Kentucky looking like a team that can win the whole thing now. Said during halftime of the Baylor Kansas game.
 
I don't get the hate. I don't hate any athletes for what they do on the floor. I may not root for all of them, but I don't hate them. Hate is for murderers and the like.

Keep up, brotato chip.

We hate Jay Williams, Bill Raftery, Jay Bilas, Jimmy Dykes, Billy Packer, Clark Kellogg, Dick Vitale, Digger Phelps, Brent Musberger, Brad Nessler, Seth Davis, Joe Lunardi, and Jim Nantz.

We hate Brad Nessler? And the "Onions" man? Jim Nantz, too? But I like when he does golf. He and Mike Tirico.

I hope you are being sarcastic.
 
I don't think anyone hates Jay Williams, but he said that TAMU was far and away the best team in the SEC, and that we had "no chance" of winning at USCjr. If you are going to deal in those kinds of absolutes, expect to be called out.

A&M he did say, regarding the USC game he is the only one that morning to pick UK, Greenberg, and Bilas picked the Gamecocks. He deserves credit for that !
 
In the last couple of years, I've not listened to the talking heads or the TV announcers. I mute it. Weird I suppose, but I enjoy it more.

Bilas picked UK. Greenberg was the only one thst picked aTm.

Yes, Jay certainly did taunt UK fans a few times this year by saying aTm was the best team in the SEC. He made sure he said it during every gameday…. Until aTm went in their slide.

The sub-par posters on this message board offer more insight than Jay Williams does.

Most of us knew UK had one of the top two backcourts in the nation with a real shot at another Final Four. Williams is actually late to the party, considering UK started trending in the right direction about two weeks ago.

Mike Tirico is the worst thing that ever happened to golf. To heck with all his golf trivia and non-stop minutiae
 
One thing you can say about this comment from Jay Williams- you know he believes it if he said it. He's certainly not one to tell the BBN what they want to hear just to butter us up. He doesn't hesitate to take a jab when given the opportunity. So, high praise like this from him does mean he at least believes it's true.
 
Vandy should be tough Saturday. I'm expecting the typical SEC homer officiating to give them a +10 edge out of the gate.

If we manage to beat them convincingly, expect a lot more of the talking heads to start scrambling to get on board our band wagon.
 
But we love Bill Walton and tom crean.
In all seriousness. I wish Walton would call one of our games. I watch whatever game he broadcasts no matter what and how bad the teams playing are. Watched him call a Pepperdine, gonzaga game a couple weeks ago at 1 AM just because he was an announcer for it. Best in the biz IMO. Guy makes basketball funny. Far and away the best announcer on ESPN.

The dude is high............. on life. It's exactly why i listen to him from time to time. I like those who don't take themselves way too seriously like so many people do these days. It's sports. It's supposed to be entertaining. If it gives you an out of body experience where you do things you wouldn't normally do or say, that says a lot about you.
 
All three game day so called experts dogged us out with every loss and had us wrote off after the LSU game.
Yep,and all J Will is doing is the same old,tired ESPN routine of Good Cop,Bad Cop and thinking we should love him or the others when they begrudgingly say something good about Kentucky while holding a knife behind their back.We all know in their hearts they are all paid Duke and UNC ass kissers.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if you really understand how far beyond our rivalries most of these guys are.

All of these guys do this for a living. They all know, work with, and are friendly with a WIDE range of coaches and players at schools other than the one they graduated from. They have meals with guys from other schools, shoot the breeze with guys from other schools, talk about personal matters with guys from other schools.

Sure, they'll joke about rivalries and that sort of thing on the air, but in reality they are beyond it, in the same way that you wouldn't really care if a coworker you spent years working with and with whom you had a good relationship went to Louisville or Alabama or whatever.
 
This is coming together IMO. Once Willis gets back, with Poythress already playing, and Humphries now giving good minutes.

Plus the defense we are now playing.

Yes we definitely have the talent to win it.
 
If our guards come out shooting 50%fg and 35%+3fg, Kentucky will be hard to beat. Most of our losses are because of some officiating BS. No road games in the tournament, so every team is going to have to beat Kentucky straight up.
 
Keep up, brotato chip.

We hate Jay Williams, Bill Raftery, Jay Bilas, Jimmy Dykes, Billy Packer, Clark Kellogg, Dick Vitale, Digger Phelps, Brent Musberger, Brad Nessler, Seth Davis, Joe Lunardi, and Jim Nantz.
In other words, everyone and then some.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
