GT, I don't think any of us are looking down on anyone else for not being a UK fan if they are not. It is a Kentucky sports Website, you are right. No one said it was a UK Basketball Board. It is just that this board originates from Kentucky and the majority of people that are members I'm failry positive are Kentuckians and the majority of Kentuckians are Kentucky fans. We are all here because we love sports, no doubt. That is why we have threads on almost every collegiate, professional and local team in the USA. Still the majority of members whether they post a lot or not would be UK fans based strictly on percentage. There is nothing wrong with that, that I can see. Our message just gets sent in different ways and numerous threads because there are so many of us on this board who want to either start a topic or continue one, therefore, there will be a lot of ramblings of the same issues because not everyone logs onto the site at the same time and sees these messages all at once.

Great video. Watching us playing UNC, Stanford and Indiana is weird because it seems like it has been years ago that those games occurred.

AMEN! If it isn't the pot calling the kettle black. Honestly, it doesn't matter what most of us UK fans say or don't say we will always be treated like we are wearing our Blue Blinders, (unless we are the ones who go out on threads and bow down to Duke or some other rival just so others will like us). I love UK, when watching a game if we walk or double dribble, I call it even if the ref misses it. I'm glad they did miss it but we are not so dumb to ignore the obvious calls. I believe that any rational UK fan that is a member on this site deserves a little more respect than we have been given or any school for that fact. There must be 10 threads recently on UK fan behavior posted from non-UK fans on this site. Why? It is a Kentucky board, the majority will be Kentucky fans wanting to discuss issues amongst our own fan base without sarcastic comments coming into play. If I go into a Duke thread and say I thought they deserved a Technical for slinging an elbow that is my viewpoint, if you disagree, fine. We'll agree to disagree. I won't start a thread on Duke fans and constantly beat them down. I hate the stereotypes of all UK fans. SUCCESS has caused this turmoil and I suppose that is fine, but when grown men/women want to argue all the time on a site where membership is paid for, it gets annoying that you feel like a black sheep for rooting for your own in state school on a site that is based in Kentucky. There is a reason we don't have 100 threads on Alabama Football (although Alabama Larry would love that) because we don't live in Alabama. It has gotten to the point where if you are branded a UK fan (Thank Goodness) your opinion is always shaded with blue tint and that perspective is pathetic. Let's end the continued witch hunt, please. it runs more members off than it brings in with all the negativity because I'd be real relcutant to join after reading some of the hits UK fans continue to receive time and time again.

:laugh:

I had a lot of people telling me last week that Nebraska was a very favorable matchup and Uk shouldn't have a problem with them. I haven't heard anything on Oklahoma, however.

Our travel agent gave us slips to put in the invitation that suggest monetary donations toward the honeymoon. It is an online website that you just contribute money to. We didn't go that route though. Just thought I'd mention it.

I enjoyed the game, the first womens college game I've watched actually. The Cats look like a fun team to watch. With their speed, I'd love to see them play UCONN. Just to be measured at where UK is. I hate the camera angles on a womens basketball game, it feels like the camera is in the rafters, wouldn't it make more sense to be at almost game level since they are shorter players? I really liked the camera angle in the Duke/Baylor matchup.

^some give and take I suppose.

No sour grapes. Just facts. Overwhelming majority feel so. It doesn't diminish the fact that DUKE made it, congrats. I'm not a fan so I could care less, but what I states was a fact that the majority of people felt it was the easist bracket by far.

Sorry but I know 5 personally and they are that way. I have no other experience.

Its all about the Big Hardware though. How many times have they hoisted it up? That is what he meant in reference to no one but UCLA being able to talk.

He was asking NCF and NCF plainly stated Kentucky Athletics, I'm am also not sure why you would join just to be put off so many times by us UK fans. I know there is a GD forum where some people get close but this is a sports website first and if talk about Kentucky athletics offends you please refrain. In retrospect, NCF has been a member for a long time and very devoted to high school football in our state. Just don't click on the college forum then. :thumb:

That is fine, but my reasoning for thinking it was is because of the violent nature in which he turned around in an upward motion after the whistle and after contact had been made, I mean he acted as if someone had just punched him in the face when all Baylor did was foul him on the arm. He was pinned in and didn't like it so he swung his elbow upwards and hsi facial expressions shows his intent.

A poster with a WVU player in his avatar starts the thread and UK fans catch heck for it. Makes no SENSE. For myself and I'm sure 98% of UK fans, Cal can remain as long as he wants as long as he still shows LOVE for the UK programs as he did this year with all the press we got locally and nationally.

If they beat WVU, I'll be more respective, not that any DUKE fan cares what UK fans think anyway but from a UK perspective it is hard to acknowledge that the teams Duke has beat are that good, Baylor was impressive though.

Do you think it was not?

Thanks for the envy! We UK fans thrive off of it. My favorite is seeing N. Iowa hustle in every game and Ali F. play bal.

In what everyone agreed to be the easist bracket.

Exactly what I thought. IMO it was a terrible call. I was also very mad that the Duke player did not get a TO for swinging his elbow high with an obvious intention of striking a chin. I couldn't blame Acey for coming in.

I'm not arguing with you, I'm just curious have you ever spent time with an autistic kid? Their reasonings make no sense but often are very right. I thought it was already confirmed that it was legit because the website had a lock on the timing of the games.

Is there a youtube link?

Win over Cornell you mean...

Who said he used that stat, he may have used FT % Northern Iowa 75% KU 66%

My mom picked Northern Iowa over KU. My wife just missed 5 in the 1st round. Texas, 1 point loss. Georgetown, huge upset. Vandy, last second shot got beat. Florida, 2 OT loss. UofL, the only landslide. Had TX maintained its lead and Georgetown hadn't pulled the biggest choke of the tournament and Murray st. hadn't hit a last second buzzer beater that was unreal and Florida would've won in regulation and 1 OT like they had it then my wife only had 1 legit loss, Louisville. It isn't that far fetched.
