Notre Dame was looking like a powerhouse and had beaten the champion* in ACC play. They played us really well and it was close. If they were able to get past us; let's just say by getting a good shot off and winning at the buzzer, what chance would you give them to advance in the final four and beat Duke in the title game.
Keep in mind Higgins wouldn't have an agenda towards them like UK and Wisconsin wouldn't have the revenge factor to avenge the previous year. Since Duke and ratface would have one less championship, I think I would be ok with that scenario if I knew we weren't going to win the semi-final.

Looking back on 2015 is about as appealing as cutting off my fingers and toes.

Pass.

Would I want to remove a Final Four banner from Rupp? No. No offense, but that’s stupid.

Had Notre Dame beaten Kentucky with a monumental effort, they would have gotten crushed by Wisconsin. How many times have we seen that happen? And when are people going to accept that that Wisconsin team was a remarkable college team? Four NBA players and a couple others who made some good money playing professionally.

It was a stellar basketball team. Maybe one of our best ever. Why would a Ky basketball fan not want to remember them?
Because even though I fondly remember the team, it's hard to remember them without the horrible ending to the season that still leaves me with a knot in the pit of my stomach when I think about the Wisconsin game. I did really like that particular group of guys, though.

Right.

Painful as cutting off fingers and toes is what you said directly in regards to 2015.
You shouldn’t take message board comments so personally. I realize you have appointed yourself as an apologist for Cal and UK, but not every comment is a reason to take it so personally.

I remember 2015 fondly until the FF. As 99. 9 percent of UK fans do.

Keep fighting the good fight, though.

No just pointing out you didn’t tell the truth. First you are cutting off fingers and toes. Then to save face you deflect and say you just don’t like the OP’s scenario. Then you adjust even further by claiming to remember 2015 fondly except for one game. This sort of deception is common of many in the CLOD. Make a very derogatory statement about the cats and then try to deflect or cry about rebuttal when it comes.

I don’t think fish boy really understands many of the words he types.
Oh. I have had many battles with bassfan starting way back during Tubby years.In fact he got banned,and when rivals had the redo,all bans were lifted. I think bassfan really believes he is doing the right thing,but he can be annoying as hell. I pick at him a lot (maybe I shouldn't), but I really believe his heart is in the right place. He just can not accept that fans can find faults with our coaches at times.

No, he’s an *******. About the only time he posts is to denigrate or call out another fan if they don’t go along with everything he thinks. He must be a liberal. He’s somehow designated himself “keeper of the board”. I don’t know how old he is, but I would think fairly young considering how he thinks it’s all about him. The sad thing is I was most likely following Kentucky basketball (and other sports) before he was even an itch in his daddy’s pants.

He does seem a bit sensitive and insecure...maybe about Cal. But I like to think even though we’ve gone back and forth that everyone on here (the vast majority) are Cats fans who just bring a different perspective and deal with being a UK fan in different ways.

Aren’t the little CLODites sweet. Two Cal bashing boi’s sharing an ice cream and trashing mean old bassfan.

Bottom line, we’re on a KY basketball fan forum. If you think you can post negative crap about the program and not get rebuttal, you really are pretty dim. Neither of you have shown the least bit of basketball experience or knowledge. You both seem to be little more than brats who are heart broken that KY didn’t win because you wanted it to happen.

In the mean time, share with us the emotional trauma you felt when Cal was made lifetime. It must have been devastating. Let’s see some tears.

We definitely touched a nerve. Which is easy with you, and it’s great how you expose yourself for everyone to see. Sensitive little thing...

Fish boy, I’m going to post this just one more time and that’s it. Show me ONE post where I’ve trashed Cal or anyone associated with the team. Just one! Have I disagreed with some decisions? Yes, a couple. That’s called conversation. You don’t like it? I do NOT care. I’m not here to please you. I disagreed sometimes with Tubby and Rick and certainly Billy Clyde. I disagree with friends and family sometimes as well, and they do with me. It doesn’t mean I want them gone. You seem to think everyone has to toe YOUR line. Here’s a clue. It’s not going to happen. So you just keep on with your little labels and juvenile crap and leave discussions to the adults.

He knows it’s not bashing or derogatory. It’s a defense mechanism born out of his insecurity. Agree Its time to move on from him. It’s kinda entertaining but he doesn’t add much substance so it gets boring. Plus he just lies or exaggerated other comments. It allows him to be the “defense” of Cal.

I’ll bet he’s extremely pleased just like I am.

Until the first loss, right? Then I’m guess there will be a full scale assault on Mitch. Bleating and crying crying every game. You are a hater dude. We know it. You know it. Just own it. It’s yiu.

What is the latest CLODite Cal hate stat? Last I saw, the most important basketball stat in the universe was 2 championships. Is that still the new contrivance or do you whiny boys have a new bogus stat? Might be a secret huh?
Believe me, if I wanted a different coach you wouldn’t have to read between the lines. I’d flat out state it whether you or anyone else liked it. Luckily, I’m 100% content with the one we have and will have for quite some time.

He probably lives in mama’s basement and has no life. No doubt he’s a very insecure little fish boy.

How about I wait till the first loss with the new team? Get some fresh bashing and tears. Bash, bash bash.

Why do you cry when you get rebuttals? You post in a public forum and you get debate. Then you cry. Just own your hate and negativity.

LOL. Oh you little moron fish boy. We’ve had many losses before and I”m still 100% onboard. I know that destroys your narrative though. I’d actually like to meet you to see just how small of an insecure little fish boy you are. But, I assume you frighten easily.

Debate? LOL. You wouldn’t know debate if it bit you in your candy ***. Run along little fish boy. Mama’s calling.

I bet Cal emphasizes defense next year and plays exactly the offense. He will have the same approach to the three point line.

Are you proud of being a CLODite?
