#7 don’t worry about idiots like that. He’s a perfect example of why fans are turning away from national media and turning to places like KSR. Sportswriters have to sensationalize stories to get people to read their crap.
Darius isn’t running around crazy because he’s following Cal’s example. That kid might be too humble! Gonna miss him. One of my all time favorites to wear the Blue and White.
Must Say this Team has to go down as one of the best Kentucky Team ever. Hard to Believe three years ago we were in the NIT, Great Job Caoch Cal, thank you Big Blue Nation
Coach Cal told Andy Katz “I would like to coach an undefeated team before I’m through with this. Why? Because it can’t be done, so lets chase that.” Do you think this will be his selling pitch to Noel, and Muhammad? He never says anything without it being a calculated move. He is a genius!!!
I love my Cats, and I listen to KSR at work here in Tennessee where I live. Thanks to all of yall for the coverage- all the stories and pictures are great. It makes me feel like I’m a part of things even though I can’t be there.
This may have been discussed earlier; I haven’t been reading many comments this morning. But WHAT THE HECK is up with the Nike “8*” shirt with that damn asterisk on it?!?! On the back, too?!?! It may have been innocent enough, but WHY does the damn asterisk need to be there?!?! That’s all BBN needs is more fuel to the haters and Cal detractors out there. Whoever approved that design needs to be strung up & dealt with!!!
Where is “old school cat” or whoever he was that I had to call out last year when he was bailing on the team and saying Cal would never win a title? I think he crawled back into his hole last year when we made our run and the team showed the heart and togetherness that Cal is able to pull out of his teams. I hope he’s able to come into the light now and enjoy the history we’ve made this year. So sweet to see this team accomplish this goal and to silence all doubters!!!
I have watched the Cats all year long and so happy for this classy team! This is a team that will never be forgotten and loved by all. I am very proud to say I am from Kentucky and that the Wildcats are 2012 National Champions. Good Job Guys. Already miss you!!!
36. Pretty sure “Old School” was an IU or UL fan trolling. He’ll be quiet for about two days but he’ll be back. He’s a loser and therefore has nothing else better to do.
@32 – I don’t think that asterisk means what you think it means. To me, putting a giant 8 on the front of the shirt with an asterisk next to it simply means that there’s a further explanation for what the “8” means. In this case, that explanation is located on the back of the shirt where it says “EIGHT TIME NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS”.
I saw 6 and 7 team. This one was the best. They has the best chemistry, the best coach, and just overall loved one another. The most unselfish team I have seen and I watch basketball all season long!!!
11-Darius was the only one that went through the line with the coaches and shook hands with the players from Kansas.
31-The coaches cut down one net and the players cut down the other one.
35,40; I agree and I do understand the intent of the design and what it’s supposed to mean. I also agree with 35 that the design is ‘unfortunate’. But in this day and age, when you talk about sports statistics and include asterisks, the generally only has a negative connotation associated with it. OK, I’m off my soapbox now, don’t mean to be negative among all the celebration. Who cares what the T-shirts may say I guess, we got #8 and it’s about time!
@41 – Miller went directly to shake hands with the Kansas coaches and players after the buzzer. A true class act all the way around and the understated reason why we got 8.
GR8NESS IS WHAT THIS TEAM WAS ALL ABOUT! It makes for a promising tomorrow when you can bask in the GLORY OF A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and look forward to the next recruiting class! This makes me as a TRUE BLUE KENTUCKIAN so proud, and the little brothers can enjoy this with us as the TROPHY returns to the BLUEGRASS!
Kentucky is clearly the greatest program in College Basketball. 11 Titles 40 years ago doesn’t keep you on top forever. UCLA isn’t even in the top 3 in total wins. We are the #1 team in Overall Wins, Tournament Wins, Wins per decade, etc.
Love this team, love Cal and love the BBN! Thank YOU GUYS for going through these long 14 years with me!!! GO CATS
An 8pril to remember for sure! I am proud to say that I watched the game with my dad, my brothers and my son and it was such a special moment when the game ended and the reality set in that were were once again national champions! What an amazing season it has been and there is no doubt in my mind that this will go down as one of the greatest TEAMS in not only UK history but also NCAA history! GBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all of you discriminating the shirt, please remember although it may not be your favorite design, the shirt is not why BBN is celebrating. We are celebrating because we just brought home number 8. So please stop focusing on the shirt and focus on what really matters. These boys brought us a victory and we are so proud of them! Congrats boys, and coaches, we love you so much and will miss you all next year. We couldnt have done it without all of you. Y’all make being a wildcat fan the best thing ever!!! GO CATS!
In that second pic where Teague is hugging the guys, his tattoos are absolutely perfect for that pic. It reads “Family First” across the back of his arms. just something I noticed. Thought it made the pic even cooler.

