@jayballer67 you’ve been warning us of an impending Kentucky beat down for weeks.

I & BShark siad as much. Not really a knock but this team just not as talented and a lot of clos games just several factors buddy it sucked I agree but I mean the sun still came up the next day Kentucky is good , they got length - - they got a pure outside shooter , and they have Oscar on top of the fact I just think we was living on borrowed time. - Thanks for the your input buddy

@jayballer67

If you want "the sky is actually falling" visit the phog board. The absolute coaching failure thread has some pure gold.

ya been there - - done that , wasn't necessarily limiting my post to this site - -PHOG is absolutely ridiculous -I've read their little posts, like stated like a Spoiled little fan base Golden spooned. for God's sakes teams are going to get beat- -and badly on given days. If people didn't realize that this was a very easily scenario then they were just hidding behind Apron strings - -people should of seen this coming. - -It's NOT the end of the world. We just flat ass got beat by a better club that day & chances are we will get a whuppin pretty good AGAIN somewhere down the line. - -Next yr we get reinforcement's very well might not be that way.

Like I said not limited to this site there are just some people who aren't happy unless they win every game zero turnovers , zero fouls , and out rebound opponents every game.. - As far as the Coaching part itself I'll still take Coach anytime of the week. Day in - -Day out. there have been just to many occasions during his career his winning % against other ranked opponent where he has won I'm not questioning his reasoning/ability/ decisions to lead the team . When a guy has a 297-18 winning % of 94.3 % at home and many of those coming against other ranked teams - -sometimes highly ranked teams & I'm sure even during those times I'm sure there are some idiots STILL questioning WHY he didn't play this player or that player in certain times even though we won Questioning Coach's deciding players minutes. - - IF a guy is winning 94.3 % of his games at the Phog and hate to think what his overall winning % is - -I'M NOT QUESTIONING the guys Coaching's decisions.

Therre is a reason he is at where he is at and we are at where we are at, and a lot of it is knowledge of the games and situations of the game. - Let me be perfectly clear again I'm not saying you or even some others here are the whiners-- but generally overall it's just insane the way some think

Ok , so here I am . I know a lot of posters here don't care for me , or what I have to say that's ok but I can still express my views , my opinions right ? - -This is a forum is it not ? -We have a right to express our opinions correct ? -You don't have to like what I say , there is a lot of things I don't like people say. I can deal with that I'm a grown man ere ALL surpose to be grown men - or Women for those that are here. It's all good but I will say this if people start going down the road of calling me and idiot and moron or many multitude of other things If people get hurt by what I say and tell me to go away- Geez is that grown up?

Now about the game and KC I will admit is not my # 1 team , yet I love KC I'll always pull for KC when they play unless they play my # 1 team which some of you know is Green Bay. I took shots about how Gb folded like a cheap suit losing their game at home and they were right. Aaron and them put 10 points on the board they had everything right in front of them and folded and I took flack

Ok , so I was actually listening to Good Morning foot ball and got to say Michael Irvin AND actually Stevan A Smith ACTUALLY did bring up some good points about the Chiefs/Bengals game and here it is for what it's worth you can either look at it objectively or think it's trash whatever works for you, would hope you open your mind and sit back and think about what they said - - makes sense.

1st Stevan A Smith : you probably won't like it but the similaritites between Rogers and Maholmes and teams in these playoffs are pretty much spot on. Smith said that the thing is KC put up THREE POINTS - - THREE - - in the entire 2nd half and in overtime they had it all right there in front of them and with all the weapons KC has - -Maholmes - - Kelce - - Hill & others and you go up against a kid that THREE years ago was playing for a Championship at LSU and in his 1st year at Cinn in pro Ball got hurt - -so in his 1st full yr leads the Bengals to the playoffs and beats Maholmes at Patrick home field and KC puts up THREE points in the entire 2nd half and overtime4 straight AFC title games at KC - you win 2 -you lose 2 - - ONE Super Bowl been to the super Bowl twice - -you win one -- you lose one - -but in this game - - fact is they folded

2nd Michael Irvin said and he made a really good point for what it's worth : He said Patrick came into the league had instant success he was throwing the ball all over the field throwing big strikes bombs and so on which was great. - -He said that they ( Media even mentioned ) that when they were playing in the Superbowl they ( The Media ) were even saying do we dare - are we looking at the successor to the Goat ? - -Are we looking at the next Tom Brady ? - Then Irvin says - and he is right on Patrick Come on let him play out his career stop it he says. - League started saying ok Maholmes- started taking the deep ball away.

He says Patrick said OK and he learned , Patrick learned small ball, KC drives started making more plays longer drives and it was working Patrick learned what defenses werre doing, he said that is the problem with Aaron - -Aaron like those long strikes - -Tom Brady plays small ball 5-10 yard pass and just works the ball down the field. - -Michael said MaHolmes was doing that and it was working - - -BUT he was right when KC takes what the defense was giving them IT WORKS 5-10 yards at a time, they went away from that - just saying guys Irvin made a lot of sense

@mayjay said in Talent Wins Games:

This crappy coaching job still has managed somehow to go 17-3 against the hardest schedule in the nation.

Thank you. It kind of makes me scratch my head. When were winning everything is Peaches and Cream we have a HOF Coach - people talk about he doesn't lose at home and what a hell of a Coach wouldn't trade him for any other in Basketball , then w lose like last night and the Earth is standing still and tired ol Bill running that same old tired offense - - how he plays favorites when he has better players on short lease on the Bench- just think OMG people and these are the same people that just drool over or about him when he is winning -- which is a hell of a lot more often then not.

