had talent for sure.Bert man, I love you...But god damn you cannot handle criticism of anything UK.

As for IU starters in the NBA:
Victor Oladipo: 3*...Turned into the # 2 pick. He has started 345 of 402 NBA games. Career average of 17ppg... 2X All-Star. Not bad for a kid not even in the Top 100. Man---if he had only went to UK.
Noah Vonleh---Started for the Knicks last year. Has started over half of his NBA games.
Cody Zeller----Has started 214 of his 361 games...And thats after only starting 3 games as a rookie. Since then, he has been a perennial starter.
Thomas Bryant---Has worked his way into the Wizards starting line-up in his second year. Averaged 10ppg/7rpg. Apparently the Wiz like him...Just signed a 3 year, $25 million dollar contract. He contines the improvement---his next deal will be that of a max deal.
OG Anunoby---Started for the Raptors before being injured.
And of course Eric Gordon....Has scored over 10, 000 career points in the NBA. Started 55 games for the Rockets last year, and has been a perennial starter his entire career.
No, not 11 NBA starters. But I bet 6 is a hell of alot more than you thought.
I guess you are right, Bert----Google for some apparently is a secret.
I mean, he did....But not in bunches, or repeatedly. Oladipo was a good find. Dude came from nowhere.
I did not mean to mean to rustle you so bad; however, 11 is impressive. No other team at the moment can get close. Of course many of those 11 were top flight players coming out of high school, but so were some of the IU kids.Bert man, I love you...But god damn you cannot handle criticism of anything UK.
