A Sea Of Blue

oops

Woo

Gametime!!

Ready to witness history?

Go Big Blue!

that's her at the right ... she's a sweet old lady ... probably didn't know she did it

Lack of sphincter control??

yep ....

ukcris

I know. I can smell here in Louisville. LOL

Woohoo!

First game all year that I’ve been able to join you all, and it promises to be a good one.

Good to have ya!

glad ya made it

whewwww finallyyyy

I hear that - what a long day.......

Time to play a little "string music" in Memorial

MKG is such a cutie when he smiles

He really looks like he's actually enjoying himself.

I think the boys love this atmosphere

he IS!!

such a cutie pie

I've never called another guy "cute"

but he looks like he’s a natural born leader. He’s the one getting everyone revved up, he’s the one yelling and cheering and, yes smiling.

Lets go Cats!

BleedsBlue_N_TN - February 11, 2012 reply

LET'S GO CAT'S...

LET’S GO BIG BLUE…!!!!

ice cold bud

in my UK hand cooler

These Boots were made for stompin!!!!

GAE

Don’t they have any left footed ones?

SoCo poured, BigBlue on!

I'm sick with nerves.

goooooo Cats!

Let’s beat these private school clowns

First 5 will be a storm

Nice MT!

Yep,

Teague with first score – good omen?

Holy cow that place is LOUD

Rebound anyone??

Hello???

Hello Big Blue friends!

hey girl

glad ya made it

hello to you too!

Hey girl!

Hey chick

Welcome Sister!

Great save AD

Davis with the steal

How will UJK be last in steals if he keeps that up?

defensive rebounding is a fail right now

They are nervous too

Both teams a little frenetic

Uni!!

all right AD!

What a nice stroke AD

MKG took a clacker shot!

Thats It.....play them tight and play them hard

50-50 Balls, Important!

forget contacts

Get Davis some Horace Grant goggles!

Or Kurt Rambis

TJ no boxing out, Cal letting him have it...

I wish Cal would lighten up a little on TJ.

Why??

He lost 3 rebounds in a row, he should expect to take a seat…

What blue kentucky girl said - a little positive encouragement wouldn't hurt.

Yeah, he seems a little emotionally fragile to me.

Like he needs positive encouragement?

Sorry Ladies, can't agree...

Perform, or sit. The pine is a great motivator!

such a hard ass you are!

Some players really seem like they can take a hard line approach, and some don’t. To me, TJ seems like one of the latter. Obviously, I’m not an insider and don’t really have a clue ;)

I understand, but he's an "upperclassman", at least for this group, and it sends a message...

SPIN!

Sweet!!!!

that was lovely by Teague

Teague having a good night

Except for the carry...

But, I’d have to agree so far!

Could Be Called Every Play

Plus Teague didn't really gain an advantage. that time.

Tinlsle Can't Guard Teague

Darn right they're well coached

If Davis can it that shot from the corner consistently

There is no way he isn’t the POY

GOG point

At least that turnover guarantees a UK lead at first TV TO.

+1 for me too!

good for both of you!

We get out of here with a 10pt win and we will have made a statement.....

Agreed

This one will be tough.

I would take a one point win

Happily!!

I have gone black!!!

can't see it.....

oh crap

Technical problems? Is this affecting tv too?

never mind

i thought it was just me and my location

OMG ESPN

get the video issues fixed

Were's the frickin' picture??

picture back now.

bout stroked

Wilt!!

screen is black, if KSR is here, let ESPN know they have probs

Can ESPN please figure out how to prepare for server overload?

Flop Artist!!!

Oscar worthy, right there...

he went all Meryl Streep right there

Terrible call.

Flop U

not a foul

But Miller should have had the rebound on the prior shot

Going to be a close game.. we win by 10

Miller didn't senf him to the line.

He sent himself.

Well said

How on earth do the Vandy cheerleaders kneel on that floor the whole game???

