Again, you seem confused by the meaning of truth vs super duper homer speculation. "Looks like the truth" - what a compelling set of facts by super duper homer!
Please just win it all TX. I want to celebrate with this guy. Truth.

Kentucky usually returns a little more than they are this year. Wouldn’t be surprising to see another season like 17-18. Also wouldn’t be surprising to see a top 10 team all year. Not sure why anyone would have a strong opinion one way or the other right now.
I honestly have no idea how UK is going to be this season. It could go either way or right down the middle. History has proven not to bet against UK/Calipari/talent, but who knows when all but one player is new. (counting Allen as new)
This is correct, but history has shown that Calipari consistently has good teams while Shaka consistently has sht teams. I can’t believe that the nutcase is even comparing the two teams and coaches.
One thing for sure. Calipari isn't on any hot seat.
Just the last two weeks.
- Waiver for Olivier Sarr to play right away
- Waiver for Jacob Toppin to play right away
- Commitment from five-star junior Skyy Clark
- Commitment from top-35 recruit Bryce Hopkins
- Commitment from top-25 recruit Daimion Collins (from Texas)
Not to mention Calipari just stole Jai Lucas (who played at UT) from Shaka.
But hypotheticals and opinions are fun.

That should show Texas fanboy where they are on the basketball food chain. Hell, Cal could probably take Shaka from them too and make him an assistant.
Kentucky fans cannot admit the truth that their conference is trash
So they are attempting to bring other things in the situation.
Jai Lucas left because Shaka didn't give him the Associate Head Coach position.

The guy who tried to compare Shaka Smart to Billy Donovan shouldn't be telling others they cant accept truths.
Who is comparing anything...
Someone took offense to my point about if Texas was in the SEC or PAC 12 they could possibly win the conference.
Kentucky was brought up because of insecurity. Someone telling me how great Kentucky was and Calipari and how they are always in the Regional Finals...
Shaka has a tough schedule and because of this will find things much tougher to live up to expectations...
Would be easier if he was in the SEC or PAC 12
Yeah I think we all see that as a possibility. They could even be a cut lower. Or a cut or two better. Nobody knows.
That 2017/2018 UK team would qualify as being better than any TX team Shaka has had so far, or as good as any.
The B12 is very strong, there's no problem putting that out there. KU/Baylor/Tech... yeah that is some top basketball these days.
I get it.
LongHorns over Lakers in 5 for the title. Lebron and the Brow could not figure out Shaka's half time adjustments.
Haha that thread of you defending your boomer heart out for Shaka was hilarious.
And then Texas went on to under perform again.
You said the only coach you would replace Shaka Smart with is Billy Donovan.
You have a hard time admitting Shaka Smart is an average coach.
we will see if Archie produces this year. No more “HES GOT CREANNNNNNNNNSSSS KIDS” it’s put or shut up.
This argument is useless...
Shaka will get his credit after this year.
There are other factors on why he hasn't won big yet.
But he has maybe the most talented team in CBB this year
Two years ago, you said Shaka Smart was at the point where he needed a good tournament run. They missed the tournament.
He followed that up with a 21-16 2020 season.
And you still can't admit he has been average at best.

This take is pretty stale.
That stat tells us nothing about the year to year quality of the two leagues.
Nobody took offense your opinion just got debated with some info to support the contrary, you are in debates on the reg, no? Do you think you're offending everybody?
People are mostly laughing here, my bad if it came across an angry way. It's 2020 it's been a shit year.
Those posts were from March 2019. No, everyone didn't miss that tournament. Texas did, though. Trying to pretend COVID cancelled TWO tournaments, boomer?
That the SEC is a good conference...
Haven't seen an info to say that Texas would fear worst in the SEC than in the Big 12
Anyone who has an unbiased opinion would say that they would do much better in the SEC than in the Big 12...
No. I'm talking about a post from March 3rd, 2019 talking about Texas needing to get a 7-10 seed and make a Sweet 16 run.
That is before the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
The 2019 tournament was played.
Texas lost their final three games after that post and missed the tournament.
On a travel call against Baylor..
But that team isn't this team.
They lost a few players from that team.
We are talking about last year's team
Just curious, but are you saying Jai was going to leave and go anywhere, it just happened to be UK?
He didn't get an Associate Head Coach position at UK.
Being there's no excuses, how will you feel about Shaka if he underachievers again this year?
The point is that BEFORE the 2019 tournament, you said Shaka Smart needed to make a tournament run. They missed that tournament (ie: No run) and then sucked again in 2020 before that tournament was cancelled.
And yet you are here two years later still pretending like Shaka is a top tier coach no on the hot seat.
Shaka made a change due to the G League.
As of right now it is hard for Texas to recruit against the G League
So when Yaklich got the job at UIC Jai Lucas wanted his seat. He had already been passed over once
But Lucas isn't a great assistant coach. Just recruiter
But recruiting is changing so Shaka made the adjustment
Jai Lucas was looking elsewhere since April
Not pretending anything ..
But according to you Shaka should have been fired
But Shaka is building the program where many believe it should be
He has all his eggs in one basket
If you witness a practice at Texas you would have to agree that Shaka is right. All we have to do is sit back and watch this season
Thanks. He's already turned out to be a great recruiter for UK. I'm guessing we're both happy about the move.
Won't know until 2021-2022
But those guys Neill Berry are bringing in look legit.
The issue like I have said before is when the NBA drafts their players from G League over CBB players
They can pretty much stop all the Top 25 players from playing CBB
5 years at Texas:
90-78 record
40-50 Big 12 record
0 NCAA Tournament wins
2 missed NCAA Tournament
According to you that is great coaching .
Not going to argue with you...
Because of the fact that Shaka has pretty much put all his faith into this year's team
We will see....
Talent wise this is maybe the best team I have ever seen at Texas.
I have been around the basketball program since 1978
He sucked for 5 years on purpose?
