Ignored again. I don't do ban bets.
If you want to go through with it, it's up to you, but Kennedy is a known commodity...and that commodity is below-average.

If you think A&M is beating Georgia despite evidence to the contrary, I don't know what to tell you:
1/26/2013: Loss 59-52
2/9/2013: Loss 52-46
2/8/2014: Loss 62-50
2/11/2015: Loss 62-53
Not only has Kennedy not beaten Georgia, but none of his teams have scored more than 53 points, averaging 50 points per game in those losses.
Also, let's see us win a road game first before claiming a win over another coach (Barnes) who Kennedy is winless vs.
Several posters said they'd be shocked if Kennedy lost to Arizona State, and they blew him out.

I'm really not sure why you're so fixated on past results that came from different teams on both sides of the court. There's no such thing as curses. Not saying we beat UGA this year (I had us losing to them or UF preseason), but the reason won't be because we lost to them X times before at Y location.

Four games with three different teams, including 2 seasons in which we had far greater talent, is a trend that states that one coach simply owns the other.
Remember when after the 1998 Big 12 Championship that Bill Snyder couldn't beat R.C. Slocum no matter what?
Remember how Nebraska couldn't beat t.u. no matter how awful they were, including their 5-7 team?

From your original post:
With the talent on this team, that is simply unacceptable and should be grounds for termination.

Hard for him to meet expectations when the goalposts keep getting moved. There's a select portion of our fan base that will never be pleased, no matter what he does. And just to preempt your comment, I've always been steady in stating that Kenndy needs to do certain things to stay around, he just needs time to accomplish those things. He by no means has a golden ticket in my book, but he's accomplishing those things now.

Making the dance and reaching the 2nd round is acceptable if you're a double digit seed.
Most projections right now have A&M as a high-4/low-3 seed.
If you are a top four seed, the expectation is sweet 16 at a minimum.

I doubt we're that high of a seed, especially when we're showing free throw problems again (a legitimate knock on our team right now).

We were a 5/6 seed entering last week. The "experts" are going to drastically overreact to the Baylor win (many already have, saying that we're now the favorite to win the SEC).

More like 14-6 (5-4) or 15-5 (6-3) heading into the ISU game.
Based on your preseason predictions, I would think you'd be a little more positive after seeing how dead wrong you've been this year.
I would say
Best Case: 18-2 (8-0)
Worst Case: 14-6 (4-4)
Most Likely: 16-4 (6-2) or 17-3 (7-1)

Kennedy has never beaten Rick Barnes or Mark Fox, and has never won in BWA.
Posted on 12/21/15 at 2:50 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
And before he beat Baylor he was 0-3 vs them. You are basing your predictions way too much Kennedy's history. Each team & year is different.
The Texans had never won in Indy until yesterday. They were 0-13 going into the game there.

Losing in the second round with this talent is unacceptable. Mark Turgeon would have sacrificed a toddler for this much talent.

And?
Yes, we are loaded and a good basketball team. Nobody disputes that.

Nonconference: 9-3

2015-2016 season.
Most likely nonconference: 10-3
Final record: TBD
The evidence is there.
This year, any loss to an SEC team not named Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida, or South Carolina is a BAD loss.
Knowing Kennedy, we'll have at least 3.

It's not that we're just "good," I think we're exceeding everyone's best expectations.

Correct, nobody thought Trocha would be this improved or that Davis would be so good so soon or that our PG play would be such a strength.
