In two years, we will all be talking about what a brilliant hire Underwood was or who our next coach should be. Let's wait and see.
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works!

What a great situation! Go buy a Miznoz sweatshirt, put it on and start parading your dog all over the Ramey's front yard. Hopefully, Fido drops one somewhere up near the porch. If he does, look around as if you are checking to see if anyone is watching and simply walk away. Wash, rinse, repeat several times daily.
Gotta help the home team!
Cuonzo Martin has been in the NCAA Tourney 3 of 10 years, exactly the same as Illinois.
Actually, Cuonzo has been to the tournament 3 times in 10 years. Only once at Mizzou, obviously. By comparison, Underwood has been to 4 tournaments in 5 years. So if the comparison is Cuonzo to Underwood -- rather than Cuonzo to Illinois (which we would all agree that Groce sucked) -- that's worth noting.
But yes, you are correct in that we overstate our success and understate the success of others. In that sense, we behave in a partisan, biased way.......like most sports fans.
There are some on this board (no need to name names....I think it's clear who, and it's not you from what I can tell) who peddle this notion that they alone represent objectivity amid the ignorant masses. The problem is, such people can take their devil's advocate schtick too far, and actually look foolish in their own right by going to extreme lengths to downplay successes we have and predict great doom and gloom. If somebody wants to be a pessimist, that's fine -- Lord knows there's precedent for why pessimism is warranted. But at least dispense with the notion that you're the lone intellectual radiating your revelatory light upon the mindless masses in need of truth.
At first glance, I thought this would be a vulture post, but no....unless it is a goat vulture!
Or any other rock n roll prior to the 1980s I suspect. Winwood rocks.

We’ve been talking down Cuonzo all year, despite the fact that he’s been the tournament a lot more than we have.

Questions :
How good is Feliz ?
Are we done with Ramey ?
many others I want to ask but I will hang up and wait for these answers first

Believe it or not S&C, at least I did not have you in mind. Enjoy your posts and your views- I think you take reasonable, thoughtful positions and don’t force your views on anyone or really demand that what you are saying is 100% truth to the exclusion of other viewpoints. Carry on.

Feliz, IMO, is kind of player now that most were expecting Lucas to be as an upperclassman.

Somewhere between decent bench depth and actually a good big piece.
How about Spencer Davis Group. "Gimme, Gimme some lovin'," C'mon,!Or any other rock n roll prior to the 1980s I suspect. Winwood rocks.

My fear is he turns out to be Ahmad Starks.

Tejon was our best defensive player.. that's the area in which he will be missed in my opinion.
Personally, I think the floor for Feliz is sadly, lower than what tejon would've given us. Hopefully he can be more of a scoring threat, though tejon became moderately lethal around the rim last year. Tejon probably gets a plus in the D category but the assist numbers Feliz put up are impressive.
Feliz will make more than five 3's this year and shoot better than 61% from the FT line.
