Couldn’t be more wrong. Like pretty much every other Tempo meme, the “Tempo is in love with Shaka” meme is greatly exaggerated. Sure, like just about everyone else here 5 or so years ago, I drooled over the idea of him coming to Illinois. Shaka did a mediocre at best job at Texas, and I conceded that a long time ago. He’s probably more decent than good. I have no more interest in the Shaka debate. Haven’t for quite a long time.

And yet he still beat that cheating dumbfuck that yells at Black kids who Whitless extended who can't beat fucking Loyola that certain people here tell us is awesome.

I think I included everything.

Pass the ball, Curbelo. Stop hero balling.

Infuriating the way he was hogging the ball last night. Everybody just stood around and watched. Trent and Williams need to pull him aside and make it understood that's not the way to play. And Underwood needs to put him on the bench if he keeps this up. Yes, he's talented but he's got a lot to learn.

And having said all of the above, I’d still rather have Shaka Smart. Even if it has taken him a while to find real success at Texas.

Yeah, I said that. But it’s not a hill I’ve chosen to die on. It’s certainly one you guys have attempted to kill me on.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

I’d have taken Lorenzo Romar over John Groce, but we’re not having that debate too, are we?

And when I did say that, I don’t recall that comment even getting much if any debate. I tossed it in there. Since you guys are super sensitive about our coaches though, you guys have attempted to make a mountain out of a molehill. Per the norm.

If I were really pounding the table to have that debate, trust me, I’d have posted a lot more on it than just that one tossed in comment in a post from 8 months ago in which I praised Underwood.

And I’d be crowing about Marquette beating Illinois, but I’m not.

If I were itching to have this debate, I wouldn’t have waited 36 hours after the game to make my first post about it. And as I said, I’d be crowing about it. I’m not.

My position is that Shaka and Underwood are probably on the same tier or thereabouts. I’d prefer to have Shaka as the face of the program, but I’ll concede that’s a personal preference. Doesn’t make it right or wrong. And I’m not trying to make it a right or wrong argument. Over the last year or so, there’s been very little to criticize Underwood on (but he is a confirmed cheater).

I thought Shaka failed at TX because he wasn't good enough of a cheater?

Okay but Reggie Theus would kill it here.

Compared to Groce…maybe.
