The SEC is shaping up to be a tough Conference

Speaking only for myself, when it comes to college athletics, I only watch/care about basketball (men's only, I have tried watching women's and the product is awful, no matter how much society/ESPN tries to shove women's sports down our collective throats) and football.

Any other accomplishments in other sports means diddly squat to me. Baseball, volleyball, track and field, gymnastics, cheerleading, tennis, etc, I couldn't care less who wins, as I don't watch.

Funny thing is, the majority of society feels the same way, as viewership bears out what I am saying.
Don't be dissing on WCBB Nick.
 
The series is tight. Since Barnes UT has turned into a very good CBB program. That should last until Barnes leaves unless we luck up on a great replacement. I love Barnes because he has been great for UT.

I have never proclaimed that UT is a blueblood, but we are very capable.
163-78 is not 'tight'.

I have tried watching. The quality of play is brutal, and the lack of athleticism (especially in comparison to the men's game) is even worse.

Just not for me. I have no problem if ppl want to sit and watch, but I couldn't care less about the women's game.
 
UT CFB went to the playoffs. How is that down? UT CFB has beaten UK bigly during stated time.
It's a 12 team playoff, if you consider yourself one of the best programs in the country, you better make that.

Football is UT's bread and butter, so just making the playoff isn’t good enough by your standards.

But back on topic, what timeframe are you using with regards to UK basketball being down? 4 years?
 
Jeff just said UT had gone down since 98. Isn't that timeframing?
I was talking about Tennessee football. 1998 is your last title. Doesn't that make sense?

You and AB Vol are the ones timeframing. He said UT had accomplished more since 2017, which is odd, because UK has 2 elite 8's in that time and won the league by 3 games in 2020.

But if we're going to timeframe, doesn't it make more sense to start at the beginning of Barnes' tenure at UT?

Okay, so now you're saying "since Barnes took over". Doesn't it make sense to start your timeframing there?

I mean, we had Billy Gillispie for two years there, so advantage Tennessee, right?

You like to be a big fish in a small pond. Most of you guys refuse to go to other sports boards. Nobody wins all the time.

You brought up that UT has been down since 98, but did you know that UT is 24-3 in those years, so we didn't go down that much did we?

Being in the top 12 is good. What do you define as acceptable?

Getting to the Final 4 is good too, but you had a problem with that. When did that mindset change?

I have never made claims of UT being upper tier before Barnes. You guys fight me like I have which isn't the case. Nobody cares about what happened years ago, but y'all go on about it endlessly.

Nobody who has next to nothing to really talk about in past years don't care.

24-3? Are you saying that's your record vs UK? If so, that’s a weird flex, UK FB sucks. Your standards for UT fb have really dropped if top 12 is okay.
I don't have time to be on that many message boards, I post here between.phone calls and emails at work and at night.
This is a basketball message board, so let's get back to the timeframing thing. When are we starting this timeframe? You won't answer that for some reason.
 
That's why timeframing is a loser's argument. The all time numbers are undeniable.

So endeth the lesson.
That is ridiculous. Not everything is a discussion about all time records. Since I don't every claim UT as an all time great CBB program it is just you being needy to feel superior.

You’re changing the topic. You and AB Vol are claiming UT has outperformed UK, but I'm trying to figure out when this occurred.
I need you to tell me what timeframe you are talking about.

It's just your insecurity and need for validation. bammers in CFB don't go on anything like you regarding championships and they have twice as much as you do. When we talk, I tell them Vols are going to kick y'all's ass and they will say the reverse and one or the other will celebre you a day and that will be it.

How is it weird? You attacked the Vols for being down during that time frame and it turns out we stomped you during said time. You brought up the time period, I didn't.

Sure, but Alabama fans don't have UT fans trying to tell them they outperformed them by using weird timeframes. Alabama has been so dominant recently and in the past, that there is no way UT fans can possibly argue it.

There are 2 fanbases that are obsessed with UK, Tennessee and Louisville fans play some serious mental gymnastics to try to make themselves feel better, but the bottom line is, UK has dominated both of you recently and historically. Y'all just look silly when you use these crazy timeframes and technicalities to argue your cases, but it’s just silly.

