[Van Hagar]

In terms of NCAA tournament wins/losses, Oakland now has the identical record that Kentucky has for the past 5 years.

Jack Gohlke(who?) outperformed London's Golden Boy is the more salient point.

Since you folks could use a dose of harsh reality mixed with some brutal honesty, I'm gonna be politically incorrect and speak to you the way all loving fathers around the state should be speaking to their Big Blue fan sons this morning. If you want to be primed for a deep March run, you can't be depending on guys who were raised on stories of Noah's Ark and Lot's wife(she was rather salty , anyways). Those type of kids might lead you to a revival meeting but not to a Final Four.

If you want to see a Final Four again, give Cal your blessing to go out aand recruit players who are just one misstep from a prison sentence. Antoine Walker and Boogie Cousins were pretty good when it mattered moat, weren't they? This team needed toughness and some nastiness and simply didn't have it to be a juggernaut like Oakland.

I love you man, but this is your worst take ever. What we need is someone that is not too stubborn to adapt to the changing ways of college basketball. Cal wants to win, I’m sure, but he wants to win his way only. That’s just not gonna cut it. The only two guys who showed up last night were Reeves and Mitchell. Our old transfer guys. That’s the new normal in college hoops. NIL has basically created an open free agent market, so no matter how many McDonald’s All-Americans you have on your roster, you’d better have some grizzled veterans to lead the way. Thugs or saints, it doesn’t matter. (And by the way, Reed’s mom would poke your eyes out on the basketball floor if that’s what it took to win, in case you were throwing a little shade his way.)
