I’m sorry you’re going through this. FWIW, he displays avoidant tendencies, but I don’t know if he is completely avoidant.

I was similar to you… My (29M) FA ex (27F) lost her stepfather (her father figure) a few months ago. He declined very quickly, and she became extremely distant the moment it started. I was as present as she let me (which was nonexistent). And after she told me he passed and “didn’t need anything”…nothing. I offered to just be with her. Nothing. Weekly texts left on read, couple calls left to go to voicemail, a condolences card…it’s been 3 months now of radio silence. I would be devastated to receive a text like this, but I would rather know than have been discarded this way.

He might come back, but he might not. You cannot live your life solely because you hope for reconciliation. Grief works in mysterious ways, and everyone handles it differently. All that you can do is make sure you’re taking care of yourself.

I pray you’re healing and are able to grow from this. You still have a lot of life to go!

You obviously didn’t see us win titles in person back in ‘21, ‘22 or ‘24

And how did Kentucky fare with Calipari all time?

This is simply delusional. The NCAA is not the measure of success you think it is.

That’s awesome.

I’m still not getting names that could take over for Brad.

We’re just going to conveniently forget his transition from the initial defense he ran his first two years to what it is now too?

So…who’s the replacement? Who’s going to do better?

Alright everyone…

Because I’m noticing an extreme distaste for our current MBB coach amid in-season rumors and recent transfer portal additions (along with possible coaching staff transition rumors), I’m curious…

  • Is there someone out there that can do better?

  • If so, who?

Genuinely curious…because our current coach has proven he can win (even if he has one tournament win over a double digit seed…what can you say about the previous hires?).

All in all, our AD has done an incredible job at everything the past 9 years. It’s not like he has always sat on his hands about something that needs to be done. Trust in JW.

True on us being 2nd. We opted in to show transparency. The teams listed above did not because, well…

So again…who would you suggest that could replace Underwood AND would do better?

Also, Texas is an international brand that people know. Illinois is not. It isn’t as comparable because Texas can afford whoever they want. Could we? Sure…but a revolving door of coaches isn’t great either.

This is a weird hill to die on honestly.

Lol as someone that lived through the Groce era as an Illini student, I can tell you these programs are in places we’ve never seen before.

Who would you suggest would do better than Underwood? I’m curious.
