A Sea Of Blue

Heh,

What about “first”? ;-)

I am just glad to be here......period!!!!!

OSU is looking pretty good.

Sullinger goes out with 9 pts and 5 fouls, but they are still killing Illinois.

Go Big Blue!!!

Sorry sweasyf, I had to yell it too.

Too bad we can't do harmonies on here.

Internet Radio

I never used iHeartRadio on my droid for some reason. But with my iPhone I now listen to WLAP pregame show….so cool.

Let's go!

Evening off to a good start for me: Clemson throttles GTech by 19 on the road. Now time for UK to cap it off with a W!

First!

lol

Kentucky math ed-u-cas-e-on?

Not hardly first. j/k

First to say "first" :)

how you make it Orange?

Go Cats!

Go Cats. Should be a good one.

Go Cats?

Is Vandy @ Lex this weekend, or do I have my wires crossed?

correct

I don't guess you know what time???

Noon

That was EST or CST? Remember, I'm in the Central time zone.

EST

Thanks!

Almost EDT, which I love.

March 11 - counting the days.

me too, CANNOT wait

you want the final score too???.....lol

Actually, yes!

78-65 Cats

Perfect! Thank you.

I was told 88-65 Cats

Y'all need to get your stories straight.

That's what it would be

Except Cal will remove Davis from the game with a few minutes to go to spare Stallings some hurt feelings.

Well, I wasnt listening to the whole conversation.....lol......I got distracrted

Stallings was born with hurt feelings and Cal can't help him - he's a

born whiner.

Writes that down for the GOG. ;0)

I make no promises

I’m terrible at the GOG ;-)

You are great at the GOG!

Thank you again.

oh, I can put together questions

I’m just terrible at guessing the answers!

I was looking over some from the first year, and I had a -2 for one score.

I probably had a bigger negative than that a time or two.

My sweet tea is ready and

GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do they mean 6 1/2 minutes from now......?

Blame the Buckeyes. '-)

I am......

Nothing to do with the Buckeyes.

Game will start even if this game isn’t over.

Grasslands1 - February 21, 2012 reply

And that totally sucks, imo.

and Illinois too

Tip Off

Grasslands1 - February 21, 2012 reply

I know - I was being a jerk. Game should start @ 9:00 EST

I think they are delaying them a little so

that you don’t miss as much of your game if the previous game runs long.

No fouls and some extended sets - cmon!

Mercy rule - call the thing.

Game!

Nobody heard me!

I heard you!

Anybody know the clock operator up in Columbus

Tell em to keep that hemmer down. Why is that clock stopped?

hammer

Does staying at a Holiday Inn once there count?

they would have had to do that before tipoff

Good news about your wife Greg.

Now for the event of the day that is nowhere near as important.

thanks.......I think I just got a couple years younger

Quit it with the fouling!

aint that the damn truth !!

GO CATS

I hope MKG shows up!!!!!

OvaDwayneBowe - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

Illinois making it look more respectable than it was

What was the line?

83-67?

No, I mean the spread

Back when I used to gamble, I’m fairly certain the line would have been 17, and I would have had the rent money on OSU.

Ohio St killed Illinois

And we're off!

Go Big Blue

iam4ukintn - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

great D TJ

and that was off MSU

Sidney is one fat bastard

+1

Reminds me of Oliver Miller

Wow

He plays for the WWE?

Where there just two fouls there?

Is that a bloul, like blarge?

haha, should be

Not a good start here.

Jones looks hurt

Yeah, that's why he didn't get back

So, MSU came to play I guess

I would say that's a yes

TJ came up a little hurt

after that collision.

Ok, this....needs to be silenced.

Jones walking back on that one

Guess it's no knife or gun, no foul night.

Glenn Logan - February 21, 2012 reply

Mississippi st's superbowl looks like

Sidney didn't even budge when Jones hit him

wingke6 - February 21, 2012 reply

Lazy D and Lazier O

Miller you gotta follow

It's okay, we are gonna go nutty tonight!

Talk me in off the ledge. I'm already having a panic attack. This team has always scared

mt.

they'll be okay

yepp, no worries

I just hope we don't get hurt in the court storming.

W...w...w...what?

Oh no - what a thought.

We can wimper together

HAAAAAAAATE State.

With a purple passion.

+1

Jones coming back in

Throw Eloy out there to bang around with some of those State players.

please stop taking jump shots and get something going to the rim

Tight rims.

Need to hit a couple to make them bigger!

yeah apparently fouls don't exist

Waterfall time!!

nutty

does this qualify?

drc928 - February 21, 2012 via Android app reply

So far

Got to stop slinging up that 3 with no one able to rebound.

we are taking awful awful shots

I don’t get this

Same Start As KSU-MU

And MU never did recover – - at home.

