Worst #1 ever? February 27, 2008

Unfortunate photo for Ramar.
Perhaps that is an overstatement, but UT is definitely one of the stupidest. Their inability to get Lofton the ball down the stretch, as well as the 15 billion fouls combined to sweep the Vols off of the top spot. They also take the worst shots ever. I hope they enjoy the rest of the week as the default number one, I don’t suspect that we’ll see them there again.
It’s gameday! You know what that means; articles! Brett Dawson on UK’s desire to improve their offense. (Courier-Journal)
John Clay’s article about a bunch of different stuff. UK, UL, Santa, other stuff. (Herald-Leader)
Ole Miss will be fighting history tonight, apparently. Here’s your proof. (Sun-Herald)
The rise and fall of the Rebs. Mississippi newspapers blow. (Clarion Ledger)
Here’s a wrap of the UT/Vandy game. Some points made are valid, others are asinine. Lofton less-than-advertised? He holds the record for most 3’s; perhaps he’s slumping. (College Hoops Journal)
Well, this is awkward. (Sports Pickle)
In case you haven’t heard, you will no longer get to see Sean Salisbury verbally abuse John Clayton on ESPN. (The Big Lead)
Score(s) that matter to me, and probably you too:
Vandy 72, UT 69…damn it
A lot more stuff coming today. I think Beezner is writing as I type this, so make sure that you scroll down and read the new content.
Also, since things are always changing here, we will be introducing new features of the site shortly. Thanks to all of those who have shown up so far, and keep coming back.
you in fact, have a great webpage
Bless you my son.
UK is going to get worked so hard in Knoxville on Saturday it is not even funny.
wow, you guys are getting big. You even have ut internet nerds scanning the net, looking to talk smack. Congrats!!
I’m not sure if that is an insult or an admission of your own hypocrisy. Either way, enjoy the NIT.
Ofcourse I’m a nerd shawne, but I’m not nerding at some UTvols webpage. Enjoy your #1 ranking. I hope you guys don’t self destruct. Flinstone will be in an uproar.
We may get worked on Sunday, Sean, but not Saturday. Impossible.
Enjoy getting the hell kicked out of you this weekend. Oh, and enjoy it this recruiting season with Scotty Hopson, too.
Who are these people?
Rough day in the Knoxville today, huh? I guess when your sister is too upset about the loss to Vandy to let you bang her, you have to go try to save face on other school’s message boards.
I predict a 30 point thrashing of the kitties in Knoxville
I’d be mad too if I just blew my #1 ranking, especially by being beaten by little ole’ vandy. Heck, what’s another hundred years of not being number one. Wait a minute, you guys have beaten us in football the last 20 years. But hey, at least we’ve been number one in that during our football history. Face it, UT bball equals flash’n the pan success. You SHOULD beat us on SUNDAY. Live up to your hype, if you don’t you’re awful. Quit dragging your worthless selves to our site cause you feel like crap about losing to vandy. If you want to make yourself feel better go for a run. Or buy a car.
when your thugs finish hunting and picking up trash on the interstate they take their bright orange straight into the basketball arena and shoot fade away threes and miss free throws. I have seen it 100 times. You bring in thugs to try to build your program back up and then hopefully down the road you can get decent kids. Listen, this is the best basketball season in tennessee history and this is possibly the worst in UK…..at least the worst in 20 years. I just want to tell you to live in the moment because the past is brighter here and the future is brighter. When your idiots take all the talent you have and start learning how to play college basketball you might have a shot to go deep in the tourney but it wont happen anytime soon. Amazing you guys come out of the woodwork when we are getting ready to lose this wknd. where were you when you were coming UP to rupp? I say up because we will always be on top of you bums.
Rob Lewis is a nerd.
#13…..WTF? Thugs? That is what you resort to when your basketball team is mediocre at best. Can’t be better than them on the court so we will just resort to calling them thugs even if we do not know shit about them. Just because your basketball coach is a womanizing booze hound, does not mean every other school has thougs. LMAO at you inbred Kensucky necks. Can you say U-A-B? How about Houston? Can’t even remember all the shitty teams that kicked y’alls ass. The Vols are on a meteoric rise and the Cats are swirling down the toilet, and you know but cannot do a thing about it. And then there is football. Are y’all worth a shit in any sport?
