    When did UK games start being televised?

    I remember watching the taped delay game early 70's (I graduated HS 1972). I was allowed to stay up and watch the game on Saturday nights. I also remember staying up some week nights when there was no school the next day such as when school was canceled due to snow. Some of my fondest memories...

    Marcus Lee is the most athletic big man to play at Kentucky.

    I've watched UK basketball for a long time and in my opinion WCS was the most athletic big man I saw play at UK. Unfortunately, not the most basketball skilled, but the most athletic in my opinion. Marcus is very athletic, but probably doesn't quite make the top 5. In some ways he is like WCS...

    Most expensive thing you've broken reacting to UK game?

    I have taped or DVR the games for years now. During the Tubby years I would get so frustrated that I broke a few remotes and what have you but my bigger concern was my health (literally, I have high b/p that is difficult to keep under control). I started watching the games on about a 30 minute...

    WCS reports out of shape to kings camp

    What a bunch of maroons(sic). Anybody watch the Kings first preseason game Monday night before shooting off your mouths? I did. He didn't look bad at all for a rookie. Like Smashcat, said, quoting Sun's coach Karl, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks (and a steal) in 21 minutes, "pretty good for a...

    Chance to defend Cal if you so choose...

    If Cal would have said the top goal was getting 8 guys to complete their degrees and move on to lucrative careers in the business, industrial, medical, or whatever fields, he would have received nothing but praise. Nobody would have thought twice about that being a bigger priority for the young...

    So the platoon DID kill us

    So Brown was afraid that he wouldn't get more than 20 minutes a game with this year's roster? I'm not buying that, and if that was the case and his only reason for not choosing UK, then we don't need him. If that's the case, then best of luck to him, but he wasn't UK material with that kind of...

    The fan base is insufferable right now.

    Exactly. Pretty much my experience, although I haven't been to the SEC tournament, but some road games. I too live out of state and unfortunately if you judged all UK fans by some of the bad apples on this site you would develop a very bad opinion of BBN. It's a shame because the majority of the...

    Should Willie have been an All American

    I think Willie is going to surprise some people when he starts playing as a pro. I think the pros will develop that offensive game and encourage him to use it. Willie played within Cal's system and he played very well within that system. He sacrificed personal stats for the greater needs of the...

    Two days later still having trouble with this one.

    40+ years, never been as heartbroken over a game as this. My all time favorite team, great bunch of kids. I love these guys, wanted it so bad for them. Getting sentimental in my old age.

    Kaminsky over Willie for POY

    I believe Willie has matured enough to not let this influence his game. He doesn't need to prove anything, he just needs to stay within himself and let the game come to him. He just needs to play his game and not worry about stats in the box score. A team effort resulting in 2 more wins is all...

    I said before the tournament that ND would be our only single digit game...

    I hope you're right, that's about all the single digit I can stand.

    Kaminsky - Flop Last Year

    That GIF should be sent to every FF ref and should be on ESPN, CBS, etc. NCAAT home pages. It's blatant cheating and just extreme unsportsmanship. He pulls that crap all the time, yet he is held up as an example of "the right kind of college BB player" and is touted as POY.

    Your Thoughts on Willie Tonight

    Apparently Cal thought he was doing something right as he kept him on the floor 33 minutes, which may have effected his energy level some. He may have felt the need to pace himself. I did expect him to come out with more energy, but he has done a good job of playing within himself in the...

    Your Thoughts on Willie Tonight

    It never ceases to amaze me that after 3 years of watching Willie play, people still don't understand his role on this team. I'm thankful Willie understands his role. They think if he doesn't get 20 points and 10 rebounds he has had a terrible game. Willie does so many things that do not show up...

    Cincy Radio talking about Octvius Ellis

    Oh come on UC#1, you're not fooling anybody, you are not that dense. Comparing the potential psychological damage being done to Ellis by encouraging him to act out on his anger issues to the "damage" done to a OAD by allowing him to develop his basketball skills to the point that his services...
