I've never seen a person argue for the sake of arguing so often.

I'm not sold on Wichita State just yet.
They just brought in a million freshmen and lost 4 of their top 7 players. They could be great or just good enough to make the tourney. I think with Vanvleet, Baker and Cotton they'll have an amazing back court but after that their best inside player as of right now is 6'7 and averaged 7 ppg and 4.5 rpg.
Win or lose we have 9 players on the team that didn't play last season and 2 in King and Iverson who didn't play much.
We have a lot of question marks. Im excited to see it play out.

Yep, and I think Wichita will beat us convincingly.

Well, that would be terrible. I could easily understand a hard-fought loss, even if their superior and experienced backcourt eventually takes over for a comfortable win. In fact, that's probably expected considering they are (on paper) the better team.
But if we fly across the country just to get our face kicked in by 20+ points on national television, then I will certainly start grumbling again, as will the entire city.
There's entirely too much talent on this squad, especially with Shaq, Austin, King and Johnson, to just lay down and die.
I'm hoping that defeatist attitude all graduated last season.

The self loathing of Memphis continues. Some of the fanbase needs an attitude makeover.

Some of them need to look up the definition of realism.

Never even gave my expectations for the season. I expect for this team to be competitive from start to finish and not lay down for anyone. I expect us to lose to the Shockers but not get humiliated on national tv like some predict. We aren't exactly throwing D2 level players out there.

We have the talent for sure, and I hope we play hard and disciplined. Teams like WSU give us fits from past experiences.
I would be pleasantly surprised.

Agree. I don't think the Wichita game will tell us anything, other than how far we have to go, b/c we only have 2 returning starters, and 2 other players from last season. It will likely take us a while to reach whatever potential we have.

The Tigers, by action, will soon make a statement about their prospects this season.

My first post was a legitimate basketball post about this new preseason prediction article with actual information and a counter point to his worthless ECU self deprecating "joke". There was nothing wrong with my post and the fact he got piss and all riled when he's spitting out worthless onliner crap..
Then you get cats like you piling on with more worthless garbage like this and just as culpable if not more so than myself or anything I've said Basically do you want to talk basketball like I was doing or do you want crap like this post of yours to farther derail the thread, because thats what YOU guys are doing.
There is nothing unreasonable posted on this thread, there are only 3 friggen basketball threads active on here, of course if you are a fan you are going to post in them, and the one that got people pissed off last week was ridiculous and not my fault, even the UNCC fan agreed. Guys like you and blunderbuss are just out looking to *****. I mean is this a sports message board where we talk actual sports? Not ***** and moan actually talk about something related to the topic.
I am not out there looking to do anything. However, you continuously act like a ******* on EVERY board you are on. I can only hope you are not as obnoxious in real life. You post a lot of factual stuff, but you follow it up with copious amounts of pissing matches based on your opinion under the guise of fact and thus completely derail any chance you had at putting together a cogent argument. The irony of you saying someone else is derailing a thread is hysterical by the way. Anyways...keep doing what you do SJ/Ory
This thread, like your first one about cats or whatever added nothing to this board, farther derails it, and the fact you can't see it is hysterical. Keep doing what you do troll.
