    FSU at UL

    They have been one of the best road teams in the country over the last 5 or 6 years. I don't recall their road record from last year, but, their last few years in the Big East they were the best road team in the conference, and it wasn't even close. Can't really count their year in the AAC...

    My Old Kentucky Home

    They've played it after every game for years. It's nothing new. At least they have at the games I've seen. One of the memorable scenes from the original "dream game" was both schools cheerleaders intertwined singing My Old Kentucky Home.

    Listening to Gottdweeb I am convinced we don't have a chance at beating WVU

    You might as well prepare yourself to hear everyone whine about the amount of FTs the Cats are going to shoot. Style of play and size dictates that UK will shoot a lot of FTs, anyway. WVU leads the country in fouls committed...per the announcers in their game tonight. Make a decent percentage...

    UK/WVU crowd split in Cleveland

    ND has a ton of big dollar fans in the Northeast. WVU has a rabid fan base and travels very well. Wich St, actually travels really well, but that's a long ways for them. UK will, obviously, have the most, due to buying the tickets before a game was even played. But, the other 3 schools will...

    I hope Maryland wins...

    I'd rather play Maryland. WVU is a better scoring version of Cincy, in my opinion. Hack, slap, foul, very strong defense. But, they can actually score and don't seem like an easily intimidated team. Maryland has some talent, but seem like they might cower a bit in the situation. Who knows...

    NCAA Cleans Up Yum Yum Center

    Seth. Prove what? What, exactly, are we supposed to be arguing about and what "proof" are you looking for? Just because I enjoy living in Louisville and don't like it when people make false statements about it due to their hatred of UofL/Pitino. I haven't said 1 negative thing about...

    NCAA Cleans Up Yum Yum Center

    Kitkoodle, I'm assuming you're being facetious. The Yum Center and said restaurants/bars etc, aren't in ANY neigborhood. It's a city. I get your hatred for UofL, but, you couldn't be any further from the truth with your statements (ok, drug deals near Churchill, maybe). But, you do realize that...

    NCAA Cleans Up Yum Yum Center

    There are many things uniquely Lexington that I truly enjoy. However, comparing the area around Rupp? to the area around the Yum Center/Downtown Louisville as far as things to do, places to stay, things to see, places to eat and drink?.....ummmmm no. Not even close. Apples and Oranges. You're...

    NCAA Cleans Up Yum Yum Center

    If you're planning on going to Horseshoe, you might want to double check and make sure it's open. I believe it's closed right now due to flooding. As far as Mike Linnig's, at least it's behind a flood wall, so, it might be open. Otherwise, you might want to consider entertainment a little more...

    Can we all agree on one thing?

    A) I can't imagine a scenario that doesn't involve the Cats winning #9. About as overwhelming favorite I've ever seen in any MEN'S sport going into the postseason. B) If...BIG IF...the season doesn't end cutting down the nets...this board will melt down faster than butter in a microwave. We...

    NCAA Cleans Up Yum Yum Center

    Usually, parking around the Yum Center is a breeze. I've been there for numerous events and there is way more than ample parking. However, Louisville is getting hit really hard right now with the Ohio River flooding after all the recent snow and rain. Even if the waters recede, it is going to...

    Buffalo Led UK 38-33 at Half in Rupp

    Honestly, completely forgot about that. Seems like years ago. WVU's best guard has been struggling/hurting, but, Huggins teams always play physical, in your face defense.

    Louisville overseeded and

    Actually, I think they got pretty lucky. I know you can't go by "name" only...but, if they get by UC-Irvine and Northern Iowa, they are in the sweet 16. Villanova is the most suspect 1 seed...and they've already beat the 2 seed, Virginia... in that bracket without Chris Jones. Virginia looks...

    Tell me about Cincinnati and Purdue.

    I'll tell you about them....they're both lucky enough to have relatively short trips home after getting blown out in the Yum Center.
