Tennessee VS. Kentucky

I’m putting a ban on family birthdays until after the season.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart for not being here to have Queen Della’s back in dealing with Kaintucky fans tonight.

Be assured that the Ghost WILL be present for duty when the Cats come to KnoxVegas tho!
She held her ground and bitched about he refs the entire time. passion at it's finest.

Your question was stupid because no one charts 15 fouls with times and infraction called per time. That is why I called it unfair.

It is also why I picked a specific foul to ask your opinion.

Finally, I told you the guys in the booth disagreed with and not just Vitale. So, why don’t you heed your own advice and stick to the facts. Oh, I did tell you that you were wrong also.

His question was stupid? Do you have any clue how much stupid shit you post on here?😂
 
This game is PROOF that Cal gets even the less-talented kids ready for the NBA better than any other coach in college. Look how he motivated UT’s Johnson & Springer; he got 25 points out of each of them last night. They average 9ppg.

I know what "A to B"movement is, and why its a foul on the defense. I have worked over 300 D1 basketball games...been to clinincs/camps for over 15 years...Have been trained by Mike Eades, Eric Harmon, Roger Ayers, etc, etc...I'd say its safe to say my knowledge of officiating is more advanced than Dick Vitale's.....Wouldn't you?

I explained to you why I felt it was a block---I felt Fulk had his hands on him...that he was stumbling, and the contact wasn't THE cause...just A cause, as to why he fell. Then there is the "A to B" movement---which is almost always a foul on the defense...

Dick Vitales explanation was---"I thought it was a charge...."

Sure---sounds convincing, huh?

Am I always right? Absolutely not. I've been wrong many of times...That call wasn't one of them.

Now, anymore questions?

my only question is, had the ref called the charge, would you be defending that call as well?

BC I understand you being a ref and defending refs, but sometimes like you mentioned, they miss calls every game. I didn’t even watch so I don’t care about this particular game. It’s just you always defend the refs but rarely say damn that was a bad call.

I'm not ready to get rid of Calipari, however this pipeline to the NBA needs to stop. At some point we have to get a return as fans.

How do you expect to get rid of the pipeline to the nba without getting rid of Cal. It’s his shtick.
 
I didn’t watch but this thread was pure gold. Ut wins going away in the end and their only fan spends the entire thread bitching about the refs 😂

I know this year sucks but don't you think some of these guys will come back? That could be just what they need. Covid screwed up the chance for young teams to get where they needed to be and it is so hard to do on the fly. If they get guys back that could make for a really good team next year.

I know right, we are the 15th or so youngest team in America. Probably be top 10 in a normal offseason.

A weird offseason doesn’t explain the fact why none of the young blue bloods have improved much during the season, like they usually do. It’s the players. Johnson, Boston, Clark, Love, have looked anything like 5* recruits. Jackson and Sharpe have been the only ones that have been impressive imo. Granted love had a great game yesterday.

Better in a normal offseason, sure, but not sure any of y’all would be top 10 contenders with it.

I actually said I wouldn't have been mad, or felt a charge was wrong..But I do tihnk it met more of the criteria for a block, opposed to a charge.

Yeah, I thought the talk was that this class was really good but maybe not. Regardless, I think the reality is that perhaps this class was pretty average overall.

Actually a weird off-season does help explain. I’m not sure about other teams (Duke, UNc, KU) but for UK we had 1 returning player and the rest was new guys (transfers or Freshman). In a normal year they come in early and get a huge head start on the season and get a feel for playing together. Take that away plus not having any returning players that played meaningful minutes and the result is what you’re seeing at UK. No excuses, we suck and I can take jokes and everything that comes with it. I actually like it!
 
I just drove past the construction down at Rupp, and yes, the crane does have a giant orange and white checkerboard flag atop it. Apparently thats FAA regulations or some such. Either way, a hilarious and bad look considering last night.

Yeah, I forgot to take that back home when I was climbing up for a better look around. I get in in a bit.

If no one charts 15 fouls, then how do you know over half were wrong?

Borden, I like you, I really do and don't want to damage our e friendship here, so let's let this drop with this answer to this question.

Fouls and such are charted by the folks that keep the game records. No fan partakes of such an endeavour.
However, fans often disagree with calls and that is just the way it is.
 
Yes you were.

Now CB3UK, you are just projecting fear and awe on UT fans because Barnes has built a Blue beating monster. We are actually very friendly and kind. 😉
 
@della did you know that Barnes turned down Kentucky before they hired Gillispie? Donovan turned them down and then so did Barnes. Just a little more ammo for ya. 😀

The Kentucky fans posting here are cool, I don’t care much for the ones that will only come here when they are good.

I like the Cat posters that can mix it up and not get to upset over things.

I had no idea, information the kitties have never offered up. I'll save those bullets.

Brrrrrrr, I hate to think of the shift in the balance of power in the SEC or eastern US CBB landscape should Barnes have not been an outstanding moral man able to refuse the temptation of Evil. 😱
 
The thing about it is, UK can play some great basketball in spurts and then they just turn it off for no reason.
I know it has to be maddening for y'all.

I don’t see how UT fans do it year after year! These last three years must seem like title runs for you guys.

You're replying to a pretty uninflammatory post there Scottie. Are you just a masochist?

I know this...Shit, I'm a fan too...And bitch just as much as the next....But, when you say half of the calls were bad---then I ask(which ones), then you tell me my question is stupid, because no one charts fouls....

Well...............

But its all in fun. Vols looked good. I like Barnes. Hopefully he gets UT to a FF. As I;ve always rooted for the Vols as well. I lived in Tenn....my sister was born in TN, ad we still visit there often..

Have a good day..

Well what...

Does anyone chart fouls? Tell the truth. If I had answered fouls 2,5,6,7,10,13, and 14 were were bad would that have been a more acceptable answer for you? Did you have all the fouls objectively charted and thus been capable of a serious discussion on merit?

Your question was unfair.
