Those would be
The lineup of Goins, Pearl, Tatum, Hall, and Prince. No offensive ability with those 5 on the floor at the same time.
Why would you want the TV and the stereo on at the same time?
'Cause I like to party.
I hope they play with a chip on their shoulders
and the officials actually let them.

Left a game for tacos when they were down 22 to Bama, and they came back to win. Now we joke if it’s “Taco” time (i.e. time to go get tacos instead of watching us suck).

Question....
Why am I supposed to care that Ashley Judd likes UK, excuse me, UK basketball?
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." A. Bartlett Giamatti
But she's just ok
by today’s standards. Talking about her liking UK is like reminding us that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit.

Damarcus Cousins made the Old Spice Man commercial, apparently.
At least per the ABC announcers.

This is just now the under 8 timeout

Whatever happened to the “enforcer”
With Cousin’s attitude, I’d have Pearl smacking him in the [secrets] on a regular basis… but then again, im an [fulmerized].

Where did the whole "likeable" mem for Cousins come from?
I’ve never heard that before today, and today’s it’s like ten times.
At least they're not saying "Likeable Calipari"
Because everyone knows that’s not true.

No call?
(fulmerizer) Coach Cal. "Win by 25. "
Hilarious sequence by Cousins there.
He got “injured”, started rolling around on the ground trying to draw a foul ….. until the turnover, at which point he got up and started running down – fully healthy – to try and defend. Thought I was watching Serie A for a moment.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
I will enjoy watching Cousins...
the first time he runs into Ben Wallace, or Shaquille O’Neal.
Just think how sweet it'll be...
…when NCAA sanctions force UK to forfeit all these games retroactively.
So Sayth King Zach I
The definition of insanity...
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results – Albert Einstein
The only place he’s been a head coach at that hasn’t got into big trouble was in the NBA…
Kentucky fans are deluding themselves if they think he just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time, twice… I can think of three instances in Division 1 sports that resulted in vacated wins, and Calipari was coaching when two happened.
Enjoy watching Kentucky boosters run wild, while Calipari intentionally looks the other way.
Not totally sure I agree with that.
I mean, it wasn’t exactly a flow-of-the-game thing, but there was definitely some selling on Cousin’s part.

Quinn Canningham for Club Trillion!
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
i think the team is too tired to play with a team like kentucky
and when we’re not a great shooting team to begin with, it onlly gets worse when you are tired
So:
There was a 3-4 minute stretch where Kentucky got 6 or 7 fouls called on them in a row.
Aside from that (yeah, I know), the fouls are 21-9 Tennessee.

Could you imagine the heat...
we’d be getting if Pearl said he wanted to win by 25, and was shooting threes with a 21 point lead?
Embarrassing effort
but weeshould still be a solid 4 seed in the tourney
AShely Judd so annoying

Watching the last KY game on DVR
There. We just went on an 18-0 run. I feel much better.
We were
TOTALY OUT-MUSCLED! TOTALY!! Pathetic!!
A couple of factors, I think
Now that I’ve cooled down. One, they hit their threes. We’ve been saying it for a long time — if Kentucky can hit the three, who can beat them?
Two, we played a tough game (our fault, well that and the seeding system) on Thursday. 3rd game in 3 days vs. 2nd game in 2 days against a talented and motivated team who suddenly overcame its only weakness. That spells trouble.
KY penetrated - didn't rely on the 3
and we played completely undisciplined [can’t call it basketball – insert word of choice here] – it was like the Pajamas Disease spread to the entire team.
After 16-15, it was really time to go do something else.
5 seed, anyone?
i completely agree
it was a perfect storm.
I hope this loss isn’t completely blown out of proportion. We won’t have to play under such circumstances in the NCAA tournament.
Well
This will be the only game the selection committee will consider in determining our seed. We’re delusional if we think that bunch of crackheads is going to give us a 4; we’ll be lucky to get a 5, and I’m saying we get a 6. Not saying that’s what we deserve, but that’s what’s going to happen.

look who's being negative! ha :P
I think we will get a 4, but honestly, a 5 isn’t much different. There is a large group of teams in that same range, they are all about the same. But we do want MSU to beat Vandy today. Go Dawgs
Yeah, I know. ;-)
Not really characteristic, but I just don’t have any confidence in that bunch to do the right thing by us. Plus I’m feeling a little, I don’t know, “out of sorts” is a nice way of putting it, right at the moment.

Also, everyone help me decide....
Which would be better? Kentucky crashes and burns early in the NCAA tournament, causing Big Blue Nation to have a crisis of massive proportions, or they make it the Final Four, maybe even the championship game (not winning of course, there are limits to my generosity) only to have the Squid hit the Trifecta and have another one vacated. Both have their merits….
Right now, I’ll pull for Mississippi State to beat Vandy, then upset UK. That would just be fun.

Yeah...
but I’m thinking the vacated Final Four is a much more realistic goal. Think about what I just said. It’s true, and it’s amazing that it’s true.
