    You don’t care about having a conversation. There is plenty to criticize despite the win. I’m remembering how you’re a sunshine pumper.

    thats not a counterpoint.

    its objectively true that the goal is not improvement but wins. again, you can go winless and improve every game. thats called utter failure. you could get worse every time out and go undefeated, thats called success.

    the goal of the game is to win. winning is the metric to care about.

    I was happy but not surprised with the win. I agree we can win with defense; we have so much defense our defense is our best offense (and it isn’t close). I’m guessing WW recognizes this.

    Efton being a threat from three is a great joke.

    team is 13-1.

    team leads SEC in win over last 3 years. only team to get double bye all those years.

    the most important rankings are the NET. LSU is 5.

    i think a more accurate term that "sunshine pumper" is "facts distributor"

    It’s generally accepted that most teams improve as the season goes on; if you improve less than the average, you are regressing.

    Our defense may be so far ahead that we can win a NC with no improvement. But I’m not sure our defense is good enough to beat AU 5 times out of 10.

    when our leader in plus/minus and minutes is not out, and every player except for days/pinson is no longer playing their first game in a full and hostile arena, things might be different.

    auburn is a great team, with a possible top overall draft pick, a final four candidate. that they beat us once is not something to freak out over.

    college basketball teams dont go undefeated. juggernauts go like 26-3 and lose sometimes to worse teams than auburn.

    doesnt matter if you regress or ingress or buttress, goal is wins.

    My goal is dominant and consistent wins against good teams.

    You must have loved Miles, he won a lot of games. I criticized the hell out of that guy.
