ah right. for some reason I thought Ole Miss was on the same side of the bracket Vandy will be tough for Ole Miss too IMO but certainly more winnable. I keep thinking Tennessee was on the Kentucky side bc I'm amazed they made it up to #2


Can't blame you for that; I'm still stuck in the OLD way we did things (east vs west). Keep forgetting that's not how it works this year.

FWIW I certainly hope you beat Vandy tonight:). Right now I'm quite nervous about the UF game - I hope you're right that yesterday would be the only "down" game UK has during the tournies.
You know, Coach Grant is QUITE the attractive person :thup:

I spent a few months in Lexington for work.. I had a great time, and was surprised at the amount of talent I came across.


I live in a little town NE of Louisville - it's beautiful out there!

I did love New Orleans too though; we explored a bunch of the side streets when there....Bourbon Street is only dirty in the morning <G> By afternoon the street cleaners have been there and it's ready for the nighttime!! :cheers:

I wasn't arguing that you don't have football fans. Just that I'm not sure I believe that "Most UK fans prefer football." I think thats a bit of an oversell. The fact that you DO have football fans even with the product that has been put out recently is a testament. As Cat said though... rather have a BCSNCG over BBall NC... I buy this but I think most UK fans feel that isn't a realistic goal with the current administrative focus.


I think that's pretty much dead on; and you consider now that UofL (our big instate rival) has Charlie Strong who has been tearing up the recruiting trail, it makes it that much harder. I will say though....I wouldn't chose as BCSNCG over a BBall NC......what's wrong with wanting both? :)

I prefer basketball myself; but have already been slammed for perpetuating the stereotype ::sigh::

Congrats Cats. Good game. I'll be pulling for y'all the rest of the way. We played way better than I expected. I'm proud of our guys for their performance today.


All props to LSU and their performance today. Great job by your guys - especially Hickey and Stringer (?) :cheers:

LSU came to play today. We look sluggish so far.


Very......seems to generally happen though with early after noon games.

Georgia is a lot better than their record.


Didn't UGA beat Notre Dame earlier in the year?
Apparently it does exist:
?@KyleTucker_CJ: If looking for it, Davis billboard in NOLA is on S. Claiborne Ave. off Pontchartrain Expressway overpass. West side of Superdome.

Just because you, and people from there, think it's so great doesn't mean that everyone agrees with you. You people get so defensive if someone doesn't absolutely love the place.


I have to agree w/ Catfan here; it's a matter of what appeals. I personally prefer NOLA to Atlanta - but everyone has a right to their opinion

We DO love our Jorts :)

Seriously? You don't play today. You're in New Orleans. The best/coolest/most fun thing you find to do is watch bad SEC basketball?


Most of the time to even GET tickets, you buy ticket packages....which means a pass to ALL the games (the cheapest ones I saw for this year were around 300 I think).

Besides, most of us just really enjoy basketball, and/or want to see who we'll be playing next.

Not a SEC uniform, but Dennis Dodd just tweeted this picture of Baylors uniform today.


Oh dear Lord, I'm blind!!

Just go back to the 70's with short shorts and long hair and pick any team!


I happened to LIKE the short shorts <G>
quote:

Me too. I had the whole uniform actually. The shoes were the most uncomfortable things I've ever put on my feet. My feet were bloody after I wore them to school for the first time.


Hubby had the same problem; for me though...they were pretty comfortable. Of course I had to get the boys size because they didn't make a women's version.

LSU vs Arkansas Alabama vs South Carolina Ole Miss vs Auburn Mississippi State vs Georgia


LSU
Alabama
Ole Miss
Mississippi St

or.....it might be the other way around
The Denim was bad; but I thought the "cat scratch" shorts were worse.

I will admit to having a pair of the denim converse though - think I might still have them somewhere, LOL

The worst, I thought, were those ugly-arse Nike Elite things we had to wear this year. :rolleyes:

Generally speaking, how delusional or out of touch with reality is your fan base (SEC teams only)?


UK Basketball fans aren't delusional at all; we're simply.....right
