Scooter, y'all have always been a one sport program, CBB. Now, CBB has been taken away from you. The Vols are top 5 in CFB, C-Baseball, and currently sitting at #2 Kenpom in CBB. There is a good chance you don't make the tourney. I kinda feel sorry for ya.
CBB has been taken away from us? One sport program? Oh ok so I see you’re taking outta your ass again Lulu while trying to look clever. Let’s see your football program has been shit for the last twenty years up until this year. Your baseball team choked last year and got sent home and your basketball team has choked (your words) the last four years because each of those four years it’s been the best team UT has ever had (again your words)! Now as far as UK goes our football team has been to 8 or 9 straight bowl games, our baseball team has had some good years mixed with some bad years, our women’s volleyball team just won a title last year and almost made the final four this year and don’t even get me started on our rifle and cheerleading teams! As far as our basketball team goes they are struggling and we all know you get off on it. I’m sure when UK is losing it’s prolly the only time Mr. Lulu gets hanky panky time. Last years loss to the peacocks is just one of them things that happens in college basketball. Ask other blue bloods! Ask KU, Duke and UNC!!! It happens to all of us. As for the peacocks they went on to beat a few other teams in the tourney that year so it wasn’t just UK. It was their year to have a magical run and we just happen to be in their way. It happens! No excuses here. At one point during the season UK was the title favorite. The year covid messed everything up we was a final four favorite and the season got shut down. Nothing we can do about that. This year we’re struggling and I couldn’t tell you why? It has to come down on the coach but it’s hard to blame everything on him when players aren’t making shots and doing dumb shit on the floor. Good luck this year on making a final four. If Barnes doesn’t do it this year with it being his best team ever then I just don’t see him ever doing it.

That was a lot of wasted words Scooter. Your Volleyball team? You only won two games.😆

Scooter, Blueblood is a made up term and it means nothing. If it did mean something they would probably kick your asses out of it. UT has 6 titles in CFB and as many titles as UK in WCBB. You never hear me go on about it cause it is weak sauce and bad form to do so.

The battle is in the here and now and not in the past. When you try to lean on the past it only highlights your weakness in the present. The present is Saturday Scooter...

As far as the SEC, other than Bama, catching up with UK, UK has declined. Shooting 3-30 from our top three scorers isn't going to win many games if any lol. Bama has elite talent, probably 7 future pro players in all. More talent than we have. UT has good talent and enough to get to the final 4. The last 3 years we've not been a Kentucky team.

We've got talent this year, but they can't shoot worth a darn away from Rupp. And it appears that some are far from coachable. Or it seems that way. They regress during a game especially in away games.

But one thing I don't do is let basketball games determine my level of happiness. I don't have any impact on how they play. I do not worry about things I can't change.

There is one thing I do know, UK is a resilient program and will be back with or without Cal. I'm gaining a lot of respect for other SEC teams now and I'm glad its getting stronger.

I agree UK has talent and I agree that talent has not meshed into a close knit team yet. I think bama and UT are the two best teams in the SEC, but that is not to say either can't be beaten. Anything can happen. Y'all could pull everything together and kick our ass Saturday, Auburn could make a run or UT could forget how to shoot a basketball. All these variables are what make the game fun.

Watching CBB and supporting my team is fun and fun is a form of happiness. Scooter likes to point out that UT has no FF's. I don't give a shit. I enjoy being competitive and winning some big games. This season will play out and we will win what we win. The season will end and it will be time for College baseball. It is nothing but entertainment. Our coach has us highly competitive and that is all I could ask for.

