Lets get this game over with. Every year it’s the dozen Arkansas fans in Corliss Williamson jerseys that spew this crap.
You do know that Kentucky was good during your teams’ 15 minutes of notoriety 23 years ago and has been there ever since, right?

Yep, you have been there ever since, including the first round loss in the NIT to Robert Morris with the incredible Coach Calipari.

After losing the guy who was, at the time the projected #1 pick in the draft in addition to having PG quit on the team. Yea, good burn.

It was one of the biggest stories of the year, and we went to the finals the next season. UK is always relevant, and as previously pointed out the dirty hogs haven't been since the mid 90s.

Cats by 9 tomorrow.

So you had an injury and a quitter but not enough depth to prevent a first round loss in the NIT, but you are always relevant? Usually Kentucky is much more than relevant, that sesson, not so.

To be honest..I think they didn’t want to be there so didn’t bother even if putting forth the effort for that game
It was embarrassing

I have watched Arkansas 2 or 3 times this year and the one game I wasn't impressed with Arkansas is when they played LSU at Arkansas and lost by 20. Then watched some of there game Saturday vs. A&M and yes they were impressive. They have 2 or 3 player if we can stop or slow down we could do extremely well at Arkansas. The guards in Barford and Macon can kill you but if you can hold these 2 players down like LSU has done twice this year you can beat Arkansas. In the A&M game Barford scored 21 and Macon scored 20 and they were on fire on 3 point shooting and both hit 10-16 from 3 and that killed A&M. In the LSU game at Arkansas when LSU jumped on them for a 20 point lead at Halftime held both Barford and Macon to just 4 made 3's and was only 4-18 from 3 and LSU defense was outstanding and they also out rebounded Arkansas in both games.

We need to go into Arkansas and get off to a huge start and not a slow start. In Kentucky's two games on the road vs. A&M and Auburn we came out and played outstanding defense for the first 12 minutes or so but we couldn't hit a shot and just played even during that stretch. If we can come out hot and play great defense and Rebound like we did vs. Alabama and get a double digit lead and build on that in the 1st half we can beat Arkansas. This is a huge game for our Resume with Arkansas now at #25 RPI and being on the road. This would be another Quad 1 win for UK and there resume. Then come home and beat Missouri which is now #23 RPI and that would be 2 huge games that would be Quad 1 wins to add to our Resume in March. We also have Florida left in Gainesville and any Road with the team #75 and under RPI is a QUADRANT 1 to add to our resume. Kentucky will have 3 games that would be Quad 1 Wins to add to our Resume. Then play 2 or 3 games in the SEC and those are neutral site and at least 2 of those game would be Quad 1 wins to add to resume. That is why Kentucky could move currently from #6 Seed to at least a #3 or #4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. We need these 4 games and all 4 are Huge to Kentucky's building resume in March for the NCAA Tournament.

How many seasons has your team not mattered? All of them except 2?

Nice try on the diversion to the relevance of Arkansas. My response was to the comment about Kentucky always being relevant, and I just used a simple fact from memory that even over the last 9 years under Calipari, the Cats haven't always been relevant.

That was the worst game that I have ever seen an Arkansas Team play in Bud Walton Arena.

If I was a Kentucky Fan, I wouldn’t too excited if you fell behind early, or had a lead late. This Arkansas Team is extremely erratic and can catch fire at any moment, or go into an unbelievable scoring drought like no other team I have ever seen.

Lol we've been to four finals fours in that span. It's kinda ridiculous to say we weren't "relevant". Even in the NIT year we were ranked for a large majority of that season.

And no I doubt Kentucky beats us at home.

We have more fouls called on us at home than the away teams on most occasions so that narrative is false.

It’s not the fouls that get called, it’s the ones that don’t get called that is the problem.

Kentucky loses in the NIT 5 years ago and Arkansas fans are still talking about it. That’s what you call relevance.

Try again, I know that you can do better than that. I am simply using "factual results" to counter the delusional, Calipari Worshiping Kentucky Fans that seem to routinely rant about Arkansas irrelevance.

No.......The Hogs win easily because:

1. Arkansas plays thug ball.
2. Arkansas players will try to hurt Kentucky players.
3. Kentucky never gets a "favorable whistle" on the road.
4. Kentucky is every opponents "Super Bowl".

That's just four of the many that come to mind, but I am sure there will plenty more excuses before the game even starts. Oh by the way, I heard that we brought in John Higgins to call the game, he couldn't pass up the "Walton" payoff!

Good luck tomorrow Cats, may the best team win.

Everyone knows that "Likes"'don't translate from board to board, right??any likes a Hog fan would show here would be "likes" that they've received here. Message number is always growing but likes don't follow.

Who cares about "likes" anyway.

Kentuckys best chance is to press.

Let’s see. Your last championship was . . ? Finals? Final 4? Elite 8?

In terms of body of work, I think our relevance speaks for itself. Particularly as compared to some . . .
