Is it safe yet....

....to come out of hiding?

Have the Dark Ages finally come and gone?

Can we officially put UF's reign in the history books to be locked away forever?

Will order be restored the way it used to be or will there be some Dark Age fallout?

I've some how made it through these trials and tribulations. Through sheer determination and will.

A new hero has arrived to bring hope to the Bluegrass. He goes by the name of Billy Clyde. I'm beginning to see the smoke clear and the dark clouds start to dissipate.

Who else?

We got the RIGHT Billy........

Hopon for the ride with Billy Clyde.

I'm right there with ya brother.

I and everyone else I've talked to agree, we have the right man for the job! All the hype about Billy D is over. Now is the time to ensure your UK/Gator tickets for next yr, we're going to take um!

[Terry L. Wildcat]

:cool:Amen brother...even though he was my only choice I was over it before I hit happy hour...I've said this all my life: THE CATS WILL BE BACK...not that we go anywhere...I'm happy to have Coach Gillispie as our coach...he's my HillBilly.

I'm glad to see the arrival of Billy but I am very sad to see UF losing all of their core players. I enjoy seeing the SEC as an all around power house and I would love to see the conference get 8/9 + teams in the tournament one day.

I have no problem seeing Florida's team being dismantled. I am a conference guy, but I hate being dominated like we have been the last few years.

Folks, I'm no more happy with Florida's winning streak against us than any other UK fan, but I MUST point out that prior to the start of their little run, we flat OWNED them in the nine games prior to that, 8-1 to be exact. That information,coupled with the hiring of our new coach, should let you know that the natural order of things is about to be restored. :D

Besides, The Gators are losing their top six players and will be in major rebuilding mode. Reality is going to set in on them pretty quick.

[blueheretic]

I think the change that will take place has more to do with the positive changes made at UK.

UF loses their top 6 but so did UNC after their Nat'l Champ run and they still came toRupp and handed us a loss.

I don't think that Rupp is going to be seeing as many losses in the years to come as they did in the past 9 or so.

Ruppwill become the place it was under Pitino and other coaches again.

UKis again on an upwardtrajectory and I think it will be because of the things that our Coach will do as opposed to what UKs opponents do.

Gillispie seems like a guy who doesn't care what other teams are planningto do to UK. He's busying himself with what he is going to do to the opponents. I like the change in attitude.

Can't wait to see it on the floor.
