  2. Gabe Says:

    this is terrible luck

  3. JonHoodsPineapple Says:

    Apparently on SI, too.

  4. Marvin Says:

    The Choke issue? Great…

  5. PsychOfMSE Says:

    Does anyone else think it’s odd that it says “The Choke Issue” and then Kentucky underneath? WTF ESPN???

  6. WildCayts Says:

    My favorite team on the cover,and an article about Kobe being overrated inside. Defiantly buying!

  7. Catlanta Says:

    Yeah… Not sure if the Choke Issue is an omen.

  8. WhatSheOrder?FishFilet? Says:

    Hey, guys. Our team is on the cover of ESPN The Magazine. That’s a good thing. Be proud.

  9. Josh Says:

    Where is Wiltjer?

  10. Subie Says:

    MKG and the Js, dope!

  11. Potty Face Cries Feces Tears Says:

    Lamb’s pose makes me laugh.

  12. Matt Says:

    hahahaha look at Dewey front and center all proud like and crossing his arms.

  13. Burt Says:

    Lamb = Capt Morgan

  14. Eric K Says:

    The headline should read 2011/2012 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!! GO CATS!!

  15. Reality Is Says:

    Goog Lord people. Do u really think a damn magazine cover has any bearing on how this season ends up? We’re about to dumptruck teams asses on the way to #8. Put that on the cover.

  16. Drake Says:

    Looks to me that the little date on the left says March… 19th maybe? A definite pick-up whenever it comes out. Go Cats!

  17. BigBlueBrock Says:

    Can’t wait to get mine!

  18. jj Says:

    Wish Wiltjer was on there. I remember in 2010 when that one magazine wanted to do a shoot, but Wall and company refused to do it unless Bledsoe was included.

  19. Yahoo Says:

    Spread those cheeks real wide, the article is about to hit.

  20. HeadBussa Says:

    15 – I feel that. I’m calling for double-digit point wins throughout the entire tournament. This team is THAT good.

  21. WKY Dude Says:

    #15…I totally agree. Magazine covers mean absolutely nothing folks. Madden game covers? Well, that’s another story.

  22. Bulldawg Says:

    Wiltjer couldn’t make the photo shoot due to recording the new WBA single and video.

  23. LexDoc Says:

    #BGC is trending right now on Twitter… First thought: Oh God, BCG got another DUI… Thankfully, the letters were transposed.

  24. Kyle Wiltjer Says:

    Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer?

Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer? Where the heck is Kyle Wiltjer?

  25. You Can Call Me Cal Says:

    We’re so dope! I love it.

  26. UKBlue Says:

    Thanks ESPN for Jinxing us; why not just have a black cat in the photo or have Obama call us again. All we need now is to have SI call to put us on their cover.

  27. SUPREMECATS Says:

    damn, Jones’ focus has even carried to this photo shoot … look at him muggin, hahaha, and Darius too … let the journey begin … and let’s hope it ends well.

  28. Han Says:

    6) Defiantly buying? Who are you defying?

  29. Season Never Ends Says:

    FWIW, both Heshimu Evans and Nazr Mohammed were on covers of two different issues of Sports Illustrated shortly before and during the 1998 NCAA tournament. Which we won.

  30. Lestat18 Says:

    Wiltjer will be on next year’s cover…

  31. I, on occasion will eat poop Says:

    Hopefully he’s in a gym working on defense, rebounding, core strength, agility and overall quickness and toughness.

  32. WildcatFan Says:

    Ummm….The CHOKE Issue!?! Really, ESPN? You suck and btw, thanks for jinxing us.

  33. Shawn Says:

    18 – Not saying that couldnt even shoot the entire team on the cover but back In 2010 the issue with SLAM Magazine Is they wanted a specific number of guys on the cover. They werent trying to leave anyone out they just had a number In mind of what they thought would look good to capture the image they wanted. John Wall just had other plans and proved we are the needle.

