Anybody know where the Cal vs. Bruce head-to-head record stands? I vaguely remember Cal's unbeaten #1 Memphis losing to Pearl's Tennessee (lead by Chris Lofton) about a decade ago.

Cam Newton wasn’t paid one dime. Unlike John Wall, Cousins, Nerlens, KAT etc etc

It's impressive you can name that many players here. I can't name any of yours. Maybe if they were paid money like Cam I'd have heard of them too.

Auburn University has an elite, well rounded Athletic Program. We currently EXCEL in Football, Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Equestrian, Swimming and Wheelchair Basketball.

UK could really learn a lot from Auburn - don’t put all your eggs in one basket, because when you suck, YOU SUCK.
If we suck.... you swallow.

I get that. If the argument is best two sport athlete, then, sure, I can that. Thorpe was that two, but won two Olympic gold medals for overal athleticism. This might be a stretch, and I'd have to go make and look at the details, but I think you could even argue Carl Lewis was a better overal athlete than Bo (if you actually think about it).

That doesn't give a lot of credit to the hand eye coordination it takes to play what I assume is fair to call "traditional" sports (by today's standards).

Is that what you told Bama fans after you beat them this year in football? UK is your daddy in basketball like Bama is your daddy in football.
Lol, Bama ain’t ****. We own the state in football, and the SEC in hoops.

If Bruce had UK players, you guys win by 40+. The coaching mismatch in this contest is frightening

I think it was #2 UT vs #1 Memphis in 2008 and Bruce won. I'm pretty sure that was the first time he got UT to #1 in the country.

CAL definitely has the overall lead
AUBURN Bruce vs Cal - Cal 2-1

UT Bruce vs UK Cal - Cal 4-1

UT Brucs vs Memphis Cal - tied 2-2

Overall Cal leads 8-4 according to this random article I found...

And I totally get the logic in that argument. But I could counter with, what could Thorpe have accomplished with the sports medicine and nutrition Bo had available. Kinda like, how good would the Babe had been if his conditioning wasn't booze and cigars?

Would Thorpe has been as dominant in a non-segregated era (I get the irony in that statement but I think we all understand the truth behind it)? Both are pretty famous for not really training much anyway.

I guess there is, and always will be why this will always be a debate with sports fans.

Pretty simple really. No way handsome young gentlemen like BOOGIE and Bledsoe would leave the great State of Alabama unless they were made an offer they couldn't refuse...

We do have fans not stupid enough to put random capital letters in the middle of a sentence. Seems to be a problem for you. Offense intended.
