The Goat Pen

Just saw this on the UK athletics website:

"Only UCLA, with 11, has more than the Wildcats. UK is 8-4 in national title games with its most recent appearance coming in the 2014 national championship game. The Wildcats' most recent championship was 2012. Kentucky also claims two Helms national titles, in 1933 and 1954."

Kentucky claims them!!!

that attitude though, and I 100% believe this, is why we continually are a top program in the nation.

Except the Billy Clyde years. Man, those were fun!

"that attitude though, and I 100% believe this, is why we continually are a top program in the nation."

Ironically, it's that attitude that keeps UK fans from being able to feel like they're a top program currently...

Since Duke's last championship in 2015...

Coach K
* #2, #1, #1, #1 recruiting classes
* 16 five stars
* one #1 seed, two #2 seeds, one #4 seed
* 9 wins in the NCAAT
* 0 Final Fours
* beat Roy 5 times

Roy
* #25, #14, #19, #14 recruiting classes
* 3 five stars
* three #1 seeds, one #2 seed.
* 14 wins in the NCAAT
* Two Final Fours, One Title
* beat k-fib 6 times

Hard to see how we've done anything but overachieve these past 4 years, certainly relative to Duke. But even on our own merits, look at those recruiting class rankings and look at the lack of 5 star recruits we've had, been to 2 NC games and won one. I wasn't sold on last year's squad, but losing in the second round is always disappointing and of course I was hoping for more this year, but we caught the wrong team at the wrong time. It happens. At any rate, at least based on the last 4 years, Roy is clearly a better coach than K....

Look at the stats over the past sixteen years (since Roy came home):

_____________________ Roy_________K
Wins Vs Arch Rival______17__________20
Tournament Wins_______45__________36
Final Four Appearances__5___________3
Runner Up Finishes______1___________0
National Championships__3___________2

we just hired a young woman from NC St. She will be reporting to me over the summer.

Had a Duke kid last year

I fired his ass

Funny how it took both UK and UNC to choke in the elite 8 ti rekindle this fun madness.

Where is she from?

FYI, there's a damn good chance she has an inferiority complex when it comes to UNC.

I don't know, I just saw the bio that we get for every hire and it said NC St. We're paying her pretty decent though, she must have impressed someone

I get 18 college grads for the summer. My job is train them how to do their job and kind of groom from doing stupid things

like felony B&E like two from last summer pulled.

Bad news for crotch if true: UK offers Cal a lifetime extension

Maybe the State gal is a thick ankled, heavy tittied farmer lass who.likes to romp in the hayloft

Duke’s Greatest Recruiting Class Is Coach K’s Ultimate Failure

And the hits keep on coming

Like Little to the NBA. Faster than Zion.

That was a given. Coby undecided now but i expect him to follow suit

I hope Little has a good NBA career. He's athletic and has some size, but there are plenty of those type of guys in the league. You just never know until they get there what they're going to do. Except Zion, he's going to be a star from his rookie season onward...

I thought you were fucking with Crotch

Jesus...dude will be out of control now

I think it was thought to be an April Fool's joke at first, which would have meant Seth Davis' smarmy ass fell for it
