This might make sense if we were yapping in a thread started by a Vol coming at UK, but we are not, are we Jeffy?
On this day 16 years ago Kentucky and Tennessee

You know I'm a big Della fan and I yank your chain every once in a while and I love how you fight to the bitter end, but wow, this is a baaaad look. Come on now.
Barnes and that team wanted that game, there's no way they gave less than 100% in that game, especially with a #1 seed on the line.
We stomped you at Rupp and it was dbl digits JC. I suppose we can refer to that as Stomp UK at Rupp day henceforth.
I don't see how or why your fiduring miles per gallon, Kev, but you be you.
They did need the win. They had a tough battle with SCAR and Auburn as I recall. You might just call them Vols, but I call them SEC Champions!
It's not like you can call them any other champions.
That was mean. I apologize.
Some teams are just toads. Like gypsies with no home. Just want to steal others thunder.
I remember this game; doesn't seem like it was that long ago. Kinda pisses me off that is has been 16 years.
Flame thread???? Poor Lou Lou, everybody is out to get her.😂 Stop crying all the time! Yesterday was the anniversary of the “Meeks is still open” game and it got me to wondering about other teams that might have had players go off. I have years and years of beat downs against UT that I could post daily if I was trying to flame you Lou Lou.
And then there’s this!!!😂😂😂How sure are you?
Don’t use common sense with Lou Lou, she’s blinded by everybody’s jealousy of UT’s non tradition/final four ass!😂
Wonder why she hates the past so much? Is it because she don’t like remembering all those UK beat downs UT took or because Tennessee doesn’t have a past worth a shit?
Now I’m Flaming Lou Lou!!!😘
I gave you a counter balance as it happened in the same year. You may not like it, but it is legit nonetheless.
Kicked your ass in Rupp and we will kick your ass again this year. You can't get by the first round in the tourney and this is not a fluke, you've been mauled by the grizzlies and spiked by the peacocks. A long time ago y'all were elite, but lately you are not. Other SEC programs have passed you by.
Have you not been watching? The problem UK had is now running Arkansas' program into the gutter.
Gonna be a long time before any other SEC team can come close to matching UK's accomplishments in said conference. Neither you nor I will be alive to see that happen.
Maybe, Pope is the answer to your prayers. The odds are he is not, because your prayers are championships every year. CBB has changed, lots of programs are embracing it and investing into it.
Rupp, Hall, Pitino, Smith, Calipari have all done it at UK. It ain't just about the coach.
You just got through saying it was the coach, Cal. Used to be only a few programs invested in CBB. That is not the case now.
Program > coach.
No other program has won titles under 5 different coaches. You were counting Pope's chances of being the 6th to do it out. Not wise.
However, programs are much more invested into CBB. That makes UK less special and more the norm.
Age-old tradition over new money.
"Hey, let's get into this game called basketball and not win shit."
"Hey, let's get into this game called basketball and not win shit."
Investing doesn't always equate to success. Just look at Arky. It doesn't necessarily help any program leapfrog those of longstanding tradition that are among the top 5 programs of all time either.
Yet your program has had its “BEST TEAM EVER” each of the last 5 years (this makes 6) and you have nothing to show for it. Your biggest accomplishment is splitting or getting swept by UK but please go on telling us how you’ve passed us by!😂 Hell, UT isn’t even ahead of South Carolina. At least they have a final four!!! Waiting for a reply @della!

Really, it is coach and program commitment. If the program is committed to give a quality coach what he needs then the school will be successful. This is especially true now that you can buy players.
