To have over 65,000 downvotes and not even 1 single upvote is a record that will never be broken.  I’m on a record heater.

Congratulations.

Holy shit that’s funny. He’s not even exaggerating.

Another great thing about this site is the "karma" counter

I still am confused how I have -65,000 karma, and yet less than 1,000 posts.

Examples? I do recall people thinking Joe Bertrand was the next Oscar Robertson, but only because someone posted about Bertrand recently.

Sensible people argued that no, Joe Bertrand was not the next Oscar Robertson.

People try to come up with player comparisons in terms of style. We heard Joe Bertrand was 6-6 and supposedly a point guard.  I recall someone suggested he might be another Bardo.

I recall Bertrand was an athlete and he was very erratic, not like Bardo at all.

The Big O was a tall point guard before there were tall point guards. He was like Byrd. Good, not a great athlete. Very skilled, very consistent, fundamentally sound. Uncanny court vision.  Not a good comparison even if Bertrand had been a point guard; which he really was not.

But I'd guess someone was saying a Big O type tall point guard, not the next NBA super star. That is the only thing makes sense.

One of the outgoing transfers went to the WCC. Of course, the current team would be galactically better if he had just stayed.

BTW, the two categories with no votes are the most popular cult beliefs here: One of our absent posters is an encyclopedia, and all outgoing transfers are huge losses.

That strikes me as more of a Dom thing, although lots of TOS posters want Podz back. Thing is, he averages more shots per game for Santa Clara than Shannon does for Illinois. That said, given Goode's injury, Podz might've gotten some tick. But he would not be taking 14 shots per game.

Cool. Again, it's not the year 2000. Players can transfer, which sometimes keeps the bench from being 10 players deep. That's why it's silly to rend clothing about every outgoing transfer.