Weak sauce? You brought it up and if it’s all about the here and now then why do you go on and on about how UT has done against UK the last few years? The truth is and everybody on this board knows it is that you time frame to fit your angle. The only reason you’re about the here and now is because UTs basketball program has no history and again everybody knows that. Kentucky has had an off last three years but they ain’t the only one. Duke, UNc, UK and KU have all had less the expected seasons other than KU’s title run. As far as them kicking UK out lol it ain’t happening. The guy at the head of the table isn’t leaving sweetheart. The only two blue bloods I’ve ever seen be borderline is IU and you could say UCLA. Oh and the reason the term blue blood means nothing to you is because you’re not one of them. That’s almost as dumb as you saying teams that make a final four celebrate losing😂

No, you brought it up with your comment about no titles and no FF's. My time frame is the here and now and always has been. I generally keep my comments to the present year. I don't bring up the past and UT has a rich past as an athletic department, much richer than yours. I have never once argued that y'all don't have a rich past in CBB. You interject it into the conversation.

I'm about the here and now because it is the here and now. I don't beat up the UK CFB fans with our history. I tell them like I'm telling you we are going to kick your ass and then let the chips fall where they may. The only reason you would conjure up the past into a conversation about the present is you're weak and needy and insecure. You're not the head of anything. You're team is in disarray and it is 50/50 you even make the tourney. Have you noticed I haven't brought up Barnes/ Cal? It is because I haven't want to rub it in.

Your problem is arrogance. The cure for arrogance is an ass whoopin. I'm hoping we give y'all's second dose of cure this Saturday. I'm sure the bammers dose stung a little and ours will too, but it is for your own good.

I knew you thought this way. Its entertainment and its fun having a team to root for. The sun comes up the next day and life goes on. I used to have really strong passion for UK basketball, but unfortunate life occurrences gave me the proper perspective.

UK basketball is rooted in strong passion. Lonnie Wheeler (RIP) wrote many books on baseball, but he also wrote

Blue Yonder : Kentucky - The United State of Basketball What "Hoosiers" did for Indiana basketball, this perceptive title does for the fantastic culture of basketball in Kentucky. Never before has a book looked so closely into the soul of Kentucky basketball.

Myself and many others gave Lonnie the perspective of why UK fans are so passionate with many stories from eastern ky. Lonnie was awesome and so is his book.

No you care about the here and now because UT is better here and now. Like all UT fans you never cared about UT basketball because they wasn’t any good. Your problem is you think you know more about college basketball than what you actually do. You act like UK is IU and has fallen off the face of the earth. Have we had an off couple years? Yes but like I said we was a final four favorite the year the tourney got cancelled, then we went something like 8-16 but keep in mind every blue blood struggled that year if I remember correctly and then last year we was the one of if not the best team in the country until a few injuries hit and then we lost to the peacocks. This year we have been down so again as bad as you want UK to slide off of blue blood mountain it isn’t happening. I know I’ve told you before and you have a hard time understanding this but I don’t bring up our past traditions and success to say “look what we did”, it’s just a simple reminder that we’ve been good from day one. I like you Lulu but a lot of times you make yourself look bad with your jealousy of UK. UK has dominated UT from the time we started playing. Beating UK means more to you than anything and it’s easy to see. Hell your coach has a two game head to head lead on Cal and you wanna build him a statue.

Haha, you are so arrogant and you just can't help yourself. Well, the cure for arrogance is humility and humility will come in the form of ass whoopins. Therefore, the ass whoopins will continue until further notice. It's for your own good Scooter.🙂

Yeah, if UK or UT win the National Title you or I will not receive another dollar. If both teams lose the rest of their game it will cost us nothing. The real meaning of life is about family and friends.

Telling the truth isn’t arrogance! Now coming out of the wood running about how your team is taking over the world once they put together a nice season is arrogance. I don’t remember seeing you on here until UT started doing good. Wonder why?

The truth is y'all suck and you've sucked for longer than "a couple of years". The truth is you're only as good as your record year to day and you don't get to past date wins from decades ago to sooth your injured ego.

Do you remember Long strange trip?
 
