ROLL, DAMN TIDE!!

I hope they can beat UConn, but I fear UConn is going to “roll” them and win it all.
UConn is scary good. But Bama looks like it is rededicated to defense.
And it is just one game . . . .
Kentucky lost by 24 in the 1974/75 regular season to Bobby Knight’s greatest team, then got them in the tourney.
Funny things happen in one-and-done tourneys.
Unfortunately, UCLA’s John Wooden announced his retirement two days prior to the title game . . . and funny things happened in that title game!!
NCSU>Bama>Purdue>UConn. That's the order of preference.
As much as I don’t want UConn to win again. They’re still not as insufferable as Duke, UNC, UofL, Indiana and Kansas. Those are the top 5 and then it’s a huge dropoff to the next tier.
Sir,
You never post here, but are a prolific poster on the football forums and adamant in your support of Wildcat football.
Yet, here, out of the blue (pun intended), you don't just post, but start an entire thread in support of Crimson Tide basketball.
This leads me to conclude that you got your gloryhunting fandom mixed up, and mistakenly chose UK football and Bama basketball, as opposed to vice versa.
Kind regards,

I would think if you’re on the Oats to UK train, you probably don’t want Bama to win it all.
I’m on the Nate oats train, and if bama wins maybe he will convince the program and the cow lovers to look into the oat goat.
Yeah need Bama to lose. Oats can win his title here.
Cloooooose,
But no cigar!!
From 1969, until about 1985, I was as roundball oriented as any.
My army-surplus-coat-wearing, hair-passed-his-shoulder-blades, UK Frosh, older brother and I stood in line for 14 hours in 1974 to catch a two rare public tickets . . . . I saw the Kevin Grevey led Cats beat UF in old Memorial Colosseum. There was a guy standing in line with his pup brother, who was a member of “Grevey’s Guerilla’s” which I think had something to do with basketball and smoking lots of hemp.
In short, the next day I casually mentioned I had attended the UK/UF game the night before . . . . And you should have seen the eyes when I pulled out my ticket stub!!!! I was a 4th grade celebrity for a day!
And you really don’t want to know the causes of my gradual shift to football beginning during my first year at UK Law School, until the years I had season tickets for each.
I’ve posted those reasons a number of times through 26 years of posting, and have been “called on the carpet,” by some roundball oriented moderators, and explained in even greater detail my long-term experiences, and then was questioned no more.

Bama+11.5 seems like a lot. I know Uconn is the favorite, but Bama can score that seems crazy with NCST only getting 9.
He’s not a fan of UK basketball. This guy tries every which way to justify keeping cal and Barney. He seems content with an average fb team and traditionally bad bb program.
Good so you were a fan and jumped ship for fb. Nice for you. Your ilk aren’t going to allow Barney and cal to hold this fanbase hostage. Get on board or get out.
I love both equally and want more from our fb program. I think we have settled there too. When you see Missouri make a ny6 and win and uk not well hmmm you know??? And Ku football has surpassed UK. Duke is about on level. Let’s get our bb tradition back on track so we have that representation of the state the tradition. The closest thing to a pro organization repping the state of Ky.
You’re full of crap if you say you love both equally. While I think about it, you’re just full of crap. You attack probably the best poster collectively on both boards (Hack), and you just spout off.

Just Sears. Griffen and Pringle came off the bench last year, but neither ever started a game until this year. The whole rest of the rotation is new this year.
Lol.
I was a fan that was “up close and personal” with a basketball program run like an organized crime outfit, and grew sick of “your ilk” who knowingly got their thrills from a program steeped in decades of sheer swill.
U of L may have passed us in the last 5 years for pure evil, but they didn’t outdo our worst by all that much.
There has been one massive absent tradition since Barnhart’s arrival: we’ve failed to be placed on probation for more than 20 years, more than tripling our lengthiest era of “innocence” between our death penalty in 1953 and “Kentucky’s Shame,” in 1989.
You suggest you or someone is “being held hostage.”
A nice felonious metaphor, but one rendered meaningless when juxtaposed with the actual felonies allowed to persist for half-a-century to build the program that has only gained real respectability under the lengthy guidance of Mitch Barnhart.
You sure do speak a lot and with some level of articulation but you don’t say much. You’re still willing to trade tradition in order to build equity among the programs. That ******** ain’t gonna fly here. It’s pretty evident you hate UK basketball because as you see it it has held fb back. No hack fb has held fb back. Time for a new AD the age of needing to cheat is over and if you paid attention you would see if schools don’t push the ncaa envelope they don’t win. Actually they end up like this with Barney. Average programs who every once in a while hit it big due to the law of averages. Yep you’re right and it’s why Barney is a revered AD by his colleagues. He’s a pushover. He doesn’t stand up to anything. The ADs in the sec love what he’s done to uk bb And fb will never be a threat. Just a bunch of average programs. That’s what you get with Barney. . His colleagues see him as weak and while they were going for the jugular he is playing nice towing the line. Barney cal stoops all the longest tenured in the SEC. Might as well given them all lifetime deals.
Look people this clown is not a uk fan. He says we ran bb like an organized crime outfit. Have you not paid attention to who wins in the ncaa? What a joke. What was going on with mumme in the 90s? Fran circi in the 70s? Barney was brought to tame the fb program after the mumme cheating disaster. But now hack there’s no need to cheat. And the revenue Barney generates fell into his lap because of the times. Every corporate bend wants their name on your stadiums. He didn’t do that. He was in the right place at the right tine.
You’re beloved Alabama wouldn’t be what they are today without their severe cheating in the 90s. Just saying.

You have no idea how Barnhart’s colleagues view him, and as for “a bunch of average programs,” UK finished first in the SEC in all sports under Barnhart’s leadership, for the first time in program history.
And your statement that Barnhart doesn’t stand up to anything is especially ludicrous: he starred down the very malevolent and privileged interests that had controlled UK sports for decades.

He’s destroyed the states number one source of pride in the process you loon.
We posted a season with 23 wins, damn near pulled off the regular season SEC title and have a strong recruiting class.
Upsets happen in one-and-done tourneys.
You’ve given up??
OK!!
I will relieve you of your basketball and football tickets!!
BE GONE!!
Upsets happen? Year in and year out. In the sec and the national tourney? Stop dude stop. You sound like a moron. You care about fb and that’s it you made it clear. For me? I can walk and chew gum at the same time meaning I can love both programs. You’re an example and the divisiveness is an example of why our clown ad has to go.
You’ve been *****-slapped on the football forum for creating divisiveness, claiming that a focus on football has damaged basketball.
In your own words: “It’s real simple. He built our fb program from terrible to average at the cost of our championship basketball program.”
Yeah, right, posting that on the football forum is a ingenious idea to create unity.
But you’ve proved, repeatedly that you can walk, chew gum, and stick your foot in your mouth simultaneously.
And as I expected, you have no season tickets to surrender.
