This just goes to show Ollie can't win with his own players

[champs99and04]

In inheriting Shabazz Napier, DeAndre Daniels, and Niels Giffey from Jim Calhoun, Kevin Ollie is the very definition of a coach who was born on third base. It's one thing to lead a ready-made champion to the national title, it's quite another to construct your own business from scratch. Well, KO, you're on your own now. At some point in every kids childhood, the parents have to take the training wheels off and let a free bird fly. Tonight, Kevin Ollie crashed his old man's bicycle into a mailbox. I just hope the damage costs aren't too expensive for a guy like Shaka Smart to repair.

Once Fishy crawls out of his oven, he's going to hit you over the head with his bottle of scotch.

Please tell me this is sarcasm...

Seems like a strange time to try to preempt the BC/PC/Cuse trolls, but I applaud you for it.

I knew I should have waited till Tuesday to check the 'yard. Jeezus.

Well, glad we got this post out of the way. Keep staying ahead of the ball, Champs.

I love your posts. This shows you don't do sarcasm well.

It is. Champs is well known for 20-page film breakdowns (great stuff), not for being a Chicken Little. He's just inventing a character that is sort of a combination of various other posters. An amorphism or amalgomism of anagram, or whatever you call it.

Nice bit of sarcasm!

Quite frankly, KO can't win without 3 point shooters. I just see one and its Hamilton. Need a minimum of 2 preferrable 3 guys who can knock that shot down.

1) That is breathtaking. Here's my favorite line - "It's one thing to lead a ready-made champion to a national title". Does he had any idea how much a $100 preseason bet on a UConn title paid off last year? I do and it wasn't "ready-made" kinda money. I use money as coasters now.

2) It's bourbon, not scotch. I don't like either one, but bourbon is trendy so I'm making an effort.

3) I like the mixed metaphors, "...parents have to take the training wheels off and let a free bird fly".

4) Four games off of a national title, Kevin Ollie has been cyber-fired.

5) I'm guessing this is a parody.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Its clearly sarcasm.

You're a fool

It proves one thing to me: we have lots of new guys who were pressed. Having not played together, they looked raw & disconnected. They'll get better.

 

[pnow15]

Nobody is going to want to play this team in March. Calhoun or Cassell has to step up as a three point specialist They need to just drift on the perimeter to open spots. DHam will not panic on the press and stop jumping. Brimah gets better every game. Facey making real strides
Hoping Omar and Lubin finally scored off the court.

It is clearly an appellate of different Boneyard posters. Sort of five or six negative Nancies all rolled into one. Or an amalgamate. Whatever it is.

I get that this thread is a joke, but that doesn't make it any less stupid

 

[Stainmaster]

The sad thing is that this could easily pass for a serious thread. Good f@hcking grief, people.

It makes it much less stupid. But still miles away from smart or funny.

 

[huskymagic]

lol Amidah, Facey, Adams, and Enoch are pretty good gets though for Ollie. We will see after Boatright leaves what KO does with 100% of his own players.

 

[superjohn]

This is like when people read a story from the Onion and freak out.

 

[Cheeky]

I wish Samuel L. Jackson would come in, yell M-----F-----er, and shoot this thread.

 

[champs99and04]

Tough crowd.

 

[Fishy]

Tough crowd.

This made me laugh for some reason - just so understated.
