2009 College World Series BaseballChamps - LSU
2010 BCS Football Champion - Alabama
2010 NCAA Basketball - ???

Will the Cats keep the SEC streak alive? LSU most baseball National Championships among SEC schools, Alabama most football national championships among SEC schools and Kentucky (in basketball) is expected to follow suit with the most basketball national championships in the SEC. True haters of the SEC would have a legitimate gripe if Kentucky completes the trifecta.

How did you go about living in Costa Rica and how fast is the Internet there?

Fly from Atlanta or Miami to San Jose. Here is a helpful resource depending on how long you want to stay. LINK
I recommend visiting a few times and researching different areas (rain forest, volcanoes, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean). Internet service is improving but it's not rapid yet.

It's like my uncle said the day before he left for Costa Rica to his DAUGHTER'S wedding...

Costa F'ing, Mother F'ing, Rica!

Whatcha doing in CR? Work for Sportsbook? Hotel? US Govt? Other?

Keep thinking I'll visit one of these years. See where all the offshore shops are in the mall. Wanna go to the Peninsula Papagayo Four Seasons.

Ky slightly too greenhorn for the SEC trifecta, though I was hoping they could ramp up for it two months ago. Not gonna have the finesse nor polish to go 6-0, when it counts in the clutch vs a Kan, Syr, Duke, etc..gauntlet..close but no cigar.

Ky should make Sweet 16 or Elite 8 possibly, but will be ripe for the upset vs a MSU, Wisc, Pur, NM, or other physical banger squad thereafter.

Wall will need to be flawless in distributing and score plenty, Cousins and Co will need own glass and deny.

Exploring multiple options in CR. I'm blessed with a Tica who already owns her own business. All I have to do is put the ring on the finger in May.
I don't think Wall and Cousins will be around next year for another run at it. I think they're both one and done. They'll reload next year, but hopefully, the rest of the SEC will catch up with them.

You connected with any of the LSU flagged yacht owning group of friends that were in the marina this past summer?

Ever see Big Mike Yonin down there?

No yachts for me - yet. There's Americans everywhere down here and lots of LSU fans, but the name doesn't ring a bell.

CR is a investment magnet this last decade, from around the world, and not just the offshore bookies sprinkling their loot around the local economy.

CR has plenty sharp cookie citizens, and is tech savvy amongst their fellow banana republic neighbors.

Beautiful beaches, mountains, and new resorts..just gotta get the road infrastrucure and inner city barrios fixed.

Future's bright.

UK will not make the Final Four. Probably not even the Elite 8.


Que the Kentucky fans and their "your team sucks" comebacks.

Way too much pressure?
Bama football has no problem talkin' smack.
Tigers do it well in baseball and BACK IT UP.
Where's the "BIG BLUE?''

Some of us know that our team is young and the odds are against us.

If it was all or nothing on 1 game like football, then it would be far easier to potificate all things UK.

Like baseball, UK will need some help to take out some of the teams that may cause the most unfavorable style of play match-ups.

Man for man on the court, I dare say we size up extremely favorable to every single team in Division 1.

This relates more to Vandy than UK. UK has already proven themselves by winning the SEC and being ranked #2. You've pumped Vandy's nuts all year. It's time they put up or (you) shut up.

I live in Nashville and enjoy attending Vandy Basketball Games. Vandy does not have the talent UK does. Your post is weak and a flame just to be flaming. Get a life.

No, I just like to call you out for being a sellout.

Your original post pertains more to Vandy than UK. UK has done their job. With the amount of shite you've been talking about Vandy it's time that they put up or you shut up. Not a flame, just a fact.

BTW, how can you consider yourself a LSU fan when you've been tea-bagging Vandy all bball season?

Is there something wrong with supporting the college team where one lives? You seem to have a problem with it and that is your choice. I enjoy watching college athlete's succeed with their goals. I also enjoy good coaches helping athlete's realize their dreams as well. Calling this selling out is over the top and saying I'm talking shite about Vandy is laughable. What's interesting about supporting Vandy and the SEC is a very high percentage of people that buy Vandy season tickets are just like me. And Vandy greatly appreciates our support due to how small they are.

Come on dude. I'm an SEC guy like most on here. I pull for SEC teams in bowl games and tournaments. I live in Colorado and like to see CU do well. But if you didn't have "LSU" next to your name, everyone on here would assume you were a Vandy fan. I think most on here would agree with me on you lacking loyalty to your supposed true team.

Don't agree man, It's been a year were Vandy has done well in basketball and LSU has not. Can't help what you want to make of it.
