Arrogant and Spoiled

[Chin Diesel]

Ed was right.

Just seal clubbed Gtown mid-February.
Team will be #1 in the country another week on Monday.
Twelve game win streak and all were conference games.

It's the day before Taylor Swift's BF is playing football at an Usher concert, and not much of significance is going on.

And the BY is basically dead. A morgue.

 

[HHusky]

With 12 straight wins in conference perhaps we need to consider if our conference is as good as we hoped. Not super sure it is.

 

[UChusky916]

It's hilarious how dead the yard is when the team is rolling.

Threads on giving the ball back to the refs NBA all-time top10, and complaining about commentators like Donny.

 

[Mister P]

We were ranked 24th last year before the Georgetown game in DC on 2/4/23.

What a year it’s been since then for the team and fan base.

 

[Scoe]

Damn straight we are.

 

[Connhomer99]

We do it with class. Danny really got everyone going in the right direction. There’s a reason we’re number 1 and Purdue isn’t gaining much steam on us. Who can F with us

 

[shizzle787]

It's dead because this was all but a given win and so will be DePaul (doomed).

The schedule favored us after years of starting out with tough road games .
Butler of all people was our toughest road game YTD in conference.
St Johns was at MSG hardly a road game .
Xavier pre season the only expected loss , should have been a tougher one but injuries hurt them
I’m not as so much impressed with the record per se as the fact we accomplished it with some key injuries . Toughing out wins that could have been losses .
We have difficult games at Marquette, Creighton, and Providence
The league itself has underperformed its gawky expectations but injuries to key players have been a part of it .

The league has really underperformed I believe. I watch other leagues and other than us I can't see Big East teams winning many games in the tournament. And I don't give a rats butt about how the other Big East teams do.

Marquette could give us trouble and we play them twice. Playing SJ even right now at home.

It is. BE is the third strongest league after the big12 and sec. Just look at bracketology... projected to get 5 out of the 11 teams in and 4 more are on the bubble. That’s much stronger than the big10, acc and pac.

The reason you get more posts after loses is because angry fans go back and forth about why they’re mad, and lots of folks reminding said fans they’re bad fans for being mad.

There isn’t much to say after a curb stomping that someone else hasn’t said. Great job team, keep the ball rolling.

 

[Drame]

On Twitter some fan from another BE team was calling us entitled. And I was thinking yeah, we litterally are entitled.
Like when crust covers chicken it is encrusted. We are covered in titles.

People like to moan. Negative news and social media tough guys are the norm. There's some weird subculture of fans that relish being right about something in their eyes when we lose

I'm here through thick and thin. I was here through the rough Ollie years. Which is part of the reason my seats are so good nowadays . I took advantage of those "forever seats", when others were bailing

It was clubbing baby seals not a curb stomping.

Those season has been the best since UConn rejoined the BE as far as how schedule was overlayed on UConn injuries, timing and breaks.

Guy on the broadcast compared us straight up with Purdue, said Clingan would negate Edey and Purdue has nothing past him; we win.

That was my thought since very early on in the season

Watching Purdue now killing Indiana . Edey is a 10 story building. Not a lot of touch. Tough to get inside on him but our overall talent is better.

The current situation reminds me of this oldie:
A man is sent to prison for the first time. At night, the lights in the cell block are turned off, and his cellmate goes over to the bars and yells, "Number twelve!" The whole cell block breaks out laughing. A few minutes later, somebody else in the cell block yells, "Forty-four!" Again, the whole cell block breaks out laughing.
The new guy asks his cellmate what's going on. "Well," says the older prisoner, "we've all been in this here prison for so long, we all know the same jokes. So we just yell out the number instead of saying the whole joke."
So the new guy walks up to the bars and yells, "Twenty-three!" There was dead silence in the cell block. He asks the older prisoner, "What's wrong? Why didn't I get any laughs?"
"Well," said the older man, "some people can't tell a joke"

Forget the punchline, we're living the set-up. How often can you repeat the same thing? We should just go to the same system. I'll start:

Eleven!

You are correct. I noticed this with all sports blogs regardless of which team the blog is for

It was clubbing baby seals not a curb stomping.

Well, it may just be because I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think baby seals should be allowed to go clubbing until they've reached drinking age and certainly not when they're just babies.

Old fashioned or just plain old?

I think he's both.

I know that you and I are both.
