    Cats / Bama

    Well Im licking my wounds a litttle from last nights lost to Alabama;...out of all the SEC schools, that's my favorite for some reason...you know...the one I'd realy like for the Cats to just claw all over...but that didn't happen last night. Im not to overly upset about it...missing shots for the charity stripe...now that gets me fired up!!...We do have to realize folks...that playing on the road in the SEC is real tough...especially with three starting freshmen, mistakes will be made...and especially on the road..and down the stretch of a very tight game...maybe tight isn't the word for it...yet the cats did claw back into the game. Strange as it seems...I knew they would...get back into the game for a chance to win...and they did that; that was good to see that they can get in and "fight" back. Boy coach Cal was sure giving Jones a ear full most of the night; it looked to me that coach Cal was saying some real "fired-up" talk strait in their faces...more than I have ever seen from coach Cal, and maybe than I ever have from any UK coach! I often wonder...how the players take that...Im sure there are some that don't respond well to it. I know this though...Liggins is one hell of a basketball player...on "D"...or scoring points. I saw something in him last night to says this..."there is more to come in my game, in the very near future"!! There is going to be a learning curve with this team, these freshmen will come on strong, playing these tough road games will strengthen are hand for March....We still have to play FL. twice and Tenn. twice..the Game Cocks! So UK will have much more to deal with...this is going to be great...the SEC is strong...Bama would have given anybody a game last night. They hit 7-out of 13 three pointers in the first half!! Great game...for Bama

    The SEC is strong, you have got to be kidding me, I wasn't going to say anything, but that was funny. There are a couple of dangerous teams in the league this year and Kentucky is one of them but the SEC is anything but strong this year dude, I mean seriously. Bama played waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over their head last night kinda like you guys did in the Yum. You still going with that Elite 8 apprearance.........

    Bama played with a level of hustle and enthusiasm that was awesome....similar to the way they played against Arkansas, but they ended up loosing that one. Kentucky came on a little too late. Another couple of minutes and we would have crashed their party, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

    All I care about this year is that Kentucky is playing well come NCAA tournament time and we make a run. Like last night, it looks like we will take some lumps along the way. This aint the Wall-Cousins-Bledsoe-Patterson show anymore...

    I wouldn't call the SEC a powerhouse conference this year, nothing akin to the Big East right now for quality and quantity, but there are some strong teams that can ball...

    Re: Cats / Bama

    Tennessee is an Enigma, one night they can beat the Miami Heat the next night Lexington Catholic could take them. Florida is the same way. Vandy is a solid team, and Georgia is a good squad as well. After that for me it's a struggle to make a case for many SEC teams other than Kentucky which can be very very good and can also lay a big fat egg. Is it me or is there some Pouting going on on that team right now. Jones looks like somebody just took his McDonalds toy out of his happy meal to me. Calapari was doing alot of barking last night, pretty mean spirited to and I'm fine with that. However I'm not sure a couple of Ego's on that team quite know how to take that tough love and Jones is first on the list. Calapari may actually have to do some coaching this year. If Kentucky is struggling this hard in the SEC on the road I don't see them going deep at all in the tourney. That is not hate or smack talk it's just a basketball opinion and observation.

    That was a Hell of a comeback though and had they pulled it off it would have been spectacular, but give credit to comeback on the road down 20, that was really something.

    I can't believe Cal was cursing at his players like that. Wow. Big topic on the local sports call in shows.

    I thought Jones reactions to Cal was disrespectful at times. I'm really not convinced that Jones has his head on straight in some of these games and it does take a coach to jump in a players grill.

    Yeah I wouldn't say the SEC is strong either. It's not weak but it's down from years ago when the Gators took two straight Championships. Just thought I would toss that in for ya! Plus the football team won the championship the same year...another little tidbit for ya....I'm just saying.

    Now I didn't say the league was a "power house", mhall..or a league of their own??...Im just saying it's strong; maybe more than most will give credit ...at this time...
    Im very 100% sure that the league is anything NOT to laugh about, in my opionion;.. especially if playing on any of their home courts. And also...mhall, I don't think UK played "over their heads"...at the YUM...just an over all solid game from tip to finish. Granted the SEC...it's stonger than maybe the Big East...this year...
    But most of the teams in the SEC EAST...can just about take on all on-comers, for a good game to the finish! FL. / Georga / KY. / Tenn. / S.C. / Vandy...any of these schools can beat ya on any given Sat.! Bama...Ark.,...Miss St...even these three in the WEST can be right in your face against anybody. Don't be so quick to write any of these schools off....So when it comes time to pick your march madness teams...give it some thought. I'd say you will see a few SEC teams go down the stretch futher than most might think. Just saying...
    and yes, to answer your question...those 8 picks of mine...I picked before the season even started...Im sticking with them...see how close I come when there are only 8 left standing... UK will be one that will....you can be sure about that

    Anybody listen to the Joe B and Denny Show today. A guy called in and said that the had a paper from Al (don't know where) but the story of the basketball game was on the 3rd page. It was all football on the front page. Talking mostly about recruits.

    That shows where most fan bases are in the SEC, football.

    You know..that is what I thought...could have sworn that I read coach Cal's lips, and it lookes like he said "F-you" to Jones last night...and "F-off", as Jones was walking back on the floor???...I was shocked big time. Never have I heard a coach say F-off...or F-you!!! That blew me away? And I've been around coaches all my life; just something you should never say...to anybody...I know I don't like it.
