We've lost our edge

[asiseeit]

I wish I could be as upbeat as the rest of you. Don't get me wrong cause I am always excited about watching
the team play and never miss a game regardless of how a season is going. On the positive side I really like
the way JE is playing lately and I like the teams level of effort most of the time. The easy part of the schedule
is now over and were going to find out soon just how good or very average we are. Still lots of question marks
for me. How will JE and complimentary centers do against the AAC? Can our small guards compete against
AAC level guards? Right now, I'd have to say going .500 in the AAC may be a bar a little too high but I'll
enjoy watching the team evolve each and every game.

A actually shared the company of a flaming ChicKUn Lover tonight. Man that boy was funny. Talked about Self's little fling with a student a couple year's back and how it was covered up. He was happy to admit that the ChicKUn's are cheaters and the NCAA will NOT touch them. I hammered him mercilessly but all in good fun because CB is always good fun. Especially when drowning in Wichita brewed beeeeer.

Glad to know ‘Colds’ train didn’t go completely off the tracks...

LoL. I'm really not trying to troll the fanbase. I truly believe our program has gotten soft. I just do not know the exact source of the problem. It could be a combination of things. I have my suspicions. I wouldn't be bringing this up if I hadn't gone, "WTF?" to myself multiple times over the past 1.25 years. I assure you something has changed. I can't tell if we are evolving or devolving. I can say that in the interim (last 1.25 seasons) we have declined in the toughness/Play Angry category. That is crystal clear.

Cold, I use to think it was impossible to troll your own fan base. You have proved me wrong, so thanks for setting me straight.

The question remains, though, SHOULD you troll your own fan base?

The only way this thread wouldn't be fun to me a year later is if we continued our downward trend of Play Angry basketball.

If he read this thread, I'd think he'd get a kick out of your "gift".

[1972Shocker]

Maybe it's both of us and I'm afraid you'll have to be second in line.

But hey, as long as 3G likes his gift I'll be happy.

2 hours after you posted this, how can I be the first to "like" the post. I swear, some people just don't get it (most of the time it's me).

- They are not measurable. Pulling a random measuring scale out of your backside, like Mark Adams did, doesn’t all of a sudden make something measurable. I know what “play angry” is. Again, your overuse of it has made it corny. Being able to easily spot something doesn’t make it measurable.

- All those things your proclaimed to be easily learned are things that freshman are notoriously bad at. They think they are doing those things but they aren’t because they haven’t learned yet what tenacity, hunger, drive, and competitiveness means for this level. You expressed that you don’t think I know what play angry is. Well I’m starting to think that you don’t know what a freshman is.

- “I am speaking NOTHING of this year's inexperience or how well they may execute in 5 months.” This line right here from you is your problem. You should be speaking of this years inexperience because that is largely the reason why this team lacks all of the things you say it is missing.

Threads like this one are always fun to visit a year or two later.

Well, fun for everyone but the poster who starts threads like this one, I should say.

I was able to pick up a relatively inexpensive Christmas present for 3G. I think he will greatly appreciate it.

Here's a happy video for ya'll to heal by. A real tear-jerker. The artist is Freddie V's doppelganger. Or is it the other way around? ;)

That's my boy. :)

I wasn't really bashing the teenagers but I can understand why you wouldn't want to read all my posts. I can be verbose...
