Don't worry about the haters, they are king, they think their team could beat the Lakers. It's laughable sometimes. If Ky had to play a Big East schedule this year they would have 6 or 7 losses I'd bet the bank on it. They won't win a championship with Calapari and that is all the SALT in the wounds I need, lol.

"Justice may go OJ on UK since Cheatapari basically laughed about recruiting him when asked. Justice was Kentucky Mr. Basketball and Payaplayerpari scoffed at him. I'd laugh my rear off if he lit UK up for 20......."

I'm so glad Justice didn't go OJ on us and even though he didn't score in the 2 minutes Pitino chose to play him, he did get 1 rebound. Last year Card fans were saying that Siva was better than John Wall too. LOL. It's obvious that Pitino doesn't think much of Justice either or he would have played him more.
If you have any data to back up the accusations that Calipari cheats or pays players I'm sure the world would love to see it. Where I work we have a saying: In God We Trust; All Others Bring Data.
And in closing I would like to point out that is the Cardinal fans that have the open wound and no salt is needed. Your wound opens wider and bleeds more everytime you open your mouth.

Have a great day and A Happy New Year

demondan , look at your guy here shaggy , not obnoxious ??? get for real. there is good and bad with all fans but IMO UK fans are all about letting everyone know they are the best and in reallity thats not true and hasnt been true for quite a while. had the best team in college ball last year and guess what ? still couldnt get it done. as far as thugs go , with callapari you will have your fair share of that as well. i will have a great new year , basketball doesnt consume my life and neither does UofL or UK BS

Basketball doesnt consume my life and neither does UofL or UK BS

Amen...

[demodan]

Don't think you will see to many "thugs" playing for UK basketball team. And when you make it to the final 4; regardless of how great you are...or your team is....in collage B-ball...it could be anybodys game at that point. UK basketball doesn't consume my life either...but it is a big part of it..like fishing..hunting..you know..all in good fun. But it does make my day when they win!

[Shaggy]

Well said demodan, I too am not "consumed with Kentucky Basketball" but also love to watch them play. Bassking I responded to your comments about me being obnoxious in a post that I must assume got removed. I have no idea what I said that was offensive. (I wish the administrators would email us to let us know what we did wrong). Maybe they're Louisville fans too, who knows. Anyway, you seem confused. In one sentence you say:

"UK fans are all about letting everyone know they are the best and in reallity thats not true and hasnt been true for quite a while."

And in the very next sentence you say:

"had the best team in college ball last year"

My question to you is: What do you consider "quite a while"?

I'm a die hard True Blue fan, but I will have to agree with something MHall said......If UK played in the Big East we would have a few more losses than we will playing in the weak SEC this year....UofL schedules a weak nonconference schedule so their record looks good to the tournament selection committe..If you switched Uk and UofL's nonconference schedules UofL would conceivably be looking at 4 losses right now instead of one (Washington, UConn, North Carolina, Notre Dame) and UK would probably be undefeated and ranked in the top 5 in the country....I don't think UK has the talent to make a deep run in the tournament this year, maybe a Sweet 16....UofL will probaly struggle to make the tournament unless they pull off a couple big wins in the Big East at which they will have several chances....The only thing that gets me about the UofL fans is how they talk the game up every single year and when they lose talk about how they didn't really expect to win anyway....All fans have a tendancy to be obnoxious at some point and thats what fuels these rivalries....If UofL was going to upset a Cal coached Cats team this was probably their best opportunity for ahwile...and with all this thug talk has anybody looked at UK"s team this year.....please point out the "thug" on this team.....Brandon Knight is one the top scholar athletes in the country...the guy almost classified as a sophmore when he walked on campus because of the credit hours he earned while in high school.....One other thing before I go...If Selby had chosen UK over Kansas how many UofL fans would be running their mouth about "Cheatapari" right now....but he didn't and I haven't heard a single Card fan mention his name

[mhall]

Who this year has called any player on Kentucky's team a thug??? I have openly siad several times what a good kid Knight is, very likable young man. Jones I'm not crazy about but he's not a punk. Now last year is a different story Cousins was a first rate thug and has proven me right in the NBA. Look up all the trouble he has stirred up since he's been up there. It's your boys, Demondan and Shuggy that have thrown the most mud, take them rose colored glasses off and smell the coffee.

I won the bet here at work, I had Kentucky picked to win and with Buckles out it was a no brainer. Why don't you UK guys worry about your own team and quit worrying about Louisville. BTW just a very very short time ago when the drunk was coaching your team you guys were all hiding under rocks, now you are all beating your chests like a horny Siverback Gorilla, lol, too funny.

OH and btw, certain losses to UNC, Wash, UConn and Notre Dame, you don't know that and neither do I that whole deal is BS conjecture. Second round your Kittens go home after playing in that High School league you will not be ready. Third round tops and that's only because of seeding and media being attached to your jock 24/7.

Get a dictionary Mark....I said they would conceivably have 4 losses.....Which means they could possibly have 4 losses.....I didn't say they would certainly have 4 losses....Go back and reread the post....I'm not arguing with the fact that UK might be defeated in the second round and I'm fairly sure the sweet 16 will be the end of the line....I also agree that Cousins was 100% thug....never argued that point....Look at Lvilles team....guys all tat'd up and you're calling UK the thugs....I also agree that some of the top ranked high school teams could compete in the SEC...All the points you tried to make were things that I completely agreed with....You want to bash UK but when somebody takes a small shot at your Cards you feel the need to stick that chest out....It goes both ways fella

Nobody chest pumping FELLA as you say but I can if you wish......BTW do you tell your GOOD buddy Preston Knowles how you sit on here and run his team down all the time. And one more time, I have not been bashing UK players this year, show me a post where I did it. Tat'ed up good Lord man the entire NCAA is Tat'ed up, does that really make them bad kids????????

A small shot at my Cards, really.........really, lol. Man that's all I've heard since this year started and I'm frickin sick of it, it gets old after awhile, figured I could be honery to, some people say I excell at it, lol.

[psprowler]

??? are you serious ??? i have a facebook inbox full of BS from every UK fan i know , 76 text messages from UK fans i know and work with , that the most unrealistic statement ive heard about the difference in UK and UofL fans. every cat fan ive ever met and ran into has a smart a$$ comment about how much better UK is and always will be.

you can ask any NCAA fan no matter what team they root for and they will tell ya UK has some of the most obnxious and poorest sportsmanship fan base around.

Man I don't get 76 text messages a month and don't even have a facebook account. I can't imagine how annoying that would be to open up 76 messages talking smack about a basketball game.

That's hard work being a die hard fan!

My good buddy Preston Knowles?....Please enlighten me on that one....He's a helluva player but I don't guess we're on a personal level....Some guys have been bashing your Cards, I really haven't....I've actually agreed with most things you've said...I even agree about the excelling at being honery part haha....

Sorry for the get a dictionary thing....just gotta lil fired up and it was uncalled for
