GO CATS!!!!
WOOOOO!!!!!
 
Forget '99-'08 all full with different levels of disappointment.

Won a title in '12 with a coach that came in blazing and owned CBB

Should have won at least two more....but didn't.

Coach became lazy, bitter and stubborn.

Hired Mark Pope, the captain of the '96 Cats, just 3 years prior to your coma...he will lead us back the promise land and #9.
 
Sleeping through Dale Earnhardt's fatal right turn. 9.1.1 . And Tiger Woods waitress period, doesn't sound too bad.

Billy Joel playing at MSG right now so will give it my best shot (and yes I realize this is more than 5 sentences)

Richard Hamilton, El-Amin
Magliore no help, Mateen Cleaves
Blunthenthal, Sam Clancy and USC
Team Turmoil ousted by the Terps

Bogans bouncin’ back in a big way
But couldn’t get by D-Wade
Ronnell Taylor, Donnell Taylor
Thomas Izzo

Randolph Morris saved by a fax
We’re all over ball line defense
Rondo-Tubby, Great Divide
Rudy Gay splashing in our eye

Desperate times with Bobby P
Donovan’s got a 2-time winning team
Joachim Noah, Corey Brewer
Say hey Tubby goodbye

(CHORUS)
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning since BBN’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
Though we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it

Billy Clyde, Ramel and Smooth
Gardner Webb creating doubt in Game 2
Coury Flurry, Patterson, Jasper, Meeks
Pop Tarts, Michael Porter, BG Drinkin’ Around The Clock
“That was a bad question Jeanine,”
Pitino/Louisville’s got a winning team
VMI, Meeks 54 in Vols Land
Hansbrough, 8th graders gettin offers all the time
Burger Boys, we cannot sign
Cutler chasing Billy down the hall
Trouble in the Craft Center

(Chorus)

Calipari, Wall, Boogie, KSR, the fun is back
Bledsoe, Orton, 5 first round picks
Body slamming Swopshire, JC getting the best of The Crypt Keeper
Lebron does the Y, One and Done, Dribble Drive Basketball
Starkville Boogie call me, everyone doin’ the John Wall

Brandon Knight, Free Enes, Emmert led mafia
T Jones can hoop, Jorts, Return Final Four, Kemba makes sure it’s a no-go
AD and MKG, Teague and a Super Team
Christian Watford, Dethroning Cards and Hawks and clinching banners in the Super Dome

(Chorus)

Nerlens, NIT, “Won’t be held hostage again”
Harrison twins, freshmen stumbles, Dakari Johnson
"It will be a great story", And The Tweak
Upset Shockers, James Young, Cal beats Rick in the Sweet 16
Aaron Harrison three times in a row to the title game
What else do I have to say?

(Chorus)

Platoon, Willie Cauley-Stein , Harrison twins back again
38-0, Wisconsin, Duke steals another, Undefeated dreams shot
Ulis, Murray, Monk, Bam and Fox
Championship stolen by a Rooferee,
UNC raises the banner again

SGA, PJ, UCLA, Cal starting to slide
Covid cancels the NCAA, 9-16, T-Clarke, Fail and Bail, early exits, Hagans Snapchats
Oscar POY, Sharpe sits, transfer portal, Saint Pete, Sahvir fits
Reeves, UConn x2, Nashville Blues, C’mon John get a clue
Rob and Reed, Oakland, Cal fan and media wars
BBN can’t take it anymore!

(CHORUS x 3)

Fantastic
 
10 Loss Seasons and early tournament exits became the norm—with a few exceptions—until 2009-10, and then became the norm again in 2020-21 until now. The in-between years were mostly magical, with 4 Final Fours in 5 years, 1 Championship (and 1 NIT bid, too🤷‍♀️, I said “mostly”).

Pitino became the head coach of…wait for it…UofL, and fell out of favor with UK fans over this and various scandals.

Tubby went to MN where they were more than glad to have a coach who consistently had 10 loss seasons.

Calipari, though the most winning college coach of all during his time at UK (but only ONE NCAA Tournament win and ONE SEC Tournament win in the final 3 seasons), left to coach Arkansas!

Tubby turned out to need a GM and player whisperer and fizzled his way to Minnesota.

We hired a drunk to replace him so you know how that goes but at least we didn't go on probation.

Our AD was "strongly encouraged" to bring in Calipari after the drunk melted down, you know that coached that UMASS team with Camby and we went to like four Final Fours and won a Championship.

The last we were 38-0 and lost to Wisconsin but after that still competitive until this decade where we haven't won a SEC season or tourney, gotten out of the first weekend, have missed one, and have gone one and done two out of the past three years so he pigheaded his way to Arkansas.

Mark Pope has been our coach for a week now and you may need more sentences to catch up on the game overall.

Also, we were attacked in 2001, went to war, Bruce Jenner is now female, Michale Jackson is dead, R Kelly is in jail, Tiger Woods lost his toes, a black guy was President, Donald Trump became president and then got mad he was thrown out,

Also, iPhones huh? Pretty neat compared to AOL amiright?

Tubby already peaked, but at least he was better than the guy after him that locked our center in a bathroom stall and lost to Virginia Military f-n Institute.

We hired a shady Italian – no, John Calipari – Pitino went on to coach Louisville and become one of the most hated figures in Kentucky basketball history while orchestrating at least three major scandals involving cheating and sex.

Calipari won us a championship and had one of the most dominant six year runs in college basketball before fizzling out and pissing off the fans and boosters during a global pandemic. Oh yeah, that was a whole thing.

Now Mark Pope is coach and Kentucky fans maybe love Pitino again.

The last 4 years we've not been on probation. With our results it just looks like we've been on probation.
 
We were pretty good then we were just flat and boring. Got a new coach but he sucked. Got another one and he was amazing until he wasn’t. Now Mark Pope who you should remember pretty well is our coach and we’re excited to see what he can do. Now hit the showers. It’s been a long time and you smell weird.

1. One championship in those 25 years.
2. You missed 24 season ending losses.
3. One was after winning 27 straight during the 100th season.
4. One was after winning 38 straight trying to go undefeated.
5. One was in the title game.
