Man, it just dawned on me.

If it wasn't for UConn, Kentucky probably has three of the last four national titles and people would be talking about squid being one of the greatest coaches of all time.

They way I see it, the rest of the CBB world owes us BIG TIME!

 

[aburks41]

We have single handedly stopped 4 titles from Dook and Kentucky. America owes us

On the first post, yes, at the moment UK fans are griping about this while Louisville & UNC fans are thrilled.

On the second post, UNC fans had been thanking us for years and will continue (until we surpass them in titles).

 

[willie99]

I know UNC and Louisville fans love us

College bball would have been unbearable in that scenario. Someone had to step up. We were just the program to do it.

Uconn crowbar'd itself into an elite status at the expense of two of the most prominent basketball programs of all time. It's really amazing to think about.

Next step - small fish dook and kensucky are congratulated for preventing juggernaut uconn from adding to its overwhelmingly dominant repertoire.

Lol, I think we are closer to this status than you know.

Not that the rest of the college basketball world would have cared as much, but for ourselves, we also prevented Florida from winning a 3rd title (tying us) in 9 years and arguably staking claim to the best program of the 21st century.

So, which program does the rest of the country thank for keeping UConn from winning too many titles? George Mason?

Calipari's formula of using one-and-done's is difficult to pull off and very labor intensive. Without the continuity of players from year to year, he has to teach everything to every player, every year. He also has to recruit 5 new starters each year. That's a lot of work and has the potential for burnout.

We have once again saved the day for many college fan bases, they owe us, but then again, how do you repay super heroes?

Given what you just stated, it makes it even more amazing the run he has had. Thank God, we were there to thwart them in their quests for dominance. The lakers should hire John Calipari if they were smart.

After reading a few boards, I find that UK hates us as cheaters, punks, thugs, etc. So does Providence, I understand this as they had hoped we would fade into oblivion, sorry (not much) PC. Florida board was class all the way. I have a lot of respect for them. They didn't whine about anything.

I look at the same way with my NY Giants if not for them the Pats have 5 superbowls plus an undefeated season.

the cheat thing shows up everywhere, dook, unc, nc st, wake, oh st, kansas, everywhere, but you know, it doesn't matter, just sour grapes. We'll just have to continue to keep winning more hardware.

Thank Emert and Harrison for that.

He conserves his energy by not coaching much.
