    Duke - Greatest Program of the past 30 years

    Those are all great points. You guys are really onto something. Can we expound on that a little, and include baseball? I'm a Dodgers fan myself, and I absolutely HATE the Yankees. Lets start a movement of only counting their World Series wins that occurred since 1977, and wipe out the rest...

    Kentucky and ACC/SEC.

    It will always be this way Zipp. The states like Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia have one true love: football. Every once in a while something odd might occur and Florida or LSU will make the Final Four, but a week after the tournament, hell, a day after the tournament, it is on...

    Kentucky and ACC/SEC.

    There's one thing I think everyone should consider, and of course the media aren't covering it: how unflinchingly awful Coach K will look if Duke doesn't win a title this year. After all, his team has been through the gauntlet in the ACC AND has 8 McDonald's all-Americans left on that roster...

    Big 12 embarrasing itself already

    Yeah, I could go along with that Cue Card. It would be like the College World Series, which I think has a good format.

    Big 12 embarrasing itself already

    Zipp, I understand what you are saying, but I think if NCAA basketball went a "best of 5" type formula it would become too vanilla, like the NBA. The 1983 NC State and 1985 Villanova teams would not have been champions; most likely the overall #1 seeds would win every year.

    Pitino To Onuaku: "The Onus Is On You."

    Excellent reference! My reply to that is the big guys need to stop acting like The Orphans. I don't think it can be changed overnight, but with their size surely something can be done. I would have them watching video of the old school rim protectors during the off season and really emphasize...

    Pitino To Onuaku: "The Onus Is On You."

    Those big guys for UL aren't mean enough. If they are not going to be scorers, they should aspire to be the enforcer types around the basket that all the other teams hate. A little bit of Oakley, Mason, Lambier, etc. I know a lot of years those were double-double guys so they don't compare to...

    And here all you UK fans thought it was just UofL fans who see it this way

    This is why the article was written. Journalists don't like being told they don't have access to something.

    The SEC

    Cardfan1963, in my world I don't see the incivility between UK and UL fans that I do on the internet or in social media. Several very close friends of mine are UL fans, and we are able to have positive discourse on the subject of our teams. At the very worst we will go a day or two without...

    O.T. Wisconsin's Kicker

    Janikowski lite.

    The SEC

    Fair enough. UL has come a long way from where they were as a program just 15-20 years ago, and should be commended. You're right, UK (administration, not the fans) accepted their football plight along with their paycheck for several decades, but I think with Stoops and his assistants...

    The SEC

    Lets be honest, talent-wise there is not much difference between UK and UL at this time. Considering how the game with UGA went, how do you think UL would do if in the following weeks they had to play Mississippi State, then Missouri, then Tennessee? I believe there were 5 injuries for UL in...