It’s as ridiculous as me saying UK FB dominates UT football in years where there's a blue moon on a Tuesday the 2nd week of April.

You’re smarter than this, you're just trying to mind f*ck me here.

I only brought up UT football to use as an example and it is accurate. Fb is UT's bread and butter, basketball is UK's bread and butter and y'all are trying to say UK basketball is down and trying to say UT has been better, which is false.

At no time did I say UK fb is > UT fb. That is the difference. Y'all are trying to say UT bb has been better than UK in some weird timeframe bs that you refuse to actually spell out now for some reason.

What timeframe are we using?

If what I say is FACT supported, which it is, there's nothing 'needy' about it.

We don't tell you we beat you, you already know that. I tell you good game and move on. The problem is that you can't stand for a fellow conference member to have any success and that is where things go off the rails.

A fact about caterpillars probably has nothing to do with a discussion about dogs. So, it is inappropriate. It is needy.
 
In the Rick Barnes era, which started in the 15/16 season, UK is up 12-11. If I was a UT fan 🤮, that’s the timeframe I would use. Both schools have 2 elite 8's in there.
Well done Tennessee.

Huh? This is another weird flex. You guys are the ones talking about being a better program in some weird timeframes. If UT was better, I would have zero issue saying that, but it’s just not true.
Auburn, uscjr and Alabama have been to the FF more recently than UK, they have been better. Tennessee has two, more recent E8's and has had more recent SECT success, they have been better, prior to this year.
So what are you going to accuse me of now?
 
It is pretty fun/interesting that Pope is 6-0 vs ut as a player, 2-0 as a coach.

Maybe, just maybe.... the chickens are coming home to roost, Della?

Remember all that constant Barnes worshipping of yours based on a 1 game lead vs Cal in head to head matchups?

Well, the boomerang just came back and hit you.
And man alive was she proud of that one game head to head lead!😂😂😂

UT is not the blueblood and yet they are right up there with one. Thanks

You talk about Cal in his time frame, why does it all of sudden become weird for me to talk about Barnes in his?

Only Kentucky fans can move the goalposts, you aren’t allowed. And arguing with JC is like arguing with a rock, except the rock has more personality and doesn’t smell like 💩

In Bert’s lifetime (he’s seen a lot of sports) Louisville leads Kentucky in the football series. JC goes back over 100 years to pull 6 games to give his blueboys an advantage. Their winningest football coach in their history has a losing record, Louisville is back to owning them again in football and it’s probably going to be the same in basketball when Louisville has a healthy roster. We hung with them on their court with 7 scholarship players.

They are a needy lot. I think they suffer from "little man syndrome". If they were bammers you think they would still be lifelong CBB fans only visiting this board?

Now that the SEC seems to be taking basketball seriously, they are now having to look for their cheer squad for personal satisfaction. Even Vanderbilt is passing them in the major sports.

Yay, BLOCKHEAD, your football squad finally won a game against UK. It had certainly been a while. Only an idiot like you would equate that to 'owning', given that U6 is still 4 games behind in the series.

In hoops, U6 is on the very short end of the 40-17 tally. Squints, your very short coach, ain't closing the gap any time soon.
 
Rick Barnes is great, but UT is more than one coach. UT is the overall top Athletic program in the SEC and has been so for the last three years.
Oh so now that the one game head to head lead is gone you all the sudden don’t wanna just talk about Barnes because the athletic department is the main thing!😂 Funny how when you has that one game lead all you wanted to talk about was Barnes. What happened???😂
Pretty big deal taking the rub out from under you wasn't it.
What exactly was you rubbing out from under me? You’re gonna have to explain this one!😳

163-78. (UK vs ut)

40-17. UK v U6

Those aren't goalposts, BLOCKHEAD. They're statistical FACTS. Only a moron like yourself would dispute them.

Now get back to your momma's basement and fire up that VCR w/the '86 title game.
