As stated glad Calapari had them show some class...

It is a big deal and I hope Calipari chewed their asses out.

A big deal? Hoped Calipari chewed their asses out. Really, Loserville is no big deal, let them have fun.

"Is stomping on your hated rival's court-sticker mascot a big deal? Only if you live in Kentucky. "
really? only in KY. So, if UNC did this to Duke, no big deal. If Bama did it to Auburn, eh. Only in KY? what a stupid thing to say.
shouldnt there be some kind of rules or something before you can write a professional blog.

J - It is a big deal. It is called respect and it ought to be displayed at all times.
I am proud of all of our state's University teams. I am from Ky and I bleed blue.
I still enjoy seeing good basketball being represented in all of our beautiful state.

Eammon your writing is fine.. Some folks need a life outside their own minds. This one was a gesture.
Pissin' on it would be a big deal !

It was all in fun and I loved it and the cats will back it up on the court to! cards suck just ask unlv who beats them every year

calipari was correct..."we do dumb things" just like he did at memphis when he allowed a player to play. knowing the player didn't take his own act test...right cal? we all do dumb things...including you???

"K" come on, Calipari had nothing to to with the Rose deal. The NCAA is who says its ok for the player to play, NOT THE COACH. Lets use some commmon sense!

Well another case of piss poor discipline on Calamari's part. Get use to it Ukers , Calamari is the most hated man in college sports!(and rightfully so) What a frickin disgrace Uk is now! But hey, you wanted [profane], you got [profane]! Live with it!

Its funny every one credits Calipari with showing some class but then pushs his team to demoralize a beatin down and over whelmed team in the 2nd half. Ashvilles body language said they had given up with 16 min to go in the 2nd. Down by 40 and so Cal keeps his starting five in and goes for the full court press with an emphasis on converting turnovers into points. Yea thats REAL CLASS ! ! As for the stomping on the mascot logo; HELL YEA its a big deal. Like Post #5 said. Try that [profane] in NC and it will make the headlines. Somebody would get hurt, either on the court or off. Its competely disrespectful. For all you idiots that say its ok, let the boys have some fun. Louisville sucks anyway. Lets flip it around and say Louisville players stomp on UKs court mascot. Imagine that and then try to say its all in fun. As for the last comment by the author; He is dead wrong. It is nothing more than openlydisrespecting opponents.
Hopefully this isnt the beginnig of the embarasment for Kentucky every one claims Calipari will bring. He is rite that we all do dumb things but as the head coach, ultimatly he is responsible for the actions of his team. Especially when there rite in front of him. Hope for Kentuckys sake he gets better control of those punks! Yea I said PUNKS and would say it to there face so do waiste your time even asking.

roger v; Obviously I dont hate Kentucky as bad as you do but I do wish people would call it for what it is. They have to defend him if you look at all the money they put up to get him between buying him and buying out that drunk guy before him. Especially when you consider the cloud around Calipari at UMASS and Memphis, Well not proven but all ended in a way that begs the question; ( Is he a cheat ) and ( Will he cheat for us )? With the support and money being trown his way one can only think they dont care.
As for the players; There is a reason wall didnt go to UNC , Duke , or Kansas. They would'nt have him after his little breaking and entering gig. All three schools stoped perssueing him that very day and all offers where removed from the table for him. Plus he just anouther one and done trying to build on his NBA stock at the expence of Kentucky. Just wait and see. Not all of his kids are bad but just like kids, they will get into trouble with-out supervision and good role-models. Just look at what they do on and off the court ! ! !

Come on just look at UK's RPI rateing. Can't wait to see them play anybody with a rateing over 50! lmao

Wow. Would you guys like some cheese with that wine. Patterson, Cousins, and Harrelson stomp on a logo and some of you act like you've never done worse. All the sudden your writing about how calipari cheats and walls breaking and entering charge. PLEASE GET OFF OF UK'S NUTS! The coaches stopped them and said it was dumb. End of story you would think. I think you Louisville fans need to worry about your own coach before you bring up cal. Too bad you can't get penalized for adultery.

It's not a big deal....but simply because neither team will matter in March. Kentucky is a joke of a state....honestly, an a-bomb could blow it to hell and maybe 3 people would care

these aren't rhodes scholars we're talking about! Why give bulletin board material to future opponent? Smart thing is to build up opponent(ala Lou Holtz) and then blitz them in the game.

Come on folks... this means absolutely nothing... cleam fun against a rival... so what?
u of l and u of k... will have a great match up this year... it will be close match... either
team can win... lady luck may play a role in the outcome... but this is just going too far...
going after a bunch of kids having a little fun with their fans.... give me a break...
it college sports not saddam stature beging removed... hello blue grass fans..of either team... come on...ciao

Shouldnt stomp on the Ville.........sponsored by KFC. Too much class.

I have seen this happen at other arenas to other teams. This is just harmless fun.
Roger v. You need to see someone about this anger you have toward Calipari. Are you a jilted Memphis fan?? Or, Do you not have a life? You post your babbling bull about UK and Calipari on every blog. Get a Life!!!!!!

Michael H thanks for the offer but I have my own cheese.Maybe I'm a hater but I like to think not. I'm deffinatly not a Loiusville fan so you can stop that thought rite there! My favorite teams are UNC, MST, Kentucky, and Kansas. Being that I was raised around UNC they are my team but I love the Kentucky program too. I dont mean to bash them but I will bash the players and a coach if there is reason to. At no point did I say any thing was a fact about Calipari, just that there is alot of suspition around him and hope for Kentuckys sake its not true. If it will make you feel better I will go on to say; Atleast Kentucky will hit 2000 wins before any other program in history. ( As long as nothing comes up to negate this years wins ). See you and your PUNK A$$ team Saturday.. But dont try that [profane] in Chapel Hill next year. And dont get mad if somebody does that to your team mascot in Kentucky. Remember: Its just clean fun ! ! !

jan. 2 is a day that will shutup the fans in the commonwealth and teach UK fans that they need to shutup.

Isn't Loiusville in the commonwealth??? And, Jan. 2, we will see. Don't blow the Cardinal horn to loud.

This is absolutely great. I am a UK fan and I think it show's a team that has some emotion and heart. If I hear someone use the word "CLASS" again I think I will be sick. This is the dumbest and most overused word ever. People think they have "class" by using the word "class". What does that even mean? Anyway who cares. I hope during the game UK will show its "unCLASS" ways by tea bagging the Birds on some John Wall oops!!!!

half the teams never even experienced the rivalry and probably never knew about it much and they are already acting like idiots. why'd they even play there?
