Tobacco Road gets far too much credit for being the hollowed ground of college basketball. We see where the stroke is

 

[CommodoreCard]

Surprised that ND is that low. But then again, all they care about is football.

Always said that Mike Brey has the easiest gig in college basketball.

I always felt the same way about Florida. Plus that weather

This data does speak volumes. Now if Petrino just get us in the Top 10 in football and our President raises our academies to The AAU level!

Ky is pissed that we passed them in all around sports, they will be suicidal if we pass them in academics. Although, A) Academics are not cherished by most of your average Ky fans and B) The academic bar at Ky isn't that high to pass with nominal changes at UofL.

 

[zipp]

Too many hard-to-explain teams on that list for it to be worthy of much discussion...

Reminds me of something I saw a couple weeks ago, on I believe ESPN. That said that Chapel Hill, NC. is the best college basketball town/city in the country. If Chapel Hill NC. is such a great basketball town. Then why are there always so many empty seats in the Dean Dome? If they aren't playing Duke or UofL or Kentucky or some other top-10 team there's always 6 to 8,000 empty seats in the Smith Center.... And as far as Duke & UNC being the best, most intense rivalry in college basketball. Or at least that's what ESPN keeps telling us. I know of 2 different people that was born & raised in North Carolina that saw the Duke, UNC rivalry up close. THEN they moved to Kentucky. They BOTH said that there is far more intensity between UK & UofL than there is between Duke & UNC.

The last four teams are all private schools. It's much tougher to get accurate financial numbers from private schools. Miami and Duke are the only schools in the top group which are private.

 

[CommodoreCard]

Georgia Tech is a public school, they just think they are private.

 

[wilkie01]

I think this shows that we are a power that has not reach our full potential. Our greatest days are still in the future. We will become an AAU in the future also.

And it will take some serious proof to show me that this is not behind the getting rid of Ramsey and TJ.

To slow things down, and MAYBE derail it completely.

They certainly succeeded in slowing it down.

Now we'll see if we get rolling again.

 

[micahpe]

I don't understand how they can tell in regards to apparel. If I go and buy a Notre Dame t-shirt because I'm a volleyball fan...how do they know why?

And we now know (as if we didn’t know already) why the ACC chose UofL over UConn or any other pretender, to be an ACC member. Our best days ARE indeed in front of us and the powers that be understand that. Thank you Tom Jurich and Dr. James Ramsey.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

I’m not sure fans anywhere care about academics. That just sounds like sour grapes. UL and UK are fine schools. I do think UK is stronger right now but I think it’s been better managed the last 15 years. But UL will be fine. The big surprise is how UK has become the best medical institution in the state. And that’s not an opinion. I think of all the things UL leadership should regret is how UK made their medical complex a mission while UL focused on salaries and athletics. It will be hard for UL to catchup to UK as a medical institution now. I can remember a time when UL had as good or better medical institution.

Well you are blowing smoke about something you obviously know nothing about. UofL research is light years ahead of uahkay. Uakay is attempting to “steal” UofL’s staff and have had some minimal success but those folks like living in a city that has a far better arts and music scene than does Lessington. I would invite you to go back to your own board but as you know, it’s pretty boring over there.

Excuse me if I categorize that as a slapd!ck perspective...

Great, another Ky fan telling us the Ky perspective. Who the f**k cares what you have to say. My dog Ralph knows more about UofL's medical campus than you do.

Wasn't this dude banned from here before? Now he's back wanting his attention again. Pathetic.
