Pretty good article......
He has some interesting ideas........I don't think the NCAA will be gone though.

Pretty straight forward and candid. Good to hear him say Orton and Bledsoe were not one and doners even though they got drafted in the first round.
I will take "The Big Dance" for 2000, Alex,
"This team won 39 of 40 games in the 2011-2012 College Basketball including the SEC Regular and Post Season titles as well as the 2012 National Title?
Who is Kentucky Wildcats, RIGHT

I certainly hope not. UK fans are already annoying enough as it is.......that would just take it to a whole new level......

So Woody.....how mad are you going to be if UK doesn't win it all this year. I really believe there is no reason for them not to.
They have all the weapons and some serious players. My only concern as I've stated lately is that the SEC is not very strong this year and I wonder if a sleeper can come in and beat UK. I don't know......

I will tell you this.......if UK is in the final game......as long as it is NOT against Indiana or another Big 10 team that I like.....I will be rootin for them. It is unfortunate that the majority of UK fans could not root for anyone but UK.
Me personally.......I like to watch GREAT basketball.......and there is soon to be some REALLY GREAT BASKETBALL......
Hell Most UK fans.......IF UK is not in the final game will be bitching until the NEXT dance about how they were robbed of this or robbed of that or how they are STILL the best team since Naismith created the **** game, and EVEN though they didn't win, they ARE still the best team EVER and by proclaimation.......win by default because they are the great KY.

The SEC is not a very good conference, I have said this before here. But it is not like Kentucky skimmed by and barely won the conference. 16-0 with 13 of the 16 victories by 9 points or more. Kentucky leads the Country in Field Goal Defense and is 7th in the Country in Field Goal Percentage. 18th in the Country in both Scoring and Rebounding makes them one of the most complete teams in America. Add in the Player of the Year in Davis, Defensive Stopper Do It All MKG, Senior leadership in Miller, Final Four Experience in Miller, Lamb and Jones, outside shooting of Miller, Lamb and Wiltjer and the fact that Jones has come to play the past month and this team is not like the past 2 teams. This team is head and shoulders above the past 2 teams and yes I believe this team is going to win the National Title this year. But it is just my opinion. I do think they are battle tested in that Teague, Davis and MKG have played enough minutes this year to be Sophomores. Games against Kansas, Louisville, North Carolina, Indiana, at Vandy, at Mississippi State, at Florida were all games that have prepared them for the tourney. Add this to the best Top 6 in America and you have the recipe for NCAA Title #8. Again, just my opinion

Me too George.. I love to watch basketball....sometimes I can't really tell which team to root for until I'm watching the game.....
2 teams I will never root for....ever....Duke....Blowhio State...
This UK team is special. Charisma is their ticket over talent. Davis's ability to set an example as a freshmen in a senoir's mindset is what basketball is all about. If Cousins had 1/3 of the brains about basketball and sportsmanship that Davis has it's untelling what kind of impact he could have had on college basketball.
Will they win it all...we will see. I hope they do for Millers sake. One of the Ky's own from Maysville. I like to see instate players achieve, no matter what jersey they wear. I remember another player that resides not far from me named Preston Knowles....I rooted for him also..and, as we all know, he had a redbird on his jersey.....
I have heard alot of what I read on some of his shows. He makes alot of sense and so far has proven to be straight up and playing by the rules. I hope it stays that way. :)
Tons of folks are waiting for him to stumble. I guess I have sipped the kool aid because I hope he is as good and straightforward as he sounds.