Owwie

ohhh I could soooo take this the wrong direction....

lots of practice!

zing

Smooth +1

What's the score?

score????

anyone keeping score??

don't have a clue.

they seem adverse to putting the score on the screen for some reason...

Keeps the audience in suspense

May be more of their "technical difficulties"

Think that's it.

Nice!

11-9 UK I think

you're the math guy....keep track please lol

Bingo

good job jlev....

Have we gotten a rebound yet??

a few

But not as many as they should

This is so messed up.. why don't we have scores?

Digger so mad at UK fans for daring to show up he cut the cables

TJ with a huge brick there...

Kevin Stallings is whiny

He needs to pull his skirt down, his panties are showing...

ditto.

and so very unattractive, bless his heart

Come back home, Lenore

12-9 UK

could someone put a sock in Dick's mouth

So far I believe we are prepared......playing smart ball

couple mental errors…but mostly hard play

Dang DM, need ya out there... Cheapie...

These camera angles are terrible

I know - I feel like my vision is going.

Yeah, not the best...

its like the skycam all over again

I hate that thing

What do you expect

with a gym designed by Dali? ;-)

I was thinking Pei

But wait

Pei’s stuff is cool

actually folks....Coach Rupp helped design it.....at least the court

Then why didn't he think about TV camera angles in 1954?

He wanted these end zone benches at UK....couldnt get them

GAE

Today I watched the 1958 championship game at Freedom Hall on DVD. Guess where the team benches were? Yep. In the end zones.

way to hustle Jones

I'm still waiting for us to get on track...

We need to run a couple set plays out of T.O.

and we need to step up the D just enough to keep them firing blanks…..we have them a little off balance, they have already moved inside the arc for some shots they normally would have taken outside

Early foul trouble is worrisome

Body painted Cheerleaders......oh for my youth!!!

Ultimate fighting not violent enough, now we have full metal jousting???

Been going on for awhile now, just getting around to televising it...

I must have missed it, which is weird as I love the History Channel.....

When they’re showing, you know, history…..

they never do anymore

Its all gold and trees and pawn stars...

Cartoon Network and Sci-Fi channel have the same issue

Going the same way as MTV.

As long they Cartoon Network keeps bringing us the Adult Swim shows, I will be happy

They missed out by not getting Archer - hilarious.

My favorite show!!!

Sci-Fi Peaked with BSG

Best thing I have ever seen on that network......

and it did a great justice to the original too……

I was really saying the "events" have been going on for awhile... Not the show.

Google “jousting events” and you’ll get more hits than you’d have thought.

That is more historical than the now typical alien show.

I think it would be cool to completely unhorse someone

not so cool for the horses

there's plenty of em here in horse country!

JK….

Can be hard on the horses, but that's why the have the lists....

Oh Kyle....

When You Get Time

Check this Archie Goodwin Dunk

Wow

I can’t do that in a video game, but in live action?

Nice pass and cut!

When you can defend and rebound, you always have a chance to win.....

I like our chances

Check!

They forget Davis isnt our only blocker

nor our only dunker

Tinsley cannot stay with Teague......

Ezeli is going to get really frustrated with the pounding down inside soon

Lamb to Jones!

That was pretty!

OH SHIT

See what a little pine time will do?? ;-)

TJ!

Jones - message received.

good for you, jones...

gasrich - February 11, 2012 reply

I want to see more of THAT!

I think I hear a little "Go Big Blue" chant!

for a minute anyway, before it was booed out

Why did AD ask to sit?

contact issues

contact lens.....

having big probs with it

Go Big Blue chant!

Vandy’s attempts to hijack it this morning with GO V-U? Lame.

Can you say ...

… GREAT PAASSS!! boys and girls?

I knew you could.

Ezili needs a little dose of Vargas for while

A little elbow here and little elbow there

Push, pull, push.

probably going to need his fouls if Stallings keeps whining

that might not be a bad plan.

