Possibly the kids actually wants to received a valuable degree while playing college football? There are still kids out there like that. In which case he ends up at Notre Dame, where they graduate 98% of their players and the degree is highly sought after.

I abso-LUTE-ly disagree with Wilbur fan stating with absolute confidence, that Arizona ” WILL NOT collectively LEARN ” something from yesterday’s near hard court diaster!

Because, I infer that this Wilbur is bloody well SELLING THE Arizona Wildcat players short! And what I mean is, azWibur is QUESTIONING each team member’s HEART and SOUL!!

And this DECADES long Arizona Wildcat MCB fan won’t stoop to that LOW DOWN level!

Miller knows best and AG was wise to leave it at that. Eh.

Nonetheless, this was the abso-LUTE best ” winning ” scenario which could’ve fallen onto the Wildcat uni’s yesterday.

Because, for Arizona to be at the edge of the PAC-12 abyss and staring into utter the darkness of being not only major college hoopdom’s LAUGHING STOCK for the weekend. But the conference’s laughing stock squad de jure for the rest of the season. Say’s that these Wildcats still have some ” lives ” left in the Den. dUh.

Seriously though, Miller’s squad was VERY LUCKY to come away with a victory. And, I chalk it up to that old McKale MYSTIC. Yes. Well bloody yes, naturally.

By the way, Billy The Kid Donovan’s Gator squad lost at home yesterday and Florida happen to be a DOUBLE-DIGIT favorite. Akin to Miller’s squad. So, these unlikely happenings are par for the hardwood entering March Madness. Especially when a squad LOOKS past any opponent with the record of a Utah, for instance.

I’m going to offer another view of the Utah game and it will resemble Sean Miller’s in nothing. I must say that I don’t criticize our good coach for his views since this is precisely what the Wildcat Nation expects him to say. Fans are, for the most part chauvinistic and expect the team to run in a chauvinistic way (we are superior, and we should always play in a superior and dominating way, etc.) The chauvinistic ideology also doesn’t accept weakness in behavior especially when confronting rivals. The chauvinistic way doesn’t appreciate our humanity. Let us not forget that to be human is to err. To be human is also to have demons. What I mean by having demons is that both groups and individuals have internal struggles. Sean Miller came within a half an inch of calling the members of his team “cowards.” The team was heroic for sweeping the Bay Area teams and then came home to beat a very good Colorado team. It is human to drop your guard after such huge accomplishment. The team played ‘scared’, the coach said. Of course it looked scared – they didn’t want to disappoint so many people who were expecting a better performance. When you’re playing only 7 players, fatigue begins to take its toll. Our players, after only a few minutes into the game, began to fight a colossal struggle with their own demons, and, yes they did feel fear. But you know what, they overcame their own demons. This was more a game of defeating their dark side. This was not really a game of basketball they won, it was a game of overcoming the weaknesses in their own humanity and that to me is more heroic that winning the previous three games. I told you my vision of this game would be in diametric opposition to what the coach gave to the reporters. He knows well that we expect a chauvinistic answer. I think, that deep down Coach Miller is in complete agreement with my assessment, because he’s a smart person and a high caliber coach with few peers in the country, but he’s smart enough to give us the chauvinistic pill to take. What worries me is that the players will learn nothing from this experience because their coach is using a chauvinistic language to describe a non-chauvinistic experience from which very little of consequence can be learned and the players will never know just how heroic they were.

billygumbo — u r crazy to think that Miller, as a coach, is questionable! I will remember this quote when they win the championship in the very near future, and I will cut-and-paste this quote back in when they win. You watch, Miller is one of the best coaches around the country.

Larry Fedora is a high octane, high enthusiasm, offensive machine. UNC has a good chance of nabbing Davonte Neal. He will play right away and will have a chance to earn a degree from one of the higher insitutions in America.