First of all, leave your name coward. Second, you’re in no place to call anyone else’s coach a womanizing booze hound. I’m pretty sure Bruce Pearl runs a summer camp on that. Third, if by meteoric rise you mean taking the best teams in the history of your school and failing to live up to expectations in the tournament the past few years, then you’re correct sir.
Get back to me when you get past the Sweet 16 - something your school has NEVER done.
i talked about you on the court and off. if you want me to continue to talk about how “thug” streetball you play….you shoot fade away threes and cant hit free throws. when a smarter team cancells out your athletecism (sp?) you are dunleavy. I said that this was the worst year we have had and this is the best year you have had. READ dumbass. And Pearl isnt a womanizer? He gropes erin andrews and f***s his daughters friends, takes them out on houseboats and whatever. And where you are wrong is that kentucky is not swirling down the toilet…..we were, but we fixed that problem, and we are on our way back to greatness.
I find it funny that even in one of our worst seasons to date, we are still important enough for you to follow our schedule. You seem pretty good at keeping track of our losses. Yea they are pretty bad, but we must matter to you and to college basketball as whole. Why else would you care or would it matter at all. We are still above you. You will NEVER have or understand what Kentucky is and will always be. Enjoy your little run. You and Florida can maybe one day put your trophies and championships together and try to out do us but I doubt you will be able to.
winning 8 out of your last 9 games in the SEC is not swirling down the toilet. When a “mediocre” team (who is the worst team we’ve had in 20 yrs) can still beat your best team in 40 YEARS, I think we have to look at your serious expectation issues. Wouldn’t you expect to beat a down UK team if UT is as good as you say they are???
That because they’re NOT! UT “was” the WORST #1since St. Josephs.
sorry i didnt mean to break it to you about your players. check out wikipedia for tear tattoo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_tattoo
on the page it says you can also see: Criminal tattoo, or gangs as a reference to this.
tyler smith was let out of his LOI to tennessee to go to iowa why?….because he couldnt make grades. Tell him to take a book with him to the tattoo parlor.
all of you UK fans say it was embarrasing to lose to vandy that bad, what about your trip to vandy didn’t that go well? with the 11 first half points and getting beat by 40+. Uk fans are just mad because Tennessee is having so much success and they hate it. Which they should, because now they can’t beat us in football or basketball
smith also got broke the law at iowa
Good point, Mark. Oh, except we beat you in basketball. Just to clarify, if anyone reads down this far, I never said anything about Kentucky being better than UT. However, I remain unwavered by my statements of UT being a less than stellar #1 team.
Just saying, but isn’t it spelled “Brane”
Udder lunacy abounds
Did I tell you to come here Wildcats?
Did I?
Where have all the old Cats gone?
Heretical I say.
Otherwise this site is nothing
Reelin in the years
Everybody remembers the 60’s
Perhaps you should not think “weird”
Everyone has different ways of expressing school spirit.
Automatically associate b-ball with winter and I think of Kentucky.
Rupp with snow.
Little UT fans in orange.
Or perhaps we should discuss football?
We did not do well, so maybe we shouldn’t.
Neyland is no longer so scary for teams.
Standing room only no longer the force of Chu-like spirit.
UK may have a tough test
We will all find out how good Tennessee is, in the tournament. That is really all that matters. not a #1 ranking
Kentucky should enjoy the NIT though with their overpayed coach
The good news is Gillespie is getting raked through the coals so much, he’s scared to pull the trigger on a Hopson offer because he knows the writing’s on the wall with that kid.
And he doesn’t want to be dragged through the dirt roads by you banjo-picking, toothless morons.
GO VOLS! Enjoy your 20-point demoralizing this weekend. (That big word means you’re going to get embarrassed … Still too big a word? Try this: We win big.)
By the way, you guys have two quality guards and a young Karl Malone at forward. How do you expect that we should beat you??? Shouldn’t have run off Tubby. THIS is underachieving at its finest.
You mean “demoralization.” Good try, though. I guess that word was too big for you.
[...] saw this UK blog and the following UT post [link]. Enjoy trying to protect your balloon knot on [...]
Jai Eugene, where did you find the time to quit banging your sister and think of something so gay?
A retard once did something like that, but it was more cute. You could tell that the retard had more coherent thoughts in their acronym.
P.S. Where is your finger painting?
