So, Cal's whining and crying and playing defense on the sideline was just a show, because he really did throw the game?

This thread is pure gold. It didn't age well for some of the posters here. 
Present company excluded Kentucky basketball fans are the alabama football fans of basketball.
Well , you quoted my post of a quote from a Ky message board where it was stated that he did, so what was I supposed to think you meantNot even close to the point, but I like your imagination!

Nah, I was just saying it ain't the end of the world. You can still go on and win it all. If we don't fix a couple things, we don't have a prayer. Plus a good natured jab!Well , you quoted my post of a quote from a Ky message board where it was stated that he did, so what was I supposed to think you meant
It's all in good fun. My buddies and I do this everyday at work. One is a Kansas fan and another loves Duke. Can you imagine?!

Well… maybe.
. I do love my Cats. Just grew up that way. But yeah, I admit, we do have some high expectations. I try not to be obnoxious as a rule, but jawing was pretty fun today.Yeah, and it caused me to throw up in my mouth
!Barnes knock is lack of post season success, so while a W tomorrow would be nice, he really needs to make a deep run in the tournament to get that monkey off of his back.
BTW, anybody else have to mute the TV because of Jimmy Dykes? Dude thinks he has to constantly come up with something cute to say.

Barnes is a top notch coach. Not a knock on anyone whatsoever, but he gets a lot from players who probably would never have produced like they do for him. Postseason has been his Achilles, but a great coach nonetheless.Yeah, and it caused me to throw up in my mouth

Are you talking to me?!This thread is pure gold. It didn't age well for some of the posters here.
Expectations are high!!! UK is not for everyone. I mean the winningest coach in college basketball the last 12yrs stays in the hot seat. However Saban is the GOAT of college football coaching. Cal and Saban are the Gold Standard.
Well you can give your Duke buddy crap because they just got hammered in the ACC championship by Virginia Tech.
I am a born and bred Kansas fan so don't hammer on him too bad. That is part of the fun of sports though. Giving each other trouble when your team beats theirs. I was raised in Missouri and used to hear it every time Kansas lost. It is all a lot of fun if no one gets butt hurt over the ribbing..

I am a college basketball fan, I've watched every single game of this tournament... and tons over the season for years. I've not said anything untrue.
I didn't even care if UT played KY in the tournament lol....IF you go back and look I wanted Vandy to knock Kentucky out. Then the KY fans jumped on me for saying I was scared to see the vols play KY. Really...No its because I don't care about kY or if they played them again this year. Not because I was scared of a team the vols have owned for like 7 stright years.
BTW I was wrong about one thing UT played 5 true freshman to beat them scary cats not 4
Have a good day

High expectations don't have to mean obnoxious behavior. And I'm not talking about anyone on this thread. Just Kentucky fans in general. I see you talking about Kentucky basketball with a bunch of Tennessee fans on Fakebook and you are never obnoxious. No offense, but when a state has one successful thing to support (i.e. Kentucky basketball and alabama football) people tend to go overboard. The great state of Tennessee has the Titans, Predators, Tennessee football, basketball, and baseball, Lady Vols basketball and softball, Memphis Redbirds, etc.

Partially true. Saban is the gold standard of college football coaching, with 7 National Championships in 28 years as a head coach. Calamari has ONE National championship in 34 years as a head coach. One of these things is not like the other.
Let's not forget about your 6yr guy(Fulkerson) and your formerly paid professional (Vescovi) y'all might of played 5 true freshman during the game but let's not act like they single-handedly beat UK. Chandler and Hatfield have bright futures BUT if we hit 3 more 3ptrs we win the game!!!! Congrats to UT they played their best and beat us at our worst!!I am a college basketball fan, I've watched every single game of this tournament... and tons over the season for years.

BTW: I'm not advocating moral victories, so yeah Im still pissed we lost. I drove to Lexington last night to put the FOR SALE sign in Cal's yard… lol
Statements like this are why Kentucky basketball fans are the alabama football fans of basketball!
Do
Yeah Cal definitely is not the gold standard. Especially with all the vacated wins at memphis.
