Id just like an apology and for you to admit I was right
Didn't you say RU would be 5-15 in the B1G?? There were so many lines in the sand posts that I couldn't keep up.
Are you also saying RU isn't making the NCAAs this year??
Or was it that RU would be an annual "bubble" team??
None of them appear to be correct and the overwhelming item you were right on, was the caliber of recruiting would catch up to RU (kinda, but not really). Experienced depth is a concern for every program.

I said it once and I’ll say it again.
Mags ACL tear may easily be what saved your tubes from being snipped.
Nothing to be boasting about.

Calling it now. This will be an all-time classic post when RU beats Michigan to clinch the NCAAs. Kyk exposing himself yet again and this time in the most painful way possible
We are referring to getting robbed at gunpoint by the B1G at Ohio State and coughing up a 10 point lead at Minnesota in the last 2 minutes.
If I am standing firm counting on those 2 outliers being the "I was right" point of view, that's as flimsy as anything I've ever seen.
The program needs an upgrade in overall talent, but that's being clearly addressed. Recruiting higher caliber players, still requires coaching, development, buy-in and maintenance on the work-ethic culture this program was built on. It's extremely difficult to see where things aren't trending up for RU basketball since the 2019-20 season across the board. There are many other schools who cannot claim the last 4 years of success like RU has, it's not a 1-year wonder.
An off-year is allowed once in awhile. But I'm very proud and confident that RU is extending its winning ways for the foreseeable future. At the end of the day, what else can you ask for??
There was lot of premature celebration in that thread.
Congratulations all it took were the refs bundling the OSU game, a meltdown against Minny, and a Mag ACL tear. We were way closer to finishing in the top 5 than whatever the hell your 75 different predictions, all of which said we’d have a losing season, were
Why is everyone making me defend KYK after his terrible RHJ draft threads. I'm going to break out in hives.
Can't site the meltdown against Minny and not the PSU meltdown against us.
They cancel each other out for record purposes.
Where would we have finished if only the OSU outcome was swapped?

Wrong. I said 8-12 B1G play and 8-3 OOC in 2022-2023. See from the official @bac2therac Prediction thread.

Where I was right is that we wouldnt finish top 5, which is what the “snip snip” thread was made about.

Haha when I pointed to lack of depth would hurt us when we faced any injuries? I think you were a fool to not think wed deal with injuries. It is sports after all.

The bet just to clarify is that we wouldnt finish top 5 in B1G. Just for accuracy sake of course. Who was it that made the thread?

With this mindset we should also take the game winning 3’s vs NW and Purdue off the board as well as a 19 point comeback win, right? Silly.
And again, i agree off years are fine. This was always going to be an off year with how piss poor the talent was. Getting even on the bubble is a miracle.

My official preseason prediction was 16-15 8-12 in B1G play. But anyway, this is about the snip snip guy coming to take his medicine.

Where I love to site all of your ridiculous takes I will say the snip snip seemed to be top 5 finish so I will agree the snip snip OP should eat some crow...Having said that THIS thread would have been MUCH better had you not started to chicken out and come up for excuses to why you weren't going to snip when we were rolling...Last "Piss Poor" talent is another bad take...Way over the top and it's talent good enough to make the tourney and see what happens...People including you have to be patient and let the coaches show some results before the BIG FISH (Which are already coming now) start to sign up...Happening in B Ball and will eventually happen in Football once KC fixes this offense...This great rise from the ashes is about to really take off (Running the same offense he runs today with players that can score more consistently)...At that point I want you to site the offensive stats compared to the previous years and give PIKE credit...talk to you in a few years on that one...
Why would some be happy if their negative predictions about RU are realized ?If you love RU wouldn't you rather be wrong if it means RU succeeded.
Not sure about the happy part.
If I feel the teams I’m a fanatic of (there are 4 of them) but none more than RU.
Aren’t equipped to succeed I’m not happy, just right.
My next going nowhere is the star studded NY Rangers…it pains me to say it.

Be happy to do so. The issue here is even the slightest criticism of pike it met with the fire of 1,000 suns. Its taboo here to say hes not a good offensive coach which is just factually true
Honestly, I think @kyk1827 is such a good fan that he is posting this so that we beat Michigan tomorrow. It has been said that "no one died for dear old Rutgers," but maybe one of our loyal sons will sacrifice his vas deferens for RU instead.

Correct, would be happy to be wrong. Moreso just wanting people to eat some crow who called me everything they could for saying i didnt think wed finish top 5
You got lucky and you know it.
Congrats you squeaked by the skin of Mags ACL. I wouldn’t be boasting about this victory considering the circumstances.
Also we all know you wouldn’t have gotten snipped and just like the attention lol.
I don’t think many people would have had an issue if your take was simply that we wouldn’t finish top 5.
It’s that you bet a vascetomy on it.
Maybe don’t always be so extreme?

No shit i wouldnt get snipped haha. I said it as a figure of speech.
And again, it wouldnt have had to been mag. Had we lost a single starter we wouldve been in the same spot pretty much. Cliff it wouldve been realllllll bad though.
Guys we couldnt afford to lose
1) Cliff (no backup option)
2) Caleb
3) Mag
4) Spencer
5) Paul
you cant welch on one bet ($10K you owe @Caliknight ) and boast about winning another bet
you're just the worst man....

There was no bet here lol. Just a prediction that we wouldnt finish top 5
If you’re putting a vascetomy on the line then expect people to get on your case for what a dumb take it was.
No rational person would have stated that. Now you’re saying it was just a figure of speech lol.
You’re just supporting how stupid of a take it was actually. No idea why you try to act surprised when people call you out for your antics but in the end you just love the attention lol.

I pity the fools who are happy when we lose.
Not sure why you're gloating about RU not playing well of late. Sure sounds like a lame fan. Root for RU and Pike.

anyway this thread epitomizes why it's kinda dumb to make predictions on this board as all you do is hang yourself out to dry. Had we finished top 5 there would've been non-stop threads on how wrong I was. We don't finish top 5, not a peep. Silence. No one willing to eat their serving of crow.
When you're wrong on your predictions, people won't shut up about it on here. When you're right, silencio por favor.

To be clear kyk's post in the prediction thread was:
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
I should have bet him a vasectomy.

I still dont watch our team and walk away impressed with the D like i was in years prior (20-21 was unreal). I know metrics says were a good defensive team but when we need a stop vs a team with a pulse I dont have that much confidence in the team. Really lack athletes in the back court and they get cooked. We were definitely the beneficiary of teams missing wide open 3’s it seemed like alot this season
