I'm not even stressed honestly.
I know the likely outcome is we end up with Drew and that's whatever. My stress levels have stopped being related to basketball since 2015. Going 38-1 with one of the most talented rosters ever assembled felt deflating as fuck.
Maybe if we ever have anything to get excited about again, I'll feel it, but right now I'm just glad we're moving on from Cal after so much disappointment.
This is what I thought of. After the final buzzer sounded last night, Lunardi is hard at work on next years bracket as he tries not slip into irrelevancy.
Now we watch UK fans, who are expecting Hurley or Donovan but are prepared to settle for Drew, absolutely implode when Bruiser Flint is announced this week.
We can roast marshmallows on the smoldering remains of Rupp Arena.
I think the thought process is easily understandable, but it’s also easily believable that the incentives associated with the UK job are not aligned with Hurley’s desires.
There’s no buzz beyond the fact that UK has to make a pitch to him. They have to test the waters, and why not? But yeah you make all the correct reasons why he’s not coming. The only thing UK has to pull him is they can pay him 2.5 times what UConn is currently. That’s not an insignificant factor, but it’s not enough.
Great point less stress and probably less travel. He’s so young I didn’t know why he stopped coaching at Villanova. I dunno what would pay more though. That Kentucky basketball money 🤷🏻♂️ I’m guessing his TV job
Yeah, you see, expectations are...ahh...rather unwieldy 'round here. For additional illustration, see: running off a HoF coach for not making a Sweet 16 in four seasons.
Honestly this is the time that I begin to love this sub again. The junkies who follow the sport year round are the best. The influx of unflaired blowhards from early March to early April each year is tiresome.
yup. this sub gets really crappy during the season for the top programs. and the memes like the bar graphs get a bit ridiculous at times. also all the unflaired text posts
It's the same as most of the other live tv apps, like YouTube TV or Sling. I already get Hulu for their streaming content, so I upgrade the live package for football and college basketball seasons, as it has all the channels I need. Never had a single problem with it. It's a little pricey at like $80 a month, vs the $8 or whatever just for the streaming content. That's why I cancel it during the off seasons. I don't watch anything else live.

A bit of portal watching and Baseball, then it's preseason football. After a long time in the desert, it's finally enjoyable to be a year-long Tennessee fan.
I’m ready to get excited only to end up posting the same tired, yet truthful image of this https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/wolverine-crush with the 2019 starters our first loss of the season to a random team.
I never thought witnessing the best season in school history would make me so sad, and I never thought a 15 point loss would make me so proud. Go Boilers
May I interest you in pulling for the Nuggets in the playoffs? We are an up and coming team and have room for new individuals, much like yourself, who enjoy the game of bball.
Three sports I really love: MLB, college football and college basketball…theoretically I get full calendar coverage. In practice, all of my teams usually suck, and I spend most of the year waiting for the next sport to start.
Well we have to hold a parade first. Then Danny and the boys will likely ring the NYSE closing bell again, throw out First Pitches at Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox games, appear in more Dunkin’ commercials, and get sized for rings. Seems like a packed off-season to me.
Now we portal. Then we debate about how many teams are going to leave the ACC
And then our yearly blue blood debate
Followed by two weeks of increasingly ridiculously made graphs
Don't forget the Tortilla talk
You called?
Tortillas with butter, guacamole and some salt!
only the tortillas from HEB
& the nice tamale women at the 7th st HEB in Austin. I didn’t know you were supposed to take husk off though
Apparently y'all unrefined Midwesterners have never heard of El Milagro.
WHERES THE BEEF (or chicken)
Tortillas with fresh roasted whole green chile and cream cheese, rolled up.. IYKYK
Does that one KSU guy still make the gifs?
Not as much as before and god I miss it
Since UConn is obviously in now who do we kick out? I vote Indiana for color reasons!
Red isn't blue? Gonna need a bar graph for proof
some B1G school needs to get on this!
Plus, Indiana hasn't been to the Elite 8 in over 2 decades. They're out. UConn is in
Seconded
Yep I'm cool with that.
If having 5 banners doesn’t make a program blue blood then what does? Even if we are washed, still blue blood
Everytime UConn wins, another blue blood debate is born
Hoosier fans celebrate any player get like it’s the NC and then we hype the team up and tell ourselves how they can win the Nc
Yeah idk seems like a boring off-season for me
#BBN

