You’re not pointing out much. The reactions were pretty level headed for a game thread today.

yep. seen it since 75 here. definitely a pattern. saw it from the re-ionception of when the SECT came back. Same results from the refs, differnet names.
Amazing how many of these games we win 8v5.
I remember in 2014 the Cats and Gators played 3 times. The Gators won all 3 but each game got closer and closer with the 3rd in the SEC tournament if my memory is correct went OT. The Cats were an 8 or 9 seed that year and they almost played the Gators again as both team went to the Final Four with UConn beating Florida in the semis and UK in the Finals. I really wanted the Gators in that final game. I do not think they would have beat the Cats 4 times.
Garrison did absolutely nothing wrong. Phillips came into the uk group mouthing, then pushed Garrison. I don't see it a two way T, at all. In fact, I like BG standing his ground in that situation. He didn't push and didn't go after Phillips. His arm came forward but didn't appear to make contact. Rather, more of a momentum thing from being pushed by Phillips first. Phillips shouldn't have been where he was to begin with.
What would it take to have someone from UK on SEC Network basketball coverage
This. We way their coach cries the whole game he might have told him to draw a tech
A lot of folks don’t think a win against Missouri of all teams is an indicator for success. At least wait for Pope to beat a decent team like Florida before bragging.
I never said it was an indicator of success. Again, simply pointing out how stupid it looks to be calling to fire a coach mid-game, even when we’re winning. No proclamations about being a contender. No saying we are great. Just that people look stupid they way they react at times.
Get it?
We let a 16 point lead vanish and nearly lost the game. It’s one of many of idiotic mistakes that people understandingly vent over. Pope has hardly done enough by “Kentucky standards” that deserves wanting to keep him around.
You should change your name to fat cat ***** because all you do is spew negative ****
And? They had the best player on the court, were playing to guarantee a tourney spot, and we still won. Venting is fine. Continuing to say Pope needs to be fired because we can’t handle Mark Mitchell (not exactly embarrassing) makes people look stupid.

Mitchell was out of his mind and we obviously got tight.

If it were any other team it would have been mentioned that the dude come back to a teams huddle, but not Kentucky. The refs stick together on it and call a T on both teams, it cuts the coaches arguments out that way.
Except it has always been like this, even during our "relevant" years. Zero Final Four Tennessee has TWO former players employed by the SEC Network (and I like Bradshaw much better than Dykes/Bilas/etc.). Zero national titles Auburn has a former player analyst over us (and I like Fishback, he's always been very fair to us). Arkansas, a non-original league member, even has one (two if you count Little Jimmy coaching Hawg Women). Historically we're better than all three and even recently we have been more relevant when it comes to national titles.
Personally I think it's ridiculous that Kentucky and Kansas are the only original Blue Bloods with no former player or coach analyst/announcer on ESPN or CBS while you can throw a rock and hit a Duke and UNC alum (even IU is represented by Creepy Crean), but their grads are in high positions at those networks and want to keep the favortism train rolling, I get it. We'll see how long Mashburn lasts at TNT, which is still relatively new at covering college basketball, I guess (ESPN only had him cover pro ball when he was there and cut him loose rather quick compared to some). But not having one representative for THE Blue Blood program that helped keep the SEC relevant nationally for decades on our own conference network? IDK, seems like an odd and deliberate choice by SEC higher ups
.
I agree with most of what you had to say in response , but BG did raise his arms and make contact in the process of shoving him back. At some point you have to ask" why is the same guy in the middle of mouth running fest every damn time " ? And he did push , to say he didnt isnt being true to the facts on this one
These kids have no idea how stupid they look doing that shoulder shrug flex after a dunk or a really good play. Why do you have to celebrate that way, you didn’t just knock someone out, you just made a good play. Most of the ones that do it are small and weight 180 pounds, it’s just funny to see them act like they are the baddest dudes on the planet after dunking or something. Ours included.
