Its a different team. They're down and out with Noel's injury. Billy Gillispies team would have beat them today, and I'm not exaggerating. On the positive side, this UT win will definitely buy Martin another season.
UK finds UT a rivalry in football because UT has accomplished something. UT hasnt accomplished anything basketball wise for UK to consider them a big game in the schedule. I'll take a sweep from UT every year for a win over Louisville.
Dumbass there is more to a Rivalry than what the other team has accomplished. UT Vandy is a rivalry, what the hell has Vandy accomplished????? and a rivalry is a rivalry doesnt matter the sport, its the school, and in some cases, the state.

Vandy/UT is a rivalry because its in state. Just like UK/UL is. If Vandy was in Florida you guys wouldnt care. I find it amazing you dont understand that.
UK's main rivals are Louisville, Indiana UNC, Duke, Kansas and Florida. All of those teams have accomplished major things or eliminated UK in a tourny. When has UT eliminated UK, accomplished anything or even ruined UK's title hopes?
A rival game? Thats funny. I think thats a little one sided. UT hates UK a LOTTTT more than the other way around. I can think of 20 teams I'd rather beat than UT. In fact, I dont even dislike UT. The fact that this board has a dozen UK fans should tell you something.
UK's basketball rivals are Louisville, Indiana, Duke, UNC and Kansas. Football, yes. Basketball, No. I dont want to compare records, titles and streaks to prove my point. Just relax and enjoy the day![]()

I'm not even sure they'll make the NIT. They've thrown in the towel. No hustle, no energy, they just didnt care to be there from tip-off. If you wondered how Texas A&M would do without Johnny Manziel, you just saw the result in a basketball game. I thought UK would rally from Noel's injury and play balls to the wall, man was I wrong.
Props to UT for playing the best they could possibly play. You could tell they wanted this game BAD. I didnt understand why Martin still had the starters in when you're up 30 with 3 mins to go, its a little dirty but so be it.
Got news for you genius, we don't consider you a football rival because your program is a joke. We had to hit rock bottom for you to beat us for the first time in almost 30 years.
Piss on our basketball program all you want, but our basketball program has accomplished way more than your football program, and it always will. And at least we don't go 30 years between victories over your basketball team.
Yeah, I think UK basketball fans look at UT basketball like UT fans look at UK football....like a joke.
And its record is similar.....UK has to hit rock bottom in basketball for UT to beat them once in a 2 game series.
And if you want to compare the preferred sports success in each program, UK has more titles in basketball and the titles are much more current, UK has had more success. I dont know exactly how many titles UT claims, I think a few are from the 30's? Not sure....but I've seen them win one in my lifetime, and it wasnt even in this century. UK is considered one of the top 3 (if not the best) basketball programs of all time. UK vs UT in its preferred sport is a little different.
Dont be so bitter. Congrats on the big win today. UT played balls to the wall. Enjoy it!
lol:
I dont know if I should talk about probation or arrests! You're too funny.
No offense, but my favorite sports quote of all time is Pearl saying "We've still got weapons"....I lost it. I love Pearl, though. Wish he'd start coaching again.
You should read this book...Basketball, University of Kentucky Wildcats - 05.29.89 - SI Vault
You want to talk about how much Calapari cheats?
I'd love to. Show me anything where it shows he broke an NCAA rule. Rose cheated on his SAT in high school and Camby took money from his soon-to-be agent just before the draft. Show me where Cal lied to the NCAA, gave extra benefits or held a bbq and tried to cover it up. If telling yourself that Cal cheats to get his players makes you sleep better at night, more power to you.
I know VolNation has lost its credibility from the Gruden fiasco, but a good friend of mine was with Alex Poythress Northeast coach who said he got a call from Coach Calapari saying if Poythress went to Kentucky he would leave $25,000 in his mailbox. this is the last i ever heard of it, but other people that i know involved with both Poythress and NE bball have said the same thing, and he did end up at UK....
