My freshman year at UK in 99 was when I started following UK basketball. I lived out of state and like 99% of the rest of the country I was primarily a college football fan and didn’t really pay attention to bball until March. By sophomore year 00 I was hooked with big blue and was a rabid basketball fan. We lost to USC in the sweet sixteen that year like a-holes. Outside of 03 and 04 (which ended awful) I never really saw UK dominating or killing it until Cal, and unfortunately Tubby had the charisma of a sweet potato. All of Cals great moments and memories for me typically involved us overwhelming another team with talent (all of ‘12, UCLA and Kansas in 15, etc) or someone making a play (Knight and OSU in 11, Harrison in 14 tournament, etc).

Tuesday night was different. I thought and still do that Duke is much more talented, but we fought and were together and had great plays drew up and won. Won with pure heart and phenomenal X and O coaching. And then Popes analysis and strategy and passion. The whole thing is a completely different and new vibe for me after being a fan for 25 years. If this is what the Pitino years were like I can see why everyone was obsessed with his time here (I thought it was weird when I was at UK) but now I think I get it. I mean what a time to be a UK bball fam right now. What a home run Pope was.

I doubt 99% of the country is college football. Yes it may be more popular than college basketball, but 99% primarily are college football fans ? Maybe I misunderstood your post, but that number seems really high. March Madness is huge and it doesn't become so big without a lot of fans.

There were a few huge scoring efforts last night in the league.

Giannis-59
KAT-46
Jordan Poole-42

Also, Shaedon Sharpe had 33. Bastard

Also, Tatum 36/8/10, Lebron's 3rd straight triple double, he had 35 /12 /14. The night before, Herro dropped 40 /5 / 8. Lots of triple doubles or near triple doubles. Fox had 29 / 6 / 10 on Tuesday. One thing I did NOT have on my card, Grady Dick averaging over 20 and playing like he is. I knew he was talented, but 20 ppg in his second year I never expected. And we hear "stay in school", LOL.

In today's press conference Pope essentially said "these guys aren't computers" but coming from him it sounded like a lecture from a MIT professor.

Cal will get tossed in the 1st half.

I hope not. We might actually get pushed if he’s in the locker room

This fight looks as staged as humanly possible. If it wasn't for the fact that even if Mike Tyson made a deal to take a fall, he still might murder Jake Paul for sheer sport because he's Mike effing Tyson this would obvious.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

otoh Mike Tyson is an almost 60 year old man dealing with bleeding ulcers and sciatica.

 

[august-west]

I don’t know if Tyson can hang for the long haul but I watched a video of him training for this fight and if he’s able to land one of those famous uppercuts he may knock him TF out. Old dude is still lightening quick, looks stout as ever and don’t discount “old man strength “

It cracks me up when I see media and certain fans say this kind of stuff. The need for unconditional love from the fanbase towards a coach that makes millions upon millions to coach a team. GTFO with that nonsense. This isn't the equivalent of supporting your child thru an 8 hour swim meet for Christ's sake!

I'll support them when I feel they deserve it.

If any of you all are tuning in to see Tyson knock that doucher out, I'm afraid you're going to be sorely disappointed. And yes, this feels as staged as the "softball toss" at your county fair's carnival midway.

Mike Tyson has spent the last few years sharpening his mind by solving mysteries and, apparently, embracing nihilism. I think he’ll be raring to go!

… and smoking a metric ton of weed there for a few years. I’ll tune in the same way I flip on WWE from time to time. Same thing.

It is interesting that you can place bets on it.

I think Jake Paul might be a legitimate boxer. He's not had many fights, but has defeated a few quality opponents. He's the type of fighter Tyson would've KO'd in the first round in the '80s, tho.

Tyson was washed up and already didn't look like himself 20 years ago. Sadly, I don't think he can hang, assuming this fight will actually happen and isn't staged.

I miss big time boxing. Can't beat the hype around a 80s-90s Tyson fight. Order some pizzas, beg dad to order the PPV (didn't take much convincing) and have some friends over from the neighborhood to watch a 30 second absolute slaughter.

 

[pretzel__logic]

The Pauls are twats but both Jake and Logan are pretty incredible athletes. Logan does wrestling moves that should not be easy for a guy his size and makes it look effortless.

I wouldn’t fight Tyson if he were a quadriplegic though.

Fans support the program and any part of it that is contributing to its success. Any component that isn’t falling in line with that goal is useless.
