There is plenty of support for mick out there and you know it. The detractors are simply the loud minority

I personally am excited for the upcoming conference. When did we have the most success? while in conference usa. number 1 in the country at times. lets go out and win this conference and become the big boys again. the team that everyone else hated in c-usa bc of our success. that leads to more tv time, better recruiting (for example memphis 2nd ranked class in THEIR current league), and the list goes on.
i kind of got sick of celebrating when we finish 7th/8th in the big east. its time to dominate again like the c-usa days. i think we can all agree that we were having the most fun when we were beating up everyone else and getting 30 win seasons. SO LETS DO ITTTTTTTTT

My thoughts exactly. I believe next season will be much more fun that many years past.

The electricity is still there. Remember the UL game last year? The place was as loud as ever.

A good team will shine in any conference. It may lose a few more games in an elite conference, but it will still shine, will not be blown out more than maybe on one bad night. That's why they have a year end tournament, so good teams can compete against other good teams who may THINK they are unbeatable. Of course the NCAA has to take a few questionable teams to fill out the field, but not all the lowly seeds are lousy. A lot are better than we were this year.

That was an exception. At one time, it was the rule.

It was never the rule. Mick's offense is pretty bad and pretty boring but if anyone could rival him it was Huggins. Man I went to so many incredibly boring games during the Huggins years. The good teams like UL and Memphis always had a good atsmosphere but besides the OOC cupcakes they would play, the games didn't exactly thrill when the likes of Tulane, Depaul, UAB, Houston, Southern Miss, etc. Revisionist history.

Another exaggeration. People even in the 90s dogged the red sweater crowd. Plus, I went to many many games where the atmosphere wasn't great. You forget there were many cupcakes that played in Shoemaker Center back then too.

Dale why do you even follow a program as bad as the one you paint UC to be?

Those cupcake games at the Shoe also drew 10k nightly back then. Must different than it is now.

Pure alumnus allegiance, Jeff. Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist, but, bottom line, I really desire an efficient operation - run by an efficient leader. If you were satisfied by this season's results, good for you. I was not for numerous aforementioned reasons. I have no desire to root for another school, and I'm as ardent a fan as you are, I can assure you. We are just coming from different directions. Hopefully, eventually (sooner rather than later) we will wind up at the same end point, and we'll both be ecstatic.

By the way, that statement is NOT a slam on UC, simply a statement that the conference doesn't matter when you get to the finals. It's the team. You can have 5 All-Americans or none. But you have to perform to win. Isn't that what this thread is all about?

Dale, why does it always have to be one or the other? Don't answer that, it is a rhetorical question. It is a societal issue we have, we are either happy or mad, in agreement or argumentative, etc. Personally, I thought UC would do better this year, and it was a disappointment when they just barely limped into the tourney. But if making the tourney, being considered to be one of the top 64 teams in the country, is a bad year, I will take it. It wasn't ideal, but it worked out okay and it definitely wasn't like we were really awful.
Wow, I was just berated on here for saying basically everything that's been said recently on here. Except some people still think we are above X. Look at the facts. The last twenty years the better team has been across town. Doesn't mean it always will be. Go cats!!!!
UC 60 X 45
Bob Huggins is never coming back to UC, Bob Huggins well never get into the basketball hall fame, Bob Huggins is persona non grata at UC. You really need to get over it.
See we really are delusional. The last ten years they've won 7. Do you u delusional and math???? I love uc. But do you actually believe the last ten years were better? Geez we need to get our facts straight!!!!!

Get back on your other ID, Ralph. You make more sense, if that is possible.