Wow, gonna be a tough one tonight

We don’t look real sharp, but most of that is Vandy’s fault.

getting us ready for March

...and we still lead by seven

I feel tentatively pretty good

Maybe??

early days yet - can't even get my breath at this point.

Did somebody say that Erin Andrews is a pretty gal?

she is very pretty.

why yes!

I think that was me

YES .....

whewww

Ohh Emm Gee!!

Girlfriend! Wowser…

Oh My Goodness

Wow

Oh crap.

There went my heart. Think I blew an aorta.

That's not what really blew, was it??

okay, now that was just gross ;)

Sorry...

/hangs head

LOL

Blew an O ring!

I;m nearly in tears laughing

this place is great

makes the games more funnn

Awwwwww.... Eagle.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

I've got one for that too, but I'm already in trouble with bkg...

it's pretty bad when I'M the voice of decency ;)

I'll admit, that one was a bit on the risque side, but good Lord, the door was wide open and I couldn't resist! LOL

wow.

Just. Wow.

ukcris

Where’s the beef?

Is the Pope Catholic?

She's a Gator, no thanks.

I prefer Ashley Judd

big-cuz fan - February 11, 2012 reply

I like them both..

We are shooting 47% with one turnover.

Pretty good I think

Grasslands1 - February 11, 2012 reply

Dang TJ??

Jonesy

What did Jones do there/

Holy cow, how did that go in???

when someone talks about the role of luck or randomness in sports

That shot is precisely what they mean ;-)

Why are they so far up Davis' shit on the perimeter?

he needs to jack something up just to shoot the FT’s

DM with 3...

Wow

C'mon Darius.....

Foul trouble.

Gonna test our bench tonight.

Wiltjer doesn't look old enough to drive

I'm not sure he is.

Baby face Oregon Boy

20lbs and a mustache will do him well...

Remember how the ’stache worked for Richie Farmer?? LOL

I think he's so sweet with those YT videos he does for his parents.

BGG

Kyle is going to shock some BBN fans before he leaves. He’s a project like Jorts was. I really, really like him. Great attitude and a three that is as smooth as silk. A la T. Prince.

Darius is mind blown right now.

WTF refs

Jones is doing work at least

Get some MKG!

Great rebound by Jones!

Jones taking over

TJ playing agressive now.

Good defense guys

Nice job Doron...

Lamb showing Teague how to draw the foul....

there's Ashley!

She is also pretty

sorry.....she's hot!!!

She is PHAT

Pretty Hot And Tempting!!

OK, I'll buy some of that! LOL

This would be a route if the Cats would just grab some defensive boards

Judd at Vandy? interesting

Love it

she lives in Nashville

Duh me...

I would expect her to be there.

the team needs to make it up to her for the 40 point loss she attended a few years ago

oh god, that game, that game

one of the worst things ever

I wish you hadn't made me think about that game.

sorry :-(

Bet thing about this game: everyone contributing

Oops, best thing

UK ain't messin' around tonight!!!

Lamb missing FTs...cmon!

Now there's a pretty lady.

Women always look more beautiful in blue.

Davis major presence on defense

Pretty tip there TJ!

TJ is doing this like by himself

it is a thing of beauty to see him take over

After some pine time, he's come in strong

After DM picked up 3 fouls we need it.

Just keep pushing it Cats.....keep 'em off their toes

Greg,is it OK if UK is up by 10 at half and not wait for the end of the game?

assuming they dont lose concentration

10?

Do I hear 20?

Pour it on guys, pour it on

Vandy has foot in ass disease.

I'm so going to miss AD after this season..

Gotta guard the three guys

and how about some rebounding????

We need a couple 3's to loosen up Vandy

Pine Time Did Wonders For TJ

Terrinimup Jones

Nice...

Amazing!!!

Absolutely beautiful play Teague to Lamb

wow, what a backdoor cut!

