He and Trey Jones must be in a battle to see how many fouls per game they can get away with not being called. Both of those guys reach, hold, hack and hand check more than anyone else by far.
It really doesn't matter because the Vols always flame out in the NCAA tournament when it really counts. When the Vols make a final four you can come back on here and discuss basketball like you know what you are talking about.
It's your frickin' raison d'etre... no wonder you do well against us. The whole, sorry history of Tennessee basketball has been to Beat Kentucky, BEAT KENTUCKY, BEAT BEAT BEAT KENTUCKY... and nothing else. Your "program" is a one trick pony; you'd get some respect if you'd ever done anything else. As it is, it's a complete joke, and the punchline is breathless fans like you on here talking smack to one of the greatest programs in history because it's the only success you've ever known.
You're all pathetic.
So... two years? That is our criteria? Even if we look at the past two years...
During that time UK has won an SEC tournament title while UT has not won either a regular season or a tournament title. Tennessee made their 8th Sweet 16 in the history of the school while Kentucky made their 38th Elite 8 and 44th and 45th Sweet 16s.
So, in 'the last couple,' Kentucky has actually won something and made it further in the tournament than Tennessee in both years.
But hey, I guess if you want to puff up your chest, you have a few more wins against us than usual and in 2019 you prevented us from possibly winning our 5th SEC tournament championship in a row. Here is your cookie.
UT is 6-4 against UK in the last 10 games. If that’s enough for you to come on a rivals message board to talk trash then that’s really sad.
UT has one of their best two year stretches in school history and both years don’t advance further than UK in the NCAA Tournament. If that doesn’t tell you where both programs stand then nothing will.
A couple more fun tidbits;
Since Cal has been here UK has been to as many Sweet 16’s as UT has in their entire history.
Since Cal Kentucky has 6 SEC Tournament Championships—UT has four in their entire history.
Since Cal Kentucky has 5 SEC regular season championships—you’d have to go back to 1977 counting UT’s last 5 regular season titles.
If you want to talk trash about winning a couple of games then by all means go for it I guess. But don’t even for a second suggest that it is a trend or that we shouldn’t expect to beat you year in and year out. We have decades of experience proving otherwise. You don’t get that respect and you never will.
The whole, sorry history of Tennessee basketball has been to Beat Kentucky, BEAT KENTUCKY, BEAT BEAT BEAT KENTUCKY... and nothing else. AND we do that so well !!! By the way, love rush's 2112 ---> one of the 10 greatest albums of all time IMO.
I wish you hadn't said that; you've probably jinxed them and now they won't tour anymore.