Also I’m not arrogant. I have no problem telling it like it is and that might come across as arrogant to you because you seem a little sensitive but I can’t help that. Kentucky has dominated UT in our rivalry over the years and the numbers show that. Saying that, UT has got the better of UK (by two games) since Barnes has arrived and I give him credit. I like him! I don’t remind you about UK’s dominance over UT to brag about it. Beating UT isn’t something many teams other than Vandy and South Carolina and other bottom feeders go around bragging about. It’s almost like UT has had a few improved years and you want to be looked at as a blue blood (we know blue blood is stupid to you just like final fours😂) but you haven’t done anything to get that kinda respect. Hell even South Carolina has a final four. Has Kentucky slipped the last few years? Yes! But UNc, Duke and even KU hasn’t really had normal years besides the KU title last year but let’s not act like each of those teams are in the IU category. I know UK struggling makes you happy but don’t count on it staying that way and as far as this Saturday goes you better be scared. Cals coming to Knoxville and he’s bringing hell with him!!!😈

Well if that’s the case you’re saying UT has sucked or do you only mean it like that when it comes to UK? I’m going over my notes and I’m not seeing any UT final fours or NCAA titles?

You're arrogant, you can't accept the new world order. So, you're in denial and attempt to use UK's past as an antidote to UK's weak present. It doesn't work that way though. Every year stands on it's own. If our roles were reversed, you'd be talking about how UK is a lock for a 1 seed and that you'll be pissed with anything lower that a FF. I have never done that. I take it game to game and will be nervous when we tip off against Vandy Tuesday.

Regarding Barnes, yeah he has the head to head lead over Cal, but you fail to take into account that Cal had the advantage of having an established team to face Barnes year one and two team which was depleted. It is remarkable what Barnes has done in such a short time. It is also remarkable what Cal has let slip through his fingers this year. Y'all have the defending player of the year return from last year on your team. You know how many times that has happened in history? 3 times is all. You have a pair of Mickey D All Americas, you have a 2 time assist leader, and you have the 3pt % leader form 2 years ago and yet you suck. You have the talent to surpass UT, but don't count on it on the court.

Judgement is coming Scooter and it is going to be Hell for UK...

Also since you’re about the here and now LuLu and you like that kinda stuff just looking at the numbers Barnes is 150-81 and Cal is 175-62. What’s so scary about Barnes again???

Truthfully I don’t consider MOST of our players as UK material. Ware, Collins, wheeler, Frederick? These guys are probably more Western KY/Murray St talent level. When I think of UK level talent I think about AD, Wall, KAT, Gilchrist, Fox, Monk, etc.

You would know more than I, but from the outside looking in y'all look undisciplined. I watched a game and they said Oscar had been hurt and he didn't know what to do because he hasn't practiced. I thought, where has he been? Playing video? He should have been watching and learning, its not like he is a freshman. He should know what to do.

I don't want to make a comparison here, but if you do stupid shit at UT, Barnes will have your hyde and make no bones about it. The players know it and respect it.

That seems to be missing at UK.

Ultimately it boils down to Cal not doing what’s best for the program. He does what’s best for individuals - which would likely be more effective if he did what was best for the program.
 
I love the nicknames they gave each other. Scooter & Lulu. Hilarious.
It would be more fun if she could come up with her own ideas instead of copying everything I do. I started asking her about old VHS tapes of Manning and then I gave her a nickname (Deller) and she came right behind me doing the same thing.

That is because you are the aggressor and I'm just the defender. Besides, I started calling you Scottie, but you didn't like it so I switched it to Scooter.

Kentucky’s defense leaves a lot to be desired. As in…..it’s really bad. I don’t know how you can have the kind of athleticism they have and not have at least a competent defense.

Cal would be better off if he went back to recruiting dudes with 7’ wingspans but no offensive game. Those teams may have been offensively incompetent at times but at least they were tough to score on and that alone was enough to win most of their games.
 
@della

Unfortunately USCjr took a few bites out of Knoxville’s sandwich tonight. I think y’all can probably still manage to scrape together some enjoyment out of beating “UK” this weekend though. I wouldn’t blame you for being mad at USCjr either. It’s never as fun pummeling an opponent that’s not afraid to die anymore.

Good for them and good for their program. I just want to win and by 1 point will be fine.
