Has Tennessee ever made a Final Four?

We have not, but that doesn't change the fact that our program is light years ahead of UGA's. Facilities, history, tradition, fan support, practically any metric you can go by.

7 SEC titles to UGA's 1
20 Tournament appearances to UGA's 9

It’s pretty straight forward, really.

Damn... We beat a UNC team with Jordan, Perkins, Dougherty, Peterson & Hale on it to reach the Final Four in our 1st NCAA tournament trip ever the year after Dominique left... Wow...

Well, to be honest, the UK hate for Arkansas is understandable. Before we joined the SEC Kentucky's stately march to the conference championship was all but assured.

Then the Hogs showed up and for the first time in a long time teams realized that while Kentucky has a great basketball tradition for a reason they can be beaten. Not to say that Kentucky then went into the terlet completely. No, they had some great teams and great wins.

It is just that now the blueprint is out there. Invest in basketball, get a good coach (something my poor Hogs have avoided), and recruit well... you do that and Kentucky, for all it is a premier basketball program, is ripe for the taking.

If anything this run by the current Kentucky team is to be admired... because with the influx of cash and the need for highly rated basketball games the league as a whole should improve over the next few years and Kentucky will very likely find itself in the position of Alabama.

An elite program of course. But one that has to fight its way to the conference title.

Congrats? What have those regular season wins gotten your program?

Dude, my whole point in the comment I made was that kicking the crap out of friggin 'arkansas' means absolutely nothing as far as building a program. Ole Miss has won almost every game between the 2 the last 15 years, and we don't make a pimple on the arse of college basketball. however, for some reason hog fans still boast that their program is elite. oh, the irony!

We need this win.

Tough to win in Vandy with the goofy court.

I hope we pull it off heading knot next week.

You're Ole Miss basketball.

I feel bad even arguing any point with you.

I usually donate some of my time to help local special needs kids. So, how can I talk down to who I try to help?
