    It took 12 hours to play 4 games? Are you freaking serious?

    Not sure about "real red blooded", but stats don't lie lol US Population Statistics: Eastern Time Zone has 47.6%, the Central Time Zone has 29.1%, the Mountain Time Zone has 6.7%, and the Pacific Time Zone has 16.6%

    Top 8 is your measure for success? I thought we were about Final Fours and Championships? Years that each team have made the Final Four or better since Joe B Halls title: Kentucky 9 years Duke 13 years UNC 14 years Kansas 10 years Michigan State 9 years Louisville 7 years Villanova 5 years...

    In the era of modern basketball yes that is exactly what I am saying....our basketball program has been average to above average in it's entirety since either 1985 (when most everyone considers the start of modern day) or if you want to say after the last title before that period began. Titles...

    If you had told me that UConn has had sustained success over the past 30 years I would say you are wrong...even with their titles susstained success would mean they are toward the top year in and year out. 6 out of 30 years isn't sustained. If you say that UConn has had one of the most...

    The poster I responded to made the comment that we had maintained continued success all through the years even after Halls last title. I pointed out that no in fact we had not and when you look at everything included after Joe B's title we really had been mediocre for the MOST PART. Yes you...

    Per a simple search..... The modern era of college basketball is generally considered to have begun in 1985, when the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament expanded to 64 teams. This expansion led to increased media coverage and popularity. The 3-point line was introduced to college...

    All of those instances you talked about happened at least in the last 30 years. All I was getting at is this "blue blood" word our fans throw around like that's supposed to mean something really doesn't mean squat anymore and doesn't "separate" us from anyone. It doesn't matter what we did in...

    Yes I threw out the great years because that was the entire point of the post lol. Other than those late Rick and early Cal years the other 30+ years have been mediocre. You then stated "We have had plenty of other Final Fours in those other years" and you were....WRONG. Yes we are tied for...

    And there proves you have no clue what you are talking about.... Taking out, like I mentioned, Ricks later years (lets say 94-97) and Cals first 8 years (09-17) since Joe B's title (1978) we have a whopping THREE Final Fours in those 34 other seasons. That is text book mediocrity for a program...

    Do I have to slobber over 1940 and 1950 titles that were 30 years before I was born in order to be a Kentucky fan? Been around this board 16 years and bleed blue to the fullest. I'm just not someone who likes seeing people claim fame based on what they did 70 years ago. We were top of the heap...

    Is that really much better? I was making the comparison from modern times. The modern era is considered from 1985, so how about we say 3 titles in going on 40 years? Is that better?

    I understand perfectly what a blue blood is. What I do not understand is when fans try to use the status of "blue blood" to elevate our status in todays game. The poster made the comment...."UConn is no blue blood" like they actually care and that's supposed to matter. The teams that were good...

    No more Krissa please.

    vs Duke 0 assists vs Clemson 0 assists Racking up 19 assists in two games against Bucknell and Jackson State doesn't tell the entire story. 30 total assists 19 came in 2 games against nobodys 0 assists in the two real games we have played...three games if you count WKU 11 assists in the other...

    I understand what you are saying, but not sure on the "sustained" success. We measure success here by titles, correct? What success did we sustain from the late 70's until 1996? Then from 1998 until 2012? Those are huge chunks and if you eliminate the 50'2 when we had 8 team title tourneys then...

    Again....why are we looking at 70 YEARS AGO! Heck Dallas isn't even thought of much as "Americas Team" anymore and its only been 30 years since theyre success lol. Should we call them the Greatest of All Time even though they haven't done squat since the 90's? Are they just as good of a program...