Anyway, Moving Pictures is the greatest album of all time
If UT is on the same level as UK in basketball then that must mean they are a legitimate Final Four contender year in and year out, as are the cats, right?
Wait... that is nowhere near close to being the case. Might want to take a step back and rethink that statement just a tad.
Not going to call you names op, I try to discuss things on here as I would face to face. But you know UT is nowhere near Uk in basketball success. Same as we are not in the same class as your football team success wise. Not sure why you are over here selling your wares when you know you have no argument, unless you just like to argue.
Tennessee has the perimeter talent to match Kentucky, but doesn't have the post talent. I think Kentucky will sweep any games they play this year against Tennessee.
Admit it you don't want to call him an idiot because you don't want to offend idiots.
Doubt he is an idiot, because I doubt he believes what he says. Could be wrong, in which case you would be right.
This is basically the same as an IU fan talking trash to us since they’ve won 2 of the last 3 matchups with UK. Or I’ll even get a little more ridiculous and say an UAB fan saying they’re on the same level as UK since they lead the all time series lol. A very small sample of matchups doesn’t come close to putting any of these schools on the level of excellence that UK has accomplished. But I wouldn’t expect the average UT fan to be smart enough to understand something so simple.
Agreed but it is a nice try at making UT seem relevant in the basketball landscape for the UT fan. I rarely engage in these types of discussions because it’s silly. Fans of other programs come here to beat their chests to rile Kentucky fans.
I think Tennessee fans like to only point to today and up to this point in THIS season. I would even give you lately if you could point to Tennessee being Close to splitting with Kentucky historically. Sorry....Tennessee doesn’t stack up. If we are looking at the numbers of a record today at this point in the season....sure but it’s meaningless.
If we are evaluating program prowess, national and international notoriety, fan base, success, wins, championships, not to mention Final Four appearances of which you have none, why do that to yourself as a Tennessee fan. The Tennessee Elite 8 appearances are extremely limited.....seriously it’s just a silly discussion.
Did you see all the complaining going on when Evansville beat us? Evansville has never been to a final four either! Does that make you feel better?
No actually you don't. You're 73-155 all time. Beating a team only 32% of the time is quite the opposite of success.
Another uk poster with limited vocabulary and a small mind. I wonder - comparatively- who is the better ball team : FSU or Evansville ?
You think UK and UT are on the same level and come here to argue that point and to try to receive some sort of validation.
Not sure you're in the position to question anyone else's intelligence.
If you had read correctly, I did not question uk's position - that being the premier or one of the top three programs of all-times- but that recently UT has had success against uk on a regular basis , for several years now. Look at the record head to head and there is no doubt that UT is not afraid of the might wildcats. And I know your response will be or some other poster's will be , but what about the tournament. Again I cannot challenge that but that isn't what I'm talking about. Now , how intelligent of a response this is : is it true or not true?
On level head to head? Seriously? You don’t even have a winning record on your home floor?
People call names because we get over run with trolls from pathetic teams and cheating wannabes. The amount of scum and filth that comes through here trying to start crap is amazing. To claim you are on any sort of level with UK in basketball is just the sort of stupidity and trash talking I’m talking about.
Why do we complain with TN lucks up? If you notice, we bitched a lot about Evansville too. That tell you anything?
Your success against us head to head is basically meaningless, which is why it is being mocked. Vandy has beaten you in football a lot recently... would you claim that Vandy is on your level? You took two of three from us last year...what do you have to show for it? No titles. No trophies. No deep NCAA tournament run. If those things were happening to both UK and UT then maybe, maybe, your argument might carry a tiny bit of water, but that isn't the case. Instead, UK has won something like 4 of the last 5 SEC tournaments and at least have 2 Elite 8 finishes, and a final four over the past 5 years while you have two sweet sixteen appearances (

) and a shared SEC regular season title. I guess the easiest indicator is that Tennessee and its fans celebrate these "accomplishments" while Kentucky fans would largely see them as failures. But hey, whatever you have to tell yourself to feel important.
I. Love. This. What a great response!Son, This is a basketball board. We don’t give 2 sh*ts about football. The fact of the matter is this: UK has beaten the dogsh*t out of Tennessee throughout the history of the rivalry. UK has won over 68% of the games (155-73) and Cal is 12-8 since coming to UK. If you want to puff your chest out because you are lucky enough to beat us roughly 3 out of every 10 times you play us, then go ahead and make yourself look even more stupid. But you must understand, you’re not in UK’s stratosphere as it relates to historical significance in College Basketball. Comparatively speaking, you’re a pimple on UK’s arse. Stay in your lane and you won’t get your feelings hurt.
No doubt you have to use what is available to you for competing or talking smack. You would have a good point if there were trophies, banners or other hardware and recognition given for rising to some level of respectability in the regular season.
Sad program Tennessee national titles 2016* 2019* 2013* *=beat kentucky oh and your football program hasnt done anything since bill clinton was getting his nutsack slobbed on

Here’s the deal! UK is everyone’s Super Bowl including your vawls! So every team brings their A game against us.
Teams go into the game against the vawls thinking this is just another game! Teams play much harder against UK! I mean what have they accomplished by beating puetee? Nothing!
I hope so but we have went into Knoxville many times with a far better team than the Vols, and came out with a loss. Especially at Stokely!
