    It wasn't bad under the circumstances, except for a few. Here's the one they were talking about when it was only 34-40 . . .


    Then jumping back on the bandwagon with us . . .

    You are a classy person. no doubt.
    Not kidding.
    Showing personal control when disappointed is the definition of class.
    He had two seasons at the top of the mountain.
    What about the thousands of “losers” badmouthing officials when they lost…and maybe lost their jobs also? Oh, they complained in private..not when millions are watching.
    Bad. No excuse can cover that.jmho.

    I'm excited. It's been too long on the hardwood to have some tournament success. Getting to the sweet 16 is sweet indeed.

    Imagine how some fans are going to be acting when we make the football playoffs.

    Yeah . . . but considering the game and how it was going the OGT was pretty normal, except for the 3-4-5 who never show up that showed up yesterday. If it was Swamp Gas and a play-off game in football it would have been . . . different. LOL! :)

    Game threads are places to vent, imho. I do it & try to leave emotions there.

    True, but at Auburn and Alabama I believe we were. We were also the favorite at South Carolina and Georgia where we played poorly.

    I think it depends on what you mean by "vent." Twitter and Facebook and other social media are for venting. These forums are for discussions. We discuss the games, the good and the bad, as it happens. Part of that is expressing emotions within the rules the owner established. I think all of us who have been around for awhile are on the same page.

    Absolutely. Vent means to release emotions. That's what happens in game threads. I believe you may be referring to a "rant" which is usually an unreasonable & angry burst of emotions. I don't rely on game threads for much insight.

    It's just the player. I've seen people in bound the ball and just let it roll toward mid court without picking it up so the clock won't start.

    At this point a lot of the game is the mental aspect. Having tournament experience is a huge help and I hope Golden's lack of it doesn't bite us in the ass.

    Nailed it. What a guy says behind closed doors is one thing.
    It's human to be disappointed in a loss and to lash out...
    But the comment to Baylor was low-class and childish...

    You'd think a 2-time NC winning coach would do better...

    He looks loose as a goose. I was concerned with that going in but nahh. Have you seen the footage of him in the locker room? He’s fine. Look, I mean of course I think we’re making it to the championship but at this point, win lose or draw he’s a winner (of sorts). Hes already set the record of being the first first timer in the tourney to be a #1 seed and he’s probably set the record for being the first first timer to be in the sweet 16 (edit) and at this point we gotta have faith in him. Hes friggen 39.
