Around SBN: Maryland Fails First Test, Falls to Cincinnati

Where do we go from here? I found this and it seemed pertinent.

"Catastrophe strikes and a person’s world falls apart. People respond variously, but two of the more common responses are denial and despair. Denial refuses to acknowledge the catastrophe. It shuts its eyes tight or looks the other way; it manages to act as if everything is going to be just fine; it takes refuge in distractions and lies and fantasies. Despair is paralyzed by the catastrophe and accepts it as the end of the world. It is unwilling to do anything, concluding that life for all intents and purposes is over. Despair listlessly closes its eyes to a world in which all the color has drained out, a world gone dead."

 

Obviously the All-American response is to "pick ourselves up by our bootstraps" and move forward. However, in a team sport everyone must be on board with "the plan". I just don't see that right now. We are currently in one of the two places described above.

 

What do you think?

Denial

There’s where UK team and coaches seem to be.

Although I don’t see any catastrophe (like 1950’s point shaving scandals or 1980’s NCAA cheating) at UK right now.

I just see 2 very subpar years of basketball results following 2 slightly better years.

River And 7-10

I thought de nile was a river in Egypt and de spare was a pickup of the 7-10 split.

Not Lately

The Gillispie Gang is in complete state of denial.

This seems appropriate

I like important stuff just as much as the next guy, but please, for a little while, deliver us from meaning, baseball. That's your greatest glory, and we thank you for it very, very much. -- Craig Calcaterra
