[Moderated by Matt Jones]

It was the most surprising incident in today’s game as a normally mild-mannered Daniel Orton got a little intense with Coach Cal and made an early (and brief) departure for the locker room. After the game, the world’s biggest cartoon fan explained what happened.

P.S. i know i already posted this but it was in the hundreds and i dont think people read all the comments

I was leaving the arena here in Nashville after the game today. Bruce and his thugs were loading onto the bus. Ask Bruce where he was going, he said they were headed for the rock. Not sure if he meant heading for Rocky Top, but feel like he meant he was looking for a rock to crawl under. The Cats gave them a lesson in Basketball. Go CATS!!
March 13th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Ain’t that what a lot of folks call Prison? You do the math.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Can’t get the video to play. Someone please tell me what Orton said and please be serious. I’m on limited time here at work.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
He meant they were looking for a crack rock
March 13th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Orton is going to be a monster for us next year … re-writing what it means to be a beast at UK
March 13th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
8. He basically said it was a “heat of the moment” type of thing. He said he wasn’t even really talking to Coach Cal, but to the other assistants. He also said there was a lot of trash talking going on between UK and UT during the game.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
#8 Orton just said (repeatedly) that he had been reprimanded for not getting a loose ball … and that he had directed comments to Antigua to the effect that he also thought Bledsoe had a chance to get the same ball … Cal took exception and sent him off, Scott Pad. calmed him down on the way to the tunnel…he returned shortly thereafter and it was over after that…summed it up as “heat of the moment”
March 13th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Would not endorse a player talking back to a coach but have wanted to see Orton have a fire about him. He will be very important the rest of the way and next year.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Just a little Wildcat passion.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Did i miss the big political announcement?
March 13th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Damn. I just got back from the D-2 Regional here in Owensboro and #1 seed KY Wesleyan lost by 2.
I’m glad my favorite team kicked a$$ today.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
15. What exactly was the big political announcement. They postponed it about 10 times lol.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
#17: the big political announcement was that Matt had seen the light and was now going to vote Republican.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
#15 - They were going to try to get BTI in, I think, the state senate race. But at the last minute, they realized/remembered some rule (I think he might have been too young? I don’t remember exactly) and then had to call it off. True story.
Also, does anyone think that if we were to run Mississippi State out of the gym tomorrow in somewhere near the same fashion we did to Tennessee today (or maybe by 15-20), that we could potentially have consideration for the #1 overall seed? If we thrash Miss State like we did Tennessee, I think you could make the case that lately we’ve been playing better than Kansas.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
And that should actually be directed to #15 and #17.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
You GOT IT RIGHT Kiffin,…when it is all said and done……at the end of the day, WE’RE STILL KENTUCKY and they are still Tennessee, THANK GOD!!!!
March 13th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
19.) They were trying to register BTI in the House race that John Yarmuth(sp?) currently holds, so that BTI could enter a televised polital debate with him. Of course it was for laughs and not BTI really wanting to be a member of Government. In the end, it wasn’t allowed and they had to scrap those plans. That was the Big Political Announcement pretty much word for word.

The SLAM Magazine with UK on the front is in the bookstores in Louisville TODAY! If anybody wants one you better get one fast!
March 13th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
WHAS TV in Louisville is going to have a live pregame show starting at 12:30 Sunday from the SEC Tourney.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Almost missed the start of the second half. Had a massive case of mud butt and couldn’t get out of the bathroom. My underwear could not be saved, as I sharted on my way to the can.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Joe Lunardi has UK playing the winner of Travis Ford v. Rick Pitino show down in the East bracket.
March 13th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
Has anyone heard anything about Pearl’s post game comments? I haven’t seen any links for it or anything
March 13th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Is the podcatst going to be up tonight?
March 13th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Ha! I just pretended I’m Matt Jones!
March 13th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
27. I haven’t heard them in full, but I did read a quote from him complimenting the Cats D … he called KY “the best defensive team in the conference.”
March 13th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
From the point Bruce Pearl started telling the UT fans to get loud, we outscored them 29-6. I repeat…his team scored 6 points after he told the UT crowd to get loud, from the 10:00 minute mark on…….Thanks Bruce!
March 13th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
I can smell the SEC title!!! When UK wins tomm all the ESPN commentators won’t be able to say that the zebras helped. Bring your cow bells Mississippi State, won’t hear them with 18,000 UK fans screaming!! Go Cats!!
March 13th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Hope they show Miss St fans. They make me feel better about myself!
March 13th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
i dont give a $hit what happened…this team needs an attitude adjustment…enough tantrums, barking at coaches, and crap…grow up Cats…otherwise, great win.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
27 - Go look on secsports.com They have all of the official quotes there.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
i dont care what happened…these young men need an attitude adjustment…enough tantrums, talking back to coaches, and pouting…if you’re that weak mentally, you won’t make it for 6 games in a row come tourney time…otherwise, great win.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:33 pm

