Calling people twats, brining peoples families into things and wishing people were aborted now is fair game here?
And yet the only one bleating for an apology is you.

I am surprised that you are surprised by this. You have done your share of mudslinging, and now you are offended that others are attacking you? You bring it on. I had a friend who loved to argue about anything. Enjoyed doing it. I seek to understand as much as possible. There is agree/disagree. That can be productive. But not attack/defend mode. That mode never has a good outcome. I dropped this person as a friend years ago. He grated on the nerves. To me it is negativity.

No one is going to apologize. You just have an insatiable neediness wrapped around a persecution complex.

Dude... I have many times in the past tried to get people to stop making things personal (with you and others) And this has worked with others... but never sticks in regards to you.

Have you EVER stopped to think why and just for a few seconds thought to yourself "what is it about the things I say that makes the entire community constantly turn against me?"

Fuck man... if you never are willing to take any responsibility for the things you say it is never going to change. Stop expecting it to

Those kids parents were probably in middle school the last time we made a Final Four. At this point Bibby and Jefferson are probably mythological figures.

I get it for people going because they can see the team for an affordable price who otherwise can’t go to many if any actual games. But why do people care so much about it being on PAC-12 network or streamed? We had exhibition games streamed and more will be televised soon. Why the demand for a practice?
Because we are real fans?
It is practice

Why don't you demand every practice ve televised?
Not every practice is the Red-Blue game you fucking twat.
Also too, the Red-Blue game is NOT a practice. It's a PEP RALLY.

And also too, it is now on Youtube.

I'm excited for Caleb. He's got a great chance this year to play a key role on a contender. We don't need him to shoot every time he touches the ball; he doesn't need to be senior year Gabe York. Just need him to execute what Tommy calls, make FTs and hit the good looks he gets.

Perimeter D, jumping passing lanes, fast break points, slashes to layups, getting fouled and hitting FTs is what I wanna see out of him.

Yikes. That's a mid major mentality there.
It sure is. That's what happens when a program goes decades without a Final Four. The anticipation and justification of failure. See Princeton 2023 NCAA tournament.

Some people just can't read the room, but refuse to speak solely for themselves.
Some people just have a tin ear, and confuse what they hear with what nuance is actually said.
Some people have thin skin, but profusely criticize others.

Let's see if Tommy can stay undefeated in Vegas this year!!
Yikes. That's a mid major mentality there.
It sure is. That's what happens when a program goes decades without a Final Four. The anticipation and justification of failure. See Princeton 2023 NCAA tournament.
I had this whole diatribe written out out about success and failure and kids and what is really important in life, but as hard as I tried I make it not sound petty, it did. I think any rebuttal to that statement probably would have.

So instead I'm gonna save everyone a bunch of time and just blow raspberries at you.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

I’d ask him to show us this supposed anticipation and justification of the Princeton loss but instead I’ll just anticipate whoever is behind that sock catching some kind of disease of the anus and I’ll justify that anticipation by reminding myself that the unhappy loser behind that sock has been a poopy skid mark on the virtual underwear of this website for years.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

We had a cool Captain Obvious at TOS who was actually funny, but here we are stuck with this tool.
We are the people our parents warned us about.

Best video of the Red/Blue game. I trust Lloyd. Arizona is going to be special, and it is because Tucson is basketball crazy. Strange coming from the west but it is true. Tucson is a basketball city (football is important too). We will make waves and we know it. I have other goals, but UA sports is near the top of the list. Looking forward to the rest of this season.

UA sports looks bright for the future.
