Personally I'm waiting for this:


I sure hope so, but I'm not as sure about resurrection of the empire, since this last time it crumbled on our first game.
When the foundation goes, so goes the castle.

This team has no identity. They flop around on the court like fish out of water. Hard to watch.

It is not their fault, there are sharks in our waters.
If fish jump out of water, they die. if they don't they get eaten by sharks.
The solution is, to be shark and eat the fish.

This loss stung but Pj stepping up was big and Kj's shot was amazing and Hagan's and Quickly are improving. Herro had a great start but struggled. Had Reid not fouled out we win.

Seton played great and deserved to win.. We move on and will continue to improve.. We need to face the facts that right now we're a to 20 team at best. I still think this team has a chance to be really good.

To Kansas, by 40 a few years ago.

What the ? No, we beat Kansas, 72-40, the first game of the 2014-15 season..the 38-1 season. The last time we were thumped by 30 or more before Duke this season was in 2013 in Knoxville..we lost 88-58 to Tennessee after Nerlens Noel got injured at Florida that season. Now, Kansas did beat the stuffing out of us in the late 80s..150-95.

Going to be hilarious when this team is on the bubble to get into the NIT and fans start blaming Mitch. You know...the guy no one gave credit to for hiring Cal. Everyone will conveniently forget that it was Mike Pratt.

When you lose in a dominant fashion like we did the first game of the year it just verified it..

When was the last time that a historical program like UK, ever was beaten and lost in such a one sided result?

Maybe the probation years....


You have a short memory if you are asking that question.

At FL Fox and company by 22, not nearly as much, but a bad beat down to an eventual elite 8 team 32-6. That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure we have had strong teams lose badly only to improve later in the season.
Either Fox or a senior Dom Hawkins would be the best player on this team. I hope we come around, losing to Duke wasn’t as concerning as today. Seton Hall is a bubble team at best. Very concerning I’d say

So an interracial couple is on the same level as 9/11 to you. That's messed up homie
I didn’t say anything about race homie. But to ignore the fact her face is right next to his balls, is ignorant. I said in my op I don’t agree with the 9/11 narrative but you can’t call him out for something like that when you’re not exactly a saint. Homie

I’m a veteran served 6 years and was in Desert Storm/Desert Shield.... It was a control blast and not the Twin Towers.....

Have you ever served and fought for this country?

I bet that you have nowhere the Love and Respect that I have for the ole Red, White and Blue.....

Yes it’s collapsing. You guys are horrible at thinking with your brains instead of your hearts. If this was happening to Roy or K you’d be saying they were collapsed and done for...
Roy and K know how to reinvent. I hope Cal will too.

Thank you for your service.
Doesn't change the fact that the original video you showed was the collapse of WTC tower 7 at around 5:30 p.m. on 9-11-01, about nine hours after the first plane hit WTC tower 1.
The building you showed originally did not collapse due to a controlled demolition it collapsed from the events that took place on September 11th 2001. Specifically from debris after the WTC 1 and 2 collapsed and from a fire that started from those aforementioned collapses. I'm sure you meant no disrespect, just stating the facts as they are.

I did.not know it was a video of 9/11 or WTC #7... Like I would use something like that on purpose... I changed the gif so there would be no issue at all whatsoever and you people still go on about it...

It’s changed and not an issue now, so carry on....

"Teams no longer fear us at Rupp" The vast majority of them have never feared us there.. We're everybody's superbowl and most teams play up at an extra level at Rupp. One of the reasons you see so many opponents players having carreer high games here.

First, let me say that I Love Coach Cal.....But the Empire he ruled and owned in college basketball in his early seasons at UK is collapsing..

Teams no longer fear us, even in Rupp Arena... A lot of times they were beaten before the game was played... Their demeanor is no longer shaken......


Geez. We’ve played 9 games. It’s early December. You people need to keep your big boy panties on, and be patient. Cal’s teams are always better in March. And, that’s when it counts.

This team will begin to click when the guard play improves. Right now it’s pretty bad. Specifically at point guard. Somebody needs to step up and take charge and be the man at point. Hopefully someone will.

I am heavily invested in UK FB as well but this garbage post absolutely sucks. Kicking the BB team while they are down is total BS.
In what way does "it's about time we started becoming a football school" kick the basketball team. All it says is yay football. Posts like yours are why I stay on the Lair mostly. There are some incredibly dense people over here.

Those are just "facts" as you were told by tv and the official story. These facts do not stand up to legitimate scrutiny. In any event this subject does not belong on this forum.

You are posting on a thread titled the collapse of the empire . You are beyond dense if you can't see the correlation. You implied you were happy about the so called collapse because it was time FB take over as the main interest at UK. I believe you legitimately failed to recognize this but that is on you not me.

No, thats just how you interpreted it, which IS on you. If youre going to try to lecture me on whether I know the intent and meaning of what I posted, then yeah, you really are as dense as I said. And only further prove my point about how insufferable a lot of you people are on here. Arguing over something that isn't even an argument.

I spend most my time on the Lair anyway so that will be no refuge for you. Recognize the thread you are posting in. If you wish to continue denying the obvious correlation then I can't help you. If you say it was in no way meant as slight to BB I believe you but you should be able to see how it could be taken that way. A simple clarification would have quickly resolved this but you felt the need to include a personal attack.
