The big game is getting closer

So allow me to be the first to stick their foot in their mouth. UL 78 UK 68

Really? I thought the line would be more like 15 to 18. Are you just being nice?? :icon_twisted:This thing could get ugly for UK. I honestly don't have a clue on what to predict. Would never say UK will lose, but no prediction from this BIG BLUE FAN!!! Other than a UK win. :widcat:

[Dr. H Lecter]

We are not even deserving of votes in the polls. LilBro on a roll and at home.... If we can come within 25 points it will be a moral victory.

[vols30]

By "Big game", do you mean the UT at Kansas game next Saturday? UT plays Kansas, Gonzaga, and Memphis next month.

Since I'm a outsider, I'll give my fair and honest prediction on the UL/UK game:

UL 73
UK 61

[catfan02]

Preseason Top 3, Final Four centender, playing at home in the biggest game all year for Ricky P in his 8th season at the helm of the "best team I've ever coached". Hell it's a lock for the birds. Anything under 20 is a moral victory for 2nd year coach Billy G who inherited basically no senior or junior class (except Meeks) from Tubby Smith.

[Radiated]

Rivaly game: Toss Up
Homecourt: UL
Experience: UL


UL should win by double digits. But with it being a rivalry game. Who knows. Neither team likes each other.

[TrueblueCATfan]

REALLY depends.....if we get the Loserville team that lost to WKU and Tubby we win hands down..no questions asked

If you get the UK team that lost to VMI and Miami then you win

don't know who will show up:shrug1:

[BigBlue75]

but I learned a long time ago not to get into the trick sack of trying to predict the outcome of UK vs UL in basketball. Everyone is aware of where my loyalties lie. I'll simply say let's just see what happens.

[chworld22]

I have seen UL play a few times and UK play every game I personally think it could go either way.

1) If UK can handle UL's full court defense in the first 10 minutes then UK will have a great shot at winning. UK need to keep T-Will shoting those three's he enjoys from time to time and they need to muscle Samuels they need to get in his face and block his lay ups and if he happens to look like he is getting a easy one give him a good hard clean foul and send him to the line. All offense must go through Patterson and Meeks.

2) For UL to win lets face it is a easy equation. Turn UK over and make easy buckets. Shot the three only when it is open and play in your face full court (fouling, hand checking) defense.

1) UL 81 - UK 89
2) UL 98 - UK 85

[PJ]

Uk 131
UL 12

T-Will gets mad after Mark Krebs tomahawks on his piece and then Samardo passes the ball of his knee. Sosa begs to play and offers Pitino a home cooked pizza from NY while Earl Clark is still in the locker room wondering when the game starts. Preston Knowles has an absurd game with 3 points, 2 assist and one stealing charge.

Jodie goes off for a Career High 68 while Patterson gets his first ever quadruple double. 30 points, 13 rebounds, 14 assists, and 10 blocks.


Coach Pearl from UT phones UK and decides to forfeit both games.

Can I have some too?

[4thecards]

Everyone is sand bagging right now, but if UK wins, they will be all over this board.

[PJ]

No Yule.


LOL, I was just doing that to hide the fact that I'm not 100 percent sure in my team, or either team for the matter of fact. Both of these teams are so good at times, but both are so bad at times. I honestly don't know what to think, and I don't expect much out of Sunday. Hopefully, we get one hell of a game and both teams prove that they can play 2 40 minute periods of great ball.


Good luck!

This is a UK board. What do you expect? As if you're planning on not saying a word if U of L wins.

Hell yeah ...THIS IS OUR BOARD..I will be here if we lose too

[Blue Heaven]

I feel we are going to have loads of trouble with the press. The only way we win this game is if Jodie stays hot and someone else can knock down some outside shots. I don't worry too much about UL's perimeter game, but if Earl Clark gets down low and starts banging with Samuels, we will be in major trouble. I hate to pick against my Cats but I think we really have no shot to win this game.

Early in the year I would have agreed but they seem to be handling the press better now. I guess we shall see if that keeps up with UL's version. I don't think it will be as much of a factor as it was against UNC.

If they never post here, why woud they post after the game. Boy, some lil birdie logic. :shrug1:

"here" means on this board. Period. I don't come on the rivalry forum much because it's the same stuff between us Cat and Card fans. Has been for years. While I may not be a regular on this forum, buddy, you and your UL buddies are as irregular on here as it gets. And don't take that to mean I'm slighting you. I'm glad you're here. Some of you have even gone and donated to this site, and believe me it makes me a little sick because I haven't. A UL fan donates to keep this awesome forum going but I haven't! As Slim Pickens once said, what in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here!! But I guarantee you Cat fans aren't as welcome on UL forums as you guys are here. I enjoy reading posts from the other side of the fence and I'm not afraid to say that sometimes it can keep things in perspective a bit. I'm sure you can say the same thing. Good luck on Sunday. And win or lose, I'll be on here either congratulating or rubbing it in.

