Well, I'll just say if you ever really wanna give it a go you're more than welcome. Just don't be surprised with I end up kicking you in the fricking head, you goddamn miserable prick.

I was responding in kind. Because I don't give a shite. There's no irony there. It's just Drewbie trying to sound more intelligent than he is. Again.

It sounds terrible to say but I'm cool with cutting ties with Gafford. I think he might be part of our problem.




He is the only reason we have won the games we have...

The little grammar nerd routine you trot out here all the time is hilarious. It would be even better if you were good at it.

You think the usage of irony is a nerdy grammar routine? Did you fail school?

It's hard to say how much more or less success this team would have had without Gafford. On the one hand, the team sometimes plays their best ball with him on the bench due to foul trouble. But on the other, there are also times when he is the only player on the court who can make a play on offense OR defense. This team is better off with him on it I think, but they won't miss him as much as people would expect when he is gone. It's a mixed bag. As you can often expect from a team full of green horn types.

Mike won't be recruiting himself out of any hole... HE'S DIGGING A frickING BIGGER ONE.

LINK

Not even in the Top 100 nationally. fricking loser.

I don't care that we're 'young'... Kentucky is young.
Yet they are pulling in recruits for some strange reason.
Maybe they give a frick about winning.

I'm sure you're a nice guy, but frick you Mike.

It's pretty obvious that Mike is trying to build a roster full of guys who will stay here and mature together as a team. It remains to be seen if it will work or not, but as of this moment, he really doesn't have much he needs to replace. I'm sure he's looking for a replacement for Gafford, but how many are you expecting him to take this year? You only get like 15. It isn't football where you recruit 100 dudes for each team.

Maybe he isn't expecting anyone to transfer, despite the rumors. If that's the case, then it's okay. The roster he has right now is good enough so long as they can stay together.

Don't believe me? They led Kentucky by 16 for much of the game in Rupp with Gafford on the bench.

They have plenty of talent at the moment. It just needs to mature.

One thing I would add...

I didn't even watch the game yesterday. I had too much to do around the farm before this bullshite 4° weather kicks in. Late winter deep freezes suck.

Anyways, I did listen to the radio broadcast though, and I've noticed that this team over the last two ballgames has shown marked improvement in the half court offense. Their ball movement is moving in leaps and bounds lately.

I am still very excited to see what the future holds for this roster.

Yesterday I was happy to see Anderson kept two timeouts in his pocket for the end of the game. It won the game being able to call that second timeout after Ole Miss had set their last play.

Nope. Don't believe you.

Leading Kentucky by 16 was more about Kentucky than it was about Arkansas... once Cal put his foot in his team's collective arse they put their collective foot in ours.

Oh, and the bit about maturing... that's nice. Again with Kentucky... if they're in the same position age-wise WHY would they be recruiting... because they're trying to continually improve the team?
What a novel fricking concept.

This roster is not 'good enough' as you pathetically state... you build a roster with players and then you actively recruit to try and replace them with better players.
THAT'S how you build a winning program.

If you as a coach sit back with what some losers think is 'good enough'... well, you get the results we're experiencing in basketball.

Along the lines of a roster being 'good enough'... try selling that piece of shite line to DVH and see what he says about it. Or any coach with the drive to win for that matter.

'Good Enough' is how we got in this fricking mess.

I figured you would say that was more about Kentucky than Arkansas. Haters can't give credit where it is due. I almost added into that post exactly what you would say just to save you the time of typing it. Because I'm nice.

The rest of the post can basically be disregarded. Mike Anderson makes a lot of money doing what he does. His philosophy is not to grey shirt players. He wants a team to stay here.

Others want to recruit all the best players every year. They want one and dones. Arkansas doesn't do that. Because we can't recruit that well.

Gee... why would we try to recruit all the best players every year? Can't we share? WTF

I mean - why try and recruit the best players every year? What good would that do, right?

What a loser mentality.

Please... visit a Low T clinic... you're in dire need of treatment. Do you get cucked on a regular basis as well?

When you have the youngest team in the country, you aren't gonna go out and recruit a full class. It's just simple math.

Boy, Gabe Osabouein came up big in that game yesterday. That guy is a damn good ball player.

I'm gonna copy paste this into word so I can print it out and hand deliver it to Mike Anderson and Hunter Yurachek. Your brilliant analysis has changed my mind.

Maybe they oughta consider hiring you to replace Anderson.

I tweet Hunter everyday and he doesn't care. Shows what kind of person he is. He fired Bert to get the position and basketball isn't a priority.

He didn't even fire Bielema! He hasn't ever hired or fired anyone as an athletic director before.

The geniuses around here are hoping that they can persuade a guy who has never hired a basketball coach before to fire (also a first for him) a guy who wins 67% of his games and hope he's able to hire someone better.



ETA: Let me be perfectly clear here. At this point, considering the above, I regard anyone who is clamoring for Mike Anderson to be fired this year an idiot.
