I don't know how Billy Clyde survives this year. If you are going to lose this many games up there, you had better be a nice, homegrown guy. Couldn't happen to a finer bunch.

your statement the UT "plied him with cars and money" you made to Alan Paul. It doesn't make any sense. Surely you have or know of some evidence? We appreciate you defending that bastion of integrity(and racism), Adolph Rupp.

And Finally,

No. 1 - Rupp worked behind the scenes to make sure that Spencer Haywood was not accepted for admittance at Tennessee in 1968. Haywood would have been the best player in Tennessee history to that point and would have given Tennessee a critical edge in recruiting black athletes before anyone else in the SEC. I still maintain that was the single biggest setback to the program in its...

I'm pretty sure stands for "Beasman" or "Beasley". I don't remember which. My 83 yr. old dad swears to this day it stands for "Booger".
One reason Ernie Grunfeld was always my favorite Vol was he could drive Joe B. and the UK fans insane. Particularly the night he scored 43 in Lexington in a comeback victory and "conveniently" took two foul shots...

Wow. Used to know what the B stood for. On the tip of my tongue. Have to say I have never really hated Kentucky until reading some of this stuff.

10) Kentucky kept so many great Mears' teams out of the NCAA tourney in the 60s and 70s
9) I'm sure Larry Stamper and Ronnie Lyons blew blue dust in Mike Edwards' eyes to make him miss that free throw in 1970
Mike Phillips was a thug before athletes were called thugs

6) They could afford a nicer house for Ron Mercer than we could

Why I hate Kentucky....

I hate Kentucky. I hate Joe B. Hall and wish he would just sit down. I hate Pitino karate defense. I hate lit cigarettes thrown at Bernard King. I hate UPS packages full of cash accidently opening before being delivered to UK recruits. I hate......Kentucky.

Does anyone else hate Kentucky?
