Time to Become the Villains

[OkaForPrez]

5th National Title, pre season 3rd place in the coaches poll.
Spurned by the glitter boys two weeks before the season.
Mocked by the softest program in the country.

It's time for Danny to buy every one of the boys a red light saber. Bring this team to the dark side.

I want to play angry this year like the Piston's in the 80s. I'm talking Dajuan Blair hip tossing Thabeet angry.

Knock guys to the floor and step over them.

20-0 Killshot runs.

Every post game press conference, don't answer questions just stare into the camera.

Bring out the Jersey Danny. All of it.

I don't root for the sphincters anymore. Anti-heroes are self-indulgent bores. I say we stick with having a bunch of good dudes who play the beautiful game.

You can have good dudes who play the game mean. I want Ricky Moore. I want Boat on Wilbekin. I want Jeff Adrien with his football mouthguard in. I want Rod Sellers.

I want Donovan Clingan Dunking on Kalkbrenner and talking all the way down the floor until he get's T'd up.

John Thompson used to tell Ewing to goal tend the other teams first shot just so they would know he was there. I want that.

Agreed but this week has not been an indictment of our toughness. Quite the opposite. The glitter boys clearly prefer a cheerleader coach given the keys to a kingdom instead of mean Dan Hurley. Leave the tik tok generation to Duke we want men to play here.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Did I just see two different people unironically use the term "glitter boys"?

 

[That Guy]

There is no doubt that the disrespect in the Big East + being spurned by top recruits will light an even bigger fire under Hurley. Somehow with how amazing this last half year has been, we still have a massive chip on our shoulder as a program and that's just the way I like it.

This.

Yeah we really don't want criminals on our team a la Kansas but I sure as hell wants some some dogs who will talk trash and step over you on the ground.

And tbh that's what we already have. I can promise you Clingan isn't going to be concerned with anyone's feelings on the court.

Sounds like Little League is more your speed.

Lmao you really had me with this. I can see Karaban pulling it off

I can see you as little league parent.

 

[Kitaman]

Kinda hard to play angry when you're at the top. Just my limited experience.

Is this supposed to be one of those times you insult me? I can't tell.

But anyways, no. Baseball is stupid. We'll be a basketball family unless my wife allows the kids to grapple or do muay thai like their old man.

Solo Ball is going to put somebody on a poster this year and then step over them. He'll probably get a T for it so hopefully we're up by a lot at that point

Every team needs a Sellers, Rash, Adrien, KEA, Selvie, Boatright, Bazz etc.
Big time sports calls for big time attitudes when between the lines/on the floor etc.

Who is this years?

Who is this years?

DC could be as well as Sampson or even one of the young guys - Ball comes to mind

Nah, just an observation. But what was you comment to me? I was pretty sure I could tell.

Every sane person in the world knows that all these glamour of preseason ranking and hype talk mean nothing in March. Just look at UNC last season.

How about win the games when it counts, run circles around the hyped up teams, keep winning National championships, and keep sending kids to the league where they've dreamt to play since childhood?

I trust the best coaching group led by Dan Hurley know better.

Recruits will come, the perception will change.

All in jest dude. Lighten up.

 

[AntG168]

Kicking everyone’s a** will do just that

I mean, I want us getting the respect of the trend-setters and hype-men. But the second best thing is getting the disrespect. We're certainly not getting ignored.

 

[huskyinfl]

We need to become the Alabama of basketball

Truer words have never been spoken.

Don't take it personally. He's perpetually triggered.