Wild Weasel - February 21, 2012 reply

We are UK, not MU.

TJ that's just dumb

guys seriously

Listen to Dykes

Go inside!

Not MSU though.

oh good grief

What was that TJ?

Ok – dunk is much better.

Good morning everyone

Mornin'

nothing good about it, sis, but glad you're here.

no doubt! I skipped the gym for this and they will make it worth my while

♥

Indeed

hey girl

good to see ya, hope all is well

Stayin' safe?

All is good here but something is really bad in MS right now!

We need you and your sidearm in Starkville. ;-)

Hey inside works

At least MSU

is missing their long shots, too.

Now we need to stop the shorties.

I am going to say it right from the start

I hate to lose, but a loss tonight would not be the end of the world. It would re focus our team for a championship run..

iam4ukintn - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

Exactly.

wash your mouth with soap and water. I hate MSU and we cannot lose to this team.

What she said!

agreed

drc928 - February 21, 2012 via Android app reply

I don't think focus is an issue

The start of this game not withstanding, what has happened the last 3-4 weeks to make you think it is?

Agree it may not be an issue

But they have won so many in a row, that a loss would just make them that much tougher.

iam4ukintn - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

No championship UK team ever had only had one loss. Just sayin'

How though?

forget that.....time to turn the heat up......

Sidney cannot play more than 20-25 min a game……we burn him with fouls when he comes back in

Run him like a greyhound and maybe he'll be out of breath soon.

I'd rather lose to MSU than Florida, for sure.

And finishing with one loss

to INDIANA gives me heartburn.

And that one loss was ON my birthday. I am developing a complex over it.

No more birthdays for you. Okay?

Okay.

I guess I don't understand. I'd rather finish with one loss than two.

Indiana = Bobby Knight = Major Illness

He would smirk at being the team that kept

us from being undefeated, like UK did to Indiana when he was there.

Still don't want to lose another game.

hell no !

Or Vandy

iam4ukintn - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

Ironically, it would be the same tam we lost to at the end of 1996 run.

wingke6 - February 21, 2012 reply

well I hope at least one of the defense or the offense shows up

Cal getting his wish about a team just

coming out and going nutty on them.

DEFENSE.......

its what got you here…..

Didn't come to play tonight, boys and girls.

This game is going to be really hard.

Glenn Logan - February 21, 2012 reply

I got a feeling.....about to get mean

Discombobulated uncoordination

and nutty!

ESPN3 Not Working For Me

Wife may have to miss movie.

Wild Weasel - February 21, 2012 reply

she would if she were my wife lol

Now it's time to see if they can gather themselves

and get back in this game a little here and a little there. Score a few more than they do. (Sounds easy huh?) This is the first time this year that they actually look a bit scared. They know they are in a fight tonight now.

George Shepherd - February 21, 2012 reply

Wow...

What is going on in Mississippi

Too much help defense

and too many outside shots.

I'm dying here.

KYBlue - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

Beautiful move TJ!!

Good start - inside to TJ!

George Shepherd - February 21, 2012 reply

JONES

Just need to get the offense going....

I do nto worry about the defense….MSU will settle down at some point

They'll only settle down if we start playing good defense

good grief Teague

Don’t assume the ref is going to call the ball out on MSU – go and get it!

And now sleep through the shot clock.

This is what they need,

a great test of their will to find a way to win.

yep, this is nutty enough lol

this^

I don't know that it's required. Keep digging into these holes, and find themselves in

one they can’t dig back out of.

They have always dug out. Indiana game was lost by the Hoosiers hitting a buzzer beater.

Exactly. Cal can only do so much.

Notice how he didn’t call a TO when we were down really early? Letting them search within..

So, I get home from a meeting and we're down by TEN! Huh?

Hey a steal from the press! Nice

that was

not as much a steal from the press as it was a “woops look what I found”

drc928 - February 21, 2012 via Android app reply

Their backup PG is majorly rattled by the pressure

the press created it

Teague - moronic play

Hacked. (But got pissed and recovered with a layup)

Nice makeup play there though

spurtability coming soon by these Cats'

what was that?

Wow a plethora of misses....got to score Cats

Teague is trying to be Superman

Great play by Moultrie

we gotta step it up

About to be up by 11. These guys aren't even ranked. What is going on here?

Neither defense nor offense has shown up

It's getting late early.

This game is going to make Cal lose his tie

And very possibly his lunch

we get racked up on our end

and they call ticky tack fouls on us.

MKG!!!!!