Thing is too he has these kind of records yr after yr after yr with the short leash and playing favorites. - -Then you got people who says he can't recruit top players anymore - A lot of these past couple of years and even at that they haven't been trash BUT a lot of reason for it is this Damm NCAA investigation. You don't opposition Coach's aren't playing the investigation and possible probation card against Bil to the hilt ? - -I mean come on , you can't be that thick- -you dam well they are - -Would say got a pretty dam good class coming in next year is pretty dam good. - Just amazes me how quick people turn- love to ride the bandwagon when things are good but if there is a hic cup- they can't wait to jump off and talk shade.

Coach does what he can do -- it's up to the players to execute and make the correct decisions - -Bill draws the plays - -the players run the play - - -OR NOT. - -- Kentucky is ONE game. - In no way does it make or break our Season - it doesn't have any effect on the Conference and the only thing the Uk loss might have an effect on POSSIBLY might effect the seeding in the Tourney - -- OR NOT - if your a fan then your a fan - -good times - - bad times - - so so times - NOT just when the guys are winning -We all knew or should of known -this team was not a really dominating team - and it became quite obvious short into the Season we were in trouble at the 5 - -it's gonna be ok - -

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Chiefs playoffs thread:

Yeah it hurts, feel better?

Not at all I actually wanted KC to win whether you believe it or not - - not that I care if you do, what I do care about is I'm tired of People here that when others speak what they think about things getting told to go away cause your feelings got hurt or people saying that I don't know what I'm talking about cause don't agree and kiss Crimson and Blue butt or red and gold butt - -Again KC blew this game plain and simple if not please explain why they lost. they had everything at their disposal until Pat decided to get loose with the football.- -Sorry I'm not going anywhere. - I still am huge KU and I like KC. - Not my # 1 team but I still pull for them 98 % of the time sorry

@kuballin10 said in Talent Wins Games:

@Texas-Hawk-10 we agree on kj and pettiford. Pettiford can actually beat his man off the dribble and the other team will guard him unlike Harris. As a coach you know 4 on 5 kills offensive spacing and is an issue.

KJ is just because you have no other choice.

Clemence should have absolutely played more. Was fine against mstate and he can score. Yes, he’s bad defensively but have you see Mitch or Dave or the rest of this team especially the guard who get blown by every play?

Defense is what matters Joe can stop ball. You can spew mid major crap get plenty of guys make the jump
From mid major to big d1 just fine.

You want one better? Guy is up there for mvp...went from mid major to the nba ja morant. Mid majors clean our clock often in the tourney away from the friendly confines of Allen. No, Joe ain’t ja and yes, his coach too figured it out late he has a guy who can get anywhere on the court he wants when he wants and finally said “go score” and Joe did. He scored and he took it away. I watch more Drake than most due to some family who went there and we were all excited for Joe coming here only to see his career hit a road block.

Self prefers his system over helping guys become the best players they can. They are limited to excelling in what he wants from them in his system.

Same reason the nba never was an option or will be the guys up there all talk....it’s why he has minimal to no involvement in team USA stuff at the nba level.

Maximize this teams potential and he definitely has not. Without Och oh boy can’t fathom where we’d be.

Nothing like Harris playing over remy to start the year and remy not even looking to score. Keep his aggression but direct it defensively as well instead it was all defense no offense remy. Just atrocious philosophy on motivating and improving players.

Like your input and banter keep it coming sure beats the “oh you want self fired huh, oh go apply at ku athletics for the job” bs most message boards are full of when guys have zero to contribute because they know nothing.

hey it's me- - - HI remember me I'm the one that told you to go apply - -gotta say your on a roll tonight-- I know just a little about the game myself thanks for the props , yet I think maybe just maybe I'm gonna lean a little more on the input advice of our HOF Coach that might just know a little about the X's and O's - hell maybe might just know a little more then you - -can't be sure. I do know I'm not going to just sit and watch some idiot just keep ranting and raving and say nothing. Again you don't like how Coach is handling the team there Mr Couch Potato Coach of the year. Then trot your happy ass to his office - - let him know give him hell I'm sure he would love your input, give him the same theory about how he fails with his Coaching style. - -hell you came here and started your rant from the word go. Like others said all you got to say is Bash the program - - and bash the Coach. - If your so unhappy with the way things are being done - there is always other Schools with better Coach's you can give your Coaching knowledge , so knock yourself out - -speaking of your quote Bs ya -- listen to what your saying lmao - -don't worry I'm gonna be right here - look forward to hear your awesome response -you add some spunk - - -got to be worth at least 5 Atta boys Dam mercy Man relax your gonna be all right. the Sun is still gonna come up in the East and Set in the West life goes on- It's one fricken game. I bet there are many many Schools that would love to be 17-3 at this point of the Season

For a Guy that shows favortism and longer leashes to some players the guy must be doing something right.- - How many consectitive weeks have we been ranked in the top 25 - -leading the Nation, here is a guy that has won just as Many NCAA titles as Cal has since he has been at Kentucky - - -relax buddy it's not the end of the world like you try and make it out - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well pretty simple. Just got our butts beat in all most every phase. - There was a few of us here that thought this could happen. As much a hate to say it - - Kentucky has a good club , not that team of last year.

Just have to look at it like this , it's just ONE game , plenty to be fixed , got to move on from this and focus on Conference now. - - SEC kinda put a butt whuppin on the Big 12 - Baylor got whupped too by Alabama- which was worse ? - - Ku OR Baylor ? - -not even really mad at OCH believe it or not - - even good players can and have had bad nights.

Jalen really did about what he has been doing 8 points & 8 rebounds - - just one of those night in College basketball .I mean what else can you say - - OCH 4 -- 14 - - 13 points -not a lot to say -just got our ass beat by a better club tonight - NO EXCUSES --- just got beat period - plain and simple
