LOL ok.... You do know I wasn't trying to knock you guys right? I was just asking what your experience was like for this game since that veil had finally been pierced.
Can we get an apology from everyone who doubted the Big Ten?
- Thread starter Monorojo
- Start date
It’s like he forgot about the importance of the Aryan Cats of the 40s and 50s who won HALF of those all-mighty 8 titles. Lol
I consider 38-1 a success. Actually any Banner year. (FF or better).
And it's far from just Kentucky fans.
Has UVA ever had a successful season?
Purdue fans talking shit about NCAA success. It doesn’t get any more ironic than that.
I was surprisingly calm even when we were down 14.
yep. 38 is a record, but the 1 sucks
I'd love to relate and have someone to talk about the pain, but no one else has won 38 games.
note UK has won 38 games and a title.
Hey, it was a great year considering the blacks were allowed to play that season. Different ball game. Different measurement of success.
There was a lot of game left so I could see that. I just was shocked because I fully expected Virginia to throttle them from the jump.
Success is measured differently. Like, reaching the Final Four would be considered successful for teams like Duke, unc and Kentucky. And going 7-1 in the first round is considered successful for the B1G.
I couldn’t decide who to root for. It’s hard to root against something that historic and unlikely, but I didn’t want all of Virginia to commit ritual suicide.
Good thing they play two halves. I’m sure there was an inordinate amount of pressure on the players. Hopefully that pressure is alleviated and they can just come out and play their game vs OU
Wait, wait, wait, I haven't made it all the way through this thread yet, but surely someone has pointed out the irony in this post.Win another national championship (not this year because you're not going to this year.......) and then you can talk down on the Big Ten's accomplishments.
LOL, thee ole "I know a guy, who knows a guy, that knows a guy...." Bullshit. To make it worse, it was a dude on a message board that told you that.
It's pretty pathetic when so many people make accusations without proof. "Everybody's cheating" where's your proof?
I don't know what your fascination is with Kentucky, but you should take a hard look at your program, they're the ones that are about to crumble.
Note: I wish no ill will on the KU program, but it's pretty obvious the dude I quoted here wants to see UK go down more than he wants his own program to win.
Who said that?
Hey, great, Iowa won a game against a decent mid major program and Fran didn't have to go bonkers, but lez be honest, that little run is over.
I had a strong feeling you would catch that. I couldn't believe a BIG10 fan would use National championships for shit talking.
The fact that he's an Iowa fan makes it really funny.
How many true title contenders are there in each conference?
I count three extremely strong title contenders in the ACC. I don't see a true title contender in the BIG10. Maybe MSU if they can get out of their bracket, but that's a stretch.
So IMO, the top of the ACC >>>BIG10
Again, JMO
Frankly, I wouldn’t mind seeing Kentucky go down. But only because all of you have your heads buried while casting stones at EVERY other program.
I mean, you goons actually believe that Kentucky and Calipari and World Wide Wes live on an island of holiness. You deserve to have your little bubbles burst.
Umm, 4 times since 09/10.
So let me get this straight. You're trying to knock UK because they haven't been to more Final Fours "with all those one and done players"???
So, UK should have more than 4 final fours in 10 years with all those F R E S H M E N?
Iowa sports a veteran team every year, where are your final fours?

First, this isn't 2009 man, WWW hasn't been talked about in 10 years and you're accusing a guy of doing something he hasn't done. Simply advising kids on the AAU circuit to play for Cal/Memphis isn't breaking rules. Stop reaching, there is nothing there.
Also, how are our heads in the sand? Are we supposed to just throw our hands in the air and yell "OH MAN, WE ARE DEFINITELY CHEATING, WE MIGHT AS WELL ADMIT IT, THERE'S LITERALLY NOTHING OUT THERE THAT INDICATES WE'RE CHEATING, BUT WE PROBABLY ARE".
I mean seriously, why would we think UK is cheating? UK has a compliance officer that is in Calipari's business daily, nothing gets by her and every player goes through her approval process before an offer is made. Look her up. Sandy Bell.
So when a BIG10 team loses, they were overseeded and really weren't all that good? Shouldn't have had to play that particular team??? Got it.

SPORTS A VETERAN TEAM EVERY YEAR? what a joke last season these were the top 6 , 4 SO's and 2 FR, the year before 5 FR and 1 RSSO, season was experienced 1 RSSR, 1 SO, 1 RSJR, 2 JR's. plus they played with out these
SO 7'0 Nunge who RS'd
JR 6'8 Pemsl who RS'd
these 2 were tied for 5th on the team in scoring last season.
FR Fredrick RS'd
these will join the team this fall along with these as incoming FR
Top 100 4* F Patrick McCaffery by ESPN and Rivals
4* PG Toussaint by ESPN and 3* by Rivals. rated the #1 PG in the state of NY and the #2 overall in the state of NY.
this team has not been a veteran team as often as you make it out to be.
but they were just a 10 seed and it was Cincinnati that was the higher seed. Iowa WON. next up is #2 seed Tennessee who some are saying should have been a 1 seed.
I'm not reading all that garbage NiteWing. Know why? Because Iowa basketball doesn't matter. So much so, that after I typed out the word "Iowa", my phone refused to recognize the word "basketball".
But if your team was young last year, then it should have made the final four according to your standards.
I mean, you expect UK to be there more often than 4 times in 9 years .app apparen in your mind, freshmen oriented teams should get to the FF more often than not.
"True title contenders" is such a played out phrase. What defines a "true title contender"?
A team with the goods to survive 6 games and win the title.
I believe the 3 ACC teams I listed are stronger candidates to win a title than the top 3 B10 teams.
Doesn't mean one if those B10 teams can't win it all (Purdon't is seriously suspect though), but the 3 ACC teams are just better.
So it's a subjective term that doesn't really mean anything? Just something you can use to pretend to have the upper hand in an argument. Michigan wasn't a "true title contender" last season and made the National Championship game while other "true title contenders" on their side of the bracket flamed out. Such a generic term.
Don't tell Della, but I will be a Hawk tomorrow at 11:10 CST.
but your FR are 1 n done players, ready to play in the NBA from day 1 when they get drafted. BIG difference between 1 n done players and 4 year player that develop as they get older.
Iowa has had just one 1 n done player and that was 20 years ago. if and that is a big IF Fran can get a couple 5* 1 n done players then the expectations of them reaching the FF the expectation of going to the FF goes up 10X Fold.
next year the expectation will go up with 5 SR's on the team, 1 of them being #38 #8 PF By ESPN Cook top 100 by Rivals
then there is SO F Wieskamp #42 by Rivals and top 100 by ESPN,
LIKE I said there is a big difference between 5* 1 n done players and even 4* 3-4 year players that need to be developed.
every year Kentucky has to replace those 5* players and they ussually do with more 5* 1 n done players.
Duke is loaded with 5* players with Zion being a possible #1 pick.
Funny thing is, even with all those 1 seeds UVA hasn’t been able to do much with it. Hopefully that changes this year.
Are we talking about last year or this year?
Bottom line is, Michigan didn't win last year and they aren't winning this year.
But instead of beating around the bush, why don't you tell me where I am wrong?
Are you saying the BIG10 has a better title contending team than UNC, UVA or Duke? I don't.