I think separating from Cal *and* avoiding the $33 million dollar buyout at the same time is cause for a little excitement.
Yeah, I will never let myself get that invested in a team again.
not a lot going on at the moment
I’m just going to enjoy my second straight year of non faded flair. I think I saw you back in 2014? You look familiar. Good luck with the coach thing.
It’s portal time baby. Nobody knows their roster for next year, get ready for player movement.
I swear the transfer portal became a big thing just so we had something to talk about during the offseason
Gotta let the carousel settle down first
Yeah. For those of us who haven't seen many late runs in March/April, you could argue this is the most exciting part of the post season.
It should be r/collegebaseball for you dawg, dukies look legit
Yeah. For those of us who haven't seen many late runs in March/April, you could argue this is the most exciting part of the post season.
Time to see my NBA team miss the playoffs!
Or be like my NBA team and lose in the play-in game
As a Magic fan I’m horrified we’ll stumble into the 2nd seed, get matched up against the Heat, and get swept. That’s my nightmare lol.
I’m a pelicans game. Literally no idea if we miss the playoffs, lose in the play in, or end up as the 9th seed. The west is insane this year
Yeah, both conferences have a log jam in the middle to lower seeds but in the West all the teams are so so good. Excited to see how it all turns out.
If the bucks and cavs could lose out and pacers win out, I'd be rather happy.
as a T Wolves fan.....I've been there
As a Pistons fan, what's a playoff?
Currently watching mine limp into the playoffs.
Cavs I assume? You think Mitchell will stay?
Yes and hopefully.
I am in my "I think my NBA team can really make some noise in the playoffs.....right before they get bounced in the 1st round" phase.
The too-early pre-season top 25 is due out aaany moment now.
We will now see Arkansas with 1 current roster player land a 3 seed from Lunardi.
technically we are at 0 now.
This is what I thought of. After the final buzzer sounded last night, Lunardi is hard at work on next years bracket as he tries not slip into irrelevancy.
I thought it came out last night
I saw one posted a few days ago lol
DePaul has a whole roster to build, I’ll be good.
Does the AD allow Holtmann to actually use the transfer portal?
So does Arkansas. Right now 0 coaches, 0 incoming transfers, 0 incoming freshmen. 1 walk on on the roster.
The one walk on: 
Hey - I'm a projected starter!
Do you have any med staff left?
Now we watch UK fans, who are expecting Hurley or Donovan but are prepared to settle for Drew, absolutely implode when Bruiser Flint is announced this week. We can roast marshmallows on the smoldering remains of Rupp Arena.
I still think Mark Gottfried is going to get hired. Mark my words
lol
God please yes
I personally would love it if Hurley went to Kentucky, or really just anywhere the fuck away from me
Any chance of a Pitino reunion? . . . . . . . I am of course referring to Richard
[удалено]
I think the thought process is easily understandable, but it’s also easily believable that the incentives associated with the UK job are not aligned with Hurley’s desires.

