It hasn't always been that way for me Katman. That's why I'm so happy I can bypass the fretting over it. Starting soon in to the tubi tenure, I realized we were in trouble. I was forced to worry for a long time because we either didn't have the talent and/or were handicapped by the coach.
Now I know we are the best, have a very good coach, and will year in and year out be among the best. That makes a huge difference for me.

I guess I am a BIT different, I love having the best team, dont get me wrong, but more than that I want UK to prove they are the best, the only way to do that is to win it all and those occasions are so rare. But I digress, I probably would be enjoying this much more if I lived in Madisonville or Paintsville. Living in Louisville is only good when UL is sucking and Uk is winning as far as sports go. I however think this area is great for storage auctions though...lol Well, wish us all luck today, we ALL want UK to win, we can deal with the UK haters if we can pull it off against the Neons today. I do however know UL fans want us to lose today...GUARANTEED. That's why it was so disturbing to see Florida choke yesterday...Very bad omen. I have a sense of impending doom and gloom right now, I feel like we are walking in the Valley of the shadow of sports death because of Floridas inability to finish. It was like one of the biggest CRUSHING defeats that UK wasnt involved with in all 56 of my years. I actually was shocked that more UK fans were not posting this type thing. I guess I am just SICK..... #th_laff# "valley of sports death" I saw a T shirt once that read " I fear no evil for I'm the meanest SOB in the valley." Right now UK is the meanest SOB in the valley. Sure there may be some Davids out there, but if I have my crap together, I can't worry about that.

In my lifetime only TWICE can I remember being the best and winning it all (78 and 96) But I digress, I probably would be enjoying this much more if I lived in Madisonville or Paintsville.

I can kindly undersstand where K man is coming from I am some what that way. My problem is I hate losing to bad if I was to play a game of horse shoe I would be determined to beat whom ever I was playing. So yea I am nervous about every game. If we get by this game and I believe we will I will be a nervous wreck playing UL, because I probably hate them worse than K man.

You are either up to the challenge or you are not. Let the worry worts stand aside and fret, while our warriors go to battle. We have every advantage and we are going to win.

Twice?...can't believe you forgot your smiff 98 one... I didnt think we had the best team in 98. Of course not. tubbi made them look like they were not the best team. However, they had 4 1st round draft picks on that team. I doubt we would have run into another team with that much talent. They were the best team, but tubbi and his plow ways made them look pitiful, until the last 2 minutes when the players had to make their comebacks to overcome the coaching deficits. They always looked like the best team to me the last 2 minutes of each game.

GREAT TO BE IN THE FINAL FOUR. BUT THE WAY WE PLAYED THE SECOND HALF WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME, WE HAVE LOST THE SECOND HALF IN SEVERAL GAMES THIS SEASON. WE GET A GOOD LEAD AND ALWAYS BACK OFF AND PLAY SLOW BALL.

the "WHINE" about slowing a certainvictory to reduce possessions and prevent INJURY is just a WHINE.
UK won by 12 points. just like a NBA team--WINS are all tha tmatter--not the final score.
CAL has a group of NBA PROS--so he coaches them to WIN!!
results--4 ncaaT games--UK scoring at 88ppg.
STOP the WHINES--UK is winning and controlling the situation. W-W-W-W----4 down, 2 to go!!!
PVO!!!!
smell goes next--by 1-30--but smell goes next.

Katman,I too am the same way and because this is UL we are playing it almost makes me sick to my stomach...Dumb ass Fla cant even maintain a 12 point lead..I want to see UL fail as much as I want us to succeed..Sat will be a nightmare for me,though I think we will win...Wish I wasnt like this either..

Yep, I understand. What would have been a nice week had Florida not choked, has just added a week of stress. I dont like the ramifications of not winning the next game more than any game in UK history. Stop stressing. this team is 36-2 has not once showed any panic in any situation they've been in. This team will win it all. RELAX and enjoy the ride.

I used to worry, but not with this team. I feel like it is 1996 all over again. These kids mean business, and they are peaking RIGHT NOW! When I start to worry, I only have to think of MKG, AD, TJ and the rest. It's not just that they are talented, they are DETERMINED. They simply destroyed Baylor. Game was over in an instant.
Our guys are cold-blooded killers. They have that unique combination of talent and WILL. You never have to worry that they will have an "off" night. One of them might, maybe even 2-3, but the others will be there to get the job done. We are a nightmare match-up for any opponent. We have to play our worst, and they have to play their best - and that's just not going to happen now.
Rest easy, enjoy the games. We only get to watch this historic squad play 2 more games together. That's what makes my stomach sick. I love watching this team. I can't wait to see what we do to UL. It's going to be bloody.
PVO!

Well said littleblue. I live in Louisville and plan to avoid all the hype this week....what a great coach Pitino is; the rivalry with Calipari, etc. It's all just fluff, because they can't talk about the game itself. There is only one central fact relevant to this game. UK is going to smash U of L on their way to their 8th national title. U of L has had their 15 minutes of fame (pardon the double entendre). The clock strikes 12 at 6:00 pm Saturday. Their invitation to the dance is over and they turn back into the trolls they are.

Well I guess you'll just have to worry yourself sick then...I've done all I can do to help you out! I'm just not thinking about it right now. It's a horrible time to live in Louisville since the historic Florida collapse the other day, so obviously I'm not initiating any talk about basketball if at all possible. Still, a long season to go yet. We hope it's a whole week longer anyway. You have been telling us for years that Louisville is a UK town and there are no UL fans there. Where did all of these new UL fans come from and why are you hanging out with them? I would love to run into some UL fans and talk smack with them. I haven't found any, except for you, of course.
