IN SUMMARY....

[Swinesong1]

The almost unanimous cry on this board before the season:
"Get better on the road" - √
"Finish in top 3 in SEC" - √
"NCAA or bust" - √
"Recruit better" - √

Now all those goals have been reached!  So what does the pitchfork crowd do?
"Kentucky beat us badly tho"
"Too many close road wins"
"Season is a failure without at least one tourney win" (bar being moved).
"Yeah, but we'll be bad next year"
"We were out-rebounded"
"Win didn't look like a win should"
"We're lucky"
"The 2016 class is the important class"

Hilarious I tell ya!

[PonderinHog]

In summary, it ain't over!

[hobhog]

NCAA or bust is only one that matters to me. After first few conference games it looked bleak, but ended up strong. I admittedly was thinking MA was in trouble since NCAA didnt look likely, but am happy camper now.

Just get to the Madness and I am good. Period.

[Swinesong1]

In summary, it ain't over!

And I'm sure you're salivating in anticipation of next loss.

PonderinHog never revels in our losses. Not sure he is the example you want to use there

[TNhawgfan]

I also agree with your OP. We have met all criteria I was wanting to see going into this season. Win or loss Saturday, MA has done a great job this season

I been bein' good, dangit!     Swinesong tries to read too much into what people say, sometimes.

In summary, tell me something we didn't already know.

Ponderin reminds me of one of those kids in school the teacher would fuss at in class for not being serious but couldn't help but like. I've never taken any of his posts to be anti anything

Not into the whole labeling thingy. 

[The_Iceman]

There is a group on here that will be against Mike no matter what.

[ATLHog]

In Summary: NCAA has done hogs NO FAVORS in silly WEST region placement in Jacksonville. Just some quick stats:
Miles traveled: Hogs (1,010)  Tarheels (481)
Hmm...I wonder who'll have the fan base advantage on Saturday..?

[PonderinHog]

And I'm sure you're salivating in anticipation of next loss.

Our season, our season ain't over!  If you had said,"In the interim" I'd have no problem with your summary.

Would you rather the Hogs actually been sent West? Say, like California?

[PonderinHog]

Glad we got there cleared up, bud.   

[Swinesong1]

I apologize

[ATLHog]

I'd rather a lot of things- for starters, that the NCAA actually get out a MAP before deciding regional placement.

Seriously a few people here would grip even if we won the damn tournament.

look, I can't help it if my teachers had no sense of humor.  Not my fault.

It is because our fan base is mostly football lovin' racists like Ponderin.

It has been a great season, but a Sweet 16 defines a successful season for any team. So if we lose tomorrow I will be disappointed. NC is a team we can beat so if we play bad and lose it will suck. If we make it to the Sweet 16 that is a major accomplishment and respect will be given across the board. Next year ESPN announcers will plug in that this team made it to the Sweet 16 last year. Rarely do they announce a round of 32 team. With that said I want it all! Either way great season, really close to being an unbelievable season, a couple calls go our way, one more basket here or there and we finish in the top 10-15. Go Hogs! :razorback:

Well, what if we got out-rebounded in the process, did you think of that?

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Wait, Ponderin, what did you attempt to post? I'm at work and when I put it into my searchbar it was flagged for adult content.

EDIT: My workplace is just censoring the image. I can see it on my phone. I'm sorry, Ponderin. Anyone pleadin' the fif has nothing to hide.

[TNhawgfan]

Oh, so you want them to actually put some thought and time into these things. Come on man, they got better things to do...like spend 8 years investigating Syracuse

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Well, what if we got out-rebounded in the process, did you think of that?

What if this was compounded with Mike getting outcoached by not running any plays?

[elksnort]

Why bring up a thread like this?
What are you expecting?

[JonClaudeVanHam]

It's a whistleblower thread about Ponderinhog.

[TNhawgfan]

look, I can't help it if my teachers had no sense of humor.  Not my fault.

you didn't tell me you were a racist before I defended you, now I'm guilty by association. Do you kick dogs too?

[JonClaudeVanHam]

And cats. Baby cats. And babies.

This is more serious than I had originally thought...

I will leave it to you all then.

10-12 minutes before this is in Vents and Rumors.

[Dropkick]

It has been a successful season and Mike has done a great job (IMO). Its all gravy moving forward.

[snoblind]

Glad we got there cleared up, bud.   

Reeling them in even on the rare occasion when you aren't trying.  Nice work.

It's both a blessing and a curse.    I blame my teachers.

You realize they are the higher seed right? Not saying one seed difference equals 600 miles of travel difference, but the higher seed plays closer to home. There are only so many venues and it's not like we had to travel across the country to play.

Looking for any excuse I guess, but we'll take care of business against those dirty feet regardless of venue.

[snoblind]

Unacceptable.  Word on the street is congress and UN will be in special session about this.

In other news, O has ordered the FBI and CIA to investigate Pondering...

[phadedhawg]

Champions didn't get that way patting themselves on the back over their first accomplishment.  They strive to get better.

[Swinesong1]

Lol!  How did we get here?

[PonderinHog]

Well, I know for a fact that I was a mistake, so...
