The Positive Gestapo is very real, especially on the premium board.
The PG will mock and/or personally attack anyone who has an opinion that doesn't support the Baylor establishment. It's an obvious attempt to suppress any negative opinions. It starts with attacks and then goes to childish memes and gifs then moves to knuckleheads who high five each other for winning the internet by intentionally "bullying and triggering" those with legitimate points. There is very little debate on the point once the attacks begin. It's purposeful. Ironically they think this is somehow funny?? I assume it's mostly people directly associated with Baylor (not just an alum) with some die hard old school baptists.
It pisses me off but I care about Baylor sports and I don't back down to bullies so it is what it is. I try not to pick fights but it happens to someone on almost every thread on premium.

No one took issue with your post here because it was critical. The issue was that it was critical of a major strength of this team.
If you had worded your post better and made the distinction that you were talking only about yesterday's game, no one would have jumped on you. But without that distinction, the post was looked reactionary and ill-informed. You've clarified. I think most have accepted it. All is well.
Let's shoot better this week against BYU.
This coming from a guy who just complained about other posters attacking him, huh?JP1037 said:bear2be2 said:This isn't the premium board. And as best I can tell, none of the regular posters here are irrationally positive or dismissive of reasonable critique.JP1037 said:

You are a know it all condescending dick. On a regular basis.
I've felt all year like this is a good team with a great ceiling. Hopefully we'll make it there by March. I really like the pieces. We'll just have to see how all those pieces continue to come together over the course of league play.MattyIce said:
Good teams win, great team cover…
This is a great team
The one downside of the national championship is that that became the team by which all others are compared/judged. Spoiler alert: This team isn't as good.Stefano DiMera said:
And based on your ridiculous post there is def a Negative Gestapo.
See how that works both ways?
I hate to tell ya ..were gonna have a few more losses from teams you didn't even mention (BYU..Iowa State.. Oklahoma for possibilities) in addition to Houston and Kansas...
And we will still be in the mix for the conference championship. This conference as it does every year will beat up on each other.
You and JP need to relax and enjoy the ride. Makes life a lot better.
I'm interested to see what Houston looks like once their schedule toughens up. They haven't been tested much, but the way they've dominated almost everyone they've played so far has been impressive.BUCANDOIT82 said:
No one else is as good as our National Championship Team…Which means we're part of the hunt.
I'm reserving judgment. They'll have a chance to prove exactly how good they are. But their KenPom profile is pretty damn impressive right now.BUCANDOIT82 said:

That doesn't mean you can't enjoy watching it compete and grow. I've had a lot of fun watching it do both so far this year.

They've still got Iowa State, TCU, Texas Tech, BYU, Kansas State and Texas this month. That's a pretty tough go in my book.historian said:
It's possible that houston won't be tested much until the end of the month. That's the way their schedule is. February will be brutal for them.

The one thing that can make up for a lack of pros is experience, and Houston's got a lot of that. Our 2021 team didn't have a single impact pro. Mitchell was a lottery pick, but he's seen his role shrink every season since he was drafted and will be lucky to secure a career as a journeyman defensive specialist at this point. And Jared Butler's been on three teams in three years as an end of-the-bench sub.Quinton said:
I believe they've been tied deep into the second half with all three of the decent teams they've played. Sampson runs a hyper efficient pace game. It effective against all but the higher talent, tough teams. Most college teams don't have both so it works.
They play well as a team but would be the first in history to be as good as metrics suggest without even one nba guy on their roster (no, Cryer isn't an nba player). Never happened before but there is a first time for everything.
Covid year with portal would make sense as the time to pull it off. But even still 21,22, and 23 champs all had multiple pros

Agreed. They look really good but without being challenged much. We shall see.

Houston will likely learn quickly that the Big 12 isn't the AAC. You've got to show up every night in this league.
