LegendofJoe said:I don't understand this mentality. BC and VT have been two of the stonger BB programs since they entered the league. Expansion had nothing to do with the drop in the overall quality of the conference. The implosion of NC State, Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech are the reasons why the conference has been slipping lately.

Thank you based god for kendall marshall.
Proelite said:I love it. I hope UNC does it every time they beat us.
Seriously though karma is a bitch.
We finally get a true point after six years and he plays 8 games. Carolina gets one after one year without a good point, and the one is like the next Jason Kid.
I wonder what Drew's mom would say if you were to ask her what are her thoughts are on Kendall Marshall and UNC after Drew.
Don't fault you for not knowing tradition but yeah UNC fans DO rush Franklin after EVERY Dook win. I'm drunk.Proelite said:I love it. I hope UNC does it every time they beat us.

I don't mind it.
Why? The games played to have fun first and foremost, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun with the fans. Ill never understand that mentality.Seth C said:Kentucky fans have never, and will never, rush the court. You should be ashamed.

Shick Brithouse said:The Ohio State vs Wisconsin has the makings of being a very ugly game from the fans standpoint. Hopefully the fans can contain themselves and not lower themselves down to what happened in Madison.'Diebler swallows" and there was another chant that I can't remember off hand and then Sullinger getting spit on when they stormed the court.
I'm glad I'm going to be watching at a bar.

Funny how they always forget to include the fact that they are one of the dirtiest and historically racist programs in the countryKalnos said:God damn, Kentucky fans and harping about their history never gets old.

Seth C said:Prove it, bastard. Rupp was one of the first coaches in the SEC to recruit a black player. He also coached black players in high school. As I recall, we had a black basketball coach before most and have a black football coach. Eat it. Oh, and we have fewer major NCAA violations than Kansas or any number of other schools. So, I say back you shit up with facts, bitch.
Or just borrow another of our coaches after he flames out in the NBA. Whatever works for you!
And it isn't about OUR history, it is about North Carolina's history! They are one of the best, most winning programs in history. They beat Duke all the time. In fact, they hold the all-time record against Duke by a considerable margin. They were favored to win this game and both teams were ranked in the top 15. It just wasn't court rush worthy, not for a team like UNC. They aren't Virginia Tech.
Loose Balls by Terry Pluto said:Once, I was on a flight with Rupp and sat with him in the first-class section. He had about six Kentucky bourbons in less than an hour and was about halfway to the wind. I told him that I was an attorney who represented some basketball players. Now, I had never met the man, and the first significant thing he said to me was, The trouble with the ABA is that there are too many nigger boys in it now. I sat there just stunned. That just killed my image of Adolph Rupp the great coach
Adolf Rupp via Harry Lancaster said:"Harry, that son of a bitch is ordering me to get some niggers in here. What am I going to do ? He's the boss."
Frank Deford said:"He said, You've got to beat those coons, He turned to (center)Thad Jaracz. 'You go after that big coon.' . . . He talked that way all the time. . . A chill went through me. I was standing in the back of the room, and I looked around at the players. They all kind of ducked their heads. They were embarrassed. This was clearly the type of thing that went over the line."
New York Times said:The first time Bassett and the Bulldogs played Kentucky was a home game on Jan. 17, 1972. Georgia won that game, 85-73. Bassett had 27 points and 13 rebounds. After the game, the legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp approached Bassett.
He said I didnt belong in the Southeast Conference, and he said, Well get you back when you come to Lexington, Bassett said.
When the Bulldogs went to Lexington a month later, they entered the gym to find Bassett hanging in effigy from the ceiling. Stunned, Bassetts teammates offered not to play the game if Bassett were too uncomfortable there. A motivated Bassett played anyway and had 17 points and 17 rebounds, but Georgia lost, 87-63.

Mizzou Gaming said:Sorry but that was about far more than just UNC beating DUKE and I loved seeing a storied program, rich in tradition and history explode with the excitement and jubilation that is normally reserved for nobody schools making the NCAA Tourney for their first time ever. There is no checklist for what makes court rushing ok or not. Its just something that happens and its awesome to see, and great for the game.

Kalnos said:Well, I mean, Kentucky made commemorative #1 t-shirts when they got the #1 ranking last year, I guess they should have acted like they had been their before.
With that said, this Tenn-Kentucky game has some shitty refs all around.
Seth C said:You got me, Godfather. Rupp was a mean old man born in 1901 who didn't care what he said to anyone, anywhere, about anything. Black, white, whatever. They trained him well in Kansas. Anyway, I say we go back that far and almost EVERY school had a racist coach, so what's the fucking point? The only difference is Rupp was beating their asses, he was better than them, and so more has been written about him. That and he said whatever he was thinking. The man had no filter.
My grandfather was a bit of a racist, too. I'd bet most of yours were also if you're old enough. Of course, he was on the ground in Germany and spent time as a prisoner of war, but I say we should drag him through the mud, too. Because he did call black people "coloreds" and really, isn't that what matters? That dirty racist, let's all be thankful he's dead now.
Ah, so that must be the reason schools get fined for it. Because it's a good thing.

I will also add that I was completely drunk when I made that post last night. Haha.

Here comes the run, a little slower than I expected.
Edit: Also when the hell did Reggie Miller start doing college games?
