Bandwagon Bama fan leaves for Georgia after Nicky retires. That’s pretty bad even by bandwagon front runner standards.

Both were transfer qbs not wanted by Michigan and VATech and neither was considered a quality product prior to UT. He managed to get both a rookie contract and into the national convo. Let’s see what round Nico goes and then we can call it. I always knew you were a casual with bad takes, but wow, found the Joe B1den SDS account.

You-the arm is the most important factor in the nfl Also you-the nfl may care less that Milton can throw it 80 yards. Drinking heavy on a Sunday is for godless losers

Seems like a natural fit for Baltimore given their history of hitting women. He could be the next Ray Rice

Don’t worry-UTjr isn’t serious about athletics and will fold and drop the series like they always do

We’re talking championship game viewership and I’ve included 100% of the instances where either USCjr or Clark played. Thats the full range of numerical evidence for championship games involving both and not a sample size extrapolated-learn basic stats. My argument was the “championship game with Staley but without Clark” and not greater viewership. Thus the stats to refute (which you’ve provided no numbers, only me), would need to involve championship games. I provided each number for Clark and Staley, not a sampling. You’ve provided nothing but moved the goalposts to make the argument about women’s basketball viewership as a whole. Still yet, with Caitlin Clark, viewership has exceeded records and the men’s game and that’s never happened with only Staley. Before Clark-all championship games drew 2-5m in the twenty year period leading up to 2022. Clark doubled 2022’s viewership in 2023. Thus, the variable isn’t start times or lead ins or anything but her being the all time points womens leader (which you’ll probably say isn’t true). You have provided ZERO datapoints that I can even refute. Zero. I’m done arguing your bad faith bs bc it’s your job to prove the variables you list made the jump in context of the championship games and you can’t provide numbers like I did. Also-you pivoted from saying Staley was as much a reason as Clark to “oh it’s just women’s basketball interest has increased”. Again the burden of proof is on you bc I’ve provided objective numbers and you haven’t. I see you’re dodging to point about Nick Saban being better than Kirby because Kirby was “perfect” more recently but Saban was perfect more times and had more titles-that’s the metrics that count and nobody would take Kirby over Saban if given the choice. Staley will be lucky to get as many rings as Pat Summitt, let alone Geno.

Great hire-couldn’t be happier.

Ahahahaha-now you got stomped with facts and you resort to ignoring data. 1. I didn’t deny she had a great undefeated season. I simply said she was excellent. Your argument here is really not enough genuflection for a feat other coaches have accomplished? UConn (Geno) has done this six times while UT/Baylor/Texas/USCjr have done it once. 2. The stats speak for themselves. Geno has a better record in titles, finals fours, and undefeated seasons. You’re literally ignoring facts like you’ve accused me of and simply arguing in bad faith. Your argument is literally that Kirby is a better coach than Saban because he won the more recent title. No one on even this site is stupid enough to make that argument but you. 3. It’s not base rate fallacy when I’m using multiple sample sizes from championship games and even one elite eight when we’re discussing, championship games and who brings more viewers. What variables are missing? You’re again making strawman arguments and now simply ignoring data. Show me missing variables, where Nielsen lied, or games where Staley beat Clark’s ratings in the tournament, I’ll wait because you can’t. I get a kick at how my facts and logic demolish you and you have zero logical response but have to resort to lying or making arguments like you do with Geno-that greater numbers or titles don’t matter. This has happened several times before with you-you resort to arguing in bad faith and lying because you have no facts or logic

1. I said she’s an excellent coach-try reading and again-making a strawman argument. 2. Geno has more titles (11) than Staley (3) and is the best active coach by record (.882) to Staley’s (.806 at USCjr and .767 overall). Those receipts work? 3. Per Nielsen, Staley drew 4.9M viewers in her 2022 championship game and 3.8M in 2019. Clark drew 10M in 2023 and 18.9M this year. Even without Staley in 2023, she drew over double the viewership. So yes, when I said Staley wouldn’t get half the viewership without Clark, it wasn’t hyperbole but facts per Nielsen, the preeminent ratings authority. Those receipts work? It gets better, her elite eight game vs LSWho drew 12.3M per AP news. That’s more viewership than Staley got in 2022 and 2019 COMBINED.

