The 1998 beatdown of UCLA in the tournament was incredibly fun. I want to say CBS cut away to Rhode Island vs. Valpo before halftime it had gotten so out of hand.

There has never been a good individual player that was demolished more handily in a ballgame than JR Henderson was by Jamaal Magloire and Nazr Mohammed. Helped to not have Baron Davis, but still. Super talented UCLA bunch anyway. Beat em down.

THAT ALLEN EDWARDS BASELINE THROW DOWN THO....

Any other smart message board posters with internet access feel like refuting the UK/UCLA radio teams?
What the hell are you talking about? We have played on our campus. Your post says otherwise.

Have a seat, waldo.

I don't think we've ever played on their campus. They have played at Memorial. According to Jon Scott we played them at USC's gym in 1959.

Maybe it was my young mind's lack of understanding the historical ramifications of UCLA winning their 11th, but I remember REALLY wanting them to murder Arkansas in the championship game because eff Nolan, Corliss and Scotty.

Ha, the UK/Ohio St Game is at 3:30.....that's actually awesome, just assumed it was a night event for some reason with us being the nightcap. Guess the Chicago one last year was too, dunno why I didn't think of that.

Opens up another night. Wodie.

That UCLA story from the LA Times was a great read, but there's absolutely no way that Alford wasn't behind it as a means to put pressure on the administration and boosters. They had a ton of very specific information related to his travel, expense reports, and even notes from the administration. Maybe it all came through California's FOIA statute, but I am guessing at least someone in Alford's office told them what to request. I'm sure his bosses are thrilled at how ****** the article paints the UCLA Athletic Department next to Kentucky's.

I think Alford was a good hire there, all things considered. He seems to have things going in the right direction...next year's class will be a nice building block.

I'm not saying anything bad about Alford, just making the observation that this is a little power struggle playing out in the media. If anything, his camp did themselves a huge favor by exposing the disparity in resources of Kentucky and UCLA.

We get Walton and Pasch tonight? Didn't seem like the Walton and Sciambi combo worked too well in Maui.

I think we are just going to place she likes in Little Italy for dinner Friday night and maybe catching a show somewhere.

Saturday, we were gonna try to hang with the crew some before/after the game. And yes, she will probably be wearing OSU stuff.

This story doesn't denigrate UCLA's program, it indicts Kentucky's program and people like Seth Greenberg who hold Kentucky's program as the ideal for college athletics.

Presumably in a sport that that has lost almost any sense of integrity, UCLA has just a little more than one year and out teams like Kentucky and Duke, or teams with academic scandals like UNC. Given the sorry state of college basketball, it is unlikely that teams like UCLA, that pay at least some attention to academic integrity, will be competitive.

The last sentence should read: " Does Seth Greenberg think Kentucky's priorities should be the norm?'"

If the NCAA thinks Kentucky's level of lavish spending on one sport is fine, that explains a lot, not only about college sports, but about a society with misplaced values. John Wooden's salary at UCLA was $35,000 when he retired.

Compared to Wooden, Calipari is a carnival barker.


[laughing]


Fact: Only losers talk about misplaced priorities in college sports. No one bitches when they're winning.

Didn't we play out there in December 1994 and lose a close one to their 1995 national title team?

ETA: Nope that one was at The Pond in Anaheim.
Got drug to a movie with my cousins for that game and listened on a portable radio. Parents went.

I think you'd feel a little differently if you lived in western Kentucky, Coolcat. I could understand never experiencing their fans and thus not being a fan of the rivalry. But once you get a taste of their fan base, you quickly develop a bloodlust for destroying them. Living right across the border from them, there's been times in my life that I've wanted to cut an Indiana fan's throat. I can't think of many more satisfying things than totally annihilating them. A blowout loss to us would drive some of their fans to suicide, which would be fantastic.

Henderson?