Nice!
I just got misty-eyed again. This one is even better than ’98.
That one with Anthony Davis holding the trophy kind of scared me.
you can find ALL the GREAT pictures at kentuckybasketball.tumblr.com It’s an awesome site for UK pictures!
While we celebrate and feel joyous, there’s always some hateful idiot ready to piss on our parade. Anybody read this clown’s take on the game?

1) Dude, they need to make that splash page image of the wildcat with the net a shirt and poster.
I saw that too #11

The picture of TJ holding the trophy and smiling is his best glamour shot to date. Love that smiling face!
not to say these kids don’t deserve to do everything they did. because i certainly ran around jumping up and down in my apartment.
23: I was jumping up and down, scaring my kids, blowing my knees out, kittycats running around panicked.
It was great.
Must Say this Team has to go down as one of the best Kentucky Team ever. Hard to Believe three years ago we were in the NIT, Great Job Caoch Cal, thank you Big Blue Nation

#7, All I know is, Cal and the Cats have a trophy in their hands, and that guy just has a keyboard to type on. So happy for Cal, the team, and fans.
Getting kind of emotional! Love the Jon Hood photo bomb in picture #20 of AD and Coach Cal.
I thought one and dones did not care about the trophy?
Did Coach Cal cut down the nets at all?
This may have been discussed earlier; I haven’t been reading many comments this morning. But WHAT THE HECK is up with the Nike “8*” shirt with that damn asterisk on it?!?! On the back, too?!?!

AWESOME CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any one know of a livestream of celebration today?
32: It is an unfortunate design, but the asterisk is meant to designate a footnote, which in this case is on the back of the shirt.
Where is “old school cat” or whoever he was that I had to call out last year when he was bailing on the team and saying Cal would never win a title? I think he crawled back into his hole last year when we made our run and the team showed the heart and togetherness that Cal is able to pull out of his teams.

20. I think Darius was on the floor. that pic is from earlier.
36. Pretty sure “Old School” was an IU or UL fan trolling. He’ll be quiet for about two days but he’ll be back. He’s a loser and therefore has nothing else better to do.

Where the hell is miller? don’t see him in any.
I saw 6 and 7 team. This one was the best. They has the best chemistry, the best coach, and just overall loved one another. The most unselfish team I have seen and I watch basketball all season long!!!
Hearing they are going to hang the banner today any truth to that?
11-Darius was the only one that went through the line with the coaches and shook hands with the players from Kansas.

Is Kentucky the greatest program ever? http://wp.me/p2bjjs-zy
I don’t know when they’re gonna hang the banner but I will say that I know it is ready. I’ve actually seen it.
46. Yup! A clear image of what a Calipari coached player becomes. Like Cal, pure class.
48) Same here thats why I ask.
Twanny… how’s that UK thing workin’ out for ya ???
Say, does Cal got a spot for an eager assistant ???
47. They should really proof read stuff when making such bold and lofty claims.
45) Right on. I’ve been screaming this all morning! Nike screwed up on this one. And, UK screwed up if they had any knowledge of it beforehand.

you think i’m gonna show my face around here now? i’m not man enough to admit i was wrong. i’m just grumpy. get that couch off my lawn!
24 – I used to do that when Tubby was our coach…out of frustration!! 🙂

Somewhere Stacey Poole is sulking in regret.
In that second pic where Teague is hugging the guys, his tattoos are absolutely perfect for that pic. It reads “Family First” across the back of his arms. just something I noticed. Thought it made the pic even cooler.
Can anyone tell me what the “Greater” means on the no.1 hat means?
63- The hat says No. 1 Greater…No One Greater????!!!???
