Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4824585, member: 12088"] I think Kim uses the cupcakes the way other coaches use a practice squad. It's a plan, to get her kids used to finding their spots against weak competition, and to get used to winning. By tournament time, they know how they're supposed to move and where they're supposed to be on defense. In some ways, the cupcake schedule last year wasn't quite as shocking as it is this year, just because the SEC doesn't seem as strong as it was last season. I mean, LSU lost to a ranked team in the first week and beat another ranked team a month later. But they won't face another ranked team until the end of January when they play SC, and then not another ranked team until the tournament. They'll end up with 2 or maybe 3 losses by the tournament, and have one of the weakest schedules for a contender. Is that Kim's fault or are the ranking schemes out of date? It's a fair question.
