Don't know how I missed this gem of a thread until now. We had a UK fan arguing with an Ohio U fan over Indiana on a Vols board. Perfect!

Hatred between kentucky and Tennessee must be fierce.

Kentucky is the reigning national champion. Don't know how much fun can be poked at them for an nit appearance this season.

I love how people just missed the point of this thread and used it to bash other users. That's just downright stupid of them.

Yes, it is funny to see such a storied program celebrate a "meager achievement" by elite standards. But on the other hand, the program has been trying to come back after years of failure. It's nice to see them back, I like the competition.

Didn't UK retire the jerseys of all the seniors on a team that lost in the Regional Finals. Those jerseys are hung in the rafters. Isn't that making a bigger deal out of a team with "meager achievement."

I see where you are going with that and your point holds merit, But there was a bit more significance to that that Indiana's Sweet 16 celebration I do believe.

I'm not just criticizing Indiana for doing it. If UK did the same I'd be like wtf too.

I am.

Man-Mouth-to-Mouth-kissing Tom Crean makes trophy cases for beating #1, hangs banners, makes t-shirts, and issues for Sweet 16 appearances. And he cuts down the nets after a loss. And he screams at opposing team assistants, "You ruined the program!" And when he loses, he blows off the coach handshake.

Crean is as worthy of ridicule as anyone. He's an insufferable little piss-ant.

Yeah, he's shown his true colors a few times, but he brought this Indiana program back. I remember beating them by 40 once in the mid 2000s.

Thanks for admitting how hypocritical your original comment was.


Retiring jerseys of all of the seniors and hanging them in the rafters for losing in the regional final is a lot like trying to tear down the goal posts for almost beating LSU.

Obviously, critical thinking isn't your strong suit, so I'll give you a hint:

Context.

Context is the same for both programs. IU's program is still coming back after recovering from probation years...just like the Unforgettables.

Yet, you make fun of IU for buying rings for their players this year. You could have made fun of the candy striped warm up pants and I would have understood that.
