Yes indeedy. I cursed them.

Now I am rooting for NCState.

The Valvano curse laughs at your bad mojo. You add a raindrop to a towering thunderhead of bad luck.

Ho ho, Sassus! Ho ho, Sassus!!

Cal messing with Digger Phelps and manages to throw in a Billy Madison reference

I think the Jarred Polson experience needs to come to an end now

It's refreshing to finally see a Kentucky team that concedes the game with a couple of minutes left, even only down 10. Don't get me wrong, most teams would concede at that point, but it's been a few years since UK was one of them. I like it...

Look at UK fans rushing the court after staying within 14 of unranked Notre Dame. Disgusting. Suck on that, Crotch!!

I have the Jarred Polson Experience's "Live From Monterey" album. I like it.

I'm sure there will be more than a few UK fans upset over the loss, but I wasn't expecting much tonight. We lack a floor leader and we're just not a very cohesive team. If we don't solve the PG problem we're not going beat any top 10 teams this season.

I'm a big fan of Wiltjer but if he isn't hitting his 3's he is costing us a defensive stopper on the floor. The game changed when Poythress picked up 2 fouls, he sat and Wiltjer slid over from the 3 to 4. I was hoping Cauley-Stein and Noel together would make a difference but they just got in each others way. For Polson to be taking Harrow's minutes tells you just how bad we are at the point right now.

Yes no one cares about Hoops but if the ACC can get ND to go full time then they are all set

IF ND does nto join conference they might not have anyone left to play if Conference get bigger

Yep, if we get ND, we're all set. At this point I don't know that it would take to get ND to join a conference for football unless the NCAA tells them they have to and that's not going to happen.

Basketball started already?

Ewwww, Cal has a long way to go with this team.

I can see why Teflon Cal didn't want the Hoosiers coming to Lexington this year and deliver a curb stomping to them.

Smart man indeed.

I can see why Crean didn't want to face Kentucky next year at the Barclay's Center with Kentucky's incoming recruiting class and give a butt-kicking to the little reds.

Smart man indeed.

I hope they're just as good as this year's heralded class of freshmen...

If maryland gets out of that 50mil exit fee and goes to big 10 along with rutgers gives them 14. word around here is KU may make 15 or KU may stick with big 12 and await florida state and clemson

my personal feeling is if this is all about footbal wtf would you want KU? Kansas city sure doesnt care that much about KU football

the maryland decison will set in motion the next few moves

Watching Cincinnati tread water in this whole thing is fun. Their President (who lead the Big East Expansion, oops) quit and nobody wants them. Their executive board is a joke. It was easy to see why the ACC chose Louisville over them. I would have too. Look at the facilities. UC is exactly what it is. A stepping stone mid major. That's understandable though. Pro sports consume Cincinnati fans. It's a pro sports town. $$ can only be stretched so much.

KU has signed away its media rights for the next 13 years, they cannot leave unless they are going to play for free while the Big 12 splits any money Kansas gets amongst themselves.

The only way a Big 12 school leaves is if a block of schools vote to dissolve the conference.

The difference between a Big 12 and ACC team in tv revenue per school with the new agreements is only about $3 million a year. I don't know if that's incentive enough to lure ACC teams. Maybe Texas offers them a little of their money, I don't know. The difference between a BIg 12 and moving to the a Pac 12 could be as much as $10 million upgrade.

Again, how does the Pac 12 expand to 16 without raiding the Big 12?
