From a UK fan

98? The kids playing weren't even born yet. That's what you're bragging about?
Well you aren't there because considering where the programs are currently they'd mop the floor with you if you tried to talk up IU over UK. Also, I'm sure your emotions just got to you when you were going for that sick insult but the game you're referring to wasn't a sweet 16 game.
I don't think many people are judging success in the field of 68 off of things in the 1950s. Even the 01-02 runner up team might be too long ago now since the kids teams are recruiting now were likely born the following year and after. I personally think it's dumb to judge an entire season off of the tournament anyway but looking at the two schools mentioned you have the following
UK's success in the life of a 2020 recruit would be 15 trips to the tournament, 10 sweet 16s, 9 elite 8s, 4 final 4s, and a title.
IU's success in that same timeframe would be 8 trips to the tournament and 3 sweet 16s.
IMO though IU will start returning to the tournament each year soon. Phinisee, the 19' and 20' classes that Archie has got so far, and a loaded Indiana high school group for the class of 21 should have a lot of talent on Archie's teams in the future.
That's your response?
actually made me laugh out loud though. Since one of the only opinions I gave on actual basketball was saying that IU could be a consitant tournament team again maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Good call
I think you should probably let the grown ups talk. Maybe run along and get into a facebook fight or something.
Nice response with nothing to say about the point. Guess you completely missed what this thread is about. You shocked that a UK fan would post on a thread about UK? Oh, so shocking!!
If they took out the trash on your board, there would be no one left...
I cant believe that all of you guys rose to take this troll bait. I guess it's slow down south, but 7 pages of this garbage? Really?
Quick question: does Kentucky still have a banner in Rupp Arena worshipping a convicted felon?

Yes, I'm responding to my own post, but this is because I found this link that is too good to pass up. When Richie Farmer went to prison, he was assigned his Kentucky uniform number!
Brilliant !!

Yeah, he made a stupid mistake. That said, we celebrate what he did while he was here, not what he did afterwards. That can’t be controlled by the university
What? "Can't be controlled by the university" you say?
Does your beloved university have control over the Richie Farmer banner hanging in the top of Rupp Arena? (Can't blame Rick Pitino for that one, can you?)
Farmer wasn't just a "criminal." He committed fraud against the taxpayers of Kentucky.
He absolutely did, but he was part of the unforgettables. I’m saying the university can’t cotrol his actions after he left college. They could take down his name, but that won’t happen. The same question can be asked about isiah thomas. Do you remove him for being found guilty for sexual harassment?
huh ... I always thought we were making a public service announcement to be careful down there ... those were jokes?
That was money well spent. Arizona should be asking for a refund when ayton didn’t get them a ring. Puke should ask Zion to repay the money for his family home
Come back when you grow up. Farmer served two years + in prison. That's in prison. Prison.
Does any Kentucky fan care whether a Kentucky basketball idol went to prison ?
Obviously not.
The point is that The University of Kentucky can control its own actions in deciding which former player of the University of Kentucky is worshipped by a banner at the top of Rupp Arena. After knowing full well what Richie Farmer did, the University of Kentucky consciously and intentionally continues to honor him with a banner for many years.

That's so played out. Show your cards if you have a hand. Oh wait.....you dont. That's the only thing rival fans want to say but it has no merit at all. But keep saying it though, I'm sure it helps you sleep at night.
Using the word worship is ridiculous. His number was hung in the rafters well before the problems he faced. He was honored because he was a part of a special team and a beloved team. He was honored for his accomplishments on the court. It's pretty bad when you have dive that deep to find something to hate on. Trust me, Richie Farmer is not worshipped in this state and he has taken a major hit in the public eye for his crimes. He is not brought back and celebrated by the university at all. To say UK should take his number down is ridiculous though. People make mistakes, it doesnt change what they did on the court. I would say the same thing about Thomas. But Farmer is not "worshipped" in this state anymore. He is appreciated for what he did but that's about it. Doubt you ever see him welcomed back by the university.
Ahh, you're confusing referees who UK fans have stalked,harassed, and sent death threats to. Higgins is the basketball ref UK fans sent death threats to, and harassed, and stalked, and gave phony reviews of his roofing business.
Chris Coyte is the football ref that threw Benny Snell out of the Music City Bowl, then received threats, and was harassed and stalked by UK fans, along with harassment of his real estate company.
I know it's confusing...you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a college referee that Kentucky fans harass, threaten, and make death threats to.
Worst. Fanbase. Ever.
about the length of the many IU threads on GBI...only without IU fan posts.
Don't you have a game today or was it Thursday or yesterday? Must suck that nobody cares.
While a criminal, at least KY fans can recall his name...unlike any of the disconnected non-student mercenaries that make up Cal's shameful tenure.
You tried to throw shade at UKs schedule by naming a bunch of teams that are better than the one that kicked a lung out of the Whoosiers.
I love it when hilljacks mention those ‘hideous candy stripe pants’.Not sure why a UK fan would be so concerned about another teams pants?
Any thoughts on Ole Miss pants,do they offend you in any way?
Just can’t stop thinking about them can ya’?
Maybe you like them a bit more than ya wanna admit? LOL
It’s tradition bud,you know sorta like Cal having 2 final 4’s vacated

been living life all weekend away from message boards, and just checked in tonight to see if IU is still living rent free in your head, and you didn't disappoint. You're even wanting to deep dive into the design of IU's warm up outfits. Good on you. I personally do not know what UK wears during warm ups. It's never been of the least importance.
I'll check back in sometime tomorrow afternoon to count how many times this irrelevant program has been on your mind since.....now.

And you're a credible witness?
I have witnessed plenty of horrid behavior from UK fans so at best you are the pot calling the kettle black. At worst, you're an idiot that will believe whatever lies Cal spoon feeds you.
That you think you or UK get to dictate the terms of a rivalry game is the very reason we don't have a rivalry game anymore. That and Cal is too chicken to play us.
