Maybe so, and thats fine. Take the turnovers away and some seasoning of young players like Liggins...UK has got a pretty damn good team this year.

I have no problem with UK. They're not in the Big East and we see em once a year.

Ive never understood the little brother thing. Its a fun rivalry. What makes it fun is the elitist knuckhead fans start the same ole rants after a loss...Dusting off the old trophies from the 40's and 50's, talking about little brother, bringing up the football game, and using words like Camelot to describe the program and Loserville to describe ours. My favorite is the venom spewing little grudge smears about Pitino.

Seriously UK Crazies....you should hear yourself. Its great entertainment! Long live the rivalry!

Joey, the football game is all they have now. When we beat them in football, they would have the old excuse that they were a football school. They didn't care about football. Now that the tables have turned they can only fall back on football. Our womens basketball team dusted them, our baseball team is going to the world series and all they have is a C-USA championship...in soccer. They used to make fum because we went to the Libert Bowl and played...now who is going to Memphis???? LMAO

You didn't complete your thought there Mr. Pussy-killer. We were making fun of your sorry butts because your team couldn't hardly purchase a win in a bowl game for years. When your team did finally win one you fools started talking about your elite football program. You had no tradition then and you have none now. I can understand you excitement over the big win. Just know that your team was never really dominant. If they can only beat UK on their home floor on a last second shot how are they going to play against all the ranked teams in the BE?
It is going to be a long year for you redbirds.

Boo hoo! You emerged victorious. Be happy. Celebrate. Move on. Don't dwell on Kentucky. They're a lowly unranked team, who plays in a horrible conference... remember? So this victory does nothing to inflate your RPI, much less dent the Big East playing field.

If we're going to discuss elitism, I'd be happy to address the Cardinal inferiority complex. Since Wildcat success is so unearned, then why do you even validate our cheers and jeers with argument? Belittle our achievements as much as you wish, but I'm willing to bet that if Louisville had 7 championships, was number one in wins, and held a slew of other Kentucky records, you guys wouldn't shut up about it. What is a string of wins and/or championships, for that matter, if nothing more than amnutition to brag? I hear enough trash spewed about your two titles and eight-year run as it is.

Newsflash! The elite programs are ELITE because they're success has been spread over a sixty-year period of time. That's how it works in every sport, college or pro. Carey Wood had a really good rookie season. Is he the greatest pitcher ever? Even a diehard Cubs fan wouldn't make that claim. The conversation would be dominated by the likes of Cy Young, Nolan Ryan, Walter Johnson, Steve Cartlon, and similar athletes who were able to ammass exceptional pitching records over lengthy periods of time.

UNC, Duke, and Kansas didn't build their respected Romes in a day. Hell, UNC started playing in 1910 and won their first championship in the 57'. That was a fairly long time ago. So, what's your point? The historical depreciation rhetoric is attuned to that of children who try the call "The Dark Knight" and "Lord of the Rings" the greatest films ever. Florida has compiled the most championships of any team in the last five years, yet failed to make the tournament in the previous. But by your standards they're the best program in college basketball.

Congrats!!! You won the annual rivalry game, on a relatively uncontested prayer, by a guard whom your coach has made attempts to run off, against an unranked team. Do you pound chest and pump fist every time you take a shit or step on a bug? The three Louisville losses have also come at the hands of UNRANKED TEAMS. The Cards have yet to win against, let alone play, a ranked team. If this victory carries enough gravity to make you cream your pants... beware of the KO punch from teams like ND, Pitt, and UConn.

I'll tell you what. Win, like, two more championships and pull somewhere within the top 10 on the overall victories list, and then we can MAYBE, embark on an adult discussion. Until then, all I'm hearing is furious chatter from a jealous person.

Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. And try to refrain from feeling blessed just because you got six paragraphs out of me in reply to your discussion. If you'll notice, six paragraphs is well below my average on this site. That's just the way I write, brevity not being one of my greatest virtues.

A couple of "on seasons" doesn't make you an elite program any more than a couple of "off seasons" removes you from the elite list. Like it or not, UK is one of the ELITE programs in the country... always has been, always will be. Billy G. will bring them back to the promised land. Based on yesterday, I think they may get there quicker than I thought they would. If UK is NOT an ELITE program, I guess you don't consider UCLA, Duke, UNC, and Kansas elites either. (In case you don't know, they are the TOP 5 ELITE programs according to the real experts.) Shows either your total lack of history and knowledge, or your complete envy of the programs, or BOTH!!! Good luck cards. GO CATS!!!
