    Arkansas beat Michigan

    I admit I wanted Arkansas to suck just to feel secure that Cal leaving was a good thing and to know I was right in my opinion that he had to go. But I no longer need that source of security. We know we have an awesome coach whether or not we beat Arkansas head to head or go farther than them in...

    Throwback: Who remembers the Matt Jones/Marc Maggard saga?

    Whoever came up with Frosty Tips is a genius. Would love to see the thread where that was conceived.

    Jay Williams sends message to Kentucky fans over Cooper Flagg

    Guess what Jay, you’re not explaining anything we don’t already know. So I guess that makes you the clueless one. And we still don’t like it. How can that be? Well that’s a little too subtle for you to grasp at your age. Maybe someday a thoroughly unlikable toad such as yourself will mansplain...

    Worth following. Duke plays Arizona, KU, Auburn and UL in the next month

    I’d rather us have a schedule like that. To state the obvious it’s a better learning experience for the team and much more exciting to watch. So why don’t we? If Duke can put a schedule like that together we should be able to as well.

    Riley cuts Arkansas after UK visit

    I get what you're saying but I used to live in Illinois so I have to defend them a little. First of all, all the guys I knew there were rabid Illini fans. Based on that sample I can say Illini fans stick with their teams through think and thin, which is saying something since there's a lot of...

    Not Ranked At All

    Very well said!

    Andrew Carr down to Kentucky, Villanova and Texas Tech

    Most the nicknames suggested on this board are eye rollers, but I can't resist floating one here. The Pontiff for coach Pope.

    Reed tidbit via MJ

    He'd probably start though.

    Matt jones said that all byu athletes that wanted

    The fact that Pope put a team on the floor under those conditions gives me hope he could be a good recruiter.

    Kentucky no longer a blue blood

    Some people on XM saying bad things. Oh the humanity!

    The Herd is Usually Wrong

    I've got you on number of years of fandom. Let's just say > 50. :) Another thing I've noticed, and this is true everywhere. When a coach leaves here, he's often hated by the fans for eternity regardless of what he achieved. Even with Cal. He won us a championship and took us to multiple final...

    Rick Pitino with a message for BBN

    I love the hire. I also never stopped liking Pitino. I think he's always had UK in his heart. He brought the program back from the dead, won a championship, took us to the finals the next year, and put together them that won the title in 98. How can anyone not appreciate that? Really cool he...

    UK hiring Mark Pope -CBS

    I love it. It’s fulfilling watching players like Reeves work hard and get better. I think a similar experience could be in store for Pope. Frankly purchasing a big name coach who’s already been successful felt hollow to me anyway.

    Can The Embarrassment Cease!!

    I don’t think any of this is embarrassing. It’s actually expected. The last time I can remember a highly successful big time coach changing jobs is Cal and then Roy Williams. Even Duke and Carolina couldn’t pull that off their last go rounds. If Mitch hadn’t gone after the big game everyone...
