Kentucky winning by an average 29.5 ppg in the NCAA's

[era veteran]

Room on the bandwagon folks. Everybody on the roster scored against Wake.

[taterguy]

1. Can we hop off the bandwagon when whatever violations Calipari committed come to light?

You knew you were setting yourself up for that one right?

GO CORNELL!

[era veteran]

2. Sure, He has not been found guilty of any violations by the NCAA

Kentucky is clean. It would be a huge upset if Cornell won. I could see where you might enjoy that. I think most Kentucky fans relished Kansas getting beat as much they enjoyed beating an ACC team. Maybe the Ivy League can put up a better game. You knew you were setting yourself up too. Good luck with your team of the week, see you later.

3. Who have they played, era?

Just curious.

4. Some of our 'name' opponents had bad years after they played us

The SEC is tougher than you may think. Everyone targets UK, thats when they have sell outs.

[Condem]

5. ETSU and Wake.

Man. I feel for UK. Not exactly a walk in the park. I'll say this. The bracket is setting up quite nicely for the Wildcats.

6. Thanks for the concern

Cornell next... too. I noticed it setting up real nice.

7. WVU is formidable.

Otherwise, I see them in the Championship game.

10. Hugy boy is a great coach & a prick

Watched him at Cincinnati, could be a good game though.

[Condem]

13. I'm surprised WVU has got this far.

Huggins teams are famous for underachieving in The Dance. In fact, is this the farthest he's got?

[era veteran]

14. No, one final four in 1992

A couple of elite 8's & one Sweet 16. Very underachieving teams on the whole. One of his players punched a police horse once.

15. Blame it on Alex Karras.

Blazing Saddles.

8. I've never actively routed against a team until this year....

I've never actively routed against a team until this year, but after Calipari robbed Memphis of possibly the greatest draft class ever I'm pulling for Cal and the Wildcats to go down.

[era veteran]

11. No rules, regulations, or laws broken in his hiring.

The players are NOW under the NCAA blanket, high school kids can go where they want. You don't advocate making someone go where they don't want to, do you? Nothing done wrong here. Lots of sour grapes. Get over it.

[TreeHuggingLiberal]

17. No, but I advocate the same for coaches as for students.

When the students sign on to a University and initiate their contract (participate in a full season, for example), they have to sit out for a year. Calipari recruited using Memphis' recruitment funds and then took the product to another institution without any repercussions. If a student was in the middle of a commitment (or contract in the coaches sense) they wouldn't be allowed to break contract without punishment. It should be the same for coaches under contract. Don't try and act like you wouldn't have a problem with it if Cal did the same thing to you. You just happened to benefit from an ugly situation so you put your blinders on to feel better.

18. The students were not under contract with Memphis & Coach Cal stopped all

contact with those players. When they contacted him about their desire to come to UK it was ok. This is not a law it is an NCAA Regulation. UK is in FULL compliance. So sour grapes.

[TreeHuggingLiberal]

19. I'm not talking about the recruits.

They had an out worked into their letter of intent. I'm talking about how student athletes (not recruits) and coaches are held to entirely different standards and how it can lead to the decimation of programs. If a student athlete leaves it has a much lesser impact to the program, but punishment is enforced. A coach can leave and take the recruits he recruited with the funds of the previous university to another institution without any punishment and with a much greater detriment. It's essentially purchasing a team, and I'm sorry you have your homer blinders on to not realize that it is an issue that needs to be addressed.

20. Piss on your blinders

Memphis has a way to recover any money they think they are owed. They can sue and if it has merit maybe they could win. Sour Grapes

[Threedifferentones]

21. "Piss on your blinders"

And he's the one who's sour? lol

You are angry, probably because you know there's no denying "if coach Cal did that to you you'd be so pissed at him."

You'd probably call him an asshole then, too, just like the rest of the country.

[era veteran]

22. Angry my ass, I'm ecstatic! We have the #1 TEAM in the country

and you loser/ whiners are pissed off enough to reply. You are right though, I call lots of people assholes. Go Big Blue

[MadBadger]

9. Well, they better watch out for Cornell

Cuz they dont miss. I would know :cry:

[era veteran]

12. Sorry, you lost but UK is not UW

We won't look past them. They are one of the few teams with an all time lead over UK 1-0. I know a Cornell player, Mark Coury. Young walk on transferred to the Big Red from UK. Fine young man, but he will get beat.
