Me, PhantomPain, and a couple other veteran UK posters are on here often. I don't get on here as much as I used to...probably because I'm old, haha. But yes, I've been a member of OS since 2002.

The Cal comments are a joke, but it's nothing new, innocent until proven guilty.... Its sad to see UNC fans so butthurt, yall played a great game, but lost, get over it.. I'd expect more class on OS.... Its outstanding what he's done with this team though, the way this team has gelled is incredible. I remember how out of control this team was in maui, every player has developed under Cal.. Harrelson, Miller, and Liggins have improved so much, I love this team more then last years bunch. just an incredible story.

lol UNC fans aren't being butthurt, everyone is pointing out your coach is dirty.

Turn a blind eye to it if you want to and thats fine, but its no coincidence that once he leaves town those Final Four banners he hangs up everywhere disappear to.

Heres to hoping UConn repeats what happened earlier this season on Saturday. (Yes Calhoun isn't exactly squeaky clean either but at least the UConn fan base isn't nearly as obnoxious)

I swear there isn't a more arrogant and ignorant fanbase in the country than UK's.

Your fans (here at OS for the most part there are a few decent UK fans here) are nowhere to be found before you hit the Final Four, and you'll be nowhere to be found if you fall short of winning a championship.

Man, your biased, don't give me that UK has the worst fanbase bull****... Every single team has an ignorant, stupid fanbase, thats just part of it. If you met the smart, knowledgeable, kentucky fans, you wouldn' t say that. So don't gi ve me that bs, because that's a copout. I'm no bandwagoner either. I was with UK through those BS Gillespie years posting after every gut wrenching defeat, and watching sorry *** Porter run the point . So yea, we're pretty excited about Cal, because he has Kentucky right back where we belong.

For the record: Dakkon, Phantom, Koolie G, and I think Wildcatchild are not coming out of the woodwork, we have all been here during the Billy G years, some of them probably longer.

I acknowledged there are some good UK fans here.

I have some friends who are UK fans even, so believe me not all UK fans are bad.

But your fan base has more idiots than most, and the UK fan base is one of the most annoying groups of people I've ever seen when their program is on top.

The old saying act like you've been there before seems fitting here and the sad thing is UK has been there before.

But it's been a while after the tumultous end of the Tubby era, (One of the most overrated coaches of all time) and the Billy G Disaster, it just feels so right again. but I should chill out, as I know very well of what you speak of regarding some UK fans, claiming to be loyal fans, but the only player they can name is John Wall... GTFO

Agreed, and I probably shouldn't project my dislike for that faction of the UK fan base onto you since I don't know you, I just really can't stand that faction of UK fans, they are by far the most obnoxious in college basketball when winning, I know all fan bases have people like that, UK's just seem to be more obnoxious about it than most.

Totally agreed, believe me... many a time have I gotten on supposed Diehard UK fans who can tell you all about john wall.. but couldnt tell me one other player on that team. And mysteriously vanishing after the loss to WVA last year, now their back, and of course the idiots that are like uk has like 20 championships. It's seven, UCLA has 11... get it right before you talk smack

As it should be, CBS is thankfully scrapping the Jennifer Hudson version of One Shining Moment and going back to the Luther Vandross version...

Good news, everyone! The USA Today reports that CBS has decided to bring back the Luther Vandross version of One Shining Moment, scrapping Jennifer Hudson's version after just one year. This whole One Shining Moment controversy has been very new cokeish in my opinion, they messed around with something that didn't need to be changed in the first place. So, after VCU cuts down the nets Monday night, we can all look forward to pretending that we just got something caught in our eyes as one of our old favorites returns to officially end college basketball season.

Thank god, last years One Shining Moment sucked.

Glad to see it going back to the Luther Vandross version.

Finally, they're doing something right.

Now hopefully next year they'll dump Barkley.

Barkley is the lone bright spot of the entire panel.
