A historic Kentucky win. Braveheart Edition.

"In the year of our Lord, 2024,
Patriots of Kentucky, starving and outnumbered
Charged the fields of Seattle
They fought like warrior poets
They fought like Wildcats
And won their freedom...

Forever."

No way we win this game if this were Cal and his mercenaries. Experience is so much better than youth that doesn't include a few guys like Wall, Cousins, Davis, KAT, Fox, Bam, Monk, etc. Now for the love of God, don't lose to Arkansas this year.

Hey I was there, just not on this forum. I actually got my non-basketball wife to wake the F up and she was all into it!

I was in it win or lose. I'll be exhausted tomorrow, but at least I'll have sweet dreams when I fall asleep at church.

Go Cats!!!

Bring us the HEAD of this mighty Gonzaga.


And he did.

Agree. A freshmen dominated team would have folded.

 

[ukcatz12]

Hell of a game tonight.

May they sing songs in your honor for a hundred generations, and may the sun never set on what you did this night on the fields of Cats Illustrated. All of your names have been added to the list of the honorable warriors who fought this day.

He who bleeds with me is my brother, and we bled tonight, men. We bled tonight.

 

[4Frusciante#]

This win and the Duke win make this a decent year even if everything goes to hell.

You're on the list, brother. You were one of our best warriors tonight.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'll add more names to the official list tomorrow.

I'm heading to bed.

Add your name here tonight if you were with us.

And always remember, men...

 

[KyCatFan1]

I'm still really pessimistic because of battered fan syndrome (thanks Call). I love Pope being here. I was probably one of the first ones on the board saying I'd take Pope as our coach back in 2022. I'll still probably say some stupid stuff and be glass half empty, but hopefully Pope will help break me of that.

Next time you’re having the urge, remember today.

“would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance – just one chance – to come back here and tell the Zags that they may take our point guards but they'll never take our freedom!”

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

You were one of our best in the game thread. You're on the list, brother.

Trolls in the game thread once the final horn sounded with UK winning:

 

[Jireh]

You were one of our best in the game thread. You're on the list, brother.

I can't participate in the game thread. I have to sit in my chair that is pulled up close to the TV with the remote in my hand. After halftime, I had my phone in my right pocket and my glasses in my left pocket. I got it figured out now - we may not lose another game. You're welcome!

 

[mrhotdice]

This is why the BBN is so special. We fight and argue among ourselves but when it's time to fight we are all a Band of brothers. Watched it all from beginning OT, and my son called me screaming Who's in the House tonight? Uk

 

[jedcat]

I watched it to the end.

I was there. I never give up!

Adding you both to the list.
