Clown Team '23-'24 Edition

That perfectly describes the mountain UT has to climb to catch UK.
Let's pretend that UK/UT are NASCAR teams (Team Barnes and Team Cal) Team Barnes is leading the 23-24 year points total and Team Cal is just trying not to get lapped.

Nope Team Barnes blows a front right tire hitting the wall and don't finish the final laps, finishing out of the points battle in the playoffs. 😜
You sure about that? In the early laps UK hit a Kansas on the track and blew a 14 pt lead under the hood. Y'all had to hobble into the pits and get that 14pt lead fixed. Barnes is currently in the lead lap with the leaders. (aka Maui).

Blow out is coming, hate to tell yaw. 😉

Time-framing only works if you win something of merit.
UK has 4 FF's and a title. Check mate my dear.
 
That is probably because y'all are driving on Hoosier tires. Don't say I didn't warn ya.
Nah, we're rolling on some rather large Nitto Grapplers.

Barnes is ahead of Cal mano e' mano. Stating times before Barnes arrival is improper time framing.
 
Maybe, but you seem to have chosen to compete exclusively on Go-cart tracks so far this year.
Well, just don't go into hiding when that go cart rolls right through UT three times this year.

Did y'all really think you were fooling anyone when you scheduled Stonehill for your little tourney? Yeah, stones are hard as minerals, but that doesn't translate to CBB and everyone knows that.

Barnes was coaching during Cal's entire Kentucky tenure. His accomplishments at Texas and Tennessee from 2009-2023, are very much the same.

UK doesn’t care about regular season accomplishments, we care about tournament success. UT fans can't play on that stage my dear.

It's a good thing you don't care about regular season accomplishments and it looks like your interest in post season is waning too.

LOL, y'all have Leann Rhymes, Tarleton state, Wofford, Tennessee tech and Georgia Southern on your schedule.

But, we didn't set up a special tournament up to play them in.

Eh, that’s okay, every program goes through lulls, UK has had fewer lulls than everyone else though. They have the most wins in the history of the sport, have the most SEC regular season championships (nobody has even half as many) and the most SECT titles (again, nobody has even half as many).

Barnes is having a good run at UT, but he's never going to reach a FF. Kevin Durant isn't there to carry him on his shoulders.

Don't worry, Cal isn't winning another title either.

Eh, it's just words, you can call it whatever you want. It’s a round robin.
It becomes funny if UK loses to one of those cupcakes though.

Philosophically, we have two different ways of looking at things. I focus on the here and now and UK fans focus on the past. I do this for all sports even the one's our past is pretty formidable.

I didn't name it, y'all did. Yeah, it would be hilarious. There is no other school fans that group mourn like UK fans with the exception of UGA. If we manage to somehow beat them (CFB) today it will be crazy over there.

Yeah, I'll be tuned in to watch that UT v UGA game today. Should be a good one.

As far as the little tournament UK is putting on, is what it is, it's still college and the other schools in it, get to play in Rupp Arena and get a huge check. If UK goes on a long NCAAT run, nobody is going to care about who they played in November.

Same stuff, different year... why stick with this ish after the brooming?
You're right, it is the same stuff year after year because Barnes has held the edge on Cal for some time now. Isn't it amazing that Cal could upset the Vols twice and still not tie it up?

It looks more like you just say the same stuff each year and hope that you wind up correct. You missed that mark last season... twice. The gap you keeping harping on is very slim.

The key takeaways are that I am correct and th gap continues.

Someone once told me (by once, I mean about 6,000 times) that timeframing is a loser's argument. Can't remember who it was...
Again, pipe down, junior. This doesn't concern you. If you would pay attention, you'd see that the person I'm talking to only understands/accepts the Barnes era at UT because 77-160 is just one of those damned facts that get in her way.

Okay, senior. Make sure to keep your hypocritical little interjections to yourself from now on as well, yeah? All righty then.
