    Cal And 30-30..

    Honestly, as an outsider I had a pretty poor view of Calipari. And without investigating it too much, I think it's fair to have that view. Any coach that leaves 2 schools with sanctions is going to be looked at as a scumbag. That being said, it wasn't till I started coming to this forum (I...

    Miles Bridges might return to Michigan State

    As an MSU fan that's good to hear. I figured there was never a plan one way or another, it would all depend on his stock. I will say that I thought he had a pretty big desire to leave some sort of legacy at MSU, and that he may return because they had such a poor year. Obviously I don't know...

    Strike MSU Off 2017 Contender List; Read Deyonta Davis Signing With Agent

    I still see them as a top 10 team. Their juniors and seniors will step up just like they do every year. Nobody saw Costello putting up the numbers he did this year. That's basically Izzo's plan with his 4 year players. Also, they do have a very good class, and Izzo is a great coach. Might...

    SKJ...

    You guys are a fickle bunch lol. This guy is the 27th ranked player on espn, 26th on rivals, and I think top 20 on 247. He would be the star recruit for most teams. Must be a nice problem to have.....just busting balls.

    Do You Enjoy Having Fans of Other Schools Participating Here?

    I'm a fan of another team, but I try to keep that team secret because I'm not here to talk about them, I'm here to talk about Kentucky. I even try to stay away from threads that discuss my team because then my bias will come out. I just started to develop an interest after I lived with a guy...

    Plumlee looks just like Leonard aka Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket

    I don't understand the love for Michigan State

    Forbes isn't even their point guard. Valentine handles the point for long stretches, and when he isn't Nairn does. Nairn can't shoot, but he's a good defender. Not saying he could shut down Ulis, I don't think anybody can, but he isn't slow.

    How bout Coach Cal for Coach of the yr.?

    I just wanted to comment on coach Calipari.... I think he's one of the best there is. That being said, I don't think it is that amazing that he is able to make the tourney a year after he loses 85% of his scoring as one poster said. I think when you get the talent he does, you should expect...

    UK Assistant Talks About Next Season's Incoming Class' Signees

    Come on man. If you are just trying to make a broad comparison I guess I understand, but if you really think that's what you're going to get....smh I get the excitement, I just hope that isn't what you're expecting.

    Are all the pistons firing for a deep run?

    I wasn't posting early in the year, but I remember a lot of people saying that this Kentucky team was as good as it was going to get, same with Skal. I just think it's funny when people freak out at the beginning of the year, and think that the team they see in January is the one you'll see in...

    Murray/Quarterman Trip-up/Tangle

    When I was watching it live, and they showed the first 2 replays, I kinda thought it was on purpose. Regardless, I think the only person who knows for sure is Murray. I certainly couldn't say for sure that it was on purpose, and I really couldn't care less if it was. I like players that don't...

    What's the expectation?

    I really think Kentucky is a bit of an unknown. I haven't watched nearly as much as you guys have, but they seem like a team that could be out early, or make a run to the Final Four and beyond. If I had to make a pick, I would trust in Calipari and say they make a run, good coaching can do...

    Michigan State

    They're playing as good as anybody right now. I don't know if they deserve to be 6th but definitely top 10 IMO.

    ELEVEN Straight Games Opponents Have Shot More FTs Than UK; 318-210

    Just curious, what do you think the motivation is for the refs to try to call more fouls on Kentucky? I'm not saying they aren't, but I just don't see why anybody (refs, ncaa, ect) would want to take Kentucky down. Usually sports are better when you have the best, most storied teams doing...

    ESPN Rivalry week is a fraud

    Now that he mentioned it, that does sound familiar. That was just the first thing I thought of because I remembered how good of a week of football it was, but you're right. I've always been more of a pro football fan than college football, so that's the excuse I'm going with.
