Kentucky Basketball Now 1 and 5

[Boca Vol]

1-6. Oof.

Kal is blaming himself for the schedule. It is tough, but still.....

As a life-long Vol fan, I actually miss the days of being able to hate KY basketball. When I was a kid KY teams had a personality...Melvin Turpin, Sam Bowie, Travis Ford, etc...and it was fun to beat them occasionally. Nowadays I don't recognize a player from year to year on their roster.

You must be close to my age. I remember turpin and bowie. I gotta admit, Travis Ford was fun to watch, he could shoot.

Kyle Macy was a punk

Really happy for all our shithead "volcats". You all suck more than any others have ever sucked.

You couldn’t have said it any better....

Especially his teammates' free throws. I am old school, too. First games were 1976-77 season, epic battles vs. The Vols. We were so happy to see Bernie, Ernie, and Coach Mears exit the stage.

What? Macy was as likeable as they get. Ford, however had kind of a punk side.

Was it Ford who tried to take another players free throws? I remember a kentucky player trying that.

He would not be the first or last to try that

 

[McCat]

Yeah, Travis Ford took another player's FTs twice against Vandy in 1994. Vandy probably deserved it to be honest. Pitino suspended 3 players against UT for it. UK dressed only 8 guys in that game, but won 77-73.

Kentucky now 2-6 after beating MSU in Starkvegas last night. Perhaps a turning point. The fans had been all over Cal about playing Dontaie Allen, a Kentucky legend who could have gone anywhere but was riding the bench. Down by 9 points with 9 minutes to go Cal gets 2 technicals and gets tossed. Assistant Coach puts Dontaie in the game and the kid hits 7-11 from 3 point land, 23 points in all in a 2 overtime win. Crazy game. I have never seen the fans prove a coach wrong, but Cal's stubbornness proved him wrong last night.

A freshman?

Yep, a freshman. Crazy.

3-6. Vandy goes down after Mintz hits a game winning 3 from the corner.

4-6 after a solid beatdown of the Gators.

Looks like Cal has solved it. They beat the living snot out of UF.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

So when will the “Fire Cal!” petitions start in Lexington?

Although there is reason for optimism, I wouldn't hang my hat on beating Florida. The Cats have an upcoming schedule of #4 Texas, #17 Missouri and #10 Tennessee. Let's see how that goes before we get giddy. I will tip my hat to Cal if they can go 2-1 in that three game stretch.

4-7. They aren't going to the NCAAT.

All I know is Rex Chapman is a gigantic POS on Twitter...without me looking it up...what kind of career did Mr Tennessee Ron Mercer have after college?

He was a journeyman but played close to a decade in the league. He was drafted by the Celtics, and his college coach Rick Pitino. I believe that he made the all-nba rookie team. He was traded to Denver after just two year in Boston.

Thsnks, Guess there are worse things in life than spending a decade in the league even if it is as a reserve..wonder if the NBA has a good pension?

 

[Boston Vol]

Why is Cal not playing Dontaie Allen more? Oh well, as the bluegrass burns.

 

[Border Vol]

It's a nice day Auburn beat Kentucky 66-59.

 

[Border Vol]

4-8. They aren't going to the NCAAT.

FYP

Tubby never had a team this bad when he was at Kentucky.

Will Cal get his pink slip at the end of the season???