They are really running some pretty plays

Lamb moving well without the ball

MT and Doron have a great two-man going tonight!

TJ playing like a man's man now

Jones being a MAN

Ha - no other way to say it I guess!

or as we say on TN

a GAM. Grown Ass Man

Does that make Walker and Henderson WOMEN? (UK Hoops)

TJ is just amazing tonight

TJ!

Wow.. we are #1 for a reason

TERRENCE yay

The Logan freehold...

… is going … NUTS!!!!

Commodores look like someone stole their boat!!

Zing!!

Bazinga

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

hope Vandy enjoyed their Gameday!!!

It's getting a little fun!

Kygirl2000 - February 11, 2012 reply

Keep 'em under 20 for the half!

C’mon guys, pedal to the metal.

Go Big Blue!

JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAST MODE ACTIVATED!!!!!

+1

Yup..rec'd

that thing needs a logo

and more blue paint

if this play by UK continues

and there are still 2 AP voters picking cuse as 1 on monday, there may be some dead media members on tuesday…. just saying…

There will be, even if we win by 30

Brain dead, definitely

Does Tipton have a vote?

Ha!

TJ smiling like that makes opposing teams weep

Yeah, but what makes Terrence happy ... makes me happy.

gasrich - February 11, 2012 reply

One more time.. Erin is hotttt!!!

Hawt!

Quiet as a church in there

Good hustle...

Hmm, sloppy

Wow....UK's defense is all that and a bag of chips!

Whew pretty spin move by Teague

Good job Teague!!

Teague is getting very good

Whoever is his opposite on Vandy has no chance against Teague tonight

He's upholding Cal's PG magic tonight

If he keeps playing at this level. We will be REAL scary good

Really good all around floor game from Teague so far ...

what a block by Jones!

He is everywhere!

TJ with a block for Jenkins

Bailout call to get to the line

gotta try to keep it close

all the hype about #1s having troubles in this gym going out the window

The Commodore's Fleet

Dicky V really promoting Cal as a coach tonight

Awesome

Wowww...

TJ!!!

Boom - unsyoppable

Teague is playing great

Oh my god

All that's missing are some 3s

Usually don't see the smiles until second half.

(Not complaining, tho)

Well, there's Gillie's charge...

you knew it was coming just a matter of time

BS offensive foul

still hate the way it’s officiated

BS indeed

a2d2 - February 11, 2012 reply

and he shot it before the foul anyway

so it should have counted even if they wanted to could offensive foul. Just stupid

Lighten up Francis! ;-)

We are crushing them…be happy :)

Sorry man, just kills me though!

Thank God I screamed earlier.......grrrrrrrrr

Oh for god's sake, refs, really??

Davis and MKG combined for 2 points and we up by 14

Grasslands1 - February 11, 2012 reply

Man, UK still has their use it or lose it timeout

guess they’re going to lose it

Since when was there a lose it?

a2d2 - February 11, 2012 reply

Wowwww amazing move by Davis

oh, that was pretty by Davis

Great footwork Uni!!

NICE!!!

Gotta go get some more Bourbon!

have one for me

This calls for some barrel proof stuff then!

Hell yeah...what a half by UK!

Davis was awesome there

color me .......................impressed

That was one FINE half of basketball.

and the bucket by AD at the end was just the nice exclamation point and momentum killer.

Okay, folks.

That was complete, unambiguous domination for the first 20 minutes.

and I sincerely hope it continues into the second half.

No 3 though

We are being handed the inside but can’t find the outside shot

StLHugo - February 11, 2012 via Android app reply

Would be really nice to keep the 3 streak going.

Lamb will deliver ... I feel it

It's either that or that Erin Andrews picture

Actually it was just that way for the 2nd 10 minutes

It was pretty tight for 10 minutes

That Cats were so dominating in the last 10 minutes

That it reverberated back in time and changed the first 10.

haha

Glenn

The best D half of the year. With MKG at his worst. I think Teague has got it…. Wow!

big-cuz fan - February 11, 2012 reply

We're on a different level to everyone else

Different universe!

ahhhh

there’s nothing better

That was a fun half boys and girls.

