April 17, 200917 yr JC is a snake-oil salesman. He is throwing manna to the masses. It is fun, the fans are re energized, and if recruiting goes well, then we should be a player on the national scene again. I'm enjoying it but not going overboard...still a lot to play out. We will see what happens when he loses a couple of games... For now it is fun... Had that debate with my minister this evening. I think that is rather harsh. He is a marketing major who takes to heart what marketing means. He creates and sells an image/brand. And he is a master of it. A snake-oil salesman, from my understanding of the term, sells things that he can't really do. Cal seems to be able to get people to buy into an image and then delivers the goods. If he wasn't a coach, he would be leading CEO.

How about he can sell ice to an eskimo.

April 17, 200917 yr I dont exactly expect a Final Four no more than I do every year as a UK Fan. I do expect no less that a Sweet 16 next year with what is returning(take it that Meeks and PPat return). If we add Wall then I have no idea what to expect. If Wall and Henry come then I will stay dumbfounded the entire time. I expect to win 90% of our games, maybe loose to 1 and only 1 upset team a season, not loose any at Rupp unless its a top 10 team and thats pushing it, have a coach that represents the college and community of Kentucky and I expect myself to be a UK FAN if everything works out as planned or everything goes to , well you know what I am saying.
April 18, 200917 yr All the hairs on the back of my neck are starting to stand up. I can't even imagine what it will be like trying to get a UK ticket if this all happens. Glad I have season tickets!!!!

Shouldn't EXPECT anything just yet. Just support your team.
April 18, 200917 yr Glad I have season tickets!!!! If you can't go one game and don't have close relatives that want to go(cause I know how that goes) give me a holler and name your price if they are that good. I got a feeling decent tickets may be almost impossible to get this year coming.

I got a feeling decent tickets may be almost impossible to get this year coming. Not for me. Its nice being a UK student!
April 18, 200917 yr I dont necessarily think that he meant "Duke doesn't want a piece of this"... I think it was more of a "Duke really doesn't care to play us." The way I saw it,too. I have thought for years that it would be great for the 2 schools to schedule each other,though.

Wasn't meant to be a derogatory...heck it helped Jose Rijo...I liked Rijo...
April 18, 200917 yr On the front it says Witness and a nike swoosh under it. On the back it has UK and UT, the date of the game and how he got his 54 points like it would say 2 3 3 3 3 2 1 1 and so on. Then under that is say 54. Pretty sharp. There is a picture of Patterson in the Huntington Newspaper wearing the Witness T-Shirt. To me, it's blasphemy. Jodie Meeks can't carry LBJ's headband. :lol:
April 18, 200917 yr Not for me. Its nice being a UK student! Well I go to school in Kentucky , does that count as a "University in Kentucky" in stead of" University of Kentucky" ? Close enough? haha
April 18, 200917 yr j/k........... This is true, this isn't a joke. Here as of late I have saw/heard/been around more UK fans than I have been able to see in the last 2-4 years. It's amazing where they have all went to hide, then come out into the light once they get elite an coach and a stacked recruiting class. It has been amazing to see this, and I know it will only grow and get worse and worse. Much worse..