I believe the preferred statement Alabama athletics uses for situations like this is: “Wrong place, wrong time”.

You can compare tv ratings for games with Staley’s teams being the top team and no Caitlin Clark and the numbers (even in championship games) don’t eclipse some of the regular season Caitlin Clark games (like when she broke the scoring record). Those are objectively verifiable facts and not opinions. Clearly you don’t know the difference but every argument you make on here is a strawman derived from your ignorance and lack of educations, so that’s unsurprising.

Paul Harvey needs to change his name to not besmirch the good name of the famous radio commentator who actually performed good work. If he insists on sharing a name with a well-known journalist on his level of unethical reporting, I would suggest Nick Denton. I really hope this guy is an unpaid intern. Any level of salary for this incompetence is financial malpractice on the part of the management.

This is why I come to clickbait down south. The title of the article says “closing in” and the body of the article reads as though it’s probably. Then we get the last sentence where it says “At this point, it does not appear a deal is imminent, so there is still time for a twist or turn in the process.” That’s garbage journalism.

What evidence do you have the judge was biased? Looking for objective evidence apart from your personal opinion, which based on your lengthy posting history doesn’t amount to any level of credibility.

The brief written by the judge indicated otherwise

And you’re again proving my point for me. Your storied program has become a school where you’d be lucky to get your third choice in Drew (which isn’t a given, he hasn’t accepted and has indicated he intends to stay). Your fanbase thinks the state of SEC basketball is that of the last century, when you got 7 of those titles. It’s now a regular top 3 conference. The days of walkover wins in the conference and a rested team at the tournament aren’t coming back. As for the titles argument, UK has won 1 since 99. UConn has won 6. To the kids you’re recruiting, they’re the blue blood and UK isn’t.

You might want to check your parts of speech-the titles refers to UCLA having a better history than UK. Didn’t mention UTjr but what does it say that UK is now hoping to hire a coach from UTjr?

Which is my point. You UK fans thought you’d hire Oats, Hurley, Donovan, and now you’re trying to justify Shaka Smart. A school with UTjr’s basketball history should be hiring the likes of Smaka Shart, not UK. Instead, your overly high standards in a new era of competition in the SEC and the treatment of a guy who brought you a ring has put you on the same hiring path as a school that will never make a final four. You’re UT football in 2010 and you just don’t recognize it. The hard times have only started.

Whiteknighting for Connor is even more sad than his comment.

Little Connor won’t even open the comment section, much less comment. All brackets competitions I’ve been in had at least 1/3 pick UConn so this isn’t some wild prediction. Nobody else was close in talent and consistency.

Any more rent free and I’m getting squatter’s rights ;)

Amazing how ineffective Purdue looks when fouls are called in a manner consistent with the rules of basketball. Huskies made it look easy.

If you pretend to be UCLA maybe Rick would be an option. Need a few more titles though.

Second most titles in NCAA and you’re now hoping for Smaka Shart? It’s pretty much Donovan or bust now that the Glock salesman in Tuscaloosa said no.

Having s3x in a restaurant isn’t baggage-it’s an alpha move.

Did he feel UK is the “wrong place, wrong time” or is that sentiment exclusive to murd3rs his players are involved in?

Option 1 is 3 of 8 vs Rick Barnes. I think he generally had higher ranked rosters as well, but would need to confirm.

Third choice accepted Mr Yurachek’s offer.

While Staley is an excellent coach, Clark is driving the ratings. The numbers without Clark in this game wouldn’t be half of what Clark brings. The article should reflect that fact. There’s a reason why the author only mentions SC game attendance records and not tv numbers, which is the greater point of who is influential and to what degree.

Could we do a similar article of the best regular season teams of the 21st century so us UTjr fans get a chance to participate in the discussion?
