Bet with my Kentucky Friend

[crusse10]

After missing the NCAAs, I figured their expectations/demands would go through the roof again. If they miss the Final Four next year, I bet the heat on his seat starts going up. Suppose they lose in the Elite Eight and have a ton of guys declare for the Draft and end up struggling again in 2014-15. They won't stand for that up there.

Tubby won a national championship, then it took 9 consecutive years following it without even making the Final 4 for them to fire him. Calipari's job is very, very safe.

I agree that they're not necessarily a heavy favorite, but they're definitely the favorite right now. Who else would it be? Louisville minus Siva and probably Smith? Michigan State? Arizona?

Yeah you're right, I said that wrong. They are still the favorite, but not by the margin some would believe.

He offered me $100 and claims that Kentucky will beat us by more than 25 at Rupp next year. Anything less than 25 or if Tennessee wins I win. Easy money imo. imp_2:

Better shake on it before he hears about Rawane Ndiaye committing to the Vols. Harrison twins will have a tough time with Rawane and Yemi.

Oh class of 2014? Double or nothing then

Lulz at UK bashing.

I don't really know anyone that's 100% guaranteeing a championship. If your "friends" say that, then their stupidity is rubbing off on you.

You should easily cover on that bet. I think a lot of UK fans are still butthurt about that loss and emotion is controlling their thoughts more than common sense. There's gonna be a lot of UK fans wanting UK to run the score up if we are leading late.

Should be a good game though. Both teams will be ranked imo, and both will be competing for sec reg. and postseason championships.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I took it.

I see us setting the bar too high again. It's so tough being highly ranked preseason because if you win, everyone expects it, but if you lose, everyone is shocked.

I bet 50 bucks today that UT would make the NCAA Tourney. Crossing fingers!

We should barring a major meltdown.

How long do you see it taking for Kentucky's team to gel and start playing well together?

Yup, good man.

I think we only play them one time and it is in Knoxville next season.

I think the game is at Thompson Boling Arena next year.
