Pretty much not gold- is it?
So therefore an Olympic Silver Medalist is a failure?
Are companies 2-500 on the Fortune 500 failures?
You do know doubling and tripling down on a dumb toxic take is a choice right?

How pathetic is it that someone who wasnât in the competition is popping off about the ones who laid it all out on the court and calling them losers because they didnât win âgoldâ.

So I guess the answer to my initial question is now confirmed. Youâve never actually competed for anything of great substanceâŠon any athletic court/field/etc⊠in your life.
ButâŠyouâre a âcompetitorâ, and thus qualified to call Sampson and the 2024-25 MBB team âfirst losersâ.
Thatâs some grade-A message board stuff, there.
I suspect that youâve probably âearnedâ more than your share of âparticipation ribbonsâ throughout your life. I also suspect that youâve never once considered yourself to be a âloserâ, in large part because that trait comes part-in-parcel with the personality type.

I mean we invested and gave the basketball team lots of resources, facilities, and upgrades the past 10 years.
You canât say this for many other programs the past 10 years in CBB.
A new arena
A new practice facility
Jordan brand sponsorship
Big 12 conference from AAC
5 star recruits
Multiple seasons of sellouts
NIL deals
Billionaire donor
Hiring his whole family
Home court advantage in the Final Four
Lmao, I have been going to games before CKS got here.
lol CKS is responsible for at least 7 of those things.

A new arena Who do you think pushed UH to do this?
A new practice facility Sampson
Jordan brand sponsorship UH had nothing to do with this. Jordan called the Sampsonâs and offered this because of the success of the program.
Big 12 conference from AAC UH basketball was a big reason why UH was added. Plus Tillman.
5 star recruits 100% Sampson
Multiple seasons of sellouts Our fans only show up if a program is winning. Sampson
NIL deals A result of a winning program
Billionaire donor Tillman. The average UH fan didnât contribute this.
Hiring his whole family What does this have to do with winning a championship?
Home court advantage in the Final Four Again, this fanbase only shows up if the team is winning and it took the national championship game to have possibly the largest crowd for a UH basketball game ever (other than the UCLA game)

You act like CKS put money out of his pocket for all of that.

We have good, not great resources but we are a great, not good program. Thatâs all thanks to Sampson.

At some point, you know, you are not arguing with someone rational. Hopefully, you got that by now.
The Cougars have appeared in 26 NCAA tournaments. Their combined record is 45â31. They have made seven appearances in the Final Four of the tournament, which is the most of any team who has not won a national championship. Is that ârationalâ enough for you? How come we donât have 7 âAlmost Won Itâ banners? You guys can throw money in for them!
Oh Iâm well aware. I just enjoy dunking on him.

What is your point? Evceryone here is well aware of our record and how many Final Fours weâve been to. We all want to the program to win a National Championship. Coach, staff, players and adminstration want to win A National Championship. What does that have to do with apparently having ânothing to celebrateâ from this season according to you?
