They really are, arent' they? 

Not sure how the front office could fumble things so poorly. A masterclass in how not to get things done.

I remember being right in the thick of the tourney around St. Patrick's Day.
I assumed the conference tourneys were happening this past weekend, not this upcoming one.

Pretty much the same as it always was. It always starts right around my birthday and my Bday just happens to fall next Thursday.

There are lower conference tourneys that always happen the week before the power conferences do.

Less than an hour til kickoff

We all have our opinions of what the team should do and how it should be ran.

It's ok for people to get frustrated or apathetic if the team doesn't do something to their liking.

It'd be one thing if the team was turning around and still making the playoffs and getting at least one playoff win each of the past two seasons, but up to this point, we've seen a decline since 2022.

Without seeing these coaches and new players in action yet, it's hard to say with confidence they will be better than the previous 2 years.

Go easy broham. Eric only has 2 gears; Tee Higgins is always injured and no one knows what anyone is saying or thinking. 

Makes me wonder why he bothers to post on a message board that's designed for discussion on a myriad of things, including speculation.

They had 3 objectives prior to beginning free agency.

And they failed in all 3 of those objectives.

Expecting even a single positive thing from them is unrealistic at this point.

I'm right there with you. I'm trying to stay positive but WOW is it hard.

lol. I was just thinking the other day...how great it would be to have a final 4 of Ky and SJU on one side and Duke and Auburn on the other. 

Have an instant classic where the cats beat Rick, then Duke beats Auburn in double or triple overtime, then the Cats take it home against the despicable, hated dookies on Monday night.

Ahhhh, to dream...

Here's hoping.

Twitter seems to have crashed.

At least for me.

I wonder if the two events are related.

Is it a hacker or is it a traffic volume issue?

Never seen a traffic volume issue on FA day before.

For Bengals fans it is a day/week of high anxiety so make sure you are ready.  The must haves include

1) bottle of antacids
2) bottle of Tylenol
3) adult beverage of your choice
4) Xanax
5) and of course, that smidgen of hope that will quickly be doused when the FO does something stupid (er) than they already have

Not your first time aye?   Spot on!
