Message: [QUOTE="The General, post: 193554, member: 1150"] Here's the problem. Who really cares about the final 8? It's nice, but not all that meaningful. I look at that '89 Illinois game and think, "damn we were so close to another final 4 and we had a great chance at winning it." Not, "that's great we made the final 8!" In the same way I look at the final 4. It's nice to make it. It's really an amazing accomplishment. But esp. this year, if we make the final 4? We should with the whole thing. We are good enough. And there is no dominant team like the '96 UK team that downed us. National Championship. And then I feel like I can go into anyone's house put my boots on their table and light a cigar. We'll have 2 and nobody can ever say s*** about anything we have or haven't done in the past. I like that feeling. [/QUOTE]
