Welcome Abroad Archie! Time to get to work :)

Why'd you have to bring Warcraft into this :(

I think it's mainly the message board tough guys that give most schools a bad rap (including ours).

Sooo true. Took the words right out of my mouth lol.

This happens everywhere, Kentucky is just able to take it to the next level with their funding and boosters. One of my friends mom would hand out stacks of target gift cards to IU Bball players under Davis and Sampson. Bracey Wright got a brand new sports car the moment he showed up on campus. back to UK tho, I recall a story where Ryan Harrow was seen leaving the U.K. Facilities with a couple briefcases allegedly stuffed with cash...

The Maui Tourney I think is contracted years in advance. It's kinda wonky.  I think we got our invitation the year we beat UK and everyone thought "we were back" for good!   I remember reading somewhere that UK and some other schools actually turned down the Maui Tourney in place of other domestic tournaments.  Lemme see if I can dig up an article or something.   Update: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=kentucky%20turns%20down%20maui%20invitational   Looks like they turned it down back during April 2013.  Mentioned traveling being a burden. /shrug

  The harsh truth is... we're just not elite anymore.   It's a shame that a team like MSU is playing in it, instead of us.

The sad thing is... and it's also my biggest concern is that, it's starting to become the standard now. Duke and Coach K are emulating the same system/process.  Scary to think it's one of those... "get on board, or get left behind" type of scenarios.

  i fricking hate that term "student athlete" it was just a slick term the NCAA came up with to justify not paying athletes :c

haha i like the karate chop comparison, but watching it live, it didn't seem to be violent or heinous enough to warrant an ejection, definitely a flagrant 1 though!

okay lets be real here. it wasn't even close to a punch, i dont think he even made a fist. it was like a wimpy back-handed slap. should've been a flagarant, but cmon man... don't fabricate a punch xD.  if anything it reminded me of a back-handed pimp slap :P

  I don't think Cal is leaving... ever... i think he is just using the NBA opportunities to get an even fatter paycheck from UK.   As for the SEC, i heard on ESPN the other day that they might be the #1 conference next season with all their highly touted incoming recruits (especially LSU).  That being said... I'll believe it when I see it. I just can't view the SEC as a serious basketball conference lol

Wow, this is actually a pretty solid comparison! kudos

yeah i have no idea why Cal didn't call a timeout... reminds me an awful lot of crean -.-
