I definitely agree that people make race an issue far too often. More so than need be really. However I can see where FKYW and GT are coming from on this one. Why do we feel the need to point out someone is well spoken when they are black, but not really when they're white? A white player is generally expected to be well-spoken. Not the case with black players. Like GT said, that's just the reality. Not taking shots at anyone in this thread who said it either. I know I do the same thing. I did with Brandon Knight for sure. I never even gave it a thought until now. Not once have I referred to a white player as well-spoken. Good food for thought guys.

Not sure why Adidas would be so upset with Bazz going to UK though. Yes, it's a Nike school. It's also a place for Bazz to become a SUPERSTAR. If he goes to UCLA then he'll still be a big name player, but not on the same level as if he went to UK. Suck it up for a year, and your client's worth will grow exponentially. It would be better for Adidas in the long run. Look at Wall. He went to a Nike school and then joined up with Reebok in the NBA. Pretty sure they made out better than if he had went to a Reebok school (I don't even know a Reebok school to give an example).

Solid list. I think this year's UK team was better than those Florida teams though. Here's my list: 1. 1990-91 UNLV 2. 1996 UK 3. 1991-1992 Duke 4. 2012 UK 5. 2009 UNC Granted, I was very young when some of these teams played. I have seen some game highlights and read quite a bit about them though.

This is true. I was there to witness it. Obviously there wasn't anything I could do to stop it, but the police got it pretty well under control. The scene was much calmer then what it apparently was on Saturday. As far as the garage on fire, I didn't see it. I'll upload a video of the scene tomorrow hopefully.

Just got back in. Lexington was CRAZY tonight!! Had a blast, and I'll remember this night forever. Congrats Cats!! Go Big Blue!!

I don't get how making an exception for one of the top 3 players to ever don the Blue and White waters down the process.

Even if he accomplishes as much in one year as other greats have in their entire career? No other UK player has ever been the National POY. Davis swept all of the awards. He's on his way to a championship (hopefully). He is probably the greatest shot blocker in UK history. Those are accolades worthy of having a jersey retired, whether they be accomplished in one year or over four years.

:lol: FAIL!!! I'm pretty sure I made a similar comment at the time too. Easy to look back and get a good laugh now.

About what I expected from the first episode. I enjoyed it, but mostly it just laid the foundation for the season.

Absolutely. I also would like to see MKG's jersey retired. That's only because he's my man crush though. Probably not truly deserving of the honor, but I don't care. :lol:

Looks like I lucked out not being able to go to State after the game. Roads were all blocked, so I just celebrated at my apartment complex with everyone. I'll be on University for the game Monday. As Capernicus said, my friends on that live on University said the scene was much better there.

Like FKYW said... If my future kids aren't involved in sports, they better build one heck of a resume. My family is very sports oriented though, so hopefully that continues when I have kids. People who actively participate in sports are a little more prepared for life. They learn how to work hard, work in teams, respect authority, develop social skills, and improve their physical fitness. I never want one of my kids to pass up that opportunity.

I bought a 2006 Hyundai Sonata LX last year. I love it and it should last me a few more years until I graduate, get a job, and save up some money for something newer and nicer.

Even though I know the Wizards would win handily, I would love to see this game. I'd be interested in seeing how this group of Cats measures up to an NBA team. I don't think they'd lose by 30.

I am REALLY excited about both Poythress and Goodwin. Someone else said Poythress is a better, smoother Jones. I agree completely. He will be the sleeper of this class. Let's get Nerlens and have another great season! (Still worried about Shabazz)

I hate that you're going to feel personally responsible after they lose, but you should definitely watch it anyways.

He's an incredible talent and player. I'm really worried about the baggage he could bring with him to UK though.

I've heard that Season 3 should be the best. I haven't and don't plan on reading the books for the sole purpose of not ruining the surprise moments in the show.

I agree that you have to do the family thing. I feel for you though... It's going to suck not being in Louisville or New Orleans for this one. In the end, you'll have fun with the family. I always enjoy kickin' back and watching a game with my Dad. There may not be another UL-UK Final Four game, but there will be plenty of other opportunities to rage while you're still in college. Besides... Louisville is going to be one depressing place after Saturday anyways.

I got Season 1 on Blu-ray and will probably watch it all again before the new season starts. This is definitely my favorite show on television.

Will they be replaying the dunk and three point contests anytime soon? I missed it and really want to see them.

I don't see why it really matters if he was lying or not. Personally, I think he did it to soften the blow to Jacksonville fans as Clyde said. No need to be disappointed in him. It doesn't make him a lesser person at all in my eyes. Side note: I was really impressed with his interview I saw on SportsCenter today. I believe he will represent the Jets well, whether or not he performs on the field. Here's to hoping he finds a way to contribute to the team.

In transition, the Kidd is elite. I believe he will be in the NBA as well. Great defender and rebounder. He has shown his ability to score. MKG is going to be a very good NBA player with the potential to be great.

So it was your fault!!! :lol:
