For some reason I woke up worried this morning. I know Vegas has us as big favorites and I do think we win but man how bad would it suck if we lost.
I think the pressure is on us tonight and I'm starting to feel it
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
If you’re really that worried then just put up some money. Arkansas is +450. That means a $50 bet on them will win you $225. What’s peace of mind worth to you?
Heck yeah it’s on us . I just hope the players don’t let it get to them .
This is a game that will also motivate Pope and the Cats. Should be a good one and I see Kentucky winning….
The only thing is, this game really doesn't mean much more to Pope and the players, than any other game. They have no ill-will towards Cal and the past UK players.
I'm sure Pope wants to win for the fanbase. But this game means a little more to Cal and guys like Adou.
Deep breaths and neat whiskey.
You can't drink all day if you don't get started.

I slept 11 hours last night, I feel no pressure.
This year's team seems to perform better under pressure.
I'm not worried a bit about this game. UK isn't gonna lose at home to an unranked team.
I'm driving up to the WWE Royal Rumble Indianapolis so I'm going to be focused on that. Rumble starts at 5:30 so hopefully it's over by the time the game starts.
I made the right move I think cuz I don't want to be stuck thinking about this game all day... Especially with Lamont not playing.

They feel pressure too, coming back to their coach’s previous stop and want to get the w for him especially our former players. He’s still that arrogant coach that thinks he’s the smartest in the room guy which Pope can take advantage of. There’s pressure on both sides regardless of records, cats should win 15 atleast cause I can see them quitting if we start pulling away.
I wish I could sleep 11 hours. How are you able to pull it off? I usually can only manage six or seven hours at the most, and that's with all sorts of sleeping supplements.
Travis Perry maybe does because cal didn’t want him but everybody else has no beef in this fight
I hope our kids play with an attitude!!
We don't have one kid on our team that Cal would have recruited, (Perry doesn't count because he would have never seen the floor) so I hope our kids keep that in mind!!

He didn’t want Noah either.
It may be a loss, but it is hard to see the Hogs coming in and beating us in Rupp Arena. It would far and away be their biggest win of the year. It may even be a whole lot closer than what everyone thinks, being that we are minus Butler (but they're without Fland) and we may not have Carr.
Keep the faith. The team knows how big this game is. They're not immune to the buzz. Not from the get go.
Let's have some BBQ tonight!
Go Big Blue !

And Jaxson Robinson has no love for Arkansas
I ate ribs last night, sausage and eggs this morn, ham sand now, smoking a pork loin for tonight.
Woooooo pig....booey!

That would truly be painful to watch again!
Pope is so cool and calm under pressure, Cal will have his team all hyped and jacked, they will be nervous and uncertain, and will piss it down their leg. Coaching matters, and Pope ie way out in front of Cal on the X’s and O’s and in game adjustments.
I'm a little nervous because I'm not sure how well we'll handle Z and Thiero.
You're right.
But in those days, Cal would have spent the season underperforming with multiple 1st round NBA draft picks. And he'd get a good game out of them on the right nights.
His only 1st round pick was Fland. And he's done for the season.
No joke. Only way I can pull that off is if I have absolutely no where to be the next day or little/nothing to work on. Needless to say I only get one of those a month roughly. And even then I wake up like every 3-4 hours. Sucks.
Y'all cheer loud for me tonight. The freaking department manager was out last week so my paperwork JUST got submitted to HR Friday. Another week of waiting to get out of this crap. Wanted to be home to watch this game but not in the cards.
I'm sure we've reviewed go and run, but did we get a chance to review fight?
I believe it’s on them. None of our players know Ca, have played for him or see Arkansas as a rival. They on the other hand have three of our former players, three former recruits and Cal that were all tied to UK.
The pressure is on CCC, and no one else ! When he walks out of the locker room, you wouldn't be able to drive a ten-penny nail into has a - - with a sledge hammer ! ! ! And we all know - all too well - about how puckered CCC's a - - gets at crunch time !
It's crunch time tonight at Rupp Arena for the now-infamous CCC !
Go 'Cats ! ! !

Arkansas resume isn't very good. 1-6 in the SEC. They need wins badly just to have a chance to make the post season. Their best win is vs GA.
You think Pope wants to lose to the former coach less than a year after he bailed?
I get the Cal motivation, but my guess is Pope and team will be juiced for tonight.

I'm sure there's some of that. But it's simply a question of the previous guy is always going yo want to prove the point that he was the reason for the success.