god damn this site and the double post….lol. anyway, i like my second one better.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
watched ku play tonite. no way they beat us if we bring our A game.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
36- Overall these men have had a pretty good season. We are the 9th youngest team in the country (if Jimmy Dykes didnt tell you that enough). I understand that they should keep their cool, but have you noticed this crap happens more when we play UT? Also, I would hate to think I had to have that much pressure on me when I was 18 or 19, and then was expected to act like a fifty year old man throughout the entire season. What about you?
March 13th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
39 - Cole Aldrich is OVERRATED. He is just a big white guy. He is slow, he has NO post moves. Cousins would eat his lunch, EAT IT HARD. Sherron Collins is ALWAYS good for at least 3 turnovers in a row when the game is tight, which tells me he is clutch, but ONLY when they absolutely have to have him be. (You know like at the end of the cornell game)
I HOPE we play Kansas. It would be a good game but we would win 8 out of 10 times.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
40–hope you’re never drafted when you’re the tender age of 18 after worrying about it all thru high school. that was pressure.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
So I get my post about how we would beat Kansas taken down????
It wasnt a bad post, and actually summed up the situation pretty well.
Ok????
March 13th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
36 - 38 How can it be a double post when the two are different? Don’t blame the site for your negative-nancy-ness
March 13th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
#22 - There we go. I knew it had something to do with a state congressional race but I was fuzzy on the details lol. Thanks.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
41–aldrich should play with ogilvy. the could be the Twin Towers of Paste.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
40–you are entitled to your opinion, but in my youth, when i played sports, i knew how to act and keep a cool head (for the most part) way before i was 18 or 19.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
44—i thought the first one didnt post, so i changed it.
March 13th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Cal takes a unique approach with his players, let them share their inputs, and frustrations, and he has all season long. He treats them like men and values their opinions, but moments like today are bound to happen. I think it shows Cal’s ego is in the right place that a simple “my bad coach” fist bump was all that needed to be “said” by Orton.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
jeez oh pete…we won the game…shut the eff up….I mean really….It’s fan’s like you that I want to punch in the forehead….
….you know who that was meant for….
March 13th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Mr. Beisner….How is your child’s health?? Hope all is well.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Did anyone else watching the game get scared when Boogie turned around and slammed his fists together at Goins? He would be the last person I’d hit in the balls but then again tennessee players aren’t that intelligent anyway.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
My a@s is on fire, can’t get off the pot. Beisner may have to run the live blog tomorrow. Feel like I have lost 5 pounds.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
Hey Tennessee, who’s your daddy?
March 13th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
DeSean Butler is as clutch as clutch gets.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
0:50 ” Cousins trys to make a distraction “
March 13th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
47. Maybe if you had the fight and fighters attitudes that these kids have you wouldnt be relagated to posting on a board and you would be playing somewhere. I love this team because they dont take sh*t, and they fight hard. Sometimes when you have passion and desire things like that happens. Give your ol school attitude a break. Or go hang out with all the hasbeen coaches that want the fire and brimstone coaching techniques that dont work anymore, hell go hang out with Bobby Knight, or better yet Billy G, they sound like your type of losers.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Rick Stansbury making a plea on TV for UT & Vandy fans to not sell their tickets to UK fans and to attend the game & cheer for his Bulldogs….. Good luck with that Rick…
If I’m a Vandy or UT fan do I :
A. Go to the game & cheer against UK
B. Sell my tickets for 500 each to a UK fan ?
You make the call…lol
March 13th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
#55
I’m hoping Duke loses tommorrow (who they playin’ anyway??). I would rather see WVU get the fourth #1 instead of Duke. Probably won’t happen but I am rooitng for it. Also, has anybody else noticed who has made their way to the finals of the Big 10 tourney?? TUBBY!!! Good luck to coach Smith!!
March 13th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
I’ve watched the Big East and the Big 12 championship games tonight. The losers, Kansas St and Georgetown, are WAY better than anyone in our league except UK. No way our schedule has been as tough as what teams in those leagues played.
March 13th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
After, UK kicks Miss. St’s *ss tomorrow Big Cuz can tell all the MSU fans that called and texted him, “CAN YOU HEAR ME HOW?”

