Random talking heads, but they've been doing it for a bit. Greg works with Field of 68 on occasion.Just for context, what’s the background on these dudes ? Are they just random talking heads or do they have some sort of credentials and allegiances?
Most of my in laws and a few of my best friends are big ten fans. The Big Ten fans, or any P4 for that matter, remind me of people from Texas or SoCal: They only know what comes out of their region.These are Big 10 podcasters who said Boo Bouie from Northwestern was the best player when we played them then said we had nobody that could slow down Terrence Shannon. They do not do their homework
Carter (guy on the left) played college basketball at a small program. Greg I'm assuming didn't, but he's a big Michigan/B10 fan.Just for context, what’s the background on these dudes ? Are they just random talking heads or do they have some sort of credentials and allegiances?
Most power 4 fans think the big east is another mid major conference and lead the whole narrative that the big east will be nonexistent in a couple years. Despite the 4 national championships coming out of the conference in the past 9-10 years between us and Villanova…Most of my in laws and a few of my best friends are big ten fans.

When my Cali friends visited my family in CT.- True story- one guy said "can we go hike a canyon and then go to a Gelson's to pick up some food?"
Similarly, my purdue fan in-laws actually said to me, before the '23 tourney "UConn is good but they don't have any good big men".
I feel that UConn fans have a really good grasp on teams from other conferences.
Yep.... they thought every team we had lined up in the next round had something that we hadn't seen before and couldn't handle... you can add Edey/Purdue to that list.Most power 4 fans think the big east is another mid major conference and lead the whole narrative that the big east will be nonexistent in a couple years.

Honestly it’s funner this way. Love seeing their faces and reactions when they get plowed by UConn in march. Even this year, northwestern fans were saying we’ve never seen a defense like theirs, or Bama fans saying we won’t be able to keep up with them, etc.
Yup I recall purdue mentioning how much talent they have and a bunch of other stuff. And Illinois mentioning we haven’t seen size like theirs. The size one I found particularly funny, given the big east was loaded with big time centers. It’s like they think the big east is full of 6’8 big men and 6 ft guards.Yep.... they thought every team we had lined up in the next round had something that we hadn't seen before and couldn't handle... you can add Edey/Purdue to that list.
This was also a view shared by some on this very forum. That the "next game" won't be so easy, toughest matchup yet etc etcYup I recall purdue mentioning how much talent they have and a bunch of other stuff.

I think maybe some of that was a combination of some not wanting to appear "spoiled and arrogant" and also some just trying to save themselves from potential disappointment. But certainly some just didn't fully believe in the team.This was also a view shared by some on this very forum. That the "next game" won't be so easy, toughest matchup yet etc etc
We've earned "spoiled and arrogant".I think maybe some of that was a combination of some not wanting to appear "spoiled and arrogant" and also some just trying to save themselves from potential disappointment. But certainly some just didn't fully believe in the team.
Without edey they lose by 50. Their guards were way overmatched.Yup I recall purdue mentioning how much talent they have and a bunch of other stuff.

Theyre utter trash. Uconn haters that were forced to bend the knee and also classlessly called Reed "the stupidest player ever". Trash move to say that about a kid going out there busting his tail for a program thats as big a mess as Michigan. Theyre tools.Just for context, what’s the background on these dudes ?

Northwestern played defense? Who knew?Most power 4 fans think the big east is another mid major conference and lead the whole narrative that the big east will be nonexistent in a couple years.

Yeah and they also called him stupid.They said “Hurley’s greatest accomplishment would be turning Reed into a viable/productive player.”
