I posted this (below) in another thread, but then I saw yet ANOTHER thread you started about poor, sad, unfortunate Michigan being without their best player (boo hoo!), so I really thought I needed to repost this. You're starting to exceed your Troy Aikman obsession, and this ain't healthy.
------------------------
What is your deal? UCLA won 5 post-season games, and winning OT games takes guts and determination. They just came up short, as 67 out of 68 teams in the tournament always do. And as much as you say Alabama and Michigan were subpar teams, they were still #2 and #1 seeds, and nothing you say is going to change that. It's a bit comical how you complain about an opponent having foul trouble being "favorable" for UCLA -- as if UCLA didn't have something to do with creating that advantage. And as for height, or lack thereof, it didn't seem to stop Alabama from being a #2 seed and running roughshod through the SEC. Injuries? Every team has them. UCLA was missing their best player due to injury as well, that's part of the game.
The truth is, UCLA got a lot of mileage out of this tournament, and the publicity they got is going to really pay dividends in the near future. USC did as well, but for some reason you're more bitter about the success UCLA had than you are proud about the success USC had, and I don't know why. Okay, if you want to hang onto the 4-0 record against the Bruins the past two years, yes, you have scoreboard. But the Bruins earned their accolades this tournament, and there is no denying that. I suspect you're jealous because UCLA captured the hearts of many viewers in this tournament, certainly the talking heads on TV, and USC became an afterthought after that beatdown by Gonzaga. Well, not much we can do about that now, but you need to get over it.
Thats it?? We ALMOST beat the team that beat you?? Thats your comeback
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
4-0 baby
you just posted two photos that don't even have a basketball in them. Are you going to get a banner for the gaylan center for when Gonzaga beat Ucla? They are a nice team (you should know, they kindly kept pushing in your stool when you played them), they will probably let you hang it.
You sure about that???
These trojans wouldn't know a basketball if their boyfriends bought them one for Christmas.....
Interesting tidbits on Chris Smith...
The first piece is when CS was unfortunately injured.
The middle piece was written after Chris Smith announced he would come back since NBA wasnt that interested in him.
the last piece is that Cronin returned his core team and 5 starters??????? What?????? I thought this year was a Coaching miracle just like Herb Brooks of USA Hockey??
Got it. Yeah he looks like a productive player.....especially last year.
Honest question. Who replaced him in starting line up??
Not sure who from
ucla was out....honestly. you still counting HS recruits wHo never suited up and guys who declared for the NBA draft but then get rejected and so they come back? Am I missing someone?
Somewhat true. But not entirely. If you played a fully healthy or a Top Team earlier in Tourney You just would’ve lost sooner.
What amazes me the most is how you can see us little people from your high perch? Talk about full of yourself. UGLY had a lot of good fortune and they make the most of it. Now you need to get over it.