of course tubby has his golden gophers playing for a big ten title yet drove UK into the ground his last two seasons - boggles the mind
March 14th, 2010 at 1:27 am
After tomorrow it will be Miss. St. - head coach Rick Stans”buried”. but seriously, he’s one helluva coach to take such an irrelevant basketball program (and university for that matter) and have them in contention in the SEC every year.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:28 am
# 66 - Quit hatin on Tubby u prick. U remind me of the republicans still blaming everything on Clintons penis 12 yrs later.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:28 am
66 oh yeah winning 20 games and still being an 8 seed in the tournament is REALLY driving kentucky into the ground.
get a life dude and quit ripping tubby.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:29 am
From the Knoxville paper:
“They were letting them play jail ball out there,” said UT post Brian Williams, who suffered a strained back when he took a shove from behind in the first half. “We lost our composure and tried to do the same thing as them, and we got whistled for technicals and flagrants.”
March 14th, 2010 at 1:46 am
Not trying to bash Tubby here, but winning 20 games & being an 8 seed isnt what UK basketball is about. It might, however, be what Minnesota basketball is about & more power to the Tubster & that program if it is. UK is about 180,000 fans converging on Nashville to watch the Cats roll thru the SEC tourney on their way to a potential National Title.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:46 am
wow if Brian Williams actually said that I might consider dubbing him the stupidest player on UT which I hear is a pretty tight competition and also that forum post about Goins putting a bullet through cousins brain…. like are we serious? lets get a reality check
March 14th, 2010 at 4:13 am
Do you have Dr. Pepper?
March 14th, 2010 at 5:45 am
68 and 69– Amen.
March 14th, 2010 at 5:49 am
74– No.
March 14th, 2010 at 5:50 am
75– Prick.
March 14th, 2010 at 6:54 am
I really like this kid
March 14th, 2010 at 7:17 am
If there is anyone awake this morning, I have a question for you. Are you having trouble getting tweets for March 14? My twitter page erased all the tweets on my page all the way back to March 11. I can’t get any new updated tweets from anyone.
March 14th, 2010 at 7:23 am
78)
I got the same thing
March 14th, 2010 at 7:29 am
With 3 refs on the floor and with Cousins’ ON-THE-BALL screen of Goins, there should have been a call WHEN Goins elbowed Cousins. Why did it take Cousins’ getting a T for the refs to finally get the call right? Bush league refs.
I’m glad Orton stood up for himself numerous times during the game. That’s what it takes. We’ve had more than our share of passive big men in our past, going back to the way-overrated Bret Bearup.
I hope Tubby does beat Ohio State today. Give the man a break.
March 14th, 2010 at 7:44 am
UT - How Ya like me now?

Feeling better today. Took plenty of pepto last night and the mud butt is now gone. Those wings from Hooters did a real number on me. We’ll talk more about it on the live blog.
March 14th, 2010 at 8:02 am

I must have a problem….I thought 3-4 women per day was normal!
March 14th, 2010 at 8:21 am
69. YES, being an eight seed and only 20 wins IS driving UK into the ground. Glad Tubby is gone from here. Glad is successful elsewhere. He is a great mid-major coach, just not for UK.
March 14th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Don’t hate me after all I did for you. Remember I won your last NCAA championship and after I win the Big Ten Championship today my gophers will see you in the second round. Thats right, after we put a beat down on a short-handed Michigan State and Purdue team and then beat Ohio State today my team will have gone from bubble to a 9 seed and I will have my 20+ wins and ten+ losses.
March 14th, 2010 at 9:26 am
I’m all for supporting Tubby. Until we have to play him of course. That will be an interesting situation, but they’d have no chance of beating us.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:10 am
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the team expressing their feelings. Cal does not hold back when getting on to them and I think he respects them enough to allow for their input. No telling how much emotional abuse Orton took from Billy G as a recruit. Cal has helped him to become empowered.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:47 am
that is the fuel we needed to light a fire under or @$$ so im happy with cal on how he handled it. orton will use that to play and work harder, so nothing bad came from this.