[CATHYnKY]

I'll be here with a sigh of relief that it is over and we look to the REAL season :widcat:

No, HERE means on the rivalry and ribbing board. I'm HERE, which means I could be sitting in my livingroom, sitting in the state of Kentucky, sitting in the United States, or sitting on the planet earth. If I want to be specific, I say I am here, right where I am at that moment.

I have no problem with anyone coming here to dish out some smack, but I admire the people who are here to take it just as much as they dish it out. I really have no respect for the fly in when we win people.

This board is unique.
Smack boards exist on Ul sites to prove Uk fans can dish it out, but not take it. They "prove" it by allowing UL posters almost total free reign to be as vile and disrespectful as possible. At the same time, Uk fans are not allowed to retaliate in kind because they are "guests" and are banned if they cross certain lines. I have no problem admitting the management of this board is far superior.

Other Uk boards ban UL posters for the smallest "lese majeste'" whether it be real or not.

There is a core of posters here who I consider my internet friends. We poke and prod each other a bit, bit it is all in good fun. I doubt there will ever be another board like this one.

I fully expect to see "fly by flamers" after the game, regardless of outcome. Personally, I am planning on following the overnight etiquette and not rubbing it in until the next day ( if we win). I certainly like to think I can take it as well as dish it out and a little jabbing makes anticipating the rematch that much better.

Me and my meager existence on this rivalry forum will be here to take it if we lose. If we win, obviously I'll hang out longer than usual:icon_biggrin:

I may just do that, since people here seems to whine about everything I post anymore.

4thecards???

may i just ask you one question what are you doing on this board anyway......maybe you need to look up at the address bar at the top of the screen it says WILDCAT NATION!!!

If your going to get mad because people disagree with you on this post then maybe you should go to the louisville boards......lol just giving you some advice

guys i don't under stand why any1s not having faith in our cats i think we take this one by 4 points 67-63

[Radiated]

What good would a smack board be without fans from UL?

Just take it away. Turn it to the blue kool aid room.

[TrueblueCATfan]

Of course we want the UL fans here..BUT they are guests so they must deal with fly in posters and posters who aren't regulars

Considering Yuleofell is a Blueblood, he's more than a mere guest. All of us who aren't Bluebloods are simply "guests" as well, regardless of whether we root for UK or not.

Thank you TBCF. I just get my kicks on other forums on this site. I get in the type of debates on here everyday at work. But make no mistake about it, I read this forum everyday. But I welcome the UL fans on here. Heck,they have to come here because they can't engage in these types of discussions with UK fans on their own site because their moderators suck.

They whine because you speak the truth. Alot of UK fans live in a fantasy land. They still can not accept that UT and Florida are the top 2 in the SEC right now. IF UK isn't on top then the SEC is down. 4theCards, It's guys like us that bring reason to this board.

isn't that what Arkansas said in 1994?

4TC, I admit I give you as much grief if not more than any UK fan who posts here, but you yourself have admitted that you just say the stuff you say just to get a rise out of us UK fans, which is okay, but surely after all this time you don't expect to come on a UK board and make comments like you have and have them go unchallenged? I mean, c'mon now...

Yea we live in a fantasy land. When exactly was it that UT has done anything on a national scale? When was their last championship again? Oh yea we are in a fantasy land. Enjoy your strangle hold on the SEC. haha

Someone's forgetting that HORRIBLE loss to Temple.

Someone's forgetting that HORRIBLE loss to Temple.


So losing at Temple is the same as losing at home to VMI? Every school(except North Carolina) will have a loss or two that makes you scratch your head. At the end of SEC play, I expect to see UT on top. I just want to know if UK will finally give Bruce and the boys some respect when the Vols win the SEC 2 straight years.

If you were really an SEC fan, you would know that UK has always had respect for UT. We also acknowledge the respect Coach Pearl has given UK whenever he's asked about our program..something you obviously don't know how to do.
As far as winning the SEC for the second year, you haven't won a bleetin' thing yet. Why don't you just wait and make sure all the chickens are in the hen house before you start braggin' about how many eggs you have?

The Vols aren't going to win any championship if they keep lettin' teams like Belmont take them to OT.
