The 1996 team has basically become the living effigy of Pitino's entire tenure at UK, and those guys are all more loyal to him than UK so I understand the defensiveness. It also doesn't surprise me that they started getting chesty & butthurt around the same time we were chasing 40-0 with a Calipari-led team, either. That probably didn't help.
Wish they could just drop it and calm TF down, honestly. However, given the Pitino influence I truly believe that they never will.