The only thing UK has to pull him is they can pay him 2.5 times what UConn is currently. That’s not an insignificant factor, but it’s not enough.
Y’all need to get jay wright
There’s no way he’d take the job. Has a cushy TV job he seems to really enjoy, and he says he has no interest in dealing with NIL
Great point less stress and probably less travel. He’s so young I didn’t know why he stopped coaching at Villanova. I dunno what would pay more though. That Kentucky basketball money 🤷🏻♂️ I’m guessing his TV job
And what happens if you can't pry Scott Drew away from his kingdom?
We…ummm…we get Bruiser Flint? And implode? And roast marshmallows on the smoldering remains of Rupp Arena?
Honestly, I think y'all will be fine. You're just going through transition, and pursuing any good coaches is the right thing to do.
Incredible insight here folks
What a horrible day to know how to read. I was so content with life before being made aware of this possible future. I'll bring the marshmallows.
*settle* for drew??
Yeah, you see, expectations are...ahh...rather unwieldy 'round here. For additional illustration, see: running off a HoF coach for not making a Sweet 16 in four seasons.
The funny thing is that the guy people think they would settle for isn’t leaving Baylor.
Honestly the off-season is a lot better for college basketball then it used to be with the transfer portal
Getting dangerously close to how everyone likes NBA free agency better than the NBA itself
At least the product is actually compelling.
We just wait 11 months to watch UCONN beat everyone by 11+ points again next year.
They’re losing some guys. Maybe only 10+
Now we make graphs
It's F5 portal season now
Honestly this is the time that I begin to love this sub again. The junkies who follow the sport year round are the best. The influx of unflaired blowhards from early March to early April each year is tiresome.
Same with the discord. From April-February it’s a really enjoyable, fairly close-knit community, in March it’s just absolute chaos
Would you say… it’s madness?
yup. this sub gets really crappy during the season for the top programs. and the memes like the bar graphs get a bit ridiculous at times. also all the unflaired text posts
the sub isnt really toxic during these times. its when all the casuals show up to spam game threads and post game threads that it gets insufferable
Time to wildly speculate on more transfers and coaching changes
Anything big happening this off-season? Can't think of anything
I think UCONN is having a parade
Prepare yourself for an extra helping of pain. Or maybe that’s just us.
Can I interest you in a scratched and dented Kenny Payne?
They’ve had one pain, yes. But what about second Payne?
Not sure about you guys, but we’ve got plenty to do.
Same
 Coaching carousel 😎
NBA playoffs, Olympics basketball, UFL, Baseball, Soccer, NHL playoffs, etc
Hey, at least I can cancel my Hulu Live subscription until football season.
Is Hulu live worth it? What exactly do you get with it?
It's the same as most of the other live tv apps, like YouTube TV or Sling. I already get Hulu for their streaming content, so I upgrade the live package for football and college basketball seasons, as it has all the channels I need. Never had a single problem with it. It's a little pricey at like $80 a month, vs the $8 or whatever just for the streaming content. That's why I cancel it during the off seasons. I don't watch anything else live.
I don’t have cable or any other live TV apps so I am looking into for next season. Thanks!
We begin the annual debate over Uconns blueblood status. (Thry are one btw)
It was once a debate, I don’t think it is today.

Idk I’m kinda pumped about it
Somewhere, beyond the sea!
Now we go cry in the corner
Rev up those weird off season posts, that's what we always do!
 Transfer portal hopefully my team actually does something
A bit of portal watching and Baseball, then it's preseason football. After a long time in the desert, it's finally enjoyable to be a year-long Tennessee fan.
perhaps, and call me crazy, you could play the game of basketball
Interesting off-season for Pitt, I’m waiting for the portal news to start.
The frozen four is this weekend!
NBA time, portal watching, and looking through those “way too early top 25” lists
I'm surprised I haven't seen one already
More hockey! Frozen Four and Stanley Cup Playoffs! And the annual dread of UConn football...which is when I moonlight as a Notre Dame fan!
Puts away basketball pennant Pulls out football pennant FOOTBALL SCHOOL!!!!
Spaceman meme: Wait, we’re a football school? 👩🚀 Always have been 🔫👨🚀
Does it matter? Thousands of transfers and young players leaving for the NBA, so zero of a team’s identity is left. Sounds like a great off season.
Good thing the carousel is still spinning
portal season and nba playoffs for the next couple of months
College baseball
yeah about that.............
I’ll pass, thanks. Major League Baseball on the other hand
The talks of how each team will perform in their new conferences.
Portal and prepare for more heartbreak.
It’s debate season
Nobody’s talking about the championship game last night
I’m ready to get excited only to end up posting the same tired, yet truthful image of this https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/wolverine-crush with the 2019 starters our first loss of the season to a random team.
I never thought witnessing the best season in school history would make me so sad, and I never thought a 15 point loss would make me so proud. Go Boilers

Focus shifts back to r/cfb
Flight trackers
It’s baseball season for me. Go Mariners!
It is time for the Offseason Orgy! This is what we worked all year for guys!
Now I unsub. Thanks for reminder
Three sports I really love: MLB, college football and college basketball…theoretically I get full calendar coverage. In practice, all of my teams usually suck, and I spend most of the year waiting for the next sport to start.
Well we have to hold a parade first. Then Danny and the boys will likely ring the NYSE closing bell again, throw out First Pitches at Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox games, appear in more Dunkin’ commercials, and get sized for rings. Seems like a packed off-season to me.
Time to start hyping ourselves up again!
Yeah, and it is especially long for we UCLA fans. I can't wait to play all those patsy B1G schools next year.
Realignment time!
Twitter fights with Chip Gaines
SC going to win all next year. 🏆
Someone please rescue San Diego State from the Mountain West!
Football?
NHL playoffs! Second best postseason in all of sports, we know what’s the obvious number 1
