I have no idea who Pitbull is. Thankfully.

Cover Craft on both ends you idiots.

That had to be the worse close game I have ever seen boring game

Kansas is not good they cant shoot unless they go against a ROy Williams coach team,

Roy is as bad as a coach as there is but he is better than matta

How do you call your last time out down 1 with 9 left, foul see what they do then call the timeout if you know your donw 1,2, or 3

man these coaches are just stupid

[Jungle Rat]

You have just confirmed the fact you are a fucking moron.

[crashcourse]

lot of shit blowing up around my house

So if UK wins Monday night I cash in considering even though Talent is ahead he never expressed his interest here on TGP, per the long standing rules? Sweet. Up yours Talent! Keep running!

Will history repeat?

Hey Metzger-- just in case you still lurk like the pussy you've always been -- suck a fuckin' dick

"Will history repeat?"

Hell, I'll be wearing a Kansas sticker Monday night. Actually, I'm somewhat torn. One the one hand, I don't really give a shit who wins. We're out, so it doesn't matter. I don't have any love for KU, but I don't dislike them. UK, on the other hand, thanks in large part (for me, anyway) to a decade plus of sassing with the likes of Crow, I consider our biggest rival outside Dook, and on the alltime historical level, our biggest rival period. It won't be good for them to get one up on us and of course the thought of all those UK fans prancing and preening isn't a pleasant one, obviously.

But I do have to say that, amongst all the sassing we've done in here, you can't help (against all one's better instincts) but grow a bit fond of many of these UK lunkheads. And of course I know how much it would mean to them to finally - finally! - become truly relevant again, after such a looooooooooong drought. I know how much this would mean to eCat, Blue, Crotch, etc (even Johnny Ryall) and, old softy that I am, I have to say that, esp. in light of the aforementioned drought, I won't be utterly inconsolable when UK finally grabs that ring Monday night.

I won't concede that they were better than UNC at full strength, but it is certainly debatable (would've loved to see it decided on the court, and I suspect many UK fans feel the same, but that just wasn't in the cards this year), but this is clearly a great team (can you imagine what they'd look like if Knight had stayed?) and will be a deserving champion.

I won't say that there won't be a small measure (I exaggerate) of schaudenfreude if UK somehow manages to blow this, but I will be happy for my UK buddies in here when they win, and will go ahead and offer my congratulations in advance. Not many better feelings in the world for sports fans, long-suffering or not, than to win a championship. None, actually. Enjoy...

Good post Hedge.......

I don't usually go in for sentimentality when it comes to acts of god (or whatever you want to call them), but I do have to say that after what you've been thru this year, Crotch, I imagine that a UK championship would be very welcome. And I certainly wouldn't begrudge you that solace even while understanding that any type of sports-related glory won't negate the real tragedies that have occurred around you. But it is something...

If Kentucky wins I get the #1 spot in the pool I'm in. So, last night while drinking rounds of Patron Cafe and Patron Silver, I told all my people at the bar we were watching it that if UK won I was taking the winnings, doubling it, laying it on the bar and everyone drinks until the cash is gone. WTF...

Tequilla is a helluva drug.

Wish I had been there. I haven't tried the Patron coffee flavor yet...

UK vs. KU is going to be like UNLV vs. Dook. 1991, not 1992...

How long has it been since UK won a championship? Ashley Judd was somewhat hot the last time they won one...

[Gator by God's Grace]

I got 13 of the sweet 16 teams, but then I only got 2 of the final four, but I had UK over KU in the final in my bracket. I still think my Cinci pick for the final 4 was a good one, they did reach the elite eight...

Robert Louis Stevenson’s burial took place at the top of Vaea Mountain, in accordance with his wishes, on December 4, 1894, the day following his death.

I'd say Bill Self's pussy-assed refusal to play Missouri any longer is ample justification for rooting against him and his pussy-aissed ballclub...

The underdog dookies* beat UNLV in 1991, so I hope you're right. dook* clowned the Fab Five in 1992.

I know you meant 1990, but I like this version better.

This Tokoto kid is winning me over fast. He gave Plumdumb I a ZERO during the dunk competition (complete with another shot of his Mama recording the moment, btw)...
