Just root for UC to win the natty instead. lol
Being in a conference with more than one national title challenger is not a bad problem to have. That being said... Cincy has a lot of work to do to get that early exit monkey off their back. Give the Shockers any lane at all in the NCAA tourney and we're going straight to the rack baby! It's gonna be awesome baby!

Except a lane with Kentucky in the way

It's going to be funny when WSU gets knocked out of the first round of the NCAA by Radford.
We aren’t Cincy. Or the rest of the AAC minus UCONN for that matter.

A WSU fan responds with a simple “it might be a tad too early for that kind of talk”, every national publication has Temple slotted 5th-7th, and that’s what sends you into a tizzy?
Good Lord, you need to change out the Depends a little more frequently.
"I think we make a lot of noise this year and might even make a run for the AAC title."
That's what I had the audacity to say. Shockers posters couldn't let that one ride for 5 minutes without getting their baby-powder all up in a cloud.
Pipe yourself down and spare us the national publication citations. And re-read the thread objectively to see where the antagonism started.
-Stay powder-fresh, boys.
I guess you didn’t realize in your “hot take” moment how homeriffic your statement was. 20 minutes into a game against Old Dominion, none the less. And you nearly got burned.
Maybe there wouldn’t have been such a quick response if your take wasn’t so far out there. Because like it or not in your homer glasses, it’s out there.
OK, genius. My post was at 1:28
Game started at 2:00 pm
It wasn't a "hot take." It was a pre-season prediction.
When you get your credibility back, we'll talk.
Thanks for pointing that out. That makes it even worse.

We get it, not much to do in Kansas but stir the message board.

Oh, they do as well, but typically AFTER something else has been said... Also, they don't drone on like their team is the next coming of the '91 Running Rebels, which of course we all know is the best team ever! (sarcasm)

Louisville is a great city. I was just in town 2 weeks ago to play a show at Mag Bar. 4 AM bars... y’all are wild.

Temple last won the AAC regular season title in 2016. When was the last time the Shockers won the AAC?
Get a season under your belt before you consider yourselves league experts.
In any event, the AAC is going to have their hands full with Temple this season.
Dude, really? Are you really dangling as proof of your awesomeness your AAC title in 2016? The same year we beat Vanderbilt by 20 and Arizona by 10 in the NCAA tournament and you lost to Iowa in the first round? We don't need to have spent a year in the league to know anything about it. We know what it takes to beat quality opponents.
This is a quality conference with many quality teams. One of them is yours. Like I said, I expect Temple to surprise a lot of people and probably make the NCAA tournament. That's a compliment. But there's two top 15 teams, as well as another team that soon may be in the top 25 (SMU), that will have a lot to say as to whether you can win this conference.

Wichita, Kansas. The land of the disproportionate response.

Those are the ones everybody references for every school.