Can we maintain for the 2nd half?

If we're a second half team, Vandy is seriously in trouble

Afraid to think too far ahead - anything can happen in 20 minutes.

Concerned about the 3 streak, though. . .

They'll get a few in the second half.

I hope.

threes will come when they get tired.....

Vandy will breakdown on D some in the second half

I could care less about that

Isn't Vandy the record holder or did they finally lose that streak?

2nd

UNLV first, Vandy 2nd and I think UK is only a few games back of Vandy

thx

We demoralized the Gators so bad

they lost at home to Tenn

I am jacked up!

Couldn’t really ask for more (score wise)

Someone call Digger and ask him if we are behaving.....

I generally take him with a grain of salt but his "lecture" this morning to UK fans was just ridiculous

Glad I missed that

hot air

No one reallly listens to Grandpa....they just nod and smile

That will make beating the ears off Vandy so much sweeter -

don't know why this shows up twice.

It didn't

SBN still having some issues aparently!

evidently - maybe ready for a 2nd half thread.

not on my screen

Seriously. Not UK's fault Andy fans showed up in such small numbers.

Or you know, Vandy fans.

I hate spell check

I could care less about what he thinks

a2d2 - February 11, 2012 reply

Get up MSU

Vandy can only hope UK goes stone cold and they go nuts on 3's

Davis is showing why he is Player of the Year.....

So much patience…..letting the game come to him…..and picking his spots…

I vote for Jones and Teague

big-cuz fan - February 11, 2012 reply

players of the game, yeah

AD for player of the year

Oh, nothing against them......playing fine....

but Vandy set out to take Davis out of the game…..aand he aint going nowhere

Digger?

Oh, Digger!

C’mon, Digger!

Dig! Dig Dig!

Hey were you at with them predictions, Dig?

*insert diabolical laughter here

think he picked Ky

wont swear to that tho

he did right before the game

dont know about this morning

this mornin too

I thought for sure he picked Vandy this morning.

and this evening.

WRONG!

I meant the HE was wrong.

Not slamming you (ever).

I could be wrong

I have an hearing issue lol

hahaha!

Gary Parrish guarenteed a Vandy win.

he said it'd be our last loss of the year though didn't he?

I’d take that. But even better would be NO more losses. Ever.

EAT SOME CROW.... hopefully

This morning he picked Vandy

Hubert and Jay picked UK.

that's what I thought also.

You can't fault guys for having an opinion...wasn't really a crazy prediction

No but it was definitely pandering to the crowd.

Sorry, Digger’s attitude really bugged today.

Yeah I know. And he may have bee the guy chosen to predict the underdog.

One of the three have to do that virtually every time. I do think they takes turns.

Looks like I owe an apology to Digger Phelps now that Vandy has tied the game.

This is what Cal wanted. Hopefully we can respond and win this thing. Vandy shooters are really feeling it right now.

Half time refreshments.

Old Weller Antique in my blue wax Maker’s Mark glass.

Old Weller 12 in my generic crystal rocks glass.

Angel's Envy barrel proof, in a glencairn, here

Let me get my dictionary..

Glencairn?

haha its a glass designed to get teh aroma from the whiskey. developed for scotch but works well for bourbon

I prefer Riedel, but they we all dirty….

diet coke in a can, hahaha

Sorry, but this next sip is for you.

Absolut Vodka here....no Bourbon tonight

Try Sobieski sometime.

It’s made from rye and very smooth. Pretty inexpensive, too.

Vanilla Porter here.

UK is outrebounding Vandy by 1 (but obviously need to do better on defensive end)

3 point shooting is the only major category they are winning

2nd chance points really the only reason Vandy is anywhere close to UK

11 of their 23 points are after offensive rebounds.

yep
