maybe the wolfpack will get to videotape (in portrait mode) a banner coming down after all

[thebridge15]

there would be thousands of state fans at fetzer if that were to happen

[YouNeverKnow25]

oh they'd do it at like 1am with no prior announcement

[thebridge15]

...either way

[YouNeverKnow25]

good point, as soon as it were to be announced, the @statefansnation would stand sentry

[thebridge15]

I want people linking arms surrounding the smith center like a police barricade

Obviously the below will change but Bruce doing work

247Sports Composite Recruiting Rankings are adjusting. Auburn will be #1 in SEC & #7 Nationally w Mustapha Heron

Welp, apparently Winona State's (D2 school) coach resigned back in June because of a complaint that he was getting a little too touchy after getting drunk with one of his players. Yikes.

Another nice pick up for duke. Apparently hes not doing his mormon mission and will play in 2016.

My point as always is that no one cares about ucla except when they embarrass themselves, and UK is superior to them in every way.

Case in point: you keep bringing up the fact that we went undefeated in the regular season and lost in the final four as if that's supposed to be embarrassing. Back to back final fours 8 years ago is the only thing you have to hang your hat on in the past 20 years but because we have such great talent it's somehow underachieving to do it 4 out of 6 years with a title in the same span? It's really just the best trash talk I've ever been apart of and coming from someone whose team shocked the country by making the sweet 16 it's just delicious how jealous you are.

[whygohome?]

let me correct myself, you actually had 3 straight final fours 2006-2008, and if we go back to the title in 95, you have exactly as many final fours and titles in the last 39 seasons as UK has in the last 6. That's just a fun fact.

RIP Roy Marble, the first player knicknamed "the college Michael Jordan" (no matter what Harold Miner says)

Smu and brown got nailed and now the kid says he had no idea someone was taking a class for him. Brown gets 9 game suspension.

And now it turns out louisville has been hiring hookers for players and recruits, nice!

Thoughts?

Edit: ranking of top 50 coaches

[kydmb99]

Louisville basketball

[Balor3012]

Barnes should be no where near any top coaching list

[SmoothG]

Yeah, barnes doesnt deserve to be on the list even if its at the bottom. Think thad could be a little higher.

[SmoothD41]

Crean in the Top 50

Couldn't hurt!

[tyler3440]

well, about 1 month until basketball season. Watch for Mississippi State in the SEC this year. Finally some excitement in the program after being the worst team in the league the last 3 years.

[kydmb99]

This Louisville whore scandal is amazing. I mean one single event has completely negated their ability to ever talk shit again.

His players can't finish at all and he finishes too quick.

I agree.

Bo can't even win the big one.

Wow, only a month? Shit, college hoops season is almost upon us.

[Rodey]

When do preseason polls come out typically? I can never remember.
