Vitale calling UK loss to Kansas

[norfolk611]

What an annoying windbag.He has got to be the only sportscaster I 've ever hear say baby so much.

[shreklord]

This is the first game (being a UK game) that I first saw Brandon Rush and loved his game.

[emembrace]

From 1:25-1:33, I can't believe no one has pointed this out. I can't believe how dead the UK players' eyes were. Does anyone else notice this?? There really was no passion in anyone's eyes there, for whatever reason. We should've known this was coming right then.

[emembrace]

I'd rather have my balls ripped off than have something like this happen again.

[kentuckyman21]

watching this and then watching what we have now what a difference I love coach Cal

[skatergmail]

@kentuckyman21 UK has had better teams in the last 10yrs.

[amd9012]

i love how he vacates everything he ever wins

[norcrossbt]

@kentuckyman21 use some common sense he is a recruiter not a coach and when the facts come out.. and they will.. it's going to be another embarrassment for UK

[KoryoJin]

@kentuckyman21 hey cal has 1 elite 8 tubby has 3. so dont call your shots too early there buddy. cal will NOT win a title recruiting freshman every year. thats cals problem, is players ( young inexperienced players) always choke come tourney time.

[amd9012]

doris burke sounds like a she's on steroids.

[CORNDUCTOR]

How did this cock sucker ever get a job announcing ball games? He has the most annoying voice and personality I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stanfordstarter]

dude dorris burke must have the nastiest coochie. . . god damn!

[cimaroonnannz]

As a UK fan, thats a horrible starting lineup. Outisde of Rondo and Sparks, pure garbage

[Blueford1979]

so your not a true UK fan? shame on a bandwagoner

[KoryoJin]

@cimaroonnannz hayes azubuike?

[HighTyto12]

KU and Kentucky REALLY need to start playing every year again!!!

[percyjacksonization]

@HighTyto12 Well, Kansas and Kentucky will be playing again this upcoming season! As a Jayhawk fan, I'm a little scared for KU, especially since they lost the Morris twins and Selby (to the NBA) and Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar (to graduation.) I'm not sure if this 2011-2012 Jayhawk squad could handle Kentucky now, especially since UK has one of the best incoming freshmen classes. However, Bill Self is a phenomenal coach... so I still believe anything is possible. Go KU!

[HighTyto12]

@percyjacksonization I'm excitef for it. I really wanted to make it to NYC for the game but unfortunately don't have the money. UK will most likely win, but KU has a chance because of it being so early with our freshman.However, we still have Darius Miller (playing for team USA right now), Terrence Jones, Doron lamb, and Vargas for experience. Only thing that worries me is that in the season 2 yr's ago w/ John Wall, we almost lost the opening game at home to Miami Ohio. Will be a great game.

[percyjacksonization]

@HighTyto12 Yeah, Kentucky has a lot of experienced players returning. As I said earlier, this upcoming season Kansas will have lost 5 of their best 7 players... It's going to be rough with us only returning 2 players who have experience. I've always had high regards for Kentucky. While other schools like UNC and Duke are also college basketball giants, I think UK is the only school that can rival/surpass KU in tradition... and of course, you all have the best records in basketball.

[HighTyto12]

@percyjacksonization Ive always felt the same about kansas. I think duke is an embarrassment to the big boys of college basketball, always thought that. UNC's fans are a lie and are BY FAR the biggest bandwagon fans of the best 5-6 programs. When it comes to passion and fan dedication, i think it's Kentucky and Kansas.

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@HighTyto12 not to be "that guy" but come on man, UNC & Duke have way less bandwagon fans then kentucky. They won 7 championships...fine, but they go flaunting them around like they (the fans) won them. Half of them were only alive for 1, possibly 2. No offense to jayhawks, but they're more of a B+ team. They always lose to weak teams. Northern Iowa, VCU? Not even more than 1 final four to their name. Duke and UNC on the other hand have won 4 in the last 10 years. Kansas and Kentucky? 1

[igloomaniacable]

@EnigmoEnigmo Well, I respect your opinion (and I do NOT think of you as "that guy"), but I have to disagree. You are arguing in a circle. Yes, Kansas lost to Northern Iowa and VCU, and you are right: both of those schools don't even have more than one Final Four in their name. But because Kansas lost to Northern Iowa and VCU, you say the Jayhawks are a B+ team... Does that make VCU and Northern Iowa A teams? Surely not! Kansas and Kentucky are right up there with Duke and UNC.

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@igloomaniacable don't get me wrong I like Kansas, but they haven't been as headstrong since the 08 season (last years Kansas team was pretty good). But they need to reach 1 more final four for to restore their power. Plus theyre kinda in the weaker basketball conferenece (Texas is good). As for Kentucky, they just gloat WAY to much. Half of them were won when there were like 8 teams in the tournament. Plus a lot of the guys they recruit are idiots! They're great teams tho.

[igloomaniacable]

@HighTyto12 Kentucky played a very good game yesterday. I think Kansas is still trying to find itself as a team this year, and that definitely caused difficulties in the second half. Congrats to a good Kentucky win... It would be awesome if Kansas and Kentucky played each other in the Final Four!

[theno1kufan]

ha ha kentucky enjoy your mediocrity we'll enjoy our champoinships... btw we at ku still like you more than unc and duke

[supernicewitit]

Easy man im a really big KU as well, but UK is a great and prestigeous program. I do agree that even though its no rivalry we still hate Duke though. Everyone does. Fuck dukies.

[ukhistorian]

Yep. And I hope we have a match-up soon. And I hope we have a closer game then this.

[norcrossbt]

@supernicewitit the more haters you have the more proof is provided of oh jealous you are.... every is jealous of DUKE so just bow down kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUKE!

[joetheplum08]

the decline of uk basketball... its happening

[keepitreal777]

you cant sit there and tell me that uk is declinig and that they are going to become like ucla, UK is the winningist team in history, come on its kentucky, kid are going to want to come there.

[specterlex]

....but we kentucky fans were crazy for wanting Tubby gone....right. Dick says all that and then turns around and burns UK fans when we finally ran Tubby off. I'm sorry people but if you can't see the hypocracy in that then you're blind.

[ukhistorian]

He bashed Gillispie while recruiting a 15 year old but praises Donovan for recruiting a 15 year old. Hypocrite.

[Kentuckykid14]

@specterlex Not all Kentucky fans wanted Tubby gone. I love Tubby Smith!

[omnivos]

Tubby gave up on the team and it shows. I'm sure he was shopping around for a new job before this game.

[tpmunyon]

He's doing some good stuff at Minnesota. I've got no ill-will for Tubby even though he left the cubbard bare in terms of talent.

[greatjellybean]

This game was a nightmare

[cdzmo1972]

UK wasn't quite as bad as the score showed. KU was really on that day and UK just couldn't (or wouldn't) do much right. But Tubby looked like a deer in the headlights.

[JJayHawk9]

Tubby Ball at it's best!!

[thefreak985]

I thought Dick thought Tubby was a great coach?

[ukhistorian]

Why are you showing this if your UK fan?

[ukhistorian]

Worse game ever.
