The Big Blue Daily Mail -- Kentucky Enters SEC Play

that explains a lot. Almost every attorney I have ever known thinks they know more about everything than anyone else. That explains why he based his conclusions and opinions on one camera angle, the worst of the three I saw for actually determining what happened, and says the refs got it wrong without even seeing what they saw. That is beyond idiocy if you ask me. My feelings on the matter is CBS and ESPN owe some airtime to someone who is prepared to present an opposing point of view.

the picture that accompanies his comments is the one of cousins getting kneed….

First of all, I agree with your thoughts Tru on getting Pat more involved and on Cousins.

But I love the fact that U of L fans are so up in arms over the game. I love that Cal yelled back at Delk for trying to be a bully. Obviously he was, how much emotion have you really seen out of Bledsoe before that? Maybe it’s not professional, but dang it it’s still a game and that’s the kind of coach I’d want.
I love that despite Jerry Smith getting arrested a few weeks ago for nearly hitting a cop and Pitino’s investigation, U of Loser fans really think they have a leg to stand on when it comes to integrity. That argument holds no weight from any Louisville fan.
I love the fact that we beat them at their own game. I don’t want to see our players ejected, but being the new Bad Boys isn’t a bad thing. Personally, I think it’s a bit of racism.
Think about it, look at the off the court problems recently at Tennessee, the arrests and Pitino situation at U of L and in football, all the arrests at Florida and problems again at UT.
Those are some serious offenses. What has UK done? Recruit a player that has a temper and doesn’t put up with a bunch of trash talk? If our team was all white, would they be called the new Thug U and all that crap? I don’t think so for a minute. Effin John Stockton was one of the dirtiest players in the history of the NBA. You hear him called a thug?
I think this team is mentally pretty tough and like most great teams, cocky. They’re not going to put up with some jackass team like Loserville talking a bunch of crap when they got embarrassed by Western Carolina on their home court just a few weeks earlier. That doesn’t make them bad players or bad people.
My highschool football coach said we should be maniacs when we stepped between the lines but complete gentleman when we stepped off the field. Until Cousins has to be pulled off by five cops at a party or Cal gets caught with his hand in the bread basket after hours at some Italian restaurant, I don’t give two snowflakes what the eff happens on the court as long as it’s not [very subjective here] completely unethical.

Look at it this way, if Wall isn’t actually on the national cover, we totally avoid the possible SI cover jinx, right?

And, if we do grace the national cover this year, it will hopefully be at the end of the year and by that point we will more than likely have accomplished all we wanted to (thus the reason for the cover) and the so-called jinx will be null and void. See, potential crisis averted. : )

I happen to work right across the street from the SI headquarters* – so I called up my buddy who works there, and he just dropped me off a John Wall copy. Sweet!

*Yes, I will punch Seth Davis in the nose if I happen to see him on the street

I’d be grateful if I were you guys. I will never forgive SI after they put the Detroit Tigers on the cover on 9/28/2009. After the cover was released on 9/25/2009, the Tigers went 4-6 before falling to the Twins in a one game playoff to miss out on the postseason. Screw you SI. What a waste of a beautiful cover and a good story.

I’ve addressed this before, but I will again.

What if the grade standard for being on an academic scholarship when you were granted one was 3.5, then in your second year, the University decided to raise it to a 3.65. You no longer qualify, so you lose your scholarship.

That’s similar to the standard that was applied to the basketball team. UK decided to upgrade it’s talent, and guys like Galloway and Pilgrim were no longer talented enough for them.

Frankly, institutions can set whatever standards they want for largess, but the public will see this as unfair. And since this a publicly funded institution, that matters.

part of the reason we are undefeated is that we have 5 guys on the floor now at all times that can beat you. Larry Conley said it best over on Vaught’s Views. We have the best role players in the country, period. No one has our depth at so many positions. Last year we had one developed point guard…….now we have three….with a fourth one available in an emergency. This year we have the tallest team in the country, and it doesnt drop off too much from 1st string to second or third. That is what will be the difference this year……..when conference play hits, no one knows who, besides Wall, Cousins, Patterson, and Bledsoe is going to show up to beat our opponents.

Can you imagine if Orton, Perry and Jorts could come in and give Patterson and Cousins 6-7 minutes rest in each half and production never dropped off???

It is possible at times this year.

I don’t think it will be pretty at all.
