He hopes Kansas will beat Kentucky
Meh, he didn't really say anything crazy but eff the guy.
**Funny 'cause he's usually very anti-KU / pro-UK.
you just dont walk into phog allen fieldhouse and come out with a W. there is a huge intimidation factor once you look up into the rafters and see all those kenpom, rip, sargin, and regular season banners hanging.
**Funny 'cause he's usually very anti-KU / pro-UK.
***I've been to Allen & Rupp. NO COMPARISON!!!!!
Allen likely 1,000,000 x rowdier / crazier & certainly louder than Rupp for a game of this stature. There isn't a bad seat in the place and they're "on top of you".
When I'd been at Rupp in the upper deck it felt like a minor league hockey arena.
I never said he was being over the top, I even stated it wasn't anything crazy he said. I don't care for the guy and his hard on for hating UK, so yes eff the guy. If you really think Goodman is pro UK, please put down the pipe.**Picks a 3-POINT Win for Kansas on their home floor with most any preseason polls etc. picking KU at most maybe 2 spots behind UK in the rankings and the game's in Lawrence....."eff him"?
He's not exactly being over the top proclaiming KU will kick UK's a$$es!!!
Isn't the game in January? That's not really early in the season.
We always have a new group, I feel pretty good about our chances. We could very well lose that game but I really don't think we will.
Skal, Murray, Ulis, Briscoe, Poy
That's a lot of talent in our lineup man, fvck Kansas.
I'm not saying we can't win, or won't win....just saying that it's not insane to think otherwise. No reason to jump all over Goodman for his pick.
Perhaps, on Jan. 30, we might witness Skal or Jamal Murray pull-off another Kevin-Durant-in-Allen-Fieldhouse type of performance (2007):
Below is a link to an article about the amazingness and significance of Durant's AFH performance, with quotes from Durant's father, Bill Self, several sports-writers, and from an awe-struck Danny Manning, who himself was 'a one-man show' (before his career-altering, nba, rookie-season knee injury). Manning's still the ncaa men's 10th-place all-time scorer (and best 'passing big man' I've ever seen). (Note: In the 1988 championship game, he had 31 points, 18 rebounds, 5 steals, 2 asts, and 2 blocked shots.):

Video highlights of that 2007 Durant game:
Or, perhaps Murray will pull a "Peeler":
In 1992, Mizzou's Anthony Peeler went to AFH and hung 43 on KU:
Note: Purdue's Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson hung 44 on KU, back in the 1994 NCAA Tourney (NOT in Allen FH)(Purdue won by 5), but Robinson suffered a back injury at the end of that KU game and, in Purdue's next game, vs. Duke (an Elite Eight match-up), he didn't move well and scored only 13. Of course, Duke went on to win, then play for the title (where they lost to Arkansas).
If UK can go into an insane AFH, against a team that has revenge on their mind from the beat down last season and win, all I can say is we would be definite title contenders.
Not many win there, most are legit but they are known to get a very favorable whistle. I even saw a game Selden was hustling for a loose ball and clearly stepped out of bounce by the scorekeepers table and KU got the ball. There isn't much room on the baselines at all, hope no players are injured.
I say Kansas wins, but only because they'll have homecourt. On a neutral site we win by 15, possibly maybe much much worse.
Seriously? How can you even predict that. You haven't even seen anyone on your team play with the exception of Ullis, Poythress and Lee. ETA: And I mean you haven't seen them play as a team. Watching your incoming freshmen play in high school all-star games, youtube highlight videos, or National teams with completely different players with different skillsets, doesn't count.
I'd take the Phog over Rupp, as far as atmosphere. It's no secret that the blue hairs fall asleep early and often. As for coaches, I'll take Cal, and I still think we're undeniably better at every position. Having said that, I think home court advantage could be huge in this game. Put it on neutral court and UK wins this.
We did see your players get stomped down by us and TEMPLE..so there's that...
HMMM . Lets see. We got to see Murry at the pan am games. Thought he was awesome..

You're just gonna have to accept the fact that we're a little better at this whole "Basketball" thing than you are.
Wow, KU fans don't even recognize their own fans.Not according to Kentucky superfan 23W's![]()
Just as Davis, Gilchrist, Jones, Lamb, Teague and Miller didn't suit up for UK last season.Didn't know that Trey Lyles, the Harrison Twins, KAT, DJ, WCS, Booker were suiting up for you all again this January?![]()
Wow, KU fans don't even recognize their own fans.
Anyhow. Most fans of teams will always be biased. Goodman is no different. If he any integrity, he wouldn't show bias, but that's clearly not the case.
No confusion, Just realize you have nothing to do but troll a UK message board with lame jokes. It's ok though, I don't mind you attention seeking to try and keep KU relevant here. Clearly the games between the two programs hasn't.
Troll on the wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done, Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more. - Kansas
Are you blaming the refs already?
Do you think Kentucky gets favorable calls in Rupp?
OK hoss. Keep selling KU to UK. I get the reasoning behind it. Last year, and the title game still stings. I'm sure I'll see you around later today and tomorrow as well. Hell, you're on a UK board more than I am, and I'm a UK fan.
BTW, I was curious how KU fans were getting likes here, and now I see there's so many of you here daily, it adds up. You guys really are desperate for attention and acceptance. For the betterment of the board, I'll just add you two lovebirds to my ignore list. Have fun attention seeking.
