My favorite thing about this is the posters who are like "youre nuts for believing theyre out to get UK!".. yet how many times do they have to say that to themselves before they start believing it?

In just one week, in a dead off season, we've seen Dickie V take a completely unprovoked shot at us, then have to back track it, and now they randomly and with out much reason, drop our highest recruit 6 spots.

I dont want to believe that the NCAA/ESPN has it out for Kentucky, either. But the evidence these last 15 years is insurmountable.

I really don’t think it’s debatable or a Theory. The media doesn’t like Kentucky. Adolf was a racist you know, even though we were the first to integrate the SEC in both sports. Truth is optional when you have an agenda.

Well, Adolf was a racist. Hopefully we can all agree on that.

Adolph Rupp, on the other hand, likely was not nearly as racist as some have alleged.

Does any other schools have major refs who literally are banned for calling their games? I mean we have 4-5 right now who are easily as bad as the roofer and I wish they would get banned too. I don’t recall seeing games where UConn or Duke had one ref who blew the whistle 35 times in a game and 32 were on them.

The games that bother me are the ones like the UK vs Clemson game 2years ago. Clemson played a VERY physical style of basketball. Nothing wrong with that but you should have to pay a little price for that.

They did not have to. Only 15 fouls on them. 5 fewer than UK. They also had no one with 4 fouls. Oweh and Butler both had 4.

Yeah I remember that game. That one dude bruising us inside and had like 20 rebounds.

And that’s a bad thing how? Hampton is the same player he was the day before this happened, right? In fact, if you assume that these recruiting service rankings cause some kids to feel like they have to be OAD or they’re a failure, couldn’t you argue that it would have been better for UK if Hampton was dropped below 100 in the rankings?

Huh....interesting. So 247 is saying 100% Duke and you're in here saying nope, they're wrong? Ok then.
247 is saying their crystal ball predictions are 100% for dook. And that is true. 1 dook prediction from a guy who works for the Wisconsin Badger site, means 100% of the crystal balls are for dook.


But it does not say he has committed anywhere. When a player commits there is simply a team graphic by their name, no percentages.