Wow, it is just rolling there way too

Im pretty sure that ball bounced on the floor

and back into the basket….

I can't stand Stansbury.

Prediction:

Stansbury get first technical at about the12:00 mark of the second half.

When does Cal get one, oh mighty Carnac?

Next year.

Would make my night if he got a couple and had to leave the floor.

Teaser basket by Bost

hope that wasn't a "magical night" shot

wilson452 - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

21 Points In 10 Minutes Is Poor D

Wild Weasel - February 21, 2012 reply

Teague answers, nice job

now that's a good jump shot

In rhythm and from an inside-out pass

three point streak goes on

Is that the worry right now :P

MSU will self destruct if we keep playing them hard

Yeah,

They’ll think about being ahead of the #1 team, then let it slip through their fingers. (hope, hope)

Fingers crossed. At some point Sidney will run out of steam.

I’d say something tackier but I’m saving my classy snark for the second half.

and nice job Teague

If Miller and/or Lamb start hitting outside, it will open up on offense

Yep, our shooting especially from range is horrid thus far

Withstand the early storm

keep cool and play our game. We will get back in it.

No fouls being called

Will be when we get within three

kydamcat - February 21, 2012 reply

Count on that

For some strange reason-

I think all this is good for them. They can still win… It is early…

I just don't see it Getting your ears beat off in a hostile environment does

not seem to me like a good thing. Maybe adversity builds character, but I just want out of here with a win.

We will be fine-

Stay tuned…

Wow, TJ not ready for Miller's pass

awesome pass form Miller though

It was a ridiculous pass -

TJ to DM - "Lob"

Miller almost Wilson'd Jones there

Jones was expecting a lob not a fast ball

TJ wasn't ready for the pass and Moultrie simply took it away.

not really, the replay shows him asking for the lob and was in the process of jumping

when the ball came in there like a rocket

Good point

Davis, we don't need these crappy shots

TJ damn

terrible pass

On the other hand, why didn’t anyone come get the ball after he picked up his dribble?

Lord, a dainty little floater pass to a guarded man

someone send Terrence an ice bag.....

and then drop it into his shorts and wake him up

make it a towel

UKFanStuckInDC - February 21, 2012 reply

Good News

This is the first half.

MKG with a much needed bucket

Two on Jones

Haven't heard "Guard your yard" in a while.

These refs are NOT calling

it the same way on both ends!!!!a Even my referee hubby who is a Vols fan agrees that they are aren’t!

surprise surprise

What did Teague do?

Great job Teague

Take that MSU

Thank you Teague!

A T? For what?

how did he get a technical?

Someone please explain?

crazy!

And Teague didn't get

hacked going in there? BS!

That looked like a good play

You don't think he was fouled?

looked like a clean swipe to me

FWIW

it looked clean to me

Okay.

I guess my lying blue eyes saw something else.

Every time we do something right

we come back and shoot ourselves in the foot

That is nothing!

Not T worthy!

That gets you a T???

Kill yourself, ref.

Who is that Hess?

Can’t ask where the whistle was?

MKG with the leg sweep....

Figures it would be

Doug Show that called the T.

Have to stop digging this hole any deeper.

I still haven't seen it.

He jawed at Doug Show, according to the announcers.

That was a bad job on that press

BigBlueBrandon - February 21, 2012 reply

Maybe the refs will throw out tom gugliotta out as well. what a joke!

That T was BS

MT must have said something

Aw, f*** it.

Officials have taken the energy out

of our team.

I'm so worried.

Never fear as the Cats will win this

we got this

they can't keep up this pace the entire game.

They will wear down and we will be there when they do

If they start the 2nd half like this, we're toast.

I agree-

I just told my son and wife the same thing..

Our guys are sleepwalking.

we look a tad like 5 individuals

November ball.

wilson452 - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

This is not good....need to get to halftime within striking distance

Under 10 would be good...

If we play D like that - might as well go home now

D and O both have to improve in the 2nd half

MSU is lobbing all over us

right out of our own playbook. Not fun on this end

FINALLY<

Caught Sidney doing something…He has had a fist full of Davis’ jersey all night and now he set up and threw a chicken wing out at Doron.

I thought I'd seen him a couple of times with ADs jersey balled up in his hand.

Time to get old school.......

start hitting floaters and short jumpers…..play them out of the paint

we will see what their character is made of tonight.

We are building character tonight...

Get ready to hear the inevitable "learning experience" whether we win or lose

all week long

yup

Just got home and turned on the TV. What the ...?

gasrich - February 21, 2012 reply

bad basketball

Who's supposed to be guarding Bost?

this may be good for your team, but your fans are having heart attacks

hahaha

He just says that to cover for how bad things look. Has to put a pretty face on the mess.

