Get used to the losses

[Riley]

Sorry folks, but get used to the losses. We have a team void of talent. We have a team that has NO heart. We have a team with no coach.

If this team could not get up for a UNC coming in to OUR house on national TV, then, really one has to blame smiff. He was simply outcoached by crying Roy, he can't get his team motivated, and I think I heard a "sigh of relief" coming fromt he SEC on Saturday afternoon.

Will this be another 10 loss seasn or worse for smiff this year?

I said in a post after our first lose that we would have another 10 lose season. I think when we get Morris back everything will be OK but until then we will not have the inside presents as we need, Indiana will beat us underneath and so will Louisville. I think we will get it together soon or later. I am against some of the things tubby does but think he is a pretty good coach i just wish we had Pitino back but im happy with Tubby unless we dont make final four this year! its getting old not seeing UK in the final four, come on we are Kentucky.

I'm afraid you're right Riley but UNC is tougher than most thought.

Well Riley. I suppose I am the only one who will come out and disagree

1) We are not a team void with talent.

2) We are not a team with no heart!

3) Most of all we are not a team with no coach!

What we are is a team with players in new roles and getting used to playing together. Yesterday of the starters, Rondo and Sparks were the only starters that this time last year we would have thought would be starting now.

How quickly everyone forgets that this team had two starters and McDonalds all americans on the sideline in a suit and tie yesterday! Also who could have known that Kelenna Azibuike wouldnt have been here this year on the floor with this group.

Whether Tubby was outcoached yesterday is up for debate also, but to come out and say this team has NO coach is YOUR opinion. You certainly are entitled to it and thats what the board is all about!

My opinion of your opinion, is it is the most RIDICULOUS comment ever made on BBH, BAR NONE!!! Anyone else who doesnt think that, about us having NO coach is simply being nice!

[The Bubba]

I didn't mean to imply that I agreed that we didn't have a coach, just the fact we may lose to IU and LVille. I'm also sure Tubby is trying very hard right now to right the ship and will do so.

[uk9698]

Wasnt directed at you Bubba. I also agree there is a chance we could lose to IU and UofL. Hey obviously we will have to play better, but I think we will.

Everyone is entiled to their own thoughts and opinions its what these boards are about, but you can be sure I will let them know when I think theirs are WAY OFF!! That of course is my opinion.

[The Bubba]

I don't expect anyone to do anything but express or defend their statements. I think Riley's post was heartfelt and had some merit.

[uk9698]

I agree and that is fine and EVERY word in mine was just as heartfelt and meant 100% each word!

[The Bubba]

I agree with your post 96 but was just saying that I don't think Riley was trying to do any flaming, just stating how he felt. I don't agree with everything he said but somethings had some merit.

[uk9698]

I agree 100 percent we should have protected our home court against UNC and played better and also that it is possible we could lose 10 games this year, other then that, thats about it. I am afraid I would go to my death defending that this team has talent, heart and a coach.

We all know that Kentucky has went down heel the last few years but its not lack of coaching its lack of recruiting although Tubby had an awesome class for last year and will have some great players coming in next season, we have had allot of recruits in our grasp but then decided to go elsewhere. Things will come together really soon! Also i think Tubby needs to find a lineup and stick with it and put the players in the position they need to be in.
