When Arkansas players said this last year it really lit a fire in our guys... They destroyed them... Obviously this is a completely different team but I hope it would make them come out with the same attitude.

 

[CGblue]

So after getting their asses handed to em three times in the last week they're all of a sudden ready?? OK, got it..

 

[UKWildcats#8]

LOL guards better than ours? Absurd.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

what do you expect, they spent 0 time on those last 3 games and spent every second of the last 3 weeks practicing for UK.

You're right!

LOL

Bruce Pearl will have that team, the students, and the whole community fired up!

 

[.S&C.]

I wonder what rule Bruce will be breaking tomorrow. Or, will his thugs be armed.

Or who he will be snitching on?

Or who he'll be lying on.

Pos.

Fixed.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

What kind of a numb-skull says something like that to fire-up your opponent? Ulis will be on him like a fart in an elevator.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Against Auburn, Skal has a chance to get his confidence back against a smaller opponent.

Let's not piss them off,......they still got weapons you know

 

[Xception]

Patrick Towles thought we were going to win the SEC .

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

I've watched Auburn 5 times this year. They'll play above their heads for a while, possibly even be beating us by 10 or so .. then about 5 minutes into the 2nd half they will fall apart and we'll pick them apart.

 

[ulismyman]

I was worried about them being flat....thanks Auburn for taking care of that

 

[kyups01]

Oh man, I bet our team (especially our bigs) take that to heart and come out and absolutely dominate them from start to finish tomorrow! They get so fired up over things like this and ALWAYS humiliate the teams and players who say this type stuff! I bet Skal is so pissed he's about to stroke out!





said nobody, ever.

[Macy's socks]

Should we expect them to say they have no shot and just throw in the towel? I would hate for our players to have that same mentality especially with a home game at Kansas coming up. Hell I want our guys saying they are better than the other team regardless if they are or not.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Pearl won't be happy bout this running of the mouth. Why fire up our guards you big dummy? I see 16-2 Kentucky to start the game now.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Missouri beat Auburn by 15. If we don't beat them fairly easily, it'll say a lot about us.

 

[WeWant9]

Im guessing this is an Auburn player, which is pretty stupid. It's one thing to have confidence going into a game, but this is unwarranted cockiness. Saying that you already think you'll beat a team doesn't usually work out. Especially when said team is 7-8.

I hate this type of attitude SEC teams have. In league play, you should be jacked up for all games and not just have that hunger when UK comes to town.

You don't say it, you do it. Talk is cheap. Talking crap before a game is stupid.

Our subs be saying in postgame interview, "Like I told Bowers before we left, I should've kicked your ass, my own damn self.

I guess if we keep saying this against every opponent, sooner or later it might come true.

power of positive thinking! - hey, it doesn't cost anything

I'm glad they feel that way - but I hope Cal posted his comments where our guys could read them. Anything could happen, of course - but he didn't help their cause

 

[calamitybone]

He just needs to concentrate on rebounding and garbage buckets. Apparently, he now sees himself as a stretch 4 and has been jacking more 3s this year. His percentage is up but I can't imagine Pearl wants him out there.

 

[SosaUK]

What kind of a numb-skull says something like that to fire-up your opponent? Ulis will be on him like a fart in an elevator.

Isn't he a forward?

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Isn't he a forward?

Dont know about that but he'll be a Backward after tomorrow night! Dont wake the beast.

[Blueisbest]

There should be no reason this game is close unless we play like crap. Of course that has happened a few times this year. So...

 

[2Adulterers]

This clown is Cinmeon (his mother obviously couldn't spell Cinnamon)Bowers..a 1 star recruit with a lot of excess weight..also known as "Fat Boy Bowers" Auburn has lost 18 straight to UK so he chooses to poke the bear..
Not too smart to do this unless you can back it up..

 

[katwest]

I expect him to say that, only problem is, nobody else believes him, they may beat us but it won't be because they have better guards.

I hope our guys aren't talking crap before the Kansas game.

No offense, but I just heard this story on the news and thought "I'll post this as a thread". And then decided against it by thinking someone will say "What are they supposed to say?!" When I got on the board and saw this thread, I thought "Ooh, there it is already. . ." and opened to see if I was right or not.

Wish I had the same ability for the Powerball. I don't mean this as offensive to you, just sayin . . .

 

[KYtotheCore]

Pushing the button wasn't enough for me on this. This is hilarious!

 

[brianpoe]

Wait a minute...

When did Daxter Miles Jr transfer to Auburn...?

 

[kyjeff1]

I wonder what rule Bruce will be breaking tomorrow. Or, will his thugs be armed.

Or who he will be snitching on?

Or who he'll be lying on.

Pos.

Remember now, they've got weapons!

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Dont underestimate confidence. Briscoe gained it in the second half Alabama with his mid range jumper and then just kept knocking em down all game against MSU as well.

I never said Skal was going to be what we want him to be but Auburn is a smaller team and if Skal can get a few buckets , get his confidence back .. then thats at least a start.

 

[Dakota25]

Of course their players are going to say that. They may not actually think it but they are not going to say that they have no chance to the media

 

[dave5164]

Auburn has lost 5 out 6 and since they lost 2 important players on the team in T.J. Dunans & Shamsid-Deen they have been a different team. Dunans was averaging 15ppg and Shamsid-Deen was the leader on the team. Dunans shot over 40% from 3 and with these two Auburn was pressing alot and now that they are both down Auburn doesn't press as much. They are a smaller team with forwards Bowers, Granger at 6'7 and Harris at forward. This could be game for Skal to score some points underneath and with his game vs. MSU in 14 minutes he looked better. I also believe with Kanty, Brown, and Lang at guards they don't even compare to Ulis, Murray, and Briscoe. Briscoe getting his confidence back vs. Bama and going for 7/9 vs. MSU is promising. We need to come out playing strong and playing good ball and build a nice lead in 1st half.
