Stick a fork in Kentucky; we're done. >:( UPDATE: We're now offically NLT bound. :(

I absoultely am disgusted with what I saw tonight (though we did try to make a comeback). No matter, we should've had no trouble whatsoever getting that win against Georgia and we LOST to a LAST PLACE team.

Both our streak of making the Final Four in every decade as well as going to the NCAA's every year since 1992 has now come to an end. Yes, techincally we can still get in by winning the SEC Tournament, but if we can't do any better against a LAST PLACE team, what chance do we have?

I don't suppose we could get Tubby back, could we? At least he did keep us in contention every year. I guess all we can do now is look ahead to 2010 (at least we'll get most everyone back) as well as the 2009 football season.

I just found out they the lost. I was at church, so I didn't get to see or hear it. It is a crying shame that a program like Kentucky can't get any top recruits. If you put Jodie Meeks, Patrick Patterson, me, my brother, and my brother-in-law out there, we would do just about as good. I am very impressed with Jodie Meeks as a player, but him and Patterson is all UK has.

Bring back the Rick Pitino days!

Loserville can have Benerick.

At this point I'd be saying bring back the Tubby days!

Kentucky basketball reminds me of Notre Dame football - a storied program that lost the ability to attract the top players and
is now struggling.

Guess who has the best record in the SEC.

sagard · March 5, 2009 10:35AM

Tubby is busy. With UK resources dig a little deeper and get that guy in Florida.

Estil · March 6, 2009 2:14AM

I guess you could say the Cats season has finally gone to the Dawgs.

IrishMike · March 6, 2009 5:49AM

It took you this long to figure this out?

<< Tubby is busy. With UK resources dig a little deeper and get that guy in Florida. >>

Tubby is very busy - I'm hoping Minnesota will get in the big dance (and North Dakota State as well).

Estil · March 8, 2009 12:04PM

Way to go guys, fourth straight loss (to Florida) and 8 losses out of the last 11 games. We're just a bunch of losers...

Does anyone have a paper bag I can wear over my head?

Estil · March 13, 2009 5:34AM

Well, our loss to LSU in the SEC Tournament now makes it offical. We are now offically NLT (National Losers Tournament) bound.

We sure are a bunch of losers, aren't we?

I guess all we can do is look ahead to 2010...

PS: I'll still be a good sport and watch Selection Sunday though.

MeteoriteGuy · March 13, 2009 5:44AM

Both the Kansas teams last the other night....

Estil · March 13, 2009 5:47AM

I guess Kentucky should also be good sports and do their best in the NLT right? After all we do have a 1976 NLT Championship banner in Memorial Coliseum, we might as well go for a 2009 one so our season is not a total loss...

AkbarClone · March 13, 2009 6:53AM

If they can make it to the NIT Final Four, your original thread can be brought back to life.

bigfische · March 13, 2009 3:24PM

Yes. being the 66th best best team is something to shoot for.

Michigan · March 14, 2009 11:24PM

NIT = nobody's interested tournament.

Estil · March 15, 2009 12:20PM

<< NIT = nobody's interested tournament. >>

Maybe so but I think we should still be good sports and do our best in it regardless. Then we can look ahead to 2010.

IrishMike · March 15, 2009 6:18PM

Didn't Minnesota make the big dance?

Estil · March 15, 2009 9:36PM

Don't look at me! I wanted Tubby to stay at Kentucky! I wonder if we've been hit with the Curse of Tubby for giving him such a raw deal (goes undefeated in SEC and is coach of the year in 2003, comes a double OT short of the Final Four in 2005, but two years later he's gone)?

Connecticoin · March 16, 2009 10:15AM

<< NIT = nobody's interested tournament. >>

No, no no, it's Not In the Tournament

Estil · March 19, 2009 3:36AM

Congrats to Kentucky for their UNLV win at Memorial! I'm also pleased at the surprisingly big turnout we had as well as how good sports we were regarding it. Next up is top seeded Creighton.

IrishMike · March 26, 2009 6:19AM

What's the over/under on how many days till Gillispie gets the ax?

frankhardy · March 26, 2009 9:04AM

He will get the ax tomorrow - mark it down.

Billy Donovan will be the first call. If he turns it down, John Calipari and Rick Pitino will get called. If al three turn it down, Travis Ford will be the next UK coach.

Just my humble opinion.

Estil · March 26, 2009 2:13PM

If that is indeed how it comes down, I hope his replacement can handle all the pressure better than Billy did.

Stick a fork in Kentucky; we're done. &gt;:( UPDATE: We're now offically NLT bound. :(