  34. Blueball'n Says:

    Lamb looks like he has a beer gut in that pic!!

  35. Get2theChoppa Says:

    where can i pick up this swag issue!?!?

  36. catfan Says:

    Not on cover equats to no respect / On cover equats to a jinx. SMH

  37. HillbillyInBC Says:

    This could be the last time we see them in the road blues.

  38. lowlife Says:

    Oh my goodness!!!!! TJ has the Nike swoosh upside down. You know what that means. NOTHING get over it people.

  39. Scotty Says:

    Where’s Jorts?

  40. Dwayne Says:

    Disappointing Kyle wasn’t included in this….

  41. jpgott2 Says:

    I do love how they refer to the entire Issue as the “Choke Issue”. Just making references to everything in it, including UK. Hmmm, I bet that will cause sales to go up, especially with all the UK haters who will be bringing it up on threads.

    Yet, It is only a magazine, and has nothing to do with our boys.

  42. Beetle bum Says:

    Lamb looks like a farm boy.

  43. NYCWildcat Says:

    How many people you guys want on the cover?!! We got 6! I’m a big Wiltjer fan, but I don’t think he should be on the cover. And the jinx only applies to Sports Illustrated.

  44. Frownup Says:

    Give Lamb some roast beast for he looks like the Grinch with that pot belly!

  45. BBN Says:

    we were never thought of when these things came out a few years ago. UK fans bitch about the dumbest things. Yeah wiltjer is good but the guys on the cover are the guys who were in during the miss st. game and when florida began to make a run on us.

  46. Big dog Says:

    People this is exactly why people hate on us so much some of you will complain over any thing we made a cover and are getting positive publicity this their out to get us stuff is getting old if you want to complain that espn is on Duke and UNC sack your 100% correct or that Bobby knight and a few other analyst don’t like us right agian but this their all out to get us stuff makes no since OSU got screwed last year Kansas the year before it’s not just us it’s anyone besides the ACC,Wiljer is not there because he really hasn’t played a major role this year so far

  47. ibescootch Says:

    #22 almost had it, but honestly, I’ll bet Wiltjer was missing due to filming the ‘Cribs’ video with Polson. During the tour, you can see some of these guys walk through wearing these uni’s (forms and brows).

  48. Mark Hamilton Says:

    19) I hope its not something like our coach payed for some crazy skank to have an abortion to kill his bastard love child :)

  49. jpgott2 Says:

    Ok BBN and Big Dog, I do not think that anyone is setting a fire to ESPN in this thread. We are observing that Kyle is not on the cover, thats it. He has been a great 7th man, and has made many big 3′s this year. He is a good player, and at 13 minutes a game, a solid sub when his name is called.

    It would have been nice to have him on there. I do not think anyone that is not a UK fan, is going to think that making such an observation, as an extreme Big Blue reaction that is ridiculous. Give it a rest.

  50. jon freeman Says:

    this is rad

  51. isaac in san fran Says:

    cuse self reporting drug violations

  52. Azubuike's Bicep Says:

    24-What exactly are you trying to say?

  53. Macy Says:

    http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/player-of-the-year vote for A. Davis for POY!! He is losing bad to T. Rob.

  54. Mark Wilson Says:

    WILL BUY WILL FRAME

  55. Frownup Says:

    Awaiting moderation? Seriously!

  56. Big dog Says:

    #49 you must have read different post than the ones I see hear Wiljer has in no way set the world on fire yet I do think he will be real good by the time he leaves and very well could be a key to get #8 but he’s simply not been that important yet.we just made a cover of a network that we all have been saying has give us the cold shoulder and people are still bitching yes that is why people hate on us

  57. SouthBeachWildcat Says:

    this is def. getting framed and going on the wall

  58. jaws2 Says:

    Guess Wiltjer left the team last week. Too bad, we could’ve used him in the upcoming tourneys.

