I don't want to hear one person criticize this team. Do you think you could have done better? Do you think you could coach better? Would you want the last 4-6 years back? I am so proud how these young men have played this year. So proud of Patrick for completing his degree and showing what it means to be a Kentucky Basketball Player, proud of Cousins learning to control his temper & growing up and thankful for his sense of humor. Proud of John Wall for not only being a wonderful freshman player but being an outstanding student as well. I’m proud of Eric for not being disappointed in not being the ‘show’ every game but playing as a team member and having a very remarkable season. I’m proud of Miller for his defense, Liggins for getting back to where he belonged. Orton for being there when we needed him. I’m thankful for Dodson and for his show of strength. I’m proud of every one of the boys on the team. Hold your heads high young men, you have helped bring back the glory to Kentucky. You have embraced the tradition of the Kentucky program. And thank you Coach Cal, I’m proud to call myself a Kentucky Basketball fan. There are so many reasons to be proud and grateful this year, I'm going to miss the young men who are not going to be here next year. However, I can’t wait until October, it won’t get here soon enough! GO CATS! 38-3[/FONT][FONT=&quot] What a year! :cat:

Is the BBN gonna let some team coached by a former IU player and another team who knew they had a team beat us?
I'm so ashamed. I should have gotten something out sooner but I thought for sure you guys would have taken the lead from the Nation of Blue?

[FONT=&quot]Some really good news, we are making strides in the John Wall for the Bob Cousy Award. As reported earlier John only had 10.4% to H'vard's Jeremy Lin's 51.4%. Thanks to the Big Blue Nation John is now leading. He was in fourth place behind H'vard, Sienna and MD. What made losing to H'vard worse than anything, their coach is a former pukie...excuse me, a Dukie. John is now leading with 31.1%. Are we good? Darn Right we are and so are the Cats and John Wall. We are the Big Blue Nation! Let’s keep the poll rolling & vote, vote, vote! Remember you can vote once every 24 hours and believe me, it is 24 hours. Not 23 hours or 23 hours & 55 minutes. That H’vard dude is a close second, 24.4%, Siena 15.1%. The Cats are back; lets show our support for John Wall. Thanks for voting and keep voting. GO CATS! [/FONT]
