BILLY GILLISPIE NEW COACH AT KENTUCKY

[tallydude]

I'm so happy right now that I can't see straight. Order has been restored. The Empire will be rebuilt. I love it! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[KU_Bassmaster.]

You got a good one!!!!!!

[Guest the_muddy_man]

I can't wait til somebody resuces St Johns, we havent had a shot since Lou left and that mutt Jarvis put us in the toilet  :-/

[burleytog]

I honestly don't see any coach bringing UK back to where they once were.  The rest of the SEC has caught up and passed them.

Much like the Alabama football team.

[Guest the_muddy_man]

Hey Burley I agree with you about the SEC but the real challange is gonna be for whole Confrences to catch up with the ACC and the Big East, they are getting stronger all the time. Lsu,Florida,UK are all great programs so they will always be in there.

[burleytog]

The ACC and Big Least?   ;D

Thanks Muddy, I needed a good laugh.

[Fisher of Men]

I'm glad someone's happy. . .

Now, to find a replacement.

Hmmmmmm? :-/

[Guest the_muddy_man]

I will bet anyone any where that the Big East becomes thwe dominant confrence within the next 4 years. They sent 4 to march madness 2 to the final 8 one to the final four This is only the 2nd year of the realignment LOOK AT THE CONFRENCE WITH THE NEW TEAMS THE ACC HAS HAD A FINAL FOUR TEAM IN THE LAST 8 finals

And this from the guy that won't visit his Mom in KY......................

something about having too many teeth..

Seriously though.....I think its a great hire....he's a very good recruiter which should be awesome with the KY program....KY will be back with a vengance...JMHO

I agree Fisher of Men....this is a kick in the butt for the Aggie program

[RiskKid.]

I'm glad someone's happy. . .

Now, to find a replacement.

Hmmmmmm? :-/

Stay away from Bruce Pearl and my Vols  ;D

Hey Muddy....don't forget about my Vols....we're 3-1 against the 2x Nat'l Champ Gators the past two years.  

[burleytog]

LSU and Hawg Jowls Brady?

[burleytog]

Stay away from Bruce Pearl and my Vols ;D

The only place Bruce is going is to the moon!  

[Guest the_muddy_man]

OOPPSS sorry risky YEA YOU RIGHT!!!! THOSE LADY VOLS ARE SUMPTIN ELSE

[Deb]

Now that BG has accepted the coaching job at Ky, does that make him a BLUE GILL? : :

[tallydude]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Mom made a funny! ;D

(This is where I get uncannily arrogant)

I respect all opinions on the website, however, you've got to be crazy to think that Kentucky won't be back winning national championships. We're the most storied program in the history of college basketball. We've had a couple down years, but now there is an excitement in the air once again! Tubby is gone and I'm glad. Great man; I think he'll do well at a lesser program like Minnesota.

Do not underestimate the fans that make up the Big Blue Nation. Yes, we have lofty expectations, but that comes from years and years of winning. Other programs and only hope to replicate our success. Pearl is doing nice things and Knoxville and Billy D is establishing a good program in Gainesville, but two titles do not a dynasty make. Face it- Kentucky has been, is now, and shall always be the standard bearer in the SEC. So before we start writing off my boys in Lexington, let's just remember a couple numbers-

7 National Titles

13 Final Fours-

43 SEC Titles

25 SEC Tournament Titles

and oh yeah, more wins THAN ANYONE ELSE IN BASKETBALL

Be careful fellas, cause the Holy Roman Empire of College Basketball is about to rise again!

[Fisher of Men]

Be careful fellas, cause the Holy Roman Empire of College Basketball is about to rise again!

(Half-hearted) Woo-hoo!

Seriously, I wish you guys well! I dont' think there's any chance of BCG leaving you guys except for the NBA, but I don't see him doing that for several years.

Well, looks like we'll have to make do with Turgeon from Wichita State. Then again, BG came from a lower teir school (UTEP, right?). Perhaps with the talent we have, we can make a run again next year. :-/

[tallydude]

It looks like you're going to keep your recruits, so that's good. If memory serves, you have a MONSTER center coming in by the name of Deandre Jordan. Really great catch for you.

Turgeon is a good coach, and hopefully you'll continue to have success. BTW, what do the Aggie fans think about Billy Clyde leaving?

[KU_Bassmaster.]

Of course Turgeon is good.  He is a Jayhawk.  I belive he was on the "short list" when we hired Self as well.

[ring fry]

Good hire for both Kentucky and aTm.  Former KANSAS player to coach in aggieland and Billy G. going to coach in an arena named after a former KANSAS player.

[tallydude]

Yeah, if only Kansas could get close to us in wins!

[Murray]

you cant touch the sec in football...as much as i HATE auburn, tennersee, and florida. I'm always proud of the conference when teams do well.  ROLL TIDE
