Thanks for the compliment, I suppose. Here's how i see it:

* When Indiana fans come here disrespecting Kentucky I'm going to point out the obvious, as often as it takes -- their program died 30 years ago and isn't coming back to an elite level.

* When UNC-CHeat fans come here disrespecting Kentucky, I'm going to point out the obvious as often as it takes -- their program is the least ethical, most corrupt in modern college basketball history.

* When Kansas fans come here disrespecting Kentucky I'm going to point out the obvious as often as it takes - they are a historicially underachieving program with a massive inferiority complex shown by hanging Helms Banners who have been cheating consistently throughout history (banned from post-season the year after the 1988 championship for one example) and have been aggressively cheating recently, as evidenced by the FIVE major NCAA violations still pending punishment.

I'd think Kentucky fans would be on board with that, but I guess the fan base doesn't agree on anything these days. That's fine. Everyone is welcome to an opinion, and I mean that sincerely.

And two of those programs were led by a co coler slurping farce.

Roy Williams and K deserve each other. They both cheated their asses off.

Based on your post I’m going to guess you are about 16, so were not alive 21 years ago when Indiana last made it past the Sweet 16. To remember that happening twice you’d have to be about 35. But even at your age - 16 or so - you can remember a National Championship, Four Final Fours and a total of SEVEN trips passed the Sweet 16 for Kentucky.

You see the difference now? And that’s not counting the near-Threepeat of TWO championships and a final game appearance and four total Final Fours for the Cats in the 1990s (in the years AFTER anything close to sustained relevancy for Indiana) or even two Elite Eights in the early 2000s. Kentucky is, has been and always will be in the conversation not only for greatest program of all time, but among programs relevant today, whatever occasional hiccups occur. No one who cares to think about it has put Indiana in that conversation in the lifetime of any fan much under 40.

I hope that clarifies the present, past and future comparisons between Kentucky and Indiana basketball.
Kentucky seasons still in in losses,and now are turning in to the 4 best team in sec.now you see the difference, because you can't out pay people anymore.

One bad year and one bad game damn man what universe do you live in? We’ve also had an NIT year lost to the likes of Evansville, Robert Morris , Richmond, lost the all time wins lead, and lost all time tournament wins lead. You’re right we’re are not as bad as IU has been for a few decades but keeping Calipari is not helping our case at all. Right now we have no right to make fun of no other team.

LMAO, another ridiculous post. UK was a 2 seed last year. Hardly a program in ruins.

Talking about a ridiculous post just keep your head buried in the sand. We lost to a 15 seed this year after having a 9-16 season last year. Duke just came in and took one of the best young assistant coaches in America right from us! We haven’t been the same program since Cal let Bo Ryan take his lunch money from him in 2015! Cal is never going to be the same coach he was when he came in and took the job in 2009 he got his Championship in 2012, Hall Of Fame , and then the Lifetime Contract he is coasting till retirement now he doesn’t give a **** about anything anymore especially the University of Kentucky!

I think UK diehards subliminally miss the days of RMK and the home/home series in its heyday.
Nothing “subliminal” about it with me. I’ll gladly admit I miss it. That game was a ton of fun and the highlight of the early season each year. It was once the best annual rivalry game in the sport.

The loss of games like that have made the regular season far more boring and less fun to me.

IUs demise and the what shot game ruined it. Crean, Cal, IU and UK administrations all helped it die. We need good old rivalries to thrive again. UK/IU. Cinci/X. Etc….are ruthless and fun. Hell Illinois/IU was a fun one at one time.