It's an ugly baby, just call it what it is!

True that!

Time for us to go NUTTY

Fat Tuesday. Mardi Gras has begun. Down 68-37 with 16 minutes to go. 99-95 good guys in the end.
Never, never, ever give up.

I don’t think this team can go 62-27 on Miss St, but we can do a whole heckuva lot better than we have been doing.

that's right!

It’s the day of the Mardi Gras miracle. The Starkville Surprise doesn’t have quite the same kick, but I’ll take it!

S'up Starkville!

when do they hit Sidney with a foul?

a technical that is

Sidney should have been T'd up

for that AND it was goal tending by Sidney!

Yep it was on it's way down

I'm surprised they called that goaltending

Me too

StLHugo - February 21, 2012 via Android app reply

Was TJ fouled there? I couldnt tell

looked like all ball to me

Lamb is a scorer - good thing

get a stop and another score

MSU's length is bothering UK drives

rick has worked the refs and sec

For three years to get a game called like this.

wilson452 - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

looks like the crybaby is getting his money's worth.

they cant fing miss...

Every 3 they throw up is going in

looks like not our night, if that keeps happening

MSU is just going nutty!!!!!!

I mean if we don't play defense

is that still them going nutty?

mother chicken, I'm not liking this

3 on bost?

The ONE thing we can pray on right now

and TJ misses both

Missing those FTsis my pet peeve.

Mine, too, bgg!

Davis just sat on someone

BigBlueBrandon - February 21, 2012 reply

yeah after sidney's fat a== knocked him over!

+1

That was ugly

very

I don’t remember an uglier half from this UK team

big halftime adjustment coming!

NEW THREAD

NEW MOJO, NOW! (Please)

No way State-

Plays that well the second half…

Well, that was beyond awful. If they come out in the 2nd like this, I guess we're

in a mess.

different team to start the 2nd

Go Cats’

Your lips to God's ear.

Could've gotten a better look than that in 2.7 sec.

Do you have any idea how long it took me to type that right? '-)

Very true, but to be expected. Especially as someone said upthread that Stansbury

has worked hard for this.

Like Cal said on camera

“Quit complaining about it and play through It”.

LOL

BleedsBlue_N_TN - February 21, 2012 reply

settin in class

watching on espn3, no sound, I don’t like what I see… WTF????

Hearing it doesn't make it any prettier.

Haven't we discussed you going to that class on game night? Get out of there quickly;

you need to be able to hear the game.

BleedsBlue_N_TN - February 21, 2012 reply

I'm trying... still got 50 minutes...

be over by then,… hopefully leaving with a smile and UK with a W…

If you see a chance, slip out of there early.

Oh, I see, you're in Tenn.

No-one in KY would ask you go without sound, much less have a class right now.

Tuesday night class = major no-no!

Although, come to think of it, you may be the lucky one tonight.

Next week is a Thursday night game.

well, um, we certainly have a great deal of room for improvement in the second half!

how is that for glass half full? ;)

Speaking of that, time for a half full glass of bourbon.

we sucked and they played out of their minds

Adjusted second half to more normal reality says we are 16 to 20 points better in a half.

wilson452 - February 21, 2012 via mobile reply

No way they keep shooting like that...

I remember UT fans telling me that once.

Though they were speaking of Jodie Meeks.

GoLightning - February 21, 2012 reply

Lol-

D. Miller and D. Lamb are going to light it up like Meeks…

better step up the D then

If we are going down,

this bourbon is going down too.

Heh

Bourbon always wins.

Why you should drink whisky

and it's good for you

As if we needed another reason.

I'd planned to lay off the adult beverages for a week or so, but plans may change!

Bad plan, scrap it.

Wild Turkey?

gasrich - February 21, 2012 reply

0 turnovers for both teams?

gametracker showing it.

there's definitely been some turnovers

I distinctly remember

one by TJ on a bad lob pass on the perimeter.

Yeah, that's 100% false

I like to say-

The Second Half is OURS!

+1

Would have felt better-

If it was under 10 though…

Cats can do it

remember down at LSU? :)

Yes, I do-

I watched it live and have it on vhs…

thats what i thought

whats up with gametracker?

Where's our second half thread?

This one sucked. Who’s running this dump? :-)

new thread mojo!

A green bug.

Every team will play desperate in about a month.

Glad to have experienced it now.

Ah....I knew the bug would come through.

which one to pick?

"First" one of course!

i went last one

OK.....I have figured this out

Our shooters aint shooting
Our defenders aint defending
The referees aint reffing
And our Swagger aint swagging……

Did I forget anything??

Brother can you spare a three???