  59. Big dog Says:

    I’m like you#52 I don’t get what he’s wanting maybee he should just say what he wants

  60. Mr. Obvious Says:

    Love Wiltjer, but he doesn’t average 10+ a game like the 6 gentlemen in the picture.

  61. Frownup Says:

    Didn’t Pelphrey, Farmer, and Mash refuse a shoot for the SI cover because they would not include Todd Svodoba?

  62. Atlanta Bills Says:

    Don’t sweat the Atlanta choking headline. That’s been pre-printed on every issue since 1993.

  63. henry earl Says:

    that’s about as backhanded a cover as anyone could possibly ask for

  64. Furry Beaver Says:

    Where the f is Wiljter????

    He’s a big part of this team folks!

  65. WOW Says:

    thats the dopest ive ever seen and the reason wiltjer’s not on it the guy plays 5-10 min a game. He makes an impact, but that’s like yelling about when orton wasn’t on the Slam Magazine Cover in 09-10.

  66. BaaaDLamb Says:

    I think it’s a good omen. The tagline about Cal seeking his first title is reminiscent of the ’96 SI cover about Pitino seeking his first title “A Man Possessed.”

  67. The real Matt Says:

    Look everyone this is what positive publicity looks like, we are the model program. Unlike what is going on in Syracuse, we should be proud!!!!!

  68. rainman Says:

    I’ll say it again, WHERE’S WILTJER??

  69. Rixter Says:

    I imagine he’s in Wildcat Lodge sleeping

  70. Rixter Says:

    I wish all I had to worry about was the SI cover this week. People, I’ve got real life issues to deal with, work issues, family issues. How about the folks in Morgan County, you think they’re up in arms over this week’s SI cover? Since they don’t have houses, the mailman probably had a hard time delivering this issue.

  71. jaws2 Says:

    IF this were 6 white guys and Wiltjer were black, every lib in KY would be up in arms; and you know it. Reverse it, no big deal; of course not.

  72. CatsfaninFL Says:

    Wow #71…way to go political lmao.

  73. Blackhawk Says:

    #71 – It’s not 6 white and one black….plus you are twisting this into something it’s not. Besides the 6 that are shown are averaging over 25 minutes a game and Kyle is getting just under half of that by averaging just 12. To everyone else in college basketball he is a role player and not a key figure and to be honest over 31 games that is what the stats say. While he has played a bit more lately over the course of the year he hasn’t put in the time that these guys in the games. I’m fine with Kyle being out of the picture….he’ll get his cover with the crew next year and the for winning the title of course. :)

  74. matt Says:

    this is the choke issue…all about choking i will not acknowledge this issue…i mean seriously we are on the cover of espn the magazines choke issue

  75. Rex's Mullet Says:

    Straight swag!

  76. CB FOO Says:

    A signed framed copy would look real nice in the man cave.

  77. bluefan Says:

    Good grief, Wiltjer has lots of covers yet to come. Settle down. Not racial – highest stats. Some of you are just looking for something to complain about. I love the cover but would rather they hadn’t called it, “The Choke Issue.”

  78. gottodoit Says:

    Just get angry, Wiltjer, and show them in the tournament.

  79. bigbluedude Says:

    71. you a ignorant racist much? its 6 BASKETBALL PLAYERS. ALL BLUE! people like you are dispicable

  80. shut it Says:

    71)And they’d be stupid for bringing it up just like you are for bringing it up.

  81. HeadBussa Says:

    This is the core of guys that got the team this far. Kyle Wiltjer is a small piece who has a chance to develop into a big one as he moves on at UK but he is not the meat and potatoes of this team. If Kyle deserves to be on there, then Eloy Vargas does too. I don’t think ESPN wants that.

  82. mcmill03 Says:

    ESPN just loves to hate the Cats. We’ll all be laughing at this when Calipari and the Cats are cutting down the nets in Nola. Go Cats.

  83. Bob Says:

    Wonder who bought Gillie’s shoes?
