Not sure if you’re joking or not, but would anyone be surprised? Especially if Cal leaves after next season. 

I was in jest but now that you mention it I wouldn’t be surprised

If Oats keeps it up you can bet UK will back up the truck for him. Cats can stand having a better coach than them in the SEC.

Fran Fraschilla is losing his mind over leg kicks on jump shots in this TCU game.

I could UK go for instant success and Bruce Pearl too. Would be a great fit.

Lil Archie’s Rams, up 3 with under 5 seconds left, foul on a 3 pt attempt. LaSalle hits all 3 and to OT we go

Iowa loss to eastern Illinois smashed their NET.  Iowa isn’t a bad team they just had a brain fart against a terrible team even if their best player was out.  
 

Iowa has a convincing win against Iowa st who is good.  They have neutral court win  against Clemson and road win at Seton Hall.   People can trash IU for losing to them on the road but that’s not a bad loss for IU 

Still no bad losses

No need to try and reason with the pitchfork mob.

At the end of the day people are entitled to their own opinion on what’s a bad loss or not or if they think a team is a bottom dweller crappy team.   I can only bring it from my point of view of why I disagree or agree.    Eastern Illinois is currently down 20 to Morehead st.    Iowa had a crappy forgettable game against them but for me Iowa is closer to the team that has beaten some quality teams than they are that lost to eastern.    Unfortunately for them they took that loss and had their numbers suffer from it.

If I were Oats I would stay at Alabama because he can win there and don't have the pressure he would going to UK

Last time I checked every team loses since 1976

So would this be considered as bad as a loss as ours in Iowa? Wisky getting thumped by a team the was in complete disarray just a few days ago!

From a bracketology side of things neither would be considered bad losses.  Both are Q1 losses for each team.     Conference road games are hard.

Take it FWIW.

Correct. But not every fanbase justifies their losses into apathy and mediocrity.
