“The timing probably favors Florida; as of Thursday, Jodie Meeks and and Derrick Jasper, two of Kentucky’s better players, haven’t been practicing due to hip and knee issues (respectively), so the ‘Cats are unlikely to be at full strength”

From one of the blogs’ earlier articles. Seems like the authors of this blog basically gave UK fans the excuses Gator fans are now chastising Wildcat fans for using.

If only there were more insightful UF fans like skigator and less of the immature rjsplow-type commenters.

“3 titles in 39 years is wonderful, but it does not quite make a dynasty.”

I think only about 3 or 4 teams have won 3 titles in the past 39 years. Only UCLA and Kentucky have won 4 titles in the past 40 years. That makes a dynasty.

I wish UK fans would stop bringing up the dynasty thing. It’s just as irrelevant to this year’s games as Florida’s 2 national titles. Of course, I’m not seeing any class from the Gator fans, either.

I just wonder where all you fair weather fans were two decades ago? By the way, apparently gator fever isn’t even spreading too much in Florida, being that you rarely sell out any games and while we may suck this year, we’re still on national tv every game. Defending champs can’t even get on every other game…hmmm

Yeah Big Danielle, you guys are great cheerleaders. Your cheerleading squad is one of the tops in the nation. Unfortunately, your cheerleaders athletic ability far exceeds your basketball team. “Walsh is a fag?” Wow -that is so clever.

As for not winning in Rupp….from my records, 7 in a row means we might recently have beaten you there.

Let’s move on - the Kentucky game is history. In my mind you are lumped in with Providence and High Point as just another weak team that the Gators beat this season with a squad full of freshman and sophomores. Only, Providence and High Point didn’t bitch about it nearly as much.

I hope Kentucky DOES get better. They’ll have to just to keep pace with the Gators, who have zero seniors.

Yeah I laughed to when our Ad had to write Florida an apology for the Walsh is a fag cheer, I think he almost cried…priceless.

It’s a little bit better than two titles in 100 chaching…by the way, don’t forget about three straight championship appearances from 96-98 and our total domination of the sec and the tourney, records Florida will never match. I just can’t wait till little boy Caruthers comes to Rupp, I’m sure the fan base will have a Walsh-like cheer ready for him after that cheap shot he pulled on Bradley.

I love hearing about the tradition of UK basketball. 2 champs in the forties, 2 in the fifties. Gets tiring a bit like Notre Dame and all their tradition. No one really cares, outside of the bluegrass state, what the hell happened before segregation. Now i’ll give credit where credit is due, 3 titles in 39 years is wonderful, but it does not quite make a dynasty.
