"Cousins needs to find a good Dentist when he lands on his first NBA team, because somebody is gonna knock his teeth down his throat. I got news for Big Cuz, there are some guys in that league that will stomp an Industrial sized Mudhole in his a$$ and walk it dry. He'll catch on pretty quick."

I'd think it'd be safe to say that Cousins may take as good as he gives. He's 19...still growing..LOL~And he rolls around on the floor more than any other big man I've ever seen. He looks like Wojohowski(?) diving for the ball.

I'm just looking forward to Feb 13'th...ESPN Game Day in Lexington, Ky for the Tenn/UK game with Bobby Knight in the booth....He's going to get wore out all day...GameDay starts at noon and the UK game is at 9PM////

He may very well be a tough Son of a Gun I don't doubt that but I would still pay to see him get his ass kicked, and guarantee ya there is somebody out there that can do it.

"DeMarcus Cousins has took cheap shots in every game since UL and nary a negative response,sounds like sour grapes to me. "

There's a few here at work that noticed the same thing. Seems all the other teams since have made it a point to bump, grab, ect....a little more than ususal. Ref's seem to be letting them play it out as long as it doesn't turn confrontational.It's good for him. Make him really keep his temper in check and show him how to use that to his advantage. Grow him up a little.

The knee was NOT intentional, but we, as fans, only see the after math. We weren't on the floor at that moment....LOL!!!! That highlight will be shown for a long time to come.

UK....ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

Billy I gotta give you some credit, you are the first UK guy that I have heard yet say they didn't think that knee was on purpose.

It's no mystery I don't like Cousins but he is a heck of a ball player. Your right he has earned a reputation and is getting tested I will admit that as I watch most all of the Cats games. I also will admit I'm surprised he hasn't went OJ on somebody yet to. Maybe the young fella has more restraint than I've been giving him credit for.

Go Cards.

Delk pushed Bledsoe into Samardo Samuels,as far as the Cousins/Swopshire thing,you can thank the officials for not calling jump ball sooner,you don't let players roll around for 30 seconds like that.
I heard what was coming out of your little angels mouths and I didn't appreciate my 10 year old hearing it,do you have that on your little misinterpreted tape? I guess what the UL players were saying to Villanova's players was all Sunday School talk too?
Blab about your big bad RPI all you want,we'll see where it ends up at.
Funny but after all the UL crying,they sent the tape to the head of the NCAA Officiating and he said the Game Officials made the CORRECT call.
You can cover for all the Cursing,maybe the bad behavior prior to the game,but how do you ignore the fact that UL's team refused to shake hands before the game,refused to stand for the National Anthem ,they stayed in a huddle saying "We're Bad MFer's" during the National Anthem.
I think Freedom Hall is owned by the state and everybody I know stomps on the Cardinal emblem there,it's not like UL's team was there during a UK practice and it's certainly not the Poor Sportsmanship I witnessed by the UL Angels.

You had me until the full of crap assertation about refusing to stand for the national anthem. I called a friend of mine who was at the game and he said both teams were jawing back and forth before the game. He is a member of the media and said that back by the dressing rooms they were jawing back and forth and that coach Cal told the Cats they better not back down. Does your beloved coach routinely curse players from the other team? Or did he make an exception for Delk?


Wow, Delk pushed Bledsoe into Sosa? Your problem is you see what you want tosee, but not what actually happened. You even have another UK fan on here admitting that the knee was not on purpose, but you cannot take of your blue blinders long enough to see.


Where do you come up with some of the things you post? Do you make it up, or get info from someone else. If U of L sent a tape to the NCAA how come it was not reported by any news media? I seriously doubt it happended and you are losing a lot of credibility with your new allegations.

Who all stomps on the bird? Oh that's right no one but the Kayuts.

What happened with villanova? Please tell me, let me guess, you were at the game. Well I was and didn't see anything happen. Did you make this one up, or did one of your friends come up with this story?

John Adams, the NCAA's chair of officiating, said the officials correctly handled the skirmish in the first minute of Saturday's Kentucky-Louisville game. Technical fouls were assessed to Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins and Louisville's Jared Swopshire and Reginald Delk. At issue was whether Cousins threw a purposeful elbow at Swopshire's head and should have been ejected. UK claims Cousins can be seen taking a knee to the head prior to the elbow.


"[The officials] reviewed the play and assessed an intentional personal foul to Cousins," Adams said. "It was offset by an intentional personal four on a Louisville player and they had a taunting T on another Louisville player. That taunting T resulted in the two free throws that Cousins shot as he was designated by Kentucky to shoot free throws."


As soon as I dig it up I'll post the letter and youtube that a group of Louisville fans sent to the NCAA.

Are you backtracking, or adding your own version here?

What you said was: "Funny but after all the UL crying,they sent the tape to the head of the NCAA Officiating and he said the Game Officials made the CORRECT call."

Nowhere in Andy's story does it say that U of L sent a game tape to the NCAA. It most likely didn't happen because it is not a conference game, or tournament game and in the scope of things makes no difference.

Now you are stating that FANS sent the tape? Do you really think the NCAA would even respond to such a stupid idea as fans sending tapes and lodging complaints? What most likely happend was that Andy or other members of the media contacted the NCAA to ask about the way the game was handled and that is why the statement was made.

You failed to address the other points that I called you out on. Did the Cardinal players stand for the National Anthem or not?

You said: "Delk pushed Bledsoe into Samardo Samuels,as far as the Cousins/Swopshire thing,you can thank the officials for not calling jump ball sooner,you don't let players roll around for 30 seconds like that."

It is obvious from the tape that Delk rubbed Bledsoe off a pick. It would be difficult for him to pus Bledsoe into Samardo if you look at where both players were standing.

The reason the players were on the ground so long is because the ball was loose. Once again, obvious if you watch the tape. Once the ball was tied up, the whistle was blown and then forearm shiver happens.

I would also like to know what you are referring to about the 'nova game? You ignored that as well.
