They Cried All Week that we would Lose

[Aike]

And they are still crying after we win.

Rivalry game. Missing a key starter at the last minute.

Did enough good to feel good about. Made enough mistakes to learn from. Won the game.

Won the game.

Won. The. Game.

 

[loublue22]

it's close enough that they can blame refs or Cal or aliens or whatever, but that almost makes it better

 

[Aike]

I need some waffles because their tears taste like maple syrup.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

We get wins they get excuses!

 

[gocats012089]

Plenty to learn from, but I'd rather learn from a win! lol

 

[Fawrules]

That noise you just heard was the sound of a million UofLol fans pounding out their annual "We don't care about a meaningless game in December, and we beat y'all in football" tweets/posts, even though you know had the shoe been on the other foot and they'd actually pulled out the victory, you would of never heard the end of it.

 

[Blouman]

Wasn't pretty but it was sure better than LOSING!

 

[CatPhight]

Tards = 0 - 2 against teams in the Top 200

BOOM!

That isn't fair. Pretty sure Grand Canyon was 131st.

I`m glad we won but i`m just scratching my bald head over this team. It almost seems that they`ve never been in a pressure situation before.It`s baffling.

some deep sore red ass in gooeyvill:

83ulcard83---i truly mean it, what do we get out of this game? The officiating is always 1 sided towards UK, it's UK's Super Bowl, it gives them a quality win right before their practice (oops I mean $EC) schedule starts and it gives UK bragging rights which makes them insufferable.

When we were in the Metro and C-USA we needed this game. We don't need it anymore. I'd prefer to dump UK and replace them with another national power that could rotate. We could play Indiana, Ohio State, UCLA, Gonzaga, Kansas, etc. We could bring back the Cincinnati series. I would argue UK needs the game more. We are in the ACC, nationally recognized as a power, generate more revenue than any other school and have the best college basketball arena in the country. Someone tell me why we need UK anymore?

I would be okay with a neutral site compromise. Play the game in Louisville but make it neutral site, 50:50 fan allotment, we don't get to use our regular locker rooms, you could even paint over the court like the NCAA does for tourney games. If UK doesn't want to do that then maybe play at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville or Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indy and make it a 50:50 split.

Whatever the solution is it is time to Tom Jurich to re-evaluate the future of this series. As I stated I think it shod go to a neutral site or be cancelled. We should never allow the UofL-UK game to be played in Rupp Arena ever again.

This was the first one possession game we've had all year. So "this team" hasn't been in this situation.

And we won.

Hahahaha, I love this! UK needs this game more??? Priceless.

Look you can spin it any way you want but the last ten minutes they didn`t play well at all. Yes we won , but I see problems ahead if they continue to play like this.

I'm not spinning anything. You are spinning a win into trouble. It's a 40 minute game. We did what we had to do.

Now comes the point where it's a win-win-win.

We won the game. That's one win.

If Louisville wins the rest of the year, it pads our case for a higher seed. We win there too.

If Louisville struggles the rest of the year, it continues the Christmas spirit deep into the spring. That's also a win.

So really, we win regardless. That must be terrible for Louisville. At least they've go the weekend to drink all their blues away.

 

[55wildcat]

This year ( seeing how Skal is not there yet ) was probably the best chance they've had in a good while at beating UK, now let's jump ahead to next year. Think about the UK team next year..I already like our chances a lot..

They've got their whores to keep them warm.

Loserville fans will never learn.

It was actually a great game except for one classless coach.
